Sony has finally released the NX70 firmware, sadly I no longer own this camera so I won’t be able to see the improvement myself.

NOTE : This is the US screen that my link takes you to and I have already downloaded the new FW onto my computer but the FS100 has been delayed till April the 19th.
Link to FW is here :
“Firmware upgrades for NEX-FS100U & NEX-FS100UK have been revised for planned realease date of April 19, 2012.” FS100 firmware is not out yet.
First thank You HD Warrior
The new firmware works also on my NX70E (PAL). So it look like it is an universal fimwarefile.
(Without any warranty!)
Read the instructions carefully.
Best Regards

False! The Fs100 firmware isn’t out till April 19th. You should change the title of your post because your lying.
I did not notice the FS100 FW was on hold as I only looked at the NX70 FW page but I have changed my page title to reflect this.
Any confirmation for PAL owners yet?
NX70 and FS100 are two completely different cameras with different firmwares. The update for the NX70 has been released already and can be downloaded, while the update for the FS100 is scheduled for April, 19. At least that is what Sony tell us on the website you linked to. So I doubt very much that you were able to download the new FS100 firmware…
