Sony has released the much-anticipated new V2.00 firmware to add the S-Cinetone picture profile preset to the Sony A7S III mirrorless camera. This now basically brings it in line with the Sony FX3, but with a built-in EVF and a significantly lower price point.

The new firmware also adds the Active setting to Steady Shot when shooting with S&Q Frame Rate enabled. There are a few other little fixes in there, too, including FTP transfers as well as USB tethering to the iPhone (although iOS 14 isn’t supported yet).

The Sony FX3 hasn’t even begun shipping yet, and Sony’s already giving more reasons for folks not to get one. Sony has released A7S III Firmware Version 2.00 which adds Sony’s S-Cinetone colour profile, first seen in the FX6, coming with the FX3, and included with the recently released Sony A1, to the Sony A7S III.

Sony says that the colour profile “delivers natural mid-tines that are essential to healthy-looking skin colour, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights”. This can either be applied while monitoring or you can bake it into the footage to make your life go a little quicker when grading.
