Hello, first time posting here. Hope someone can help...

 

Please see the attached pic, which says: "Image Database File error, Recover?"

 

I own two cameras: the sony nex-5R and the A6000.

 

This message appeared when I took the same SD card out of the 5R (after shooting with it and then formatting it) and then put it into the A6000.

 

Then other SD cards, which I had NOT put into the 5R started to give me the same message in the A6000. Weird.

 

I reformatted ALL my SD cards within the A6000 and they seem to work OK, but I'm just concerned I corrupted or damaged the cards--or worse, the camera!

 

I researched a bit online and someone remarked they got the same message after switching the same SD card from a Canon 6D to a sony A6000, but I could not find a reason.

 

What is this message? Can anyone shed some light? Any help is appreciated. Thanks kindly.

You can simply reply "yes" and it will

create the image database. The same 

error can sometimes occur if you've 

put the card into your PC and deleted 

some images. Deleting in that manner 

does not update the database so upon 

returning the card to the camera, you 

may see a similar message. Again just 

say "yes". If you only deleted a some 

of the images, you wouldn't wanna be 

reformatting cuz that would delete all 

the remaining images.

      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
