Hi friends

In my institute a teacher explain how to know if a remote works, remotes can be watched with a cam like your phone's if going well you see a blue light if not there's a problem......

In the night if you shot a photo to the sky may be blue points, I believe they are black stars maybe also called black holes

With my ilce alpha 7 I can't see both

There's any conf?

Could be any solution to view this invisible for humans light specter with the cam?

You want to see black holes by photographing the nights sky with your A7? You do realize that only this year for the very first time in history a black hole was 'photographed' using a virtual Earth-size telescope, after 60 institutions collaborated and did massive data-processing on readings by eight radio telescopes which were synchronized by atomic clocks?

Please keep us posted when you succeed. You might well win a Nobel prize.

Now I'm confused. Not about black holes: I don't know enough about black holes to get confused! But about remotes, UV, and cameras.

I have known for a long time that remote controls (of the UV kind) can be tested (at least for life: not for correct signals, of course) with a phone camera, because it sees the UV light that our eyes do not.

Didn't I hear that our mirrorless cameras have a UV filter in front of the lens? But my a6500 can see the purple glow from my Aircon remote control. Oh, and it's got a dirty-finger protector (other known as a UV filter) on the lens too.

Please unconfuse me!

I'm sure if you take a photo of sky in dark night with 600-1000mm lenses, when viewing the photo with computer and uses pc zoom you can see blue points wetween other stars. And them the blue points are in same point in other photos of same zone and them have the blue color of remotes, 

Maybe them aren't black hol but theme are UV light emitting stars cause without camera you can't see the same point

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      By Pieter · Posted

      I've been using this lens extensively without any sharpness issues. At long focal lengths, you'll have to factor in the need for a faster shutter speed (< 1/500-ish at 350mm) and other factors like atmospheric distortion, fog/dust haze, etc. All these factors contribute to a deterioration of image quality at longer focal lengths.

      That's supposed to be a pretty good APS-C lens. Can you try it on a different camera just for the heck of it? Friend? Camera shop? The lens is noted for sharpness, so if you're having as much trouble as you say, you may want to look into a replacement or repair.

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to the community because I’m facing a persistent image quality issue with my Sony 70–350mm f/4.5–6.3 G OSS lens, and I’d like to know if this is normal behavior or if my copy is defective. Problem description: I’ve extensively compared the 70–350mm G OSS with my Sony 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS, using a Sony A6700, under controlled conditions: • Identical lighting and background • Same subject and position (LEGO figure, consistent framing) • Tripod or steady support • Manual focus or AF with center point • Same shutter speed (e.g., 1/200s), similar ISO (ISO 4000–6400), RAW + JPEG • OIS turned on (and also tested with OIS off) My observations: • At 135mm, the 70–350mm G OSS delivers softer, flatter images than the 18–135mm, even when stopped down. • At 350mm, the sharpness drops significantly – the center is soft, and textures (like LEGO tiles or fabric) appear blurred or smudged. • Contrast and micro-detail are noticeably inferior across all focal lengths. • The 18–135mm at 135mm (even cropped) retains better edge sharpness and detail definition. • Both JPEG and RAW files confirm the issue – this is not just JPEG processing or noise reduction. Question to the community: • Have others experienced similar softness with the 70–350mm? • Is it possible I have a decentered or optically misaligned copy? • Is there a known issue with OSS introducing softness at long focal lengths? I wanted to love this lens due to the range and portability, but currently it’s unusable for anything where image quality matters. I’m considering returning or sending it for service. Thanks in advance for any feedback or comparison results you can share.
