Battery Change Changes Resolution from 1080p to 4K

[LakesCreative]

Hi 

 

I noticed that when I change a battery when filming with my A7Sii and using the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 4K Monitor via HDMI, the camera resolution changes from XAVC S 1080p to 4K. Not only that but with huge consequences to me and my client, the HDMI settings switch from Memory Card and HDMI to HDMI only. This means that when you press the record button on the camera, it doesn't record internally any more. It does say REC on the back monitor but in white and not red. Unfortunately I didn't notice the change in colour or the fact that the Monitor had switched to full frame.

 

So the event I was filming didn't actually get filmed in part, possibly costing me a client. When I returned after the shoot, I was able to recreate it as shown here - https://youtu.be/00mFIb77LKE.

 

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

I posted a picture of my other HDMI settings should anyone think that this may have a bearing on my issue.

 

Thanks

 

John

I wish it did that on my A7M2

After changing the battery, did you have to enter the date and time?

 

Can you assign those settings to one of the Memory positions? That is what I would try.
