How to change the language from Japanese to English?

I got this camera from a friend from Japan, and I can't read anything on the display because its in Japanese and I can't find the menu to change it, maybe there isn't one, I don't know. Please help =] Is a firmware (operation system of the camera) upgrade possible? Thanks in advance!

SOURCE: Camera Language Setting Help?

HI! FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, FROM OTHER OWNERS, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DUE WITH A FIRMWARE CHANGE. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE SONY WEBSITE TO LOCATE THE FIRMWARE FOR YOUR CAMERA. ALSO IT SEEMED TO ME THEY WERE LISTING THIS CAMERA AS DISCONTINUED? NOT SURE ON THIS BUT FOUND IT ON ONE FORUM SITE I CHECKED. READING NUMEROUS POSTS SUGGESTED THAT CHANGES WERE POSSIBLE THROUGH FIRMWARE. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU START IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP JUST REPLY TO:

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

Dsc-tx9 japanese language only

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.

How to change language for HDR CX560V Japan from basic Japan to English

I have compared its instruction manual in English and Japanese versions and found that the language setting part is absent in Japanese version. So that the japanese version will support only japanese.
I have asked the seller in Bic Camera shop (in Japan) and he tried to change the language in the menu, but unfortunately he could't find and change it.

Honda crossroad RT2 user manual

HONDA INTERNAVI CAR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
I am in srilankan. I have bought a 2010 Honda Cr z imported from Japan. The car has an imporessive Honda Internavi Car Navigation System which intergrates Japanese GPS, mobile phone, reversing camera, audio, TV, DVD, CD etc on a touch screen and steering wheel control BUT all graphics and buttons are in Japanese script. Unfortunately the car didn't come with any instruction manuals. I want to know anything anyone else might know about the entire system, in English language please.

The audio system seems to rip CDS to a HDD.
The radio still receives a Japanese station
The TV picks up some local channels but only audio
The GPS still reads Japanese cities but is active, as if we are driving in Japan!

Plesae contact me if you might be able to help with providing English language instructions manuals, or information about how software might be updated to srilanka GPS and English instructions.

Cheers experts!

LANGUAGE SETTING JAPANESE TO ENGLISH

Hello analyn
There may be a simple fix to this problem.
Find a friend that has a cybershot of the same model as your own. In their camera, open the menu and navigate to the language setting. While you do this count how many times you press the button. Example:
Menu
-camera settings 1
-program 2
-personal settings 3 press ok

personal settings
-storage type 1
-date and time 2
-language 3 press ok

language
-spanish 1
-english 2 press ok
-japanese




Although the language is different, the number of spaces should be the same, so even though you can't read it to change the language, you should be able to count it out. Or if you are lucky you may have a Japanese friend who can read it.





Hope this helps
