Hi all,

My name is Eric and have been getting up to speed on my new A7SIII I purchased about five weeks ago.  I'm retiring as the Chief Meteorologist at the CBS affiliate, WBTV, in Charlotte, NC.  I've been a passionate amateur photographer/videographer/editor for over 40 years now.  I built my first darkroom in 1975 when I was a sophomore in high school.  Although I'm best known for my work in front of a camera, I guess I wound up in the right business because I also love working behind the camera.  My current toolbox features Adobe Premiere Pro for grading and editing and Lightroom for my imagery.  In addition to my Alpha, I also own an Autel EVO 2 Pro 6K drone which shoots wonderful video in its own right.

I'm hoping to keep myself busy after I retire by working mainly with real estate professionals producing videos and/or interior/exterior photos of properties.  I am also a budding drone pilot (currently working on my Part 107 certification) hoping to include aerial video as part of my skillset.  

Despite my lengthy interest in this hobby, and my 38 years in the television business, there is still much more I don't know than I do know and looking forward to perusing the forums here and gaining as much knowledge as I can!

      A7 IV Freezing

      By Cameratose · Posted

      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.

      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.
