Sony A7r IV - Image Shaking Wiggling

Hello,

Well, I just received my Sony A7r IV and I wanted to take some photos to check the quality. I noticed that the image was wiggling repetitively in the same pattern or sequence. I first thought it was the tripod that was vibrating, but even when I hold the tripod still with my hands, the shaking was still there, so I changed the lens to the Sony 90 mm macro G, still the problem was there. I hocked my A7III on the same tripod with the same lenses, and there was no problem at all, so I guess it’s something weird with the A7rIV. After some time, the image became stable and I have no idea why. I tried to replicate the problem by letting the camera cool down etc, but I was not successful.

I am just concerned that there’s a problem with the camera that might be triggered from time to time without me knowing the root cause.

Do you know what this issue is related to please?

Please see this video that shows the problem.

When on the tripod, did you turn off the in body image stabilization (termed Steady Shot by Sony) and any optical image stabilization in the lens? The routine advice is when on a tripod, turn off the camera IBIS and the Lens OIS (although I think some cameras may not engage IBIS in this situation).

If the image stabilizes when both are off, you are started to finding the cause.

      Accumulated light exposure modes?

      By cwinte · Posted

      Thinking about control of images in low light with blur and movement I would like to experiment more with me manually varying aperture during a shot. With a manual lens this allows me to start with a small aperture and collect some fluidity and then snap lens to much larger aperture to give a more solid defined image. To date in a few quick trials I have just used a fixed exposure time judged by seeing exposure at a few apertures and then just trying my dexterity. A next step up would be that the camera closes the shutter when it has accumulated enough light. Maybe some long exposure /astronomy contexts might do that sort of thing....? To help imagine I'm thinking musicians in a bar, animals in low light, individuals in motion in some context. Mostly I seem to need near 1s exposure to synch my aperture change and have enough time. A de-clicked lens or one with a loose aperture ring would help (maybe I have at home on the shelf) but I am away with just 2 old Olympus lenses and TBH the aperture rings are a bit stiff and close to the focus ring... Any thoughts or suggestions?

      Luminar Editing Program Compatibility

      By Cameratose · Posted

      Friends don't let friends use Luminar. They lie, their DAM is either non-existent or garbage. They tell you it's a one-time purchase with free updates for the life of the program. Problem is, they bring out a whole new program every year or two, then they stop 'updating' or even supporting the old one. They give away the last version free to suck you in to the next one. I tried them a while back and went through the entire process. When I removed it from my computer (after I cancelled my sale on the new version) I had to delete 36,000 sidecar/thumbnails of my photos, most of which I had never even opened in Luminar. It just went into my folders and automatically created all of these files.  There are many decent programs out there you can get that will stand head and shoulders above Luminar.

      Luminar Editing Program Compatibility

      By Gene3 · Posted

      I am considering purchasing the Luminar editing program for IOS to use with my A7iv; however in listing which cameras are compatible, there is this statement: "Sony vcb cropped p send-raw format is not currently supported."  Does anyone know if this means that the program will not work with raw photos?  Has anyone successfully used this program editing raw photos?
