Hi I was recently given an alpha200 but it had no battery or charger. So I bought a battery and charger off ebay. When they arrived I put a cf card in the memory card slot but when I put the battery in there was a clicking noise that lasted for about 3 seconds coming from inside of the camera. When I turned it on the same noise happened again and it said set time and date for about one second on the lcd screen and then it said camera error. I turned it off and took off the lens. Took the battery out then put the battery back in but with the lens off. It made the same noise and I noticed it was the mirror flicking up and down. When I turned it on it did the same again. Mirror flicks up and down quickly for about 3 seconds. Does anyone havery any ideas what it is doing this. Any help is much appreciated

 

 

 

Thanks Colin

      ISO Bracketing

      By Richard A · Posted

      ISO 320 is the A7R5's second base ISO setting. You will find at ISO 320 you will get better results than even ISO 200. I normally take a set of shots at 1600, 3200 and 6400 ISO. I am taking 60 light frames and 10 dark frames. I don't do any adjustments to the files before stacking. I really need to get organised and do some bias frames now. Here is pretty much my first successful Milky Way shot from a few months ago. I was combatting a bit of ambient light and quite a lot of cloud but I'm pretty happy with this. It was shot using my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 which is better at astro than I had anticipated, at ISO 1600.

      ISO Bracketing

      Thanks for the information. Since my original post, I did some "experiments" at different iso settings. Best results were obtained at iso 320, and then increasing the exposure by four stops in Lightroom. The biggest difference compared to using a higher iso was that there was detail in dark foreground areas, while at high iso the dark areas were blocked. This is consistent with articles I've read about ISO invariance.

      I do a bit of astro photography and do a lot of research etc. on best settings to use. I have never heard of anyone using ISO bracketing! Typically, higher ISO settings such as 1600, 3200 or 6400 are used and multiple light and dark frames are stacked to reduce noise. If you are worried about noise in dark foreground areas then just use a seperate exposure for them then blend the exposures in post processing. By the way, I also have an A7R5.
