Is my A7SIII EVF Sensor defective?


Recommended Posts

My camera has been working great until now. The EVF sensor will blank out the screen frequently. This is super annoying as I am mostly a video guy and rely on the screen to see what I am filming. I saw someone say they were holding it close to their chest but this will happen when the camera is not close to my body.

I did see a temp fix to set the EVF toggle to manual and map one of my custom buttons to toggle the EVF. Do they sell that EVF sensor separately or would I need to send this into Sony to repair?

They should allow it but don't expect it.

When you tilt the camera and the monitor goes black, does the sensor for the EVF fire up, at least ?

It almost looks like your camera's Level system is turning it on and off when it goes off axis! That possible?

Does the monitor go black when you block the eyepiece at level?

Could a nonstandard lens or something be giving the camera heartburn?

Quite a puzzle. I have not seen this behavior on mine.

Best as always,
Loren
