Made the move from Canon to Sony by purchasing the a7 III.

 

Unfortunately, the second time I turned on the camera I got an error that said "Camera Error. Turn Power of then on."  Turning the power off and then on results in the same error.

 

If you quickly flip the power switch off and on, like less than half a second, then the camera powers normally.  I have seen some youtube fixes for this type of error, mentioning the the IBIS.  However, those don't seem to fix this error.

 

Attached is link to a 0:11 movie clip show the power on process, the image glitches slightly, and then the "Camera Error. Turn Power of then on." 

 

Anyone else with a A7 III experience this?  Any fixes?

 

First impression was, man this camera focuses fast!  Second impression was that this sucks.  My Canon 5D mk II and mk IV never fail me.

Return it. Stick with Canon or switch to a proven 

model from Sony. The a7-II is very wallet friendly 

these days. 

Maybe related to IBIS.

 

 

I would return it.

There is this more drastic one, too:
