Saving settings / Remote control / HDMI clean output


Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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.
    • 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
