Issues with A1 warning messsges incompatibility etc


Recommended Posts

Ive had periodic problems with my A1 freezing focus, displaying incompatible accessories etc.   the problem goes away upon turning off the A1, pulling the battery holder from ghe Vello grip and reinserting them.  Seems to happen when one of the 2 batteries gets low.  Wondering if its the non-Sony aftermarket batteries or the aftermarket Vello grip.  Ic I have to move to Sony exclusive accessories I will, but first want to pinpoint the culprit.  My firmware for camera and 200-600 lens are current.

Come on, you can afford a 6500$ camera but can't afford a few 78$ batteries ?

I had so many issues with generic accessories in the past that i avoid these so called bargains.

I am sorry but i just can't stand some of these questions like people buying a used lens at what they think is a low price and  then complaining of the high price for an original lens shade.

It can be either the generic grip or the generic batteries or a combination of both.

    • Why not get an a-mount camera -- with the features you want?  There are lots to choose from.  Most are APS format, but there were four that are full-frame format.  To use a-mount lenses on e-mount cameras you need an adapter that depends on your a-mount lenses and e-mount camera.  They are not cheap, and can have limitations.  You can avoid all that by sticking to a-mount cameras -- which are usually inexpensive.  So are a-mount lenses!   Here's a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sony_A-mount_cameras
    • Hi all, first time poster.  I am getting back into photography and have chosen to stick with sony, I have a pretty old Sony A100 alpha on the A mount, I have a couple of lenses that are all AF enabled, a small 28-70 sony kit lens and a telefoto Minolta, so my thought was to get an a6000 body, and use A to E adapter to make use of the glass. Is this advisable? Will I get clear crisp imagines in this manner, I can't imagine these lenses would be classed as "too old" or would they?  I'm trying to keep the initial cost down whilst I get back into things, after this i would be happy to spend a bit more.  Happy for any advice or correct me if my thinking is wrong. Is the A6000 a decent place to begin? I also considered the A77 mk2, which has the A mount. To add, my style of photography is mainly just portraits, family time photography, and some outdoor street stuff from time to time.  Thanks!
