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

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
