See you in the next video, goodbye for now!
➡If you're updating to firmware 3.0 from version 2.0, you can straight away do it without the need for the other versions, and it's the same process in this video.
➡Also, if you have a SmallRig NP-FZ100 third-party battery, it will no longer show the battery percentage on the LCD screen after the 3.0 update. I talked about it in this video: th-cam.com/video/z4vjtYg1KjM/w-d-xo.html I learned it the hard way so please be informed. Thank you!
It is very dishonest of Sony not to mention that v3.00 disables monitoring of power from SmallRig batteries. Is there a way to force the camera back to firmware v2.00?😡
@@petem1554, my thoughts exactly. I was surprised too and I'm like oh well, I guess I just have to deal with it moving forward. I am not sure if you can even revert back to firmware 2.00. Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. Hopefully, someone here was able to successfully do it and will share their experience. My only consolation with the 3.0 update is that I can use the Monitor & Control app, which is really nice. But again, Sony should've mentioned that the third-party batteries will be affected and won't show the percentage once updated to 3.0. I appreciate your comment and thanks for stopping by the channel! 🙏🏽
@@BernieHiposthe problem with the app is that it does not support focus peaking or magnified focus so when using manual primes or zooms, it makes it very difficult to nail focus, especially while operating a gimbal.
@@petem1554, I hear you. But you know what, I actually forgot that the app doesn't have focus peaking or magnified focus at all. Haha... since I'm all for Sony's AF now. It's so good that there's no need for me to use manual focusing (I'm not saying that I won't use it at all since I still have a Canon FD lens with an e-mount adapter), especially when using a gimbal. I just let it do the work for me and it was one of the reasons why I switched from Lumix, but I totally get it and understand where you're coming from since not everyone uses autofocus. I was once a manual focus guy, but this time around I just utilize Sony's great AF and use it to my advantage, and let the camera do the work for me. I appreciate you sharing the info by the way.
Not sure why Sony made this so complicated. You definitely cleared thins up for me! Thank you!!
Ed O’Reilly, you’re welcome! So glad that the video helped. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching the video! 🙏🏾
This was simple, but very thorough and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!!

Is there anyway I can do this if my Mac doesn’t take sd cards?
Why doesn’t it work for me damn following the instructions but when I add the card to the camera is not there
Thank you Bernie! Very helpful information 😊

@BernieHipos any chance you have a direct link to the V2.0? The 2.0 link in your description redirects to 3.0 and 2.0 is nowhere to be found.
Seems the 3.0 removes 3rd party battery support (what a surprise).
@jamiejongkind1182, you're correct that the link redirects to 3.0. I looked for the 2.0 link and it's nowhere to be found. Maybe Sony took it down? I'm not sure why it's now showing up. Sorry, I have no answer for you.
Yes, that's the downside of the 3.0 update. The battery percentage no longer shows on the LCD screen, particularly the SmallRig one which shouldn't be the case, and I really hope that Sony will revert it back in the next update. 🤞🏾
@@BernieHipos ye sadly that's what they did. And they 100% knew what they were doing, for 3rd party battery service.
Thanks for checking bud!
@@jamiejongkind1182, no problem! Yes, I totally agree with you. Have a blast filming with your FX30! Thanks for stopping by the channel @jamiejongkind1182!
Thank you
@SunGym, you’re welcome and thank you for watching! 🙏🏾
This is great. I need to do mine.
@Group III, thank you! DCI 4K is a nice addition but needs a faster card. Overall a great update!
Thanks
@PoppyDog, wow so awesome!!! Thanks so much and I appreciate the super thanks and for watching the video! 🙏🏽
Thank you!
@ATMO FILMS, you're welcome! Thanks for your comment and for watching the video! 🙏🏽
After updating all my frame rates now have decimals rather than “true” fps e.g 60fps is now 59.97 any idea why?
@alvie00Alvie, it's totally normal and they've now allocated the number without the decimal point only for DCI 4K and true 24p recording after the 2.0 update. If you're not filming in a true 24p setting, you'll notice that your frame rate will appear as 23.98p, which is normal. Your camera is totally OK. Hope this helps. Have fun filming with your FX30 and thanks for watching the video! 🙏🏽
Thank you, I was having a hard time figuring out where the root of the memory card was.
@Chapter Sev7en Studios, you're welcome! So glad the video helped. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching! 🙏🏽
Where is the root perhaps that’s what I’m missing 🥲
@@sketchbe the root is the beginning as soon as you click on the card from your desktop. It’s the first page you see
@@sketchbe, after plugging in the sd card, the root is the blank part and not inside any folder. It’s the base directory when you open up the SD card for the first time, just copy the file there. I hope it makes sense. Good luck and thanks for watching the video! 🙏🏾
@@BernieHipos il try ☺️
thanks!
@loicwirth5421, you're very welcome!
merci🙏
@sekousacko3942, you're very welcome! Thank you for watching the video! 🙏🏽
Will this delete all my presents and custom settings?
@danielsanchezm4808, as far as my experience goes, it will not. So far so good with the update except for the battery indicator when using the SmallRig third-party battery. After the 3.0 update, it no longer shows it. Just a heads up. Thanks for your question and for watching the video!
Thank you for the info! I will be updating soon, cuz I want to use the the new monitor and control app.
@@danielsanchezm4808, no problem! I love the Monitor & Control app and I highly recommend it! It's a helpful tool, especially for talking head videos and interviews. 👌🏾 Enjoy using it!
If I haven’t updated fx30 to 1.0 , can I just still proceed to update straight to 2.0 or I have to do it chronologically ?
@1Pano Motion, you meant 1.05? FX30's firmware out of the box is 1.0, and yes, you have to update it chronologically to avoid issues. I appreciate your question and thank you for watching the video! 🙏🏽
@@BernieHiposthank you for the responses
@@1panomotion847, no problem!
FX30 what changes from software 1.05 to 2? what changes from software 1.05 to 2? by updating the spftware, is there a risk that the sdxc are no longer read? other information.. how do i record a movie both in mp4 and fullhd? and then to find the two different movies on the sdxc?
@valerio mazzanti, thanks for your question! For the 1.05 update, actually, no idea since technically my first major FX30 update is version 2.0. I just updated first to 1.05 for me to be able to update to 2.0. The SD card I used was the Lexar Professional 256GB and it worked very well. I don't know about other SD cards. For recording, you can either record in 1080p or 4K. I only record in 4K with the exception of some 1080p test footage. MP4 is different, it's a container format that stores video and audio, whereas 1080p is the resolution. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching the video as well! 🙏🏽
@@BernieHipos so by updating FX30 with version 2.0 it works with 128GB V60 UHS-II SD Card: Up to 130MB/s Write Speed and 250MB/s Read Speed Lexar SD 128GB 270MB/s 1800x Class 10 UHS-II V60? with these two sdxc version 2.0 fx30 work?
@@valeriomazzanti8681, I am not sure about other V60 cards since I've only used one brand, the Lexar Professional SDXC 250MB/s V60II card. If you have the same specs, then it'll work even if it's 128GB. Mine is 256GB, which works very well and has never had issues. I hope I answered your question. Thanks for asking! 🙏🏽Cheers!
@@BernieHipos .. so .. on your fx30 updated to 2.0 .. can you confirm that your sdxc Lexar Professional SDXC 250MB/s V60II works well?
@@valeriomazzanti8681, yes 💯%! That's what I'm using right now and it's the 1667x. And I forgot to add that the 1800x Class 10 UHS-II V60 that you wrote will be even better, so either mine or yours will work great. 👌🏾
💡Were you able to update to the latest firmware? How did it go?
I updated the firmware but it doesn't say 24p for my frame rate. Its still 23.??. Did I do something wrong? I went from 1.00 to 1.05 to 2.00 with no issues but I don't have true 24p. And ideas?
@@theangryronin2152, it will no longer say 24p since it’s now allocated when you film in DCI 4K and true 24p recording. Your camera is totally fine and will now show 23.98p after the 2.0 update. This is for NTSC and you’ll notice that too in 60p and is now 59.94p. For DCI 4K, you’ll need a faster card to access that feature. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment and for watching the video! 🙏🏾
@@BernieHipos oh wonderful! Thank you for the help. I just got my camera 2 days ago! Very excited to upgrade from my ZV-E10. I'll have to get some better cards. Thanks again my friend.
@@theangryronin2152, no worries my friend, and you're very welcome! Great choice and you'll enjoy it! I love mine and love filming with it. Have a blast filming with your FX30!
just realized my was already at 3.0 out of the box. haha all this for nothing
@Richard_Leon, haha... 😂 At least you're all set and don't have to go through the steps. 😀👌🏾 Still thank you for watching and stopping by the channel! Cheers!
@@BernieHipos hey because of your tutorial i atleast learned I'm up to date so it was a win! and now I know for the future how to update! got a sub from me either way =)
@@Richard_Leon, I'm so glad and I appreciate the sub! Thank you very much! 🙏🏽 Have a blast filming with your FX30!👌🏾
thank you
@NARRASSA Filmes, you're welcome! I appreciate you watching the video! 🙏🏽
@@BernieHipos how long the second update takes? I’m waiting about 20 minutes and it didn’t finished yet.
@@NARRASSAFilmes, mine took only less than 2 minutes. Does the access lamp still blink while you're doing the update? At first, I didn't see it since I can't find where it's at, but it was at the bottom right corner of the FX30. It should blink if the update is ongoing. If not, might be the battery, do you have it fully charged before starting the update? Or it could be the file and it has to be loaded onto the root of the SD card like in the video, and the name should be BODYDATA.DAT. I hope you'll get it sorted out soon!
