I have a Sony A7ii Camera and recently I formatted a new memory card on my camera and the battery was around 40%. During the format process, the camera turned off and when I tried restarting it again, it won't show any firmware in the camera and would just flicker once with the live view display and then go black. 

I have been trying to solve this problem and have no success till now. Please help out if any of you have any idea how to get this fixed.

I had problems with the rear view panel going black on my A7ii.  In the end I tracked the problem down to a dirty sensor.  Have you checked your EVF?  If the electronic view finder works after the live view goes black, it could be that the sensor immediately above the EVF has become a bit smeared, or has become otherwise obscured.  I cleaned mine with a cotton bud dipped in the fluid I use to clean my spectacles.  Afterwards, the live view panel worked as it should.

The viewfinder looks quite clean and there is no challenge there. I tried to connect it to the laptop for upgrading firmware but the camera is not recognized as a device because it doesn't have a working os on it. 

can you guide me as to how should I go about trying to upgrade the firmware again?

El visor se ve bastante limpio y no hay ningún desafío allí. Intenté conectarlo a la computadora portátil para actualizar el firmware, pero la cámara no se reconoce como un dispositivo porque no tiene un sistema operativo en funcionamiento. 

¿Puede orientarme sobre cómo debo intentar actualizar el firmware nuevamente? 

tengo el mismo problema con una a6300, pudiste solucionarlo?

saludos

      Centre Focus on A7R3

      By Pieter · Posted

      I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html

      Custom white balance for studio flash.

      By vinniemac · Posted

      New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji 😬  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie

      Sony Alpha 7 III - What type of filter? What do you recomme

      By tadwil · Posted

      I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
