Sony is aware of the All File modification that was done by some F5 owners to enable 4K XAVC recording in the camera head. As a matter of policy Sony cannot approve any modifications that are not part of an official firmware release. All firmware updates from Sony come with quality assurances that guarantee high quality performance. Furthermore, unauthorized modifications to the product are not covered by, and may void, Sony 's product warranty.

-Basically:
We are aware of what happenned
We will not take legal or practical action against it, so do it if you want at the risk of losing your warranty.
Identical to Canon's response to Magiclantern: ignore it and state that it "might" void the warranty of they wanted to.
