ISO 800 because no tripod.

Most of the hills and mountains are brown, but in this area (and Artist Drive) they are light yellow with various other colors interspersed.

When driving on the 20 Mule Team Drive (unpaved road) you only see the light yellow dirt all abound you. Pretty boring, until you park at a turnout, then hike and climb to the top of a high spot.

Was this after sunrise or before sunset? Nice image!

 

Cheers,

Ted

It was about an hour before sunset.

Ted,  The view when driving on 20 Mule Team drive is nothing to see unless you stop, and hike to the top of the highest hills. There is one really good spot towards the end of the drive. There is a place to park up on the left, it is shortly after the road begins making tight S turns between the hills.  Then walk up to the highest point for a great 360 view.

      Aperture and shutter speed move together, even though I'm in

      Are you sure you haven't assigned some strange setting to the front or rear dial? If it were me, I'd check all my settings. If all else fails, do a factory reset.

      A7 IV Freezing

      By Cameratose · Posted

      It really doesn't tell you anything, your assumption is based on a very scant bit of evidence. I use an A7 IV as my backup and have shot it in much, much colder temperatures than that, well below freezing. I've shot it in rain, snow and brutally hot temperatures, next to pavement that scanned 140°F in direct summer sun. There would be no point in manufacturing a camera that couldn't operate in such normal temperatures. Something else was going on.

      A7 IV Freezing

      By rngrrik · Posted

      Update: A bit more information. I used both the Sony and Chipfancier CF A cards in the A7 IV while in Alaska in temperatures ranging from high 40°F to low 70°F never below freezing. When I arrived back home I replicated the same setup with the A7 IV & 200-600 f5.6-6.3 Sony lens and switching the two mentioned CF A cards and had no issue shooting on Hi continuous. I tried various other lenses and got the same results. So that tells unless it was a fluke the A7 IV can't operate within the above temperature range.  I am heading to Africa next month and hope I do not have the same issues of the camera hanging up or buffering. I can't think of anything else to try or do.
