There is a thread devoted to the update located here:

Sorry Jeff,
My apologies to you and others on the forum. My mistake.

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

You made no mistake, Dennis, you were being helpful. All of us have posted helpful information, as you have done, not knowing it was already in another thread! I have done it multiple times.

This thread is a very good place to have this info, since it is such an active and popular thread.

I hope I did not offend you, it was not my intention. Have a great day!

Hi Jeff,
Your comments are much appreciated. I did not take it as being offensive, just helpful info.
Thanks,
Denny

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

Are there improvements of firmware v3 over v2? Is quality of the video improved? But how much?
Thanks

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

I found the autofocus function significantly improved over v2 of the firmware. Have not yet seen any of the100 MBPS 4K, so I can't speak to that.
Hope this helps,
Denny

With a SanDisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s SD XC I U1 class 10 64GB is it possible to rec with 100 MB/s please?
Thanks

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

No, the AX100 checks for the U3 rating. If it is not there, regardless of the speed of the card, it will not work.

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

Thanks for your news. Can you be so kind to tell me the precise mark i have to buy please? I need the best Sony U3 SD super fast.
Thanks

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

Denny, could you explain in what way focus has significantly improved?

Many thanks

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

So what is the advantage of using a UHS-3 card and recording at 100gbs?...How will that improve my footage?

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
 

A higher bit rate means more detail/information is being captured. A good way to see the difference is by filming a shot of a park or with trees / branches etc. You should be able to see a clear difference when you play back the footage.
