Hi, I'm flummoxed and am looking for an answer. I've recently been attempting to shoot some studio self portraits and am using an A3000 with either the 18-55 or 55-300 lenses. I've got it tied to a single 400ws monolite studio strobe and have tried connecting with both a wired and wireless trip system. I'm producing enough light to have my settings at 1/80 and f22 in the Manual mode. In all cases I've got the camera on a tripod and using the 10 second self timer to shoot the images. My image settings are Fine/RAW and I've tried every AF mode setting available. All of my pictures are coming out extremely soft, no matter what I try. I even tried to shoot something else holding the camera and not using the timer; they were soft too. The only sharp photos I can get is with the onboard flash - which is not giving me the look I desire - or no flash; both in one of the Auto modes (haven't tried this in Manual mode). Can anyone give me any insight as to what I'm doing wrong or if there's an inherent problem using off camera flash with the A3000? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used it with flash and if so, whether the results were as desired. Thank you. Marc -
Hello everyone. I own a A3000 I bought new around one year ago. I must say, I have been very satisfied with its battery life, which has been very solid... until now. My current problem is that the battery doesn't charge up if I don't continuously check whether the orange light is glowing; often times, such light turns off after a few minutes, or it starts flashing, and the battery stops charging. I just left the camera on for an all-nighter only to find it this morning at 39%. This never happened until now, and I never replaced the battery nor the cable. I checked the battery and it looks fine: no dirt or fingerprints (as I never remove it from the camera). It also doesn't seem like a temperature issue, as the camera is charging in my house, where there are 15 degrees, and away from the sun. The only thing I can think of, different from what I usually did upon charging the camera, is that it is plugged with my new 70-210mm lens on it. I can hardly think of a reason why this would influence the process, though. I'm quite distressed now, as I am leaving in two weeks for a trip in Africa, and if the battery abandons me there I might as well hang myself. Has anyone experienced the same issue? I read around the internet it is quite common, but no solution I found seems to work for me. Thank you sincerely, Ted
