Have been having issues with my a5000 since I bought it. Most of my shots are in bright light outdoors, many times with fill flash. I was shooting on aperture priority like I always did with my Nikon but would have to use f18-22 to not overexpose with the flash on. Some were still blurry even at f8-11 with no flash. I then switched to S mode so i could eliminate hand shake. had some yesterday at f6.3 1/160 ISO auto(100) pattern metering zone focus. Shot at about 10ft away and i cannot find any part in focus. Other days it will take some perfect shots and some like this one. Never had problems with my old Nikon dslr. Trying to figure out if it is operator error of if I need to send it in. 

 

Here are a couple examples. I don't see any part of them that are in focus.

These problems are almost always operator error, usually camera movement.  I would start by taking test shots using a tripod, center focus, and either shutter delay or fire by remote to remove any issue related to camera movement.  Your images taken on a boat, even with a shutter speed of 1/160 may be faulty because the boat is not really a steady base.

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
