Hi there. I'm having some problems with my a6500 camera. I use recall 1 & 2 to shoot video - 1 for 4k and 2 for slow mo. I've used the camera for about half year without any problems, but one time, when I turned on the camera, P (priority) mode appeared on recall 1 & 2. I won't let me choose my exposure settings manually and I can't shoot any video with the automatic P mode. I tried resetting the camera to it's factory settings, but the problem is still there. I've googled every possible option and can't find the answer, how to turn off the P in recall modes. If there is anybody who would know, how I can fix this, I would be very thankful! I have a very important shoot coming in 2 days and I have to get this thing fixed. I added some photos, so you can see, what's the problem. Many thanx!

I have had the A7Rii since the start of August and it has been really fantastic... but in the last 3-4 days it has started to malfunction when using continuous shooting. This happened first after about 1 hour of following a Eurasian Pygmy Owl the other day, the camera stopped in the middle of a 5 frame burst and said "camera error, please power the camera off and on again". I did so and the camera worked again for 20 minutes before the problem repeated... and this time power cycling did not help, game over for the day. A few hours later it was functioning again. Today saw a repeat of the situation, but this time it happened immediately when I tried to shoot continuously (it was fine before and after when shooting single frames) On both occasions the temperature was below zero, the first time it was -3C, the second time -8C. So... I am wondering if my camera is broken... or if it is just too cold for it. Has anyone else used the A7Rii with continuous shooting in sub-zero temperatures for any length of time? Andy
