Review image between frames while shooting continuous


Recommended Posts

Bit of an odd question here possibly..

I recently purchased a Sony A7R III. I previously had an Olympus EM1 Mark II. One big difference that I'm seeing is that when I shoot in continuous mode I am not seeing the last photo on the screen between frames. I have the image review setting set to 2 seconds, but that doesn't seem to have any impact when shooting continuously. For example, I shoot lightning and fireworks pretty often with shutter speeds of about 2-8 seconds. I use a shutter cable and lock the button down so the camera continuously fires shots. What I want is to be able to see each photo between frames.

A lot of times I'll turn these sequences of images into timelapse videos. In order to make a nice timelapse I cannot take a few seconds to stop shooting and check my photos. I need to be able to see the photos immediately after they are shot so that I can make adjustments with my variable ND filter if the exposure needs adjusted.

Is there a setting that will let me do this?

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
