So I ordered it and redeemed the code on my account and then got an email that said "We credited your account with 366 free day(s) of service. The adjustment will be deducted from your next invoice ". So I assume this means my Direct Debit won't kick-in again until this annual upfront payment is...

I was on a rolling subscription as far as I know, so if I added it on, would it mean I'd stop paying for 12 months? Or I need to cancel if I'm on the rolling subscription model?

Quick question - if I am currently paying the £9.99 monthly, do I just cancel that and buy this? What do I do once I buy the the Amazon one as I don't want to uninstall/reinstall the software if possible?

Thanks so much for this - finally I have my secondary monitor calibrated to match my main one without spending more money on the Spyder Elite (I have the Express 4).

I did later on and it seemed fine (ironically in worse light!). Not sure what changed. Why would it freeze though - camera issue or lens issue? Or hard to tell?

No, shutter focus was off.

Sorry to barge in with a question but can I ask people what their settings are for portraits on the A7iii? I've been mainly using Eye-AF or at least AF-ON to focus when in general but today the AF-ON button was completely unresponsive (either in AF-A or AF-C) using the Samyang 50mm (autofocus...

Yup, holding down AEL did the trick. For some reason I thought you just turned it on and of with a single press instead of holding it down. Makes much more sense now!

Do you hold that down or the AF-ON? The last video I watched suggested you hold down the AF-ON but I have a feeling that might be for an older model or something. Lenses are great BTW, thanks again!

Hi everyone, been lurking here a while reading up whilst awaiting delivery of my A7III which came today! So far, very pleased with it from the few test shots I've done around the house of my wife and daughter. However, I'm having a hard time to get the Eye AF set-up properly even after watching...

Yup, I only have one lens left to sell of my Nikon kit. Having seen the price of some of the lenses for Sony (not even the G Master ones) I've spent the afternoon reading up on other mirrorless systems to see if I can convince myself of some other cheaper option (e.g. the Panasonic lenses look...

Yeah, I will probably wait a bit longer. Just got an itchy trigger finger!

To answer my own question, looks like it lists the Sony A7 range under Compact Systems Cameras (even though in their menu they have the option for Mirrorless). Annoyingly the Add To Basket button doesn't seem to work on my computer so seems like fate is conspiring against me to stop me buying it!

Wondering if anyone bought a mirrorless camera (e.g. a Sony A7X type) via Top Cashback at Jessops? If so, which option did you choose (since it only lists DSLRs and CSCs) and did it track and pay out the cashback okay? Looking to pre-order a Sony A7III and this looks like the cheapest option...

I converted unwanted airmiles to amazon.com voucher (there was no option for a co.uk option) and bought a battery pack from there. I was charged tax and import duty but amazon.com refunded it but in the form of credit there. I ended up using it to buy something else and same happened again. Some...
