Important NOTICE! For all the A77 users with Firmware 1.02:
JUST IN CASE IF your a77 is dead, you just need to
(1) Turn it off, then press the MENU + MOVIE + Playback buttons for ten seconds.
(2) Release it and wait for 30 seconds, after that turn it on. Continue to press the three buttons for 3 seconds.
If the ALPHA LOGO APPEARED Then the problem is solved.

This trick is to reset the firmware...

It is tested and proven to revived jammed or hanged A77 with firmware 1.02...

So the LITTLE UPDATE ON latest test out on A77 FW1.03:
1. EVF to Live view changing time has improved.
2. Shutter and Aperture dial response slightly improved, but still can feel it slow.
3. Video Color banding at the end of recording has been fixed
4. 3rd Party lens (SIGMA) tested, it will not affect the camera (Jam or hang)
5. 3rd Party Flash (Nissin DI866 MK2 Pro) tested, it will not affect the camera (Jam or Hang)
6. 3rd party battery can be used (HippoPack)
7. Shutdown 5 second lag time, issue still exist, and some weird sounds from the Lens screw driven motor. **Between the 5secs period, unmount lens got hanged and jammed**
8. Burst mode buffer test: RAW-12Frame / Extra Fine-14frame (FACEPALM)
9. Off shoe flash triggered by pop up flash, no problem, can go up to 1/8000 HSS.
10. When turn on, about 1 sec lag then it will turn it to normal.
11. Electronic shutter must be switch off when using Konica Minolta lenses, otherwise color or tone uneven.
12. **I don't even know this is a hardware or firmware issue** Screw driven motor is so powerful till you can hear the sound *TICK TOCK TICK TOCK* from the lens when it focus. (Infinite to the other end...) Screw motor really screw it hard, hopefully don't screwed up my lens...

This is what i've found in the A77 with the current FW for now... Will update again once found "new" feature or improvement...

Thanks for the update Bro,

No 7 is the fatal one for me, ...in the excitement of a shoot, surely will forget to wait 5 sec after power down to change the lens.
