Sony has released the first firmware update for the Sony a7 III—version 1. 01—and it was specifically released to solve a "blinking pixel" issue that showed up when recording video footage while using certain settings.
The flickering pixels would appear along the base of footage "during XAVC S 4K (PAL 25p) recording (depending on the combination of camera settings). " Additionally, the update resolves a problem that could occasionally make the rear touch screen stop working, and Sony says the camera’s system should run more smoothly with the new firmware as well.
