I just received my Sony a7iii less than a week ago. When attaching and taking some test photos with a newly received Sony 70-300mm lens, suddenly the f-stop was displayed as "F--", and there was no image visible on the display, or EVF. I turned off the camera and reconnected the Sony 90mm lens, and same thing, F-- for the fstop value. Since this occurred with two different lenses, the problem seems to be with the camera. I tried a reset in the menu, but this did not work, none of the menu items would work. So I removed the battery for about 30 seconds, replaced it, and it's been fine for a couple of days now. Has anyone else seen this type of glitch in the a7iii?? I did see one other thread regarding the F-- issue. I'm inclined to return the camera to amazon, especially since the box that it was shipped in looked to be in bad shape, bad enough I took photos of it. -Thanks

My new Sony a7iii shakes every time on startup , is this normal? from day one every time I turn on my camera it vibrates like quick yet noticeable vibration like a kick inside the body, and it make a less stronger shake when turned off. is this normal? should I ask for another camera?

Hello - I am new to the forum. I have a Sony A7iii. Have had it for a month. Used it extensively in various modes. As of yesterday when I set it to Manual Mode nothing happens when I try to take a picture. I'm wondering. What did I do for this to start to happen? Just starting to try to figure it out but haven't found any tips online. I'll go thru the settings tomorrow to see if I can figure it out but appreciate any advice people have.

Thoughts on DxO PhotoLab vs. Lightroom. I currently have LR6 and don’t want the monthly cost to upgrade my LR, can anyone tell me their thoughts or opinions on DxO PhotoLab? Current users that have switched from LR-is it basically the same/different? What do you like/dislike?

I was following a YouTube tutorial and made some setting changes and saved them to the 1 on the MR (Memory Recall) Memory. Does anyone know how to clear those settings? Location: Camera Settings I menu, Page 3. Thanks!

I shot some pictures at my Super Bowl party Sunday, and decided to try shooting them in RAW format if that's the term. When I put the SD card into my computer, it didn't know what to do with them. How do I view my pictures when taken in RAW?

Black Friday is now about 17 days from now. Does B&H or Adorama offer some real good deals on this day, or is it all hype?

Yesterday I ordered the Sony a7iii camera body. As I was ordering it, several levels of insurance policies were offered, which I did not buy as money is tight. My question is whether I should have bought one of them. First camera, so not sure what is the norm.

Hi everyone! I just acquired a couple of months ago the Sony a6000 to start into serious photography (I used to shoot IPhone and even if I love it, I've always looked for better and true stunning photos), I paired it with the Sigma 16mm F1.4 and love the versatility and the results especially the image quality. I've used primarily as an all-round, travel, every day photography even environmental portraits in low light. I'm very excited since just received the A7III in addition to start in the FF world and I'm just trying to decide the first lens should I buy for, after reading and watching a lot of reviews I narrowed my search to the following candidates: Sony 24-105mm F4 G, very useful focal length range and super sharp, F4 aperture may be compensated by increasing ISO in low light situations. Tamron 28-75mm F2.8, standard zoom lens for landscape, portrait and street photography, the F2.8 and apparently good sharpness is something really gets me. Sony Zeiss 50mm F1.4 / 55mm F1.8 standard primes, the overall performance and good perks of the 55mm are great, but the reviews about the stunning pop ("like magic") of the 50mm image quality really wants me to incline for this lens, is that really good? Sony 24mm F1.4 G Master, in pre-order right now but I really expect an excellent performance and to be a go-to for landscape photography and overkill the previous experience with the Sigma 16mm 1.4 (APS-C). I can just afford 1 lens this year (I won't be buying another lens even after savings) and don't mind to be walking in or out to get the perfect composition, I just want to get the best experience and image quality and start building my lens kit after time. Thank you for the feedback!
