For owners of the Sony Alpha a7 II, Christmas will be coming early this year. Via a press release from B&H Photo (I know Sony has outsourced their online retail portal to authorized resellers, but are they no longer doing their own press releases either?), the Sony Alpha a7 II will be gaining uncompressed RAW this November with a firmware update.
But that’s not all. The firmware update, which is set to arrive on November 18th, will have other goodies attached to it as well. Those details after the jump.
According to B&H, along side uncompressed RAW support, the Sony a7 II will also gain Phase-Detect AF. Specifically
the camera’s AF system sees a massive boost in performance with the 117-point on-sensor phase detection AF array now supporting adapted lenses, such as those from Sony’s A-mount line. This is similar to what we have already seen with the a7R II, and ensures fast, accurate autofocus performance with a vast variety of glass, making the move to mirrorless much easier.
Other things include more customization options for assigning custom keys for specific functions like movie recording.
