How to update Sigma E-Mount lenses in 2020

***UPDATE FOR 2021! Sigma has a new website and I covered this in a new video! Check it out here:
**********************************************************************************

After finding no good video on here that explains the process, I decided to make my own. You don't need anything fancy, just a USB cord and computer with internet access. Here is the link to the Sigma lens firmware page, to save you time:

When you go here, find your lens and click over on the right side, where it says "Details". Scroll down to find the E-Mount section and there are the download links for Windows and Mac, take your pick.

Thanks for watching my video, folks! If you’re interested in my other content, check me out on:

I know this is over two years old but this was extremely helpful, especially the part about the battery.

My guy!! You’re a life saver, I’ve just picked up the a7R iii and my Sigma 85mm arrives on Tuesday; I’ve been searching everywhere and you the only person with all the info. Thanks for the help and happy shooting :)

Won't work with Mac/Catalina 10.14 to 10.15+ according to the Sigma website. And this has been my experience as well. Sent a message to Sigma to see what to do.

How do you update your Sigma lenses using a BlackMagic URSA mini pro 4.6K G2?

[DontKnowLetsGo]

Legend thank you.
FYI for everyone else. Some DC DN lenses don't have an option to update for Sony. I have a 56mm 1.4 DC DN and the update is only available for Sigma Fp, Leica, Panasonic L mount and Canon.
Waiting on Sigma to get back to me about this.

Iv been having focus issues in the 105 1.4 and my A1, blurry photos even though focus locked, judt checked my lens and its on v01, I see there is a v02 out in going try this i was about get rid of the lens

My Sigma lens upgrade download was a plf file that was put on the SD card - then the instructions were to do a firmware upgrade on the camera lens - which doesnt exist on a AR7 ii.

Damn, you are litterally a life saver. I was just about to buy a usb dock and I looked how there was like no e-mount version and I am like wtf lol. I am curious if it will work for my sigma canon mount with a mount converter

[newt]

quick question. I just bought the Sigma 100-400 lens for my Sony A7III. I went to the Sigma website to grab the files I need, and I see this. Did you see the following on their page before? Not sure what the deal is. Do you?

Please check the version from camera menu.
If the lens version is firmware Ver.01 it cannot be updated by the end-user via the camera. Therefore, SIGMA will update the lens firmware free of charge.
