Zig Weidelich (Monday, December 24, 2007 - 23:46 EST)Sony has released firmware version 3 for the DSLR-A700 digital SLR. Available now via Sony's support website, the update addresses a couple of issues.
Benefits over firmware version 2:
Resolves an issue where the Access Lamp remains lit and the camera stops responding when several pictures are taken in rapid succession.
Resolves an issue where powering the camera off while in "MR" mode may cause some registered settings to carry over to other shooting modes.
Additional benefits over other firmware versions:
Sharper images for pictures taken under low contrast conditions.
Reduced noise for pictures taken at ISO 3200.
Improved flash control for objects closer than 1 meter with non ADI controlled lenses.
