I just received my EX1R and I was going through the menus and version up is not listed. I know there are no firmware updates yet, but was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
 
I don't know if it's the case with the Sonys, but some cameras don't display the menu option if no new firmware file is found on the memory card.
 
I contacted Sony earlier and one of their tech's told me that the only way to upgrade the firmware on the ex1r is to send the camera in. After arguing that that was not supposed to be the case with the "r" model, he asked another tech and said what I said was true, however, he would have to get back to me on that. I hoping that it's just what you said and it will show up when I have the update.
 
Sony got back in touch with me and I found out that "version up" only appears on the menu with an SxS card inserted. I'm just glad I don't have to send the Camera back. Sony was really cool about it and kept me in the loop while they were figuring everything out.
 
so how exactly will we be able to update the firmware version? will we have to download the firmware to the sxs and then insert and select version up?
