Sony A6300 File Transfer Questions

I am new to this forum and very new to the hobby so please be gentile with me.  :)

Have owned a A6300 for a few years and been a casual user mostly taking pictures and videos of kids sporting events.  Currently I am using the a6300 for taking video's of football camps and games.  These vids are short clips usually no longer than 15seconds, however there would be lots per event.  

So here is my problem...when I used this camera pre pandemic I was taking videos of and transferring them directly to my iphone with the Sony Play App.  Camera sat in a bag for a few years and now I am using it weekly.  However now I am unable to transfer the 4k video's and get this error on the camera "Cannot perform this operation with XAVC S files".  MP4 works fine but quality is not as good.  

I realize there are other transfer options and I just ordered a lighting port card reader so I can transfer to my ipad.  But it was soooo much easier to just go from the camera to the iphone via WiFi.  

This seems to have become a problem when the app was upgraded from Sony Play to Imaging Edge.  I didn't change any setting from when this used to work fine.  

Whole point here is so I can get photos and videos to my kid Air Dropped as quickly as possible so he can edit on his phone and post to social media.  

 

Can anyone please assist?  Thank You

      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.

      ISO Bracketing

      Thanks for the information. Since my original post, I did some "experiments" at different iso settings. Best results were obtained at iso 320, and then increasing the exposure by four stops in Lightroom. The biggest difference compared to using a higher iso was that there was detail in dark foreground areas, while at high iso the dark areas were blocked. This is consistent with articles I've read about ISO invariance.
