A6300 slow / delay issue

Hi everyone!

 

I've had the A6300 now since September, switching from Canon 70D. Something I have really experienced is how slow it is. Starting up takes several seconds and switching from my custom modes or to other modes, like manual to shutter priority seems quite slow. I've noticed it's slower after filming a lot so I guess that has to do with the buffer but it's still surprisingly slow, even when I haven't filmed and switching.

 

Is this just how it is, a bit slower because of all Sony stuffed in it or how are your experiences? Also, sometimes with like focusing or waking up from sleep mode if I haven't used it for more than 10 seconds seem a bit slow too. It's like the "brain" can't keep up.

 

Thanks for all help and advice!

I have the very same problem.

My (very new, 3 weeks old) Sony a6300 takes 3-4 seconds to turn on and about 1.5 seconds to turn off! 

When the camera was in EVF mode when shut down (I cancelled the EVF/LCD auto-switching), turning it on again starts the LCD monitor, and after some time switches back to the EVF...

I have firmware version 1.10

 

3-4 seconds startup time is completely unacceptable! Sony must do something about it because many shots are going to get lost.

I found the a6300 to be slow as well. All the previous comments are problems I have had. Also, I have problems with the lcd screen. When I flip it out it flashes the screen the goes black. Sometimes it works properly but during a photo shoot it is unreliable. 

I also find the processing slow after taking a photo. If I am in direct sunlight it’ll over heat and start to malfunction. Then sometimes since i Shoot jpeg + raw if it’s in that state of malfunction it’ll only save jpeg photos.

my firmware is up to date too.

About once a month shutting down will take longer because the camera will take a black image to map hot pixels on the sensor. You'll know by hearing the shutter sound after a while when turning the camera off. This is completely normal.

      Centre Focus on A7R3

      By Pieter · Posted

      I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html

      Custom white balance for studio flash.

      By vinniemac · Posted

      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

      Sony Alpha 7 III - What type of filter? What do you recomme

      By tadwil · Posted

      I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
