Hello everyone, 

I want to buy a Sony Alpha, but I need it to have no recording limit, because on several occasions I will need to record a live concert without having any computer nearby.

Could you help me to identify which Sony Alpha models have no recording limit (from a6 to all a7 models)?

Thank you very much in advance,

Josu.

I don't have specifics, but in general, any model that was introduced after the summer of 2019 will not have the 30-min. time limit. For example, I have a Sony RX100 VII which I purchased in the early Fall of 2019, and it does not have the 30-min. time limit on videos. Some cameras, even though they have the 30-min time limit, will automatically start a new file for videos longer than 30 minutes, which can then be spliced together in a video editing app such as Shotcut.

      A7 IV Freezing

      AI sez: The CHIPFANCIER CFexpress Type A 4.0 memory card offers 1700MB/s read speeds and is VPG400 certified, making it suitable for 8K video and high-speed shooting. However, some users have reported limitations in frame rates with this card.  Don't know if that applies, but it sounds similar. Any chance on using/getting a different card? The A7 IV has a ridiculous buffer, it shouldn't slow down at all with a good card.

      Make sure camera and lens is updated to latest firmware.

      ISO Bracketing

      By Richard A · Posted

      ISO 320 is the A7R5's second base ISO setting. You will find at ISO 320 you will get better results than even ISO 200. I normally take a set of shots at 1600, 3200 and 6400 ISO. I am taking 60 light frames and 10 dark frames. I don't do any adjustments to the files before stacking. I really need to get organised and do some bias frames now. Here is pretty much my first successful Milky Way shot from a few months ago. I was combatting a bit of ambient light and quite a lot of cloud but I'm pretty happy with this. It was shot using my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 which is better at astro than I had anticipated, at ISO 1600.
