This firmware update provides new features including photo effects, D-RANGE button, and setting display in viewfinder. Photo effects can select filters to obtain various textures, D-RANGE button can assign the required function to the D-RANGE button, and setting display in viewfinder can set the shutter speed, aperture value, EV scale bar and SteadyShot scale bar indication in the viewfinder when shooting information is closed.
The firmware update adds several new functions to the SLT‑A33, SLT‑A55 and SLT‑A55V cameras. It introduces new photo‑effect filters, additional D‑RANGE button assignments, and options for viewfinder display and menu positioning.
The document explains how to select photo effects via the SCN mode, assign functions such as shooting mode, flash mode, autofocus, and creative style to the D‑RANGE button, hide shooting information on the viewfinder, and choose whether the menu always opens to the first screen or the last used screen. This manual is written in Chinese.
Use the D‑RANGE button assignment menu to select the desired function, such as shooting mode, flash mode, autofocus, or creative style.
Set the mode dial to SCN (photo effect), press the central button, then choose the desired effect from the list.
Turn off the shooting information; this also hides shutter speed, aperture value, and the SteadyShot indicator on the viewfinder.
