I just went past image number 9999 and the A7 ii automatically went back to 00001.  I have always found it helpful in Lightroom to keep the original image number with a custom prefix for the type camera...in this case A7.  The Lightroom keeps them organized by shoot date.

 

Is this the best way to track images?  I use lots of keywords in Lightroom to help with locating photos.  I just don't want to have several images with the same name.

 

Thoughts from the forum.

You could prefix with A70, then A71 etc. I sort everything by date using "smart" folders, so the name of the file is not relevant to me.

I'm reviving this old topic, maybe I should have started a new topic but it's related. My a6500 rolled around from DSC09999 to DSC00001. You'd think that since it's a five-digit number, it would advance to DSC10000. Nope. And you can't customize more than the first three characters of the file name. So what's the point of that extra zero? I know it gets eaten up when you use Adobe RGB and the underscore gets added, but still -- seems like a dumb character to stick in there and I'd really like that to advance to 10000. Any way to co-opt this digit, or is it forever either underscore or zero?

      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.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
