A Sony camera in the HX series of the Cyber-shot line.

Can I change the language of my camera from Japanese to English?

Its basically that. I have this Sony Cyber-Shot from Japan. The whole system is in Japanese. I cant understand anything. Can I 'translate' it? By firmware or any way? How? Thanks in advanced!

Install GUI version. After installed and camera is connected to USB go to tweaks and you can allow all languages on Japanese version Cameras.

This is EXACTLY to correct answer! Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to this and post this answer.

My wife bought this $750 camera in Tokyo and assumed we would be able to switch it to English when she got home. I could not find the English language setting in the menu. She did a search of Japanese websites and they all stated this was a Japanese only version of this camera; it was not the international version. She was very sad to read this.

This application worked perfectly! First click the tweak tab, second, click the Disable Protection check box at the bottom, third click Enable All Languages check box. Done.

Changing to other languages is now enabled in the camera menu. In the camera you still need to be able to read enough Japanese to find the change language to English setting.

Very useful, used on my Sony WX350, japanese language only. Small comment: charge the battery first :-). In order to enable all languages, first has to be enabled 5th box (software unlock, I think).

The answer posted by Badger on 27 July is exactly the correct answer.

Here’s how:

Language Setting

Selects the language to be used in the menu items, warnings and messages.

  1. MENU   (Settings)   (Main Settings)  [Language Setting]  desired mode
  2. http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSC...
  3. UPDATE 6/29//18

The above failing, talk to Sony directly here on chat:

Almost! I can go until 'Main Settings' by following the little pictures icons. From there, I have no idea, since everything is in Japanese writing (kanji). Can you be a little bit more specific? Thank you so much!

I discovered with a friend that the only avaliable language is Japanese. Can I change the Firmware? The OS?

Here's the user manual:

From that you should be able to work out how to navigate blind to the language setting.

Persistent rumor has it that cameras intended for the domestic market won't have English as an option.

Did you buy this camera in Japan, or online from Japan? If you did, unfortunately there’s no good chance of changing the settings to English. I doubt they would have different settings for the same company though.

Anyway, you can just check out the Sony community for some possible solutions.

We would all love to hear what you know about this. Please report back.

Had the same problem some years ago. There is no switch in the menu to change the language to another than Japanese. The reason that there is no way to change the language is the software of those cameras which are build to be sold in Japan only. You need to update the software to an international release. There are programs avalable to do that. Can't recall the name but it was easy to find and fix it. Greetings from Germany, Jens

Many thanks for the suggestion, but I solved it myself with an Intermediate Cam/iPhone Translator/Photoshop for Print personal instruction manual. That's fine, the camera is nice, and I saved €1,000 by buying it on eBay, even though I didn't know about the Japanese language only model. I think initializing the software update could be dangerous, so I'll settle for the Japanese-forever.... Best regards
