I think the 2 headers that say "previous" means that those are the things from the earlier updates, not this one. I think it just means all the changes roll up.
Sony a1 2.0 firmware finally out

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
There're 2 files in the zip:
- Current version installed on your A1 to 1.35
- 1.35 to 2.0
From what I understand 1.35 is only necessary if you don’t have 1.32 or newer unless I’m misread it
No, I had 1.32 installed and it refused to migrate directly from 1.32 to 2.0
Hmm I can see it both ways. To me it seems like it's saying, "these were previous firmware update notes that are also included in this update" rather than completely new, but with how it's worded it could be either. I'm not familiar enough with the old notes to know if they repeated or not.
EDIT: Actually, I'm pretty sure these are old updates, given the last line is "
Which is no longer used with this update (It's replaced by Creators App).

I agree, usually wording "Previous Benefits and Improvements" is used for actual previous version, not for the new one.
Yeah, the wording is clear as mud to me because it seems to me like there are some auto focus improvements being added. I don’t even understand why they would be a need to put something from my previous version listed in this update other than to confuse people I suppose.
No Sony specifically says you can’t do that on this firmware update.
I’m hoping this will change the user interface to match the new menu interface the same as my A7RV it does state something about user interface changes, and I really like the layout on the newer camera
Yes, I know, already discussed in the following posts (see poste #13)

Actually Sony website lists the 200-600 as compatible but NOT the 600f:4
So what is this 1.35? Both of my cameras are 1.32 which has been the most current. Did they do two at once?
See my post #32
I read on another forum it does.
Before migrating to V2.0, you have to follow :
Migration to V2.0 in progress :
That would be awesome because I really love the menu on the newer body

I was quite excited about the IS improvement until I realized it doesn't work with my main lens (600 f:4) but at least it will help with the 100-400 and 200-600 which are my walk-around lenses.
let's see how the eye-AF improvements impact performance. Sony tends to downplay the changes they make there so hopefully we'll see more sticky AF than in the latest firmware versions.
I really wished they had implemented focus stacking and some level of pre-capture. And the FPS boost function would have been nice if we could have mapped it to the lens button...
Overall, not blown away but I realize they focused on the functionalities pros need for the olympics rather than wildlife photographer desires...

Yeah, focus stacking is something I really wish they would’ve implemented and also firmware via card like the newer bodies, but I am happy with some of the additions they have made and look forward to trying it out to see if the auto performance has improved back to the level of 1.20.
...and to not overlap A9III functionalities
When are you updating?
Now

yah, but that seems like a pretty niche feature
