Invalid in this mode????

[AndyH]

Hi folks,

 

I have a A7RII that flies in a drone.  I fire the camera from an IR trigger that is plugged into the gimbal.  In theory, the trigger is just the same as if I had a small hand held IR trigger.   It fires normally at first and then after a few shots it says:

 

    "Invalid in this mode"

"Available in movie mode"

 

If the camera was in my hands I could just touch the shutter button and the warning goes away, unfortunately, it's in the air.  It wont let me get past this screen and I have to land the drone and touch the shutter button, which as you can imagine is quite infuriating!  

 

Have any of you folks had this warning occur in any situation.  I can't think what might be causing it.

 

Settings are:

Shooting in AV

Minimum shutter speed is 1/250

Focus set to AF-S

F8

ISO Auto

RAW uncompressed

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Andy.

Your trigger is passing the wrong signal. While most remotes don't have button the A7 will respond to the command to take a movie if you use the right Sony remote. Not sure why it is happening only intermittently. That is frustrating.

My Sony A7Riii is not allowing me to press red movie button to record. "Invalid in this mode. available in movie mode."

Only allows recording in movie mode.
