Link is at the very bottom. U.S. only. Check your firmware update for your country.
The update for the Sony a99V adds Dual AF support for 11 more lenses being the SAL24F20Z, SAL85F14Z, SAL135F18Z, SAL70300G, SAL70200G, SAL35F14G, SAL1635Z, SAL100M28, SAL50M28, SAL85F28, and SAL300F28. Dual AF (Autofocus) was announced with the a99 camera. The 19-point AF system with 11 cross sensors is complemented by a multi-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor with 102 AF points that overlays the image sensor. Taking advantage of Translucent Mirror Technology™ that simultaneously directs light to the image sensor and AF sensor at all times.
The update for the a99V also adds automatic compensation support for 6 lenses being the SAL100M28, SAL50M28, SAL85F28, SAL18200, SAL20F28, and SAL28F28
Sony a77V/a65V/a57/a37 also receive automatic compensation support for the same 6 lenses being the SAL100M28, SAL50M28, SAL85F28, SAL18200, SAL20F28, and SAL28F28.
Fast Hybrid AF lens support for Sony’s NEX-5R/6 cameras has expanded to include these (6) E-mount lenses: SEL1018, SEL35F18, SELP18200, SEL30M35, SEL50F18, and SEL18200LE.
The NEX-5N firmware update also updates its Exposure Bracketing range and updates its RAW format version.
New E-mount lens firmware is also available that enables Fast Hybrid AF support for the NEX-5R/6 cameras. This is for the SEL30M35 and SEL50F18 lens models. There is also a firmware update available for the SEL18200LE lens. The lens must be mailed to Sony for installation. Please see our esupport site for more details.
Last but not least, we’ve got updates for our NEX-F3/5N/7 cameras that add auto compensation for use with the SELP1650 lens.
Well, they allow up a 3stop bracket now... they just don't allow you to set the bracketing order. (unless that's somewhere else on the menu)
It's fast as hell. I did some HDR tests. The bracketing order was 0, -2, +2.
What I want is -2, 0, +2 It has to do with flash timing, so that the flash goes off in the -2 frame. That means that 2 of the frames are fairly normal exposures, and the last one is lighter:
frame 1: normal flash, -2 ambient (subject exposure) (controlled background highlights) 1/250
frame 2: no flash, normal ambient 1/60
frame 3: no flash, +2 ambient (shadow control) 1/15
I can do that on my Canon, but so far not on the NEX 7

I see. I'll do the update when I get home and see what I can do on my A99.

I've been reading post from other user that other improvements have been made or noticed.
One of them is in the high ISO. Another one is the Minolta lenses too are able to use the af-d feature.
