Upgrading Nex Firmware

[Nokton48]

My second Nex-3 body arrived today. Here it is, the MC Rokkor and LTM adapters arrived today, as well. So I can play with the second body a bit.

I registered the body with Sony, now I want to upgrade the firmware. For the life of me, I don't recall exactly how I accomplished this with my first body.

What is the process to upgrade the firmware in a Nex-3?

Thanks Guys in advance!

Thanks for the link.
Figured out what I needed, Nex-3 #2 now has the V.3 firmware.

Is there any news on firmware ver. 4 (the one with manual focus assist lines)?

No news so far.. but some says something will happen in the end of this month... finger crossed!

how much do these adapters fetch?
And, how does a tiny nex3 handle with the mighty big rokkor on it??

Around $25.. I bought couple on Ebay from rainbowimaging, somebody recommended here. I was quite happy with the tight fit.
I also bought one for $18 from somebody else in China- it was loose, took long to deliver and overall bad, still trying to return for refund 🙂

Remember old Sony 717 digital cameras with tiny bodies and large but actually pretty good lenses a while ago? That's how it feels. It is actually not all that bad, kind of like TLR in a way.

Here is the Nex-3 V.3 firmware link:

I do like the upgrade! Now both of my Nex-3's operate identically.
