Has anyone used Sony M UHS-ll ss memory cards with the IV?  I have a book of these cards and wasn’t sure how they would perform. I’m waiting for my A7RIV to be delivered and really don’t want to spend any additional money. How much longer will the buffer transfer take?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 

Thank you,

 

Jeremy

RAW files start at around 60MB, so check the write speed of the cards, if they are 150MB  per second then taking more than 2.5 frames per second it will start to buffer. I think the buffer is about 33 frames so if you fill the buffer I think it will take about 13 seconds to write all that to the card.

The cards will be fine, just be aware that if you go nuts with the shutter button you may miss some shots while the buffer clears.

Thank you for the information.  My cards run at 100 mb/s write speed.  I will not have a need to burst that hard so I’m not that worried about pictures.  My concern is 4K Video at 30 fps.  How do you think the m cards will handle that situation?  I really appreciate the help.

As long as the requirements of the camera in that situation are met or exceeded by the capabilities of the card, you will be fine.

Sony does not specify any higher requirement than 100 Mbps, regardless of possible resolution or frame rate.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      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.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
