A6300 slow / delay issue

Hi everyone!

 

I've had the A6300 now since September, switching from Canon 70D. Something I have really experienced is how slow it is. Starting up takes several seconds and switching from my custom modes or to other modes, like manual to shutter priority seems quite slow. I've noticed it's slower after filming a lot so I guess that has to do with the buffer but it's still surprisingly slow, even when I haven't filmed and switching.

 

Is this just how it is, a bit slower because of all Sony stuffed in it or how are your experiences? Also, sometimes with like focusing or waking up from sleep mode if I haven't used it for more than 10 seconds seem a bit slow too. It's like the "brain" can't keep up.

 

Thanks for all help and advice!

I have the very same problem.

My (very new, 3 weeks old) Sony a6300 takes 3-4 seconds to turn on and about 1.5 seconds to turn off! 

When the camera was in EVF mode when shut down (I cancelled the EVF/LCD auto-switching), turning it on again starts the LCD monitor, and after some time switches back to the EVF...

I have firmware version 1.10

 

3-4 seconds startup time is completely unacceptable! Sony must do something about it because many shots are going to get lost.

      A7R III + Metabones V Issue
      By Alejandro Espeche
      Yesterday while I was doing nature photography I had to turn off the camera several times because it was hanging with the curtain up, nothing was visible on the display and in the EVF you could see the last photo shot and the focus points were blinking.

      The problem was presented with the following configuration

      Sony A7R III + Metabones V + Canon EF 400mm f / 5.6L USM AF-C Wide focus mode
       
      Did any of you have a similar problem?

      May Need to Return a6300
      By Wolfzone
      Most unfortunately I may need to return my Sony a6300 that I recently acquired. I notice a distinct tilt of my images when using the EVP (also when I upload them) but images are straight/level when I view them on the LCD screen. I'm a committed EVP lover so this is highly disappointing to me. I actually purchased another a6300 and had to return it to Sony for this issue and this camera (another a6300) was a replacement. Has anyone experienced this issue? So disappointed. Thanks much.

      Hello
       
      I made these pictures with the A6300 and a Batis 85 using strobist techniques (two speedlights yongnuos with Nikon triggers)

      A6500 vs A6300 in 2018
      By Lazarys
      Hello friends!   I am in the market for a new camera and I have decided to go with Sony.
      I was wondering how things were looking in 2018 in regards to these Sony cameras. I have the option to either buy:   Sony A6300 for 800 euro from a dealer (0 shutter actuations but no receipt or warranty)   Sony a6500 for 1366 euro brand new from Amazon   I've seen the overheat tests between the two and unfortunately most of the time the a6300 turns off and the a6500 keeps going until it runs out of battery or at least reaches the 30 minute mark for those who have the 30 min limit. I understand they moved the thermal limit with firmware but that doesn't change the fact that it heats to the point where the camera may die from overheating.   The a6500 has increased buffer depth and marginally better image quality, they boast better performance at higher ISO. It has touch focus which may come in handy, it has a redesigned menu layout, it has IBIS and while it isn't perfect it's not bad to have for handheld shots. Some features for quick and slow mo video and 35 seconds of continuous shooting at 11 fps.   The a6300 is a bit of a gamble but the price difference is significant so I'm kinda stuck. I need to get out of my own head and need to hear some outter perspective.   Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you.
