Hello, new to the forum, I come to you in a Time of Darkness: I recently bought an extremely cheap used A7R, that has been working perfectly fine for a month. I used it yesterday for a couple of timelapses (using à third party plugin battery thing), no problem. But this morning aouch almost all my pics have terrible bugs... If I use a shutter speed under around 1/30, the lower third of the image is very over exposed, regardless of the settings. (https://flic.kr/p/EQq1fh ) This phenomenon gets worse as I rise the camera, and better/disappears when I shoot from up above. When I use a slow shutter speed, 1sec or more, the whole picture is wierdly messed up ( ).... I'm kind of desperate... Tried with différent Lenses, reseting.... First I thought the shutter was broken, but with the wierd colours on the long exposures... No clue. Plus it was working perfectly yesterday... Has it happen to anyone here? Anyone has an Idea? Will it cost thousands to fix? Should I just pick up another hobby like fishing?
