Sony promos

As a avid Sony consumer I feel totally ripped off by the latest promo, firstly the larger incentive is to buy direct from Sony not established retailers - shame for being so shortsighted when the rest of the consumer experience with Sony is sure to fail and a slap in the face for retailers who stock and promote Sony.

Firstly to reclaim a $100 bonus gift car you have to follow links to Sony that do not exist- confirmed by Sony themselves.

Then you have to go through customer post-sales-care and wait and wait for the promos team to agree to post a card.

When the card does arrive you have to activate via a link which again does not exist - surprise surprise, the Sony promo site advises redemptions no longer available ????

When you receive your new camera it also comes with a $25 Sony gift voucher but surprise surprise it is already 3 months out of date.

There can only be two explanations - total incompetence or someone is getting a bonus for offering incentives that are not actually paid out - bonus for the sales executive that dreamed up this scheme.

From my perspective and experiences Sony are overlooking the big picture here and treating their customers with contempt, but how would I know I was only a loyal customer not a market researcher.

Sony - you win - keep your redemptions, pay your marketing team a bonus for the redemptions not actually able to be redeemed and I will enjoy my last Sony.

Great products alone don't always endure!

    • Welcome to the FORUM. I'm not familiar with that camera, but I use manual-focus lenses on my Sony DSLR all the time without any problem.  The difference between your camera and mine, is that yours has an electronic viewfinder.  You can get a user manual on-line at Sony's website.  That might explain what type of setting you have to make to brighten up the EVF. In any event, others who use that camera will jump in soon with an explanation.  Despite that, you should download the user manual.  It will take about a week to read and digest it all.  The Sony manuals are good at explaining how to set each feature individually.  What takes longer to grasp is how to use the various features in combination.  This gives the camera a lot more power, but can get pretty complicated at times.  You'll find out what I mean. There are undoubtedly some good books about your specific camera that go into more detail than the Sony User Manual. Happy shooting.
    • Sounds like a Live View setting This link will take you to an online searchable manual. Help Guide | Top Have you done a factory reset yet? Always do a factory reset when you buy a used camera, there's no way to tell what oddball settings the old owner put it. You want to start from scratch. Also, check the firmware version and update it if needed.
    • Hello All,    Steve here, long time photographer but brand new to this forum and new to Sony a7Rii. I have worked with everything from 35mm, medium format, large format up to including ULF cameras. I purchased the Sony with the hope that I would be able to use my vintage Nikon lenses in a digital format. I have a Novaflex adapter on the camera which fits nicely and works and obviously needs to be stopped down for exposure. What I am finding is that when I go outside in bright light the viewfinder/screen becomes rather dark even with the lens wide open. Works just fine indoors but "grays out" when outdoors. This camera is new to me and did not come with an instruction manual. Any thoughts? Thanks, Steve
