Hello,


I’m new to this forum and first used the search option to go through several topics to find my answer.

I’m using the Sony A6400 (with a SIGMA 16 mm F1.4 DC DN lens.

The camera is mounted behind a teleprompter so not reals accessible form the back side.

The camera is connected via HDMI to a Atem Mini Pro.

The Power for the camera is provide by a dummy battery connected to the 230 V power adapter.

 

Every evening I’m Turing off the Power from the socket so the adapter and camera doesn’t have any power anymore.

The camera is set to: the movie Icon

 

And every mooring I’m moving my self in all different angles to change the following settings again:

-          ISO is set to : Auto

-          Shutter: 1/50

-          Lightning I’m raising that to + 1.3

-          In the menu, I’m changing the HDMI output to display a clean (with out menu etc.)

 

And as said every morning I need to make those setting again.

It it not a bog problem If I could reach the camera easy from the back, but that isn’t the case.

Is there a (better) way to make all those setting and/or to save the settings so I can re-use them again.

 

I was also looking for a way, to remote control those settings, but with the Imaging Edge Mobile, the settings to change are limited.

 

Can some one please help me out to make my setup working in the best way?

 

Thanks upfront.

 

Alex

The internal battery that retains all the memory settings is only charged when a genuine Sony battery is used. So I suspect this is why you are losing your settings, the internal battery no longer has a charge.

You could leave the power connected and set the Auto power save to put the camera to sleep instead of turning it off.

Alternatively write your settings to the card and recall them in the morning from the card.

Thank you for helping me out.
I turned of the camera with the ON/OFF button and now the settings are saved.

When I'm now powering down the complete power socket and leave the power ON/OFF button ON and Turn on the Power Socket again. I 'm using the saved settings.

Thanks.

    • 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. 
    • 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.  
    • I'm pretty confident OP made up his mind in the past 14 months.
