Check your local Sony Support website to download NEX-5n Firmware 1.01 Update for Windows or Mac OS. Read the instructions twice before doing the update and make sure your battery is at 100%.


Unfortunately there is still no 7 shot exposure bracketing.

  1. Sorry for the double-post. I should have waited until I'd completed the update. It turns out that the Mac OS X updater is a 32-bit only application. If you're running OS X 10.7, you're probably in 64-bit mode by default and the updater will just tell you it can't run because of that.

    I hadn't run across this with any other application before. It turns out that you can boot to a 32-bit kernel by rebooting and holding down the 3 and 2 keys while you boot.

    Once I did that, the updater ran fine and my camera now displays the 1.01 version internally.

  4. 1.01 has apparently been withdrawn. Couldn't load it, and the tech had no idea that 1.01 even existed. Went to page and .05 is the latest!!
