Sony Issues/Questions with the A7II


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I've had my A7II for about a month, and have some questions i'd like to know if others have experienced...

1. Does the backside of your grib also "wear" a bit?. The edge to the left of my "rec" button seem to have become "blank", has anyone experienced this, and is it just to be expected?

 

2. My rubber hood around my viewfinder is coming loose in both sides, anyone experienced this?

 

3. I was shooting an event with my Yongnuo 560 III attached, and sometimes experienced that it didn't fire, it helped when I wiggled it a bit. Would that be my flash or my camera failing?

 

Would greatly appreciate if you would share your experiences with these issues :)

Texture pattern on rubber always wears

down. Flash connections for large flash

unit directly on-camera always sketchy.

I have a used A7M2 and there's no grief

about the rubber on the eyepiece. But I

can guess by the way it protrudes that

it wouldn't favor being jam-packed into,

and out of, a tight space way too often.

2. Mine became a bit loose in the first weeks but then no more after that and so far it did not fall off. Eventually Sony will sell replacements (if they don't already)

 

3. Problem of contacts between flash unit and body, depends on what you are doing (same for 1) ... like Golem said.

I experienced the same problem with the rubber hood around the viewfinder.  As Golem pointed out, it was a result of hurriedly pulling the camera out of the bag that it was in.  I put the tiniest bit of Krazy Glue on the rubber piece and affixed it to the viewfinder.  Hasn't been an issue since.  Not too much though because that mistake can be disastrous.

    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
    • Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
