A7Rii Battery Grip Draining Power

Hi all,

 

Have noticed in my last two or three outings that using the A7Rii with the battery grip appears to drain the 1st battery even faster than when using the camera without the battery grip. Last night, I returned from shooting and took a single battery out of the grip to charge, leaving the 2nd battery in. The camera was switched off with the battery grip attached (also switched off), and I have just turned it on 24 hours later to find that the battery that was at 100% is now at 85%.

 

Has anyone else found this occurring? Any solutions out there that I am missing? 

 

Many thanks,

Alex

It`s the same problem which I described in the topic "Battery drain without using the camera (A7mII)".

Without battery grip it`s the same. One week and the battery stays with 8_12%.

Sony doesn`t know that OFF means OFF  or they are not able to write Linux.

The only way to solve this problem is to get an firmware update.

Anybody has got an idea to convince Sony instead of writing stupid apps to develop a better firmware???!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      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.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      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
