The firmware update is for the Lens is for Sony E PZ16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens (SELP1650). This is on a PC. But I do have something to say about the M1 Mac version of the Update. The new version is Version 2.

Its benefits and improvements: Improves AF performance.

In preparation for the firmware update:
The lens must be mounted on the camera.
Note: There are certain older camera models that cannot be used to update the lens.
Check the system software versions of the lens.
(On a Mac, you’ll need to be on MacOS 10.5, 11 or 12. However if you’re on MacOS 13 Ventura, this update will Not work, unfortunately…at least at the time of this video release.)
On a PC, you must be on Windows 10 or 11 and make sure nothing else is running in the background.
For the camera, Fully charge the battery or use a new one.
Remove the SD card so that it would not try to access the card during the Update.
Download the Lens Updater (Update_SELP1650V2D.exe) and follow the instructions.
The update should take about 2-3 minutes.

❤I went into the settings and saw the camera update was version 2, and the lens update was version 1. And oh my gosh, thank you for making this video. Otherwise I don't know how to update the lens software 🎉

From what I understand, the AF motor will move faster, the step motor system is able to run in a faster polling rate, and the processor in the lens is helping to do some data processing for the AF and OSS.

I just bought a 5T that has this lens but it didn't come with the usb to micro cable... would a generic one work? Also, it states on the Sony page that Win7 isn't supported... what could happen if I try it anyway? In addition, if I also intend to do the 3/19/14 NEX Camera Firmware on the same Sony website as well, which should I do first? Thanks

If you a have mutiple lens are you able update each lens? For ex. I have 3 lens. Will all the lens 3 lens firmware updates be saved on the camera or saved directly on the lens.

Does updating lens firmware have some risk of bricking the lens or no?

how I press NEXT at the very first step, lens system software stops working. I tried multiple cables but nothing. I guess I will never update my lens!
