Shutter release button

[Lescatalpas]

Sometimes half press of the shutter release button is erratic with my A7R3, focussing is not instantaneous. If I use the back button focus button it is instantaneous. Also when I use a remote. My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the physical shutter release button.  Anybody else had that problem, and if so did you get it fixed?

Funny you mentioned this. I just got my A7R3 back from SONY Pro Repair. Works great now. The repair is out of Warranty and was around $350. However, since I used AMEX Platinum card for purchase, the warranty was doubled. AMEX credited me the repair charge. Here was the response for repair
