My fototech remote is not connecting with my camera. I haven’t seen clear guidance on any required settings but general information that some camera settings won’t work with the remote. Anyone have info on the required (or prohibited) settings to make the remote work? Battery is new.

A can't speak to your camera or your remote -- whatever they happen to be -- but I know that accessories (flashes, remotes, lenses, etc.), whether Sony or not, will only work with certain cameras and certain firmware with certain camera settings.  This can be particularly problematic with non-Sony accessories.  All I can suggest is check your camera manual, get the latest firmware, and check your remote manual.  Perhaps you have already done that.

    • You must be. I have an A7 IV and an A1, and while the A7 IV isn't nearly as fast as the A1, it is actually more tenacious. I have never had a problem with any kind of action shooting at all. Conversely, I had an A7R III that I loved, but the AF was so far behind the A7 IV I had to give it up.  I also had trouble with Ambassador settings. Without naming any one in particular, I found most of them to be useless.  Have you ever checked out Mirrorless Comparison? This post has rankings for many different cameras. The A7 IV is ranked very high and in some excellent company:

    • I agree with @big0bum, I wear glasses and have never had a problem with any of Sony's stock eye cups. The good news is that there are plenty of inexpensive third-party manufacturers on Ali and eBay that you can try until you find one you like.
