Help with the delete function


Recommended Posts

Can Sony fix the sh*tty design of deleting photos? Not only do you have to go into the playback menu to be able to select a multiple delete function but you have to manually click every f*cking picture you want to delete.

 

Not a problem right? Just delete by date? Of course, that would be smart if Sony allowed you to delete more than 100 pictures at a time! It won't select dates for which there are more than 100 pictures, it won't even select 100 pictures at a time for that date. It just won't do anything.

 

Well why would you need to delete 100 pictures at a time on your camera, just move them to your computer! Right, great idea, except Sony F-ED UP THE FORMATTING! So even when I try and move them all I'm left with ghost files that read "unable to display" which I have to manually click to delete even though THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON THE F*CKING CAMERA!!!!

 

What the hell kind of shitty design is this? Just a mistake right? WRONG! People have been complaining about the same problems since 2015 with no fix, that's unbearable and unbelievable.

 

Sony's main piece of advice? Just format your card every time you use it in your computer, we recommend that anyway. That's just bullshit avoiding a problem they've had for years.

 

I'm incredibly frustrated about a pretty big hang up on an otherwise amazing camera (a6300). I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a trick to delete things a little faster or not deal with this problem since apparently Sony has no intention of ever fixing it. Sorry for the rant and thanks in advance!

I never have those problems ... such as ghost files 

after moving pix to a PC. Apparently Sony doesn't 

like you and so you should not be using Sony gear. 

Bail out while you still can.  

   

And welcome to [some other] forum. IOW Hi-Bye 

and do svidaniya, niet !  

   

No HELP ! for you. Come back next never.

I've had x number of Sony cameras and never experienced what you are describing. Probably your card is corrupted in some way.

 

It's quite important to not format your card in your computer because that will remove the headers. Only format it in the camera or using an SD formatter tool on your computer.

 

As to deleting your photos one by one, nobody does that normally.

Ok, thank you for the helpful response. I did use the camera formatting setting and still ran into the problem. Maybe just a corrupted SD card but I'd be surprised because it was brand new and has only been used for the camera.

 

It would be easy if I could delete by date but because the file is technically not there it sets the date to 0-0 and tries to delete every photo on the card

    • I've had a A7iii for a few years now and up until recently all has been fine. However, when shooting in manual mode my camera changes the shutter speed after every shot, e.g. just taken a shot at 1/60th and immediately the camera set itself to 1/4000th without me touching it! I have the camera set for BBF and the same change of shutter speed can happen when I press the shutter button. Live View is on. Any suggestions? Many thanks!
    • How are you liking your ZV-E10?  Do you use it for still photography, video or both?  I would enjoy hearing your feedback! The A33 was my first digital ILC (interchangeable lens camera) and I still use it a good bit for when I am taking photos specifically for posting online.
    • Hello guys, here I share my impressions of the Brightin Star 11mm 2.8 fisheyelens for night photography, and share some photos taken with it at the end of the post.   Introduction The Brightin Star 11mm 2.8 is a fisheye lens, with manual focus, which is available for different mounts, including Sony's E mount. It is a very interesting lens because of its focal length, large aperture and price - it currently costs just 213 euros (https://brightinstar.com/products/brightin-star-11mm-f2-8-full-frame-wide-angle-starry-sky-fisheye-lens-suitable). After some time using it with the Sony A7IV, here are my impressions of using it. Construction The construction of the lens is excellent; it is a tremendously robust lens, made primarily of metal. It weighs about 600 grams but, even so, it has a contained size compared to its competitors (such as the Samyang or the Astrhori 12mm 2.8). Its diaphragm ring, which is located on the front of the lens, has no clicks. Behind it is the focus ring, and it is followed by a (focusing) scale that is a great help when shooting at large apertures, especially at f2.8. The construction of the lens is generally very good.     Image Quality The image quality of the Brightin Star 11mm 2.8 surprised me. It is a lens that, despite its price, is super sharp, especially in the center of the image. That sharpness drops off, as expected, in the corners. And although its sweet spot is at f5.6 to f8, it performs very well at f2.8, which makes it an ideal lens for night photography. As for vignetting, it is present at full aperture, and fades (without disappearing completely) as the aperture closes. As for chromatic aberrations, they are significantly present, but are easily correctable in processing. Regarding other distortions, it has the fisheye distortion, and some coma in the corners at full aperture. Finally, as for flares, I did not notice any special flare in the presence of lateral light sources. All in all, image quality is a plus for this lens.   Sunstar Another of the lens' strong points, in addition to its sharpness, is the sunstar it creates. This sunstar appears easily from f4. It is 8-bladed and very beautiful. This is a feature to take into account as it can be used as another element to compose with when photographing the sun, the moon or some other point of light in our night photography.   Use Due to its 2.8 aperture and the good performance at it, the Brightin Star 11mm 2.8 is a very interesting lens for night photography. Personally I have used it mostly for floors, combined with a longer focal length (previous pictures) to get the milky way in more detail. But even so, because of its wide angle of view, I have also found it useful for panoramas, since with just 6 vertical shots you can cover 240 degrees.   Conclusion The Brightin 11mm 2.8 is a very economical fisheye lens that performs very well in both landscape and night photography, both for simple shots (correcting its distortion) and for panoramas. It stands out, above all, for its build quality, performance at full aperture and for its beautiful sunstar that comes out easily from f4.   I got it at the official website: https://brightinstar.com/products/brightin-star-11mm-f2-8-full-frame-wide-angle-starry-sky-fisheye-lens-suitable-for-l-sony-e-nikon-z-canon-rf-mount?srsltid=AfmBOor8dl4EwqFJ5z6IUvL5VPiwkVKfjhW0r90r8MDCQR6AscZER9j0   Here I share some photos taken with it (the first two, only the foreground was tanken with it; the thrid one, all the photos of the panorama were taken with it).
