Battery Saving update for Sony NEX-5

  For Firmware version 1 to 3, NEX-5's power consumption is high even when the switch is off. The result, the camera will be out of battery in a few days even if the power switch has been turned off.
  Sony has release an update for this purpose. The update has to be done through a computer. This Japanese site has the executable file and instructions for update.
  To confirm the version of NEX-5, go to [Menu] - [Setup] - [Version]. If it is Ver 3 or older, one needs this update.
  First install the application, a Windows application, start it. Then change the camera to USB storage mode, leaving the rest for the application to process.
