A7R V Supplement - Correction!

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 04:32:00 GMT

Hi again.  Several people let me know that I had neglected to include a new feature from the firmware update.  I have now corrected that error, and have added a Section 1.2.15 to the end explaining the new touchscreens.  (The hyperlinks now all work, too. :-) ) Same download link as before:  <a href="https://friedmanarchives.com/~download/r7a/A7R_V_Supplement_Firmware_v4.0.pdf" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">https://friedmanarchives.com/~download/r7a/A7R_V_Supplement_Firmware_v4.0.pdf</a> Enjoy! Sincerely, Gary

Sony A7R V Firmware Update - Supplement to your book...

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 02:30:00 GMT

Hi, all. Gary Friedman here, author of the book you purchased on the Sony A7R V.  As you know, Sony has recently updated the firmware to the camera to version 4.0, adding a lot of new features in the process.   As you may also know, it's my usual practice to offer free supplements to cover the new features, and once again I've made one for the A7R V.  You can download the supplement FOR FREE via the link below: https://friedmanarchives.com/~download/r7a/A7R_V_Supplement_Firmware_v4.0.pdf  (If the link isn't hyperlinked in your email reader, just copy and paste the link into your browser.  If it's split across two lines, piece them together first.  I can't always control how my emails appear, and I'm not a fan of link shorteners in emails.) Like the book?  Like my practice of offering free supplements?  Then please help spread the word about my ebooks online!  Word-of-mouth from extremely satisfied customers is our only means of advertising. Thanks for your time, for your patronage, and enjoy the free update! Sincerely, Gary www.FriedmanArchives.com

[The Friedman Archives Blog] - A Trick for Better B&W Photography

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 02:41:00 GMT

<img alt="" height="167" src="https://friedmanarchives.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/show_img/test/20220926194100/2fd3991f203277585d3c1b63ad012d33_RX403763-LR6-2.jpg" style="float:right" width="251" /> Hi there!  Gary Friedman here, announcing not one but TWO blog posts this month. The first talks about a great trick for getting high-impact B&W shots that the great photographers never had.  You can read it here: <https://friedmanarchives.blogspot.com/2022/09/a-trick-for-better-b-photography.html>  (Copy and paste the URL if clicking on it doesn’t work.) The second is another edition of “Geeking with Gary”, where I talk about the year I spent volunteering to teach at MIT’s STEM program on steroids.  (Also my thoughts about Sony’s new image authentication system which pretty much steals my patent from the 1990’s.)  Read it here: <https://friedmanarchives.blogspot.com/2022/08/geeking-with-gary.html> And of course many other topics appear in each, because Of Course They Do. :-)   One of them talks about living in a van down by the river (which we’ll be doing for the next month or so).  Also my next Zoom talk and a few other things of note. Enjoy! Sincerely, Gary
