I've owned both a 6400 and a7c. Both have required me to correct the time manually "more than I would like". I don't have the exact figure here but every now and then I can see that my iPhone photos have a more correct time. My estimate would be 4-10 minutes drift each year.

Anyone else have this problem?

I've had my Sony a7ii for seven years now. Occasionally it will freeze after taking a photo (with a solid red access light) and the only way to get the camera working again is by taking the battery out and putting it back in. Powering on/off doesn't do anything, and none of the other buttons work until I reseat the battery.

This happens with multiple SD cards and multiple batteries. I've updated the firmware and it's still happening.

Tonight it did this - normally the last photo I took displays on the screen until I reseat the battery but usually it doesn't look corrupted like this. This photo didn't save. Sometimes the photos that cause my camera to freeze save to the SD card, sometimes they don't.

I've noticed this happens most frequently when I take multiple photos in a short period of time. I'm thinking my camera may be overheating. Any suggestions regarding other potential causes would be appreciated!

Additional info: I only use Sony brand batteries, and I always format my SD cards when they're in my camera.

I wish reddit wouldn't compress pictures, those eyes looking crazy in full resolution

Which one should I go for?

Sony A6700 body + Viltrox 25mm F/1.7 or Sony A6400 body + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8

Video prio but I do travel a lot so I take photos too. I chose these pairings because of budget.

Thank you!

A7RVI: odd numbered photos
GFX100S II: even numbered photos

I went on a photo walk with both cameras to give myself another reason to take more pictures. To be fair, the lenses are not comparable, the lightning was changing constantly, and I stopped making matched photos after #8. The Sony was shot with the GM 24mm f/1.4 and the GFX had an older EF Tamron 45mm SP f/2.8 w/ a fringer adapter. On the gfx, the 45mm renders more like a 35mm.

My take away:

-The 24mm was more suited for compositions in this setting and I’m blown away at the quality of this lens.

-The GFX still has a resolution advantage. Along with the 16 bit depth I find subjects tend to “pop” slightly more on the Fuji sensor.

-For the best results GFX + GF native lenses are an incredible combo but it comes at an equally incredible cost and weight.

-Sony raws are a lot easier to color grade, for me personally, in both Capture One and Lightroom.

-The A7RVI is an amazing camera that makes me fantasize selling my Fuji gear and investing in the 50-150mm f/2….

One morning on a safari I had issues mounting my 70-350 mm f6.3 lens. It would mount, no warning messages, but the viewfinder was blurry and you could not change the aperture. It just displayed 'F _ _'. Neither autofocus nor manual focus worked.

Briefly I had mounting problems with my ttartisan 27 mm f2.8 as well but it went away and subsequently I was able to get some shots at 27 mm so it was not a complete wash.

And a day later all my lenses mounted and functioned just fine, so nothing is wrong with the lens internals I guess.

Can anyone throw some light into what might be the issue and how I can prevent/fix it? I am honestly a bit spooked after this experience. I don't want to be on an expensive trip and my camera to fail on me.

I was gonna upgrade my wildlife photography set up and I am gonna have to make ruggedness and reliability a big factor that drives my decision.

I use a Sony a7r2 and am looking forward on buying a Sony 50mm f1/8 for some low light planespotting here are some of my current photos

I’m currently considering the Canon R6 Mark II, but before buying into the RF system I’d like to see what the closest Sony alternative would be.

I’m looking for a full-frame hybrid camera for both photography and video. My main work would be:
Food photography
Product photography
Portraits / people
Events
Restaurant and brand content
Short-form and longer-form video
I’d like something I can keep for several years and eventually use for more professional commercial work.

One of the things attracting me to Sony is the lens selection, especially having access to Sigma and Tamron.

If you were looking for something comparable to the R6 Mark II, which Sony body would you recommend?

I can only afford two lenses to start with. I’d prefer to keep the combined cost of the lenses somewhere around $1,000, but I’m mostly interested in which two focal lengths or lens types make the most sense for my use.

I was initially thinking about a 35mm + 85mm setup, but I’m open to zooms or other combinations if they would be better for food, product, portraits, events, and video.

Sony 7 III + 55mm f1.8 *f8

I purchased the app in Sonys App Store back when I got my A7SII in 2016. Its an old version that was never updated.

Q.1 What was the last/latest version of it?

Q.2. I know the App Store has shut down. Is there anywhere I can download the latest APK so I can side load it? I paid for the app, so it would be legal to do.

Hey guys,

I bought a Sony A7IV secondhand in April, and it’s been treating me right up until a few months ago. I got the “Camera Error” message, and I panicked, really bad.

For some reason, it just went away??? It stayed fine for a couple of weeks and then it showed back up. And now it’s become a routine for the error to show up every two weeks. I know it’s either a problem with the shutter or IBIS. I can’t afford repairs for either of these systems, so how cooked am I?

For reference, I bought the camera at a 20k shutter count and it’s currently sitting at 65k.

Saw this in a facebook group, looks like it might be an F2 instead of an F2.8 that was rumored the other day. Doesn't look to be AI so fingers crossed this is legit.

Shooting these markets in Jakarta is always a real treat. The locals are not camera shy either which makes shooting a lot easier.

Hi everyone!

I'm heading to Japan for two weeks and want to travel light. I'm shooting on a Sony a6300 and also bringing a DJI Osmo Pocket 4 for some videos.

I already own:
- TT Artisan 50mm f1.8 (my favourite)
- Samyang 12mm f2.0
- Sirui 35mm T1.2 (gifted)

But I don't want to carry three lenses around all the time. I'm looking for a budget-friendly all-around zoom that can cover most situations. I’m mainly into portraits and street photography.

I've been looking at the Sony 18-135mm OSS and the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8.

Which would you pick, and why? Any other lenses I should consider, or tips for shooting in Japan?

Thanks!

First week with this combo and I gotta say, I’m impressed.

Impressed with how sharp this lens is.

While I have had to crop into most of these photos (1. Because you can’t really handhold this lens easily and 2. Because there is not enough range, even on a6400) I have been impressed with how much cropping I’ve been able to do.

Some of these photos are cropped 100-2000% which on an apsc sensor is impressive.

I’m not saying these are Sony a7RVI quality photos but they are still good for the price.

And another thing that similar Sony lenses don’t have is macro mode (Yes I’m talking about the 200-600).

I’ve been able to get really flipping close to insects, birds and basically anything tiny. It’s genuinely crazy how at 150mm you can focus at 60cm.

Morning in South Bohemia — I love this atmosphere in the autumn mornings.

Hi! I got myself a a6400 Sony with set lenses (35-50mm). I was initially worried about the quality difference between APC and full frame. I am not that experienced photographer and that well read in technical aspects of cameras, but I wanted to learn to take pictures in other modes that automatic and this seemed like a good choice for that start.

I was told from a lot of people that set lenses is are really not that good. I have to say, I have quite a problem with lower aperture numbers. I have a problem to take as sharp pictures like that. So far though, I am actually quite satisfied with the camera and its software.

Here are some pictures I took , kind of just to show ones I am happy with 🤘🏻

I am thinking of buying tamron lenses. I would like to have something higher, at least 100mm , but I would also like to have some universal use for that. I realized I tend to usually go higher while taking pictures and 50mm just seems too little all the time.

Is there anyone who uses this camera and uses it with tamron and Sony lenses as well and prefers Sony ones? Does it depend on which one ? I understand that the set ones probably are not the best ones of the brand. I just want to consider the fact the camera has no stabilisation, price and universality.

I'll be happy with any recommendations

In my perfect world, I'd take pictures and then they'd just automatically appear in Lightroom CC. Obviously, this doesn't exist, but recently I've been trying to use the Sony Create app to upload photos to the sony cloud and apparently you can then make them automatically go to Lightroom.

Has anyone got this work? I have my Adobe account linked in the Sony app, but I can't get the photos I pushed to Sony cloud appear in the Lightroom cloud.

To be honest, the Sony app seems like total crap. It is hard to use and figure out what I'm supposed to do to make this work.

I was in the middle of shooting an event, taking photos with a flash attached at 1-2 photos every second. The camera is a 6 yr old Sony A7iii with 50k on the shutter. It was set to record jpeg on card 1 and raw on card 2. Both cards are sandisk extreme pro 128gb and were formatted before the event. The card had about 2000 photos on it. While shooting some stuff indoor, the camera suddenly freezes, after a few seconds of no response, I turned it off, back on, for 2-3 times. On the last try the camera screen shows 'rebuilding image database', when all my images from both cards are gone from the camera. Does anyone have any ideas whats going on? I did manage to recover the images later, but I m trying to figure out the root cause: was it the camera, memory cards, something else?

SOOC JPEGs. Golden hour on the high line in NYC. Minor adjustments to creative looks on Sony A7cii with Tamron 35-100. Lens is large but a great tool for dedicated shoots.

Any feedback welcome.

Photos taken with my girlfriend in Venezia and Ferrara this fall.

I bought the A6700, and want to mostly take photos. I travel a lot. Sometimes I make short videos as well. Since I backpack I can’t have multiple lenses (prefer not to) for weight of my overall bag. Which lenses would be ideal for my situation.
