Sony has updated the firmware for the Cyber-shot DSC-R1 in specific serial number ranges (found on the bottom of the camera) to correct a problem of small irregular dot (or dots) of color or brightness in a recorded image. This symptom results from an incorrect image processing firmware setting, which is corrected in this update. Only the cameras within the serial number ranges will benefit from this update.
Here are the serial number ranges for U.S. cameras:
3,500,001 through 3,501,390
3,501,531 through 3,501,650
3,501,791 through 3,501,840
And in Canada...
4,400,001 through 4,400,700
