Hello I have just bought my new a6500 and since I m shooting video in interior and low light I discovered this problem. When camera is at 4K 25fps(or 30fps) in extreme low light there is "ghosting" problem. The same problem exist if you using a spot light to light only a part of your portrait while the other elements of the scene stays dark.. It seems like a sensor or most propably codec problem. Please check the video below. 4K, 1/50, sony 18-105 f4, iso 1250~2000 (no picture profile) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zlrlpNQcIE It seems we need a new firmware.

Hello everybody! I have an issue with my Sony A7iii. When I shoot at a high ISO (20000 and upwards) my camera produces images with strange line noise patterns (see image below). This is especially annoying since it's hard to fix in post and just looks plain ugly. This effect only occurs in dark areas of the image so it makes low light photography, especially outside at night, pretty much impossible. One thing me and my friend found out is that it has something to do with RAW compression (or lack there of). When compression is off, these artifacts occur, whereas when it is on, the striping is gone but the overall image is a little less sharp and more grainy. But the strange thing is, the striping does not happen at all with my friends's camera (identical body and lens). So maybe there is an issue with the sensor? I am seriously at a loss here, any advice would be appreciated. Some additional info: When comparing, we used the exact same camera settings and I use mechanical shutter.

Hi all! I have been a canon user for years and started with the 5d mkII (85mm f1.8 prime and 24-105 f4 L) especially involved in dynamic (street photography) and lowlight photography in the first place, i.e. stage photography (in harsh conditions -no flash, low light, handheld, comedians performing live...) then I started to specialize in staged studio portraiture (2× Elinchrom 500w). I also developped DOP skills in a cinema project and used the Canon 5dmk2 in that respect. The reasons for me to shift to Sony are: 1. Effective eye-tracking autofocus (is it me or did Canon really intend to commit commercial suicide not implementing that feature????) 2. Tack-sharpness and quick auto-focus 3. State-of-the art technology in the expert range outperforming canon 5ds and 6ds at a reasonable price tag. Now, three salesmen advised the sony A7III as a rational option for dynamic studio photography, which I do agree with. The point is I am really hesitating with the more expensive Sony Alpha7RIII since I like large format printings and super sharp portraits. I realize 42mp pictures will get my hard drives, CPU and retouching process busy. Suprisingly, two salesmen out of three told me the AlphaRIII was not proper to in-motion subject studio photography since the 42mp resolution was slower to process and would consequently generate inaccurate rendering/softness requiring to double the speed to reach tack-sharp shots (eye-focused) even with studio strobe. In short, SonyAR3 for POSED portraiture, macro, packshooting, stills, architecture, landscapes... only. My basic settings for studio are: 1/125th at 100 ISO. Subjects are not running, not bouncing, not headbanging on 200 bpm speed metal music. They just move as they would do in normal life, somewhat slower... I don't get it since that statement would mean the A7R3 could then not be able to deliver proper 42mp tack-sharp shots (full view) below 1/200th unless I'd ask my models to freeze??? Otherwise 'the expected softness/blur' will be quite noticeable and will ruin your work, given the super high resolution' they said. After a few questions, the salesmen admitted not being experienced in studio (were more 'macro, packshooting, nature...). What do you guys think? How well does the A7R3 perform in dynamic studio photography? How does it behave and compare with the A7R3 in that respect? Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hi, wonder if anyone is familiar with this, A7Riii has 42mp sensor while A7iii is 24mp, what effect does pixel size have on low light video, besides the obvious max ISO limit, thank you

Hi guys, New to the group, recently created this low light test, thought it might be useful for you guys. What do we think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-sJnw8A69I&t=4s Thanks
