Hey folks,

I picked up this Sony Alpha A7III and I have been using it for about 2 months. If I switch on the Camera after a break of a couple of days; I experience a time drift by about an hour. Has anyone experienced it?

Some information that may be useful:

• Time Zone is correctly set
• Firmware Version is 4.01 (Latest)

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Any help will be useful.

You're living a charmed life relative to my Blackmagic Video Assist V. That pig LEAKS days, not hours. To be precise now, seeing as I just timed how bad it is, it lost 42 minutes in one hour. Set it at 14:56. One hour later it read 17:14. How's that for pathetic? (When I turned it on for the test the the date was December 22.)

14:56 was a typo. 16:56 to 17:56 it was 42 minutes short. If my life was running this timecode I'd likely have another 400 years before my parking meter expires.
