Sony has posted a firmware update for its Handycam NEX-VG10E E-mount camcorder that allows it to autofocus with A-mount lenses. The camcorder was able to accept A-mount lenses from day one, via an adapter, but so far it has not been able to autofocus with them. Available now for download, the free firmware update adds AF support with 14 A-mount SAM and SSM lens models. The firmware update can be obtained from the website below. Note that you need to download a separate firmware update for the LA-EA1 adapter as well.
