Latest July firmware patch Stability testing (MAJOR UPDATE) 1080p tests added !

[Gilgameshuk]

Right I think that stability has not improved one iota, though gratefully and admittedly there have been a host of other fixes,

Anyway dont let me influence you, i have undertaken some tests for you to judge yourselves.

(still being processed by youtube, so waiting for video quality to improve)

What do you all think, you decide?

Based on the update log, they did not improve this at all.Only Camera improvent it's  image processing now from 7 seconds change to 4 seconds

[Gilgameshuk]

I agree, image processing for me is around 1 second

[Gilgameshuk]

OK. I have found out the stability issues affect even 1080p, but only when HDR is on!

WHen HDR is off, all is OK.

@GilgameshUK

What setting are you useing? HongKong Fw and China Fw all are around 4 second after update,sometime about 1/20 chance to have 1 second.

[Gilgameshuk]

Just general settins that one would normally use

Again you decide on what you feel is the best, I will just provide testing links I conducted earlier today.

HOPE THAT GIVES YOU ALL A BIT MORE INSIGHT!

Now judging by my tests we have a new spanner in the works. 

Not only do we have a problem with stability in 4k but there is an issue in 1080p.also.

If I enable HDR in 1080p then the video is LESS stable than 1080p with HDR OFF. 

So to sum up work needs to be undertaken on 1080p HDR stabilisation. 

All is fine on regular 1080p

That'll be you on the mail trail again, to Sony Mobile then...

[Gilgameshuk]

Buwahaha nah

Better just to test and leave here.
