Sony cybrshot DSC-HX5V needs firmware update have only japanese language needs english language too

Pretty sure you should be able to put in some new firmware, but I can't find any hint. Not in the manual, not with Sony.
Perhaps you should register the camera, and contact Sony with the question how to change the firmware so you have multi language. Just tell them you got the camera as a present from your friends (associate or what ever) from Japan but you can't work with the language.

provide us detail about your make and model so that we can help you ......

Press the MENU button to bring up the main menu. Select the toolbox icon, then select the toolbox-1 icon. Select the "A" icon, then select the desired language.

You can download the English-language manual and more from the manufacturer's web site at

iwant to change language janies to english. but there is no option for other language

Sony cameras in Japan only have Japanese now it seems. To get English you need to buy an international model for an extra price.

Hi,

Changing language settings on digital cameras sometimes can be confusing. We will have to make use of the menu symbols so that we can change the language from Japanese to English. The picture below shows us the navigation buttons that we will use in this process.



1. Press the MENU button
2. Choose .
3. Choose 4. Choose 5. Choose English.


I hope this works for you. Kindly reply for further assistance. Good Luck!


Thanks for using Fixya!

I bought a camera in Japan (Sony Cybershot DSC-WX1) and now it seems that i can't change the language from japanese to english. If i select (can't read it but with the help of the english digital guide i think i have the right menu)change language, there seems to be only one language available. -japanese- How do I solve this?

Researched this extensively. you cannot change the camera to english. sony camera's bought in japan (or from the internet from japanese suppliers are not multi language. they supply a japanese version and an international version. the japanese version is cheaper (nationalistic thing). there is no firmware either to upgrade it. best thing to do is download the manual and become familiar with it.

I also have a Japanese one, which only has that language installed. Will Rahen Zafar's fix work on Cybeer-shot DSC-RX100?
