Hello, I'm new to Sony digital cameras and was going to purchase a used a7R. Having owned both Canon and Nikon, I wanted to give Sony a try. While doing a search on Ebay, I noticed the shutter release button was on top of the camera body on some of the a7R's and on top of the hand grip on others. The difference mainly being having an extra 'C' button. Is that the newer model? It seems like the handgrip location would be the way to go. Any insights on this would be much appreciated ..read more

Hello everyone ? My Sony a7m3 just broke with no power at all and no charging. I searched a lot on the internet but nothing came out. No answer and no resolve. So because I kinda handle electronic staff, I opened it up and found one 5Amps fuse burned. Changed it of course but same result... it broke a again... I searched on the internet for schematic or datatsheet of the SY-1086 board but nothing just another second hand board for replacement. Maybe some of you had this issue or know somebody that had it and know how to fix it without changing the motherboard.   thanks a lot ..read more

New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji ?  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie  ..read more

Hello: I’m shooting XAVCS 4K, S-Log3 on my A7RV with success.  In post, I have been applying a standard Sony LUT supplied with the latest version of RESOLVE for the Mac which for my needs IS a great starting point for my grade of a clip. Because I don’t need (for now), another style of LUT, is there ANY WAY to bake the LUT’s characteristics into my Sony clips during shooting? That would save me a lot of time in Resolve, not having to add a “LUT Node” in the color area.    The option to bake in a LUT on my iPhone 15ProMax IS available when I shoot with the Black Magic camera app ..read more

I updated my Sony A9ii to the newest firmware update (3.20) today and now every time I hit the shutter (when in silent mode) to take a photo there is a very strange zapping noise, sounds like a laser. The noise is specifically coming from the left side of the camera body where the headphone/mic jack, USB terminal etc are. If I put my ear to the side it is quite prominent.  Camera was working perfectly fine yesterday before the update. Not sure what I can do or what my options are. I need my camera on silent mode for work everyday so I think I'm in trouble here.  Any help would be gre ..read more

I am actually not a "new" alpha forum" user as system indicates.  Another topic, another day. I have my camera set up on the memory settings 1, 2 and 3 for Portrait, Action and Landscape.  However if I change mode to "A" or "S" or "M" the shutter does not release.  It releases just fine on memory 1, 2 and 3 though.  Any clues ..read more

Sony A7Cii w/Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens. Sometimes when I press down to focus, I initially get the scene then the screen blanks out. I let go and try again but the screen remains blank. I have turned on/off the camera but this does not fix the issue. I make sure that the eyepiece is not blocked. This only happens once in a while ..read more
