Make sure you downloaded the A7iii firmware and not the A7Riii firmware. I’ve seen people try that a few times only to have it fail.

Did you run the program outside the folder first? Then run the program inside the folder?

Double checked the correct download, ran it outside, inside and even dragged to my desktop to run it from there.

I know others have had issues with cables that are charging cables only apparently, they don't work for data. Did you try maybe re-downloading the update from the Sony site? Mine went thru right away using a third party cable I have on my desk. Also make sure no memory card or lens attached.

Here's a link providing troubleshooting details:
https://www.sony.com …lce-7m3/articles/00010619 (external link)

MAC update -
Next, here's the update instructions - https://www.sony.com …ce-7m3/downloads/00015993 (external link). Note, Firmware version 2 and 3 I ran into problems using the UpdateTool. I opened the Resources folder selecting SystemUpdateTool following the prompts. The link describes the same procedure too.

Good luck!

Thanks to all. I figured it out. MacBook was blocking Sony. Fixed and updated.

I was out shooting the sunset but when I went to expose for the sunset I noticed the evf stopped darkening after 1/2500. Yes, I have the Live View set to On. I took it up to 1/8000 to see if it'd darken on the evf but it was no difference from 1/2500. Is this natural or am I missing a setting?

Is this using native or adapted lenses? I noticed that issue before when using my MC-11 with adapter lenses.

Then that would be your problem. I don't have that issue with native lenses and only adapted.
