1) I, at one time, got 30FPS going on my camera working ... however now, I cant figure out how to get it back. I loaded someone else's settings on the camera and since then I have not been able to get it back. However, I did a complete reformat back to MFG setup and still cant get it. 

Prerequisites for 30 FPS with Autofocus Continuous (AF-C)
You need to be shooting in Compressed RAW, JPEG or HEIF file format. 
	-- Image Quality set to Raw Compressed

Focus mode should be set to AF-C and drive mode to Hi+. 
	-- Done

Electronic shutter speed between 1/250 – 1/32000 sec. 
	-- Not sure where to set this? Shutter type is set to Auto right now

Priority Set in AF-C set to ‘Release’. The default is ‘Balanced Emphasis’. With it set to ‘Release’ the shutter will be released even if the subject is out of focus. With ‘Balanced Emphasis’ the camera tries to achieve a balance between focus and shutter release, however this reduces the maximum FPS slightly. 
	-- Set to Release

Use a lens that supports 30 FPS. View my Sony A1 Lenses Guide. 
	-- Using G Master 100-400 lens

Have the latest lens firmware version installed.
	-- Checked and firmware is .03


2) I have 2 cards in the card slots, but the camera only shows 1 in the top right area. Before I hard reset the camera it showed both

On the shutter speed, try setting auto-ISO min shutter - I use min 1000 (animal) or min 2000 (bird).

On the cards showing, mine shows the cards top left, not top right?

Everything else looks correct,

Current ISO settings ..

sorry, yes I meant top left for the cards … but still only shows 1. Is there an option for this somewhere I am missing?

      Purchasing a Sony ZV 1F and I have questions

      I don't know much about this camera but here is a link to comprehensive specifications: Sony ZV 1F Specifications It doesn't mention a wired controller. It doesn't have a 2.5mm socket but I believe that you could use the USB C port to connect a remote.

      Hi. tried this one. I have the same problem and read your post. I tried everything until this. it worked.   LuckySn0wMan •4mo ago•Edited 4mo ago   I've just had exactly this issue recently on my Sony A7r2 and successfully resolved it. I bought this camera used, so looks like the previous owner of the camera tweaked it's firmware to unlock additional languages. These tweaks caused this issue after the camera spent significant amount of time without the battery installed. Note that on ny camera the OpenMemories tweak app is not installed, so I used the pmca-gui PC application to change tweak settings of the camera firmware without the OpenMemories in camera app. So my sequence of actions to fix the camera: Install the battery. Connect the camera via micro-usb cable to your windows bases PC. Power on the camera. It should start in mass storage mode. Download the pmca-gui-v0.18-win.exe executable from the official github page: https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE/releases. On the Camera info tab press the Get camera info button just to test that the app can successfully detect the camera. Go to the Tweaks tab. Press the Start tweaking (updater mode) button. The Updater mode tweaks tab should popup. Camera display will be completely black and the buttom right LED will be on. Select the Unlock protected setting checkbox. Uncheck the Unlock all languages checkbox. Uncheck the Unlock protected setting checkbox. Press the Done button. Once the app applies all changes to the camera firmware, exit from the app and power off the camera. After power on the camera should start working as usual. As additional info: My camera had the following tweak settings during the gray screen problem: Disable video recording limit: not selected Unlock all languages: selected (possible cause of the bug) Enable PAL/NTSC selector & warning: selected Enable USB app installer: not selected Unlock protected settings: selected After my changes that helped to fix the camera power on gray screen: Not selected Not selected Selected Not selected Not selected
