South-Indian (Carnatic) classical music. That's when my camera gets used the most.

Battery Expanded Inside Sony A7R
Thad E Ginathom replied to Honza Mali's topic in General Discussions about Sony Alpha
The hold may not be as comfortable as the cabin, but I'm told it is heated. Our baggage is not subjected to -40C or worse of the outside sky. -
WHY IS MY FACE MIRRORED ON A6400?
Thad E Ginathom replied to Hayatt's topic in Sony Alpha Video Discussion
Quite. That would be an ordinary camera taking ordinary pictures. You might notice that other pictures do not have stuff reversed right to left. What I can't understand is why selfie (phone rear) cameras take mirror images. Whoever started that? it is a nonsense! -
Sony A7 iii - Strange artifacts on photo
Thad E Ginathom replied to DaBone's topic in Sony Alpha Full Frame Cameras
I'm not able to understand the fox problem (lovely pic!) but with your son's hair, it looks as if someone has drawn hair-coloured lines on his scalp, underneath the hair. Very weird. Sorry, I haven't a clue either. -

That final photon. The one that is one too many. It's what gets us all, in the end, isn't it?

Help me it’s taking horrible photos
Thad E Ginathom replied to BobbyGibson96's topic in Nature & Wildlife
No clue what that means, so no idea what you did. If you mean all blurred, then maybe you just changed the shutter speed. Own up. Maybe she knows the camera well enough to just fix whatever you did. -

As you have compared to another camera which does not misbehave, it looks like a fault. I think you should take it up with the supplier. Vague hopes that something might put it right in the future might remain just that.

Focus issues on A7iii + Tamron 28-75 f2.8
Thad E Ginathom replied to HakonBerg's topic in Sony Alpha Full Frame Cameras
Possibly... eye-autofocus, for starters, if your subject is not always in the same place. I don't know. So far, I have only tried moonshots a couple of times, and have not yet even come close to the right exposure, let alone focus. I mostly photograph South-indian classical musicians. There will be three or four people on a stage. For the most part, the focus system works for me. There are times when it doesn't, and I have to take a different approach. I have an a6500. The touch screen, for those choose-a-spot times is sometimes great and sometimes... not. And I have to watch out -
Focus issues on A7iii + Tamron 28-75 f2.8
Thad E Ginathom replied to HakonBerg's topic in Sony Alpha Full Frame Cameras
I think it does... but if you wanted to use that sort of focus/recompose technique you'd have to use AF-S, or else it would do focus/recompose/refocus. There are vast numbers of videos, articles, etc, on Sony focus, all of which will tell you how wonderful it is, which might annoy you, but which will have the hints how to get the best out of their focus system. Every generation of which is always the best, the fastest, the most powerful, and, of course, so much better than the previous generation, which was also all those things. Frankly though, although I can mock the marketing (I'm wait -

This is what you are supposed to be doing while that battery is charging! 🤣 And... no doubt it differs in different countries, but there may be regulations that prohibit shipping charged lithium batteries. It's great when you already have a device that uses the same battery: you can have it charged an ready and use the new camera straight out of the box.

Forum for older Sony Alpha cameras
Thad E Ginathom replied to rthomaslyons's topic in About the Sony Alpha Forum
But thankfully, Microsoft did not make your camera. You'd need to point to Sony doing that to cameras: that would be relevant. Although, on the whole I do sympathise with a policy of not doing unnecessary firmware updates just because they are there, but only if there is actually relevant fix or desired functionality in them there release notes -

Oh dear, that sounds bad. Each one may have added harm rather than good. A professional might be able to help. Asking on the internet... no. -
Welcome and good luck :) You seem settled to it being a hardware problem and probably permanent. Good luck too, with the part only costing $50! But I don't have the experience. Youtube probably has the disassembly/reassembly covered. (If it's hunchtime, I'd agree about the moisture. I've heard of over-wet computer-monitor cleaning causing this kind of failure. On the other hand... any chance the ribbon cable simply came loose?)
