Hi,

 

Whenever I transition scenes to my sony6000 it goes black for a couple seconds then the image comes up fine.

It didn't always do this and sometimes it doesn't do it at all or a lot. The black screen flicker only comes when I transition to the scene with the sonya6000 nothing else. I am using streamlabs. I do not have this issue with other cameras. For a while when I transitioned it would say "No memory card detected" and I would have to press the take a picture button on the camera to go to a normal screen. It stopped doing that one day, now it's just the occasional brief black screen.

Thank you.

It's for a study stream.

I am uncertain of your particular problem, but I did a little googling to try and bring light to your situation. I personally do not use my camera to stream or use StreamLabs. I'm going to go off on a limb here and suggest its the StreamLabs software that needs to be properly configured.

Hope the link is insightful.

      Sony ZV-E10 II – Continuous Autofocus Speed and Sensitivity

      By jonheres · Posted

      Problem Description – Sony ZV-E10 II A few weeks ago, I purchased my Sony ZV-E10 II camera from Digital Photo Supply. The unit is updated to the latest available firmware and is showing an abnormal behavior in the continuous autofocus system (AF-C), which can be consistently reproduced under different conditions and with various native Sony lenses. Observed Symptoms The parameters for focus transition speed (AF Transition Speed) and subject shift sensitivity (AF Subject Shift Sensitivity) do not remain stable. When the camera encounters a point or surface with low texture or contrast and takes time to focus, instead of maintaining smooth “focus breathing” according to the settings, it makes a sudden jump to focus. From that moment, autofocus behaves as if the speed were set to the highest value, completely ignoring the configured settings. After a few seconds, or when reframing, the system resumes normal operation. This phenomenon occurs even with Active Stabilization, Face/Eye AF, and Touch Tracking turned off. Testing Methodology Tests were conducted under various lighting conditions, both high-contrast and flat light. Different subjects were positioned at varying depth distances but laterally aligned (scenarios with partially overlapping elements). Medium and low focus transition speeds and medium or low subject sensitivity settings were used—these are the cinematic parameters I normally work with. All tests were performed exclusively with native Sony lenses, varying light and contrast levels to check behavioral consistency. Under these conditions, the camera consistently showed instances where, when using Spot Focus (S/M/L), it would momentarily lose focus and, upon regaining it, start focusing instantly on any new subject as the camera moved—completely ignoring the configured transition speeds. Control Camera Used A Sony ZV-E10 (Mark I) was used as a reference with identical lenses, settings, subjects, and lighting conditions. It passed all tests successfully without reproducing the issue. Impact on Professional Use This malfunction is catastrophic for my professional video work, where precise and fluid focus transitions are critical. When the system ignores transition speed and sensitivity settings, the footage becomes unusable, directly affecting visual continuity and cinematic quality. If this behavior cannot be corrected, the camera is unsuitable for professional video use, as it compromises focus system stability and predictability.
