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 have pre-ordered my Sony A7Rii and have been wondering about memory cards. I found a Lexar Professional 1000x 128 gig 150MB/s SDXC UHS-II/U3 card for $57 USD. this seems like a good deal and it said it is backwards compatible to UHS-I devices. Anyone have any advice on if this will be compatible with the A7Rii? I looked on the Sony web site and it looks like it can take a SDXC UHS-I. Since the 4K is 100MB/s I figure this should work well. Does anyone have any preference? Should I not get a UHS-II/U3 version?
