There is a new firmware update for the RX100m2 you can download at Sony support (Click here and select your OS). What Does This Do?
This utility updates the camera firmware to version 1.10 and improves the vibration and noise of the lens during auto-focusing.

” improves (?!?!?!) the vibration and noise”??
As opposed to “reduces”?
lol so that means more vibration and noise.
I’ll throw away my RX100III if the mark II gets an XAVCS update. Hot shoe > EVF for the type of shooting that I do with this camera.
Agreed, we want XAVCs!
Also for the first RX100 http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=DSCRX100&upd_id=10230&os_group_id=6
So who’s going to try it first? I have never noticed any vibration or noise from AF..
I have just updated the firmware and confirm, completely silent. 😮
“improves the vibration and noise of the lens” LMAO
So they changed the version number?

i mean good morning 🙂

I really want Sony to fix those “artifacts” in video recording of fast moving objects, but is not included in this long waited firmware. So sad!
Any camera with an AVCHD standard will have those artifacts because compression standards (to keep them below 24mbps at 24/25p and 28mbps for 50/60p)
Movement and noise create macro blocking which is the consequence of compression which is a symptom of the AVCHD standard.
But such noise is not seen on my A65 & A77II
not seen or at least not obvious
Not obvious doesn’t mean its not there. It all depends on your scene, you see? Lots of details, more likely you will get the artifacts. Less details, maybe like a close up of a face, less likely to have artifacts. Trees and motion? Try it with any AVCHD cam…even the RX10 has it and that’s one of the better AVCHD cams out there.
Use Neat Video. It has temporal noise reduction that interprets the movement for up to 5 frames before and after the current, and applies smoothing. Gets rid of compression artifacts nicely.
It seems that the MAC Yosemite OS does not support the upload process 🙁
Yes confirmed, Mac OS Yosemite can not support the upload. I have tried numerous times with error messages every time.
I just did it on Mac OS Yosemite. Check your security level. The default security lever only allows you to run firmware upgrade that come from Apple. That must be change to “anyone”.
Did that, still having error messages … talked to Sony and they can’t help.
Was able to run the firmware upgrade software on Yosemite (10.10.2), but the software was unable to connect to the camera. Ran it on computer with a previous version of OS X (10.9.5) and it worked fine.
I’m at loss to explain why it worked it worked with my (10.10.2) but your’s did not?!?! Glad you resolved your problem.
It’s funny how every post that doesn’t mention firmware is immediately bombarded by the usual trolls complaining Sony abandons their cameras and never provides update, yet here we are with another firmware update and all I see is tumbleweed.
RX100 got the update to, but even Admin doesn’t care…
Thank you Admin. I just successfully downloaded it and installed the firmware upgrade to my RX100M2.
