I had a power out on my A7Sii mid-shot.  The file is unreadable on my MacBook Pro - however, it is 850mb and plays back in camera from the SD card.

 

There was no XML file recorded due to the sudden power loss.

 

I have tried the in-camera repair option, without success.  The fact I can view the video in camera must mean the information is there?

Thanks, but my file is MP4 and not MTS, so I can't 'show contents'.  The software link didn't work either.

handles mp4's.... or so it says on the website.

link is still good, at least for me... here it is again...    http://grauonline.de/cms2/?page_id=5#download

 

"Our repair utility can repair and fix broken or damaged video files (MOV, MP4, 3GP, M4V) that do not play in your media player.

What exactly means REPAIR? Repair means that only video and audio portions can be repaired that are not lost: On some of your corrupt files, it MAY NOT repair anything at all, on some files it MAY repair some video portions, and on some other files it MAY repair both video and audio portions (It fully depends on the grade of corruption)."

 

 

good luck, whatever you do...

      Welcome to the FORUM. I'm not familiar with that camera, but I use manual-focus lenses on my Sony DSLR all the time without any problem.  The difference between your camera and mine, is that yours has an electronic viewfinder.  You can get a user manual on-line at Sony's website.  That might explain what type of setting you have to make to brighten up the EVF. In any event, others who use that camera will jump in soon with an explanation.  Despite that, you should download the user manual.  It will take about a week to read and digest it all.  The Sony manuals are good at explaining how to set each feature individually.  What takes longer to grasp is how to use the various features in combination.  This gives the camera a lot more power, but can get pretty complicated at times.  You'll find out what I mean. There are undoubtedly some good books about your specific camera that go into more detail than the Sony User Manual. Happy shooting.

      Sounds like a Live View setting This link will take you to an online searchable manual. Help Guide | Top Have you done a factory reset yet? Always do a factory reset when you buy a used camera, there's no way to tell what oddball settings the old owner put it. You want to start from scratch. Also, check the firmware version and update it if needed.

      Hello All,    Steve here, long time photographer but brand new to this forum and new to Sony a7Rii. I have worked with everything from 35mm, medium format, large format up to including ULF cameras. I purchased the Sony with the hope that I would be able to use my vintage Nikon lenses in a digital format. I have a Novaflex adapter on the camera which fits nicely and works and obviously needs to be stopped down for exposure. What I am finding is that when I go outside in bright light the viewfinder/screen becomes rather dark even with the lens wide open. Works just fine indoors but "grays out" when outdoors. This camera is new to me and did not come with an instruction manual. Any thoughts? Thanks, Steve
