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.)

      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.

      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.
