Sony a7 II: Updated The Firmware From 3.30 to 4.0.
Click pictures to ENLARGE.
I have had the Sony a7 II for exactly a month and this was my 2nd firmware update!
I am NOT used to updating camera firmware that often. But, to be fair, for reasons that nobody seems to be able to explain, my a7 II, with zero shutter actuations, came with downlevel firmware, i.e., version 3.10 which had been released in November 2016, 6 months prior to me ordering the camera.
Updating to 4.0 was a breeze. Updater worked, flawlessly, first time around. Took about 14 minutes from my reckoning, but I wasn’t keeping careful track. It was pretty quick and the progress bar was moving along nicely.
Took about 80 pictures following the update. Didn’t notice anything awry.
This is what 4.0, released just a few days ago, viz. June 8, 2017, is supposed to do:

Irony Of Theresa May’s Embarrassment, Margaret Thatcher Had A Landslide 34 Years & 1 DAY Ago!
June 8, 2017 vs June 9, 1983.
What a difference.
June 9, 1983 with Margaret Thatcher.
I voted, for her, in this election, in Harpenden, Herts.

June 8, 2017 with Theresa May.
Though eligible to vote, I did NOT because the U.K.
does not have a good mail-in balloting scheme.

Quite a difference. Maggie walked away with 397 seats. May has 317. That is a 80-seat difference.
To be fair Maggie had the BRILLIANT Falkland Island victory to bouy her.
Wonder if Theresa gave the June 9th date any thought when she called the election for June 8.

Notice the wooden paddle in the middle picture of the last row. It was inside the cabin of the BIG yellow amphibian.
It was a good, fun, uplifting ‘day’. The weather cooperated in the end. No rain. Some sun. Some wind, sometimes quite gusty; blew over a vendor tent. But I think everybody had a great time. Way more folks than I had expected given the ‘storm’ overnight. Good job. Well done.

Ray Burton at the Laconia Airport Open House today.
I have known Lisa since around 2000 (when she worked at the Gilford Library) and Don since about 2001 when I joined Laconia Rotary. That we were huge supporters of Lisa is no secret and we are very glad and proud to have Lisa as a State Rep. I am, as with Ray Burton, rather fond of Don. He has a good head on his shoulders and you can always rely on Don, as with Ray, to be reasonable irrespective of the politics. Suffice to say I had long chats with both of them individually and then together. It was good. It was a pleasure and an honor. Good people, both.

Don Flanders, Deanna, Teischan sitting on the tarmac and Lisa in front of the Laconia Airport terminal building today, at the Open House. Click to ENLARGE.
