you could try spending less time here for a startThat one photo is probably already 40% of the total images I’ve posted here from my Sony A9.
I really need to get my a**e is gear and get using my system!

Charge via usb CThe 1st annoyance, the mini (or micro) USB socket is really close to the flap so if you use it to charge it squeezes into the little stalk that holds it in place.

It'll be a great addition.
Which is why I ditched the A7II and bought another A6000.A6000 is much better
A7R III - odd "issue".
However, it may not be an issue and most likely some setting. I have the camera set to AF-S mode and I would expect to set the focus when I either back button press or half press shutter button. Face detect is also off.
So anyway, if I look at different points such as a door handle 4-5 feet away or something else 10 feet away the camera will try and automatically focus- but I'm not pressing anything? I can override this by setting the lens to MF but its annoying - even does it in DMF.
It doesn't sound like a major problem until you do Video and then the camera is trying to focus on different points when panning or worse just hunt for a split second every second or so.
Anyone know what could be causing this? I assume its some AF setting somewhere.
Pre-af?
Do you guys have this Pre-af on I not too sure if I want it on or not
I can't see any point to it to be honest but there will be scenarios where someone will need it. Its good it can be switched off though.
I not seen it working as I though it should though I though when you compose the camera without touching anything the camera start auto focus
Edit. Ah it dies but not quick but nothing I would want on anyway
And a7r3 it's to do with preventing focus shiftI highly doubt it will be added as a firmware update, it could be down to sensor read-out design etc.
All the Sony bodies exhibit this excluding the Sony A9.

OK listen all.No problems here with the a7R2, 1600 shots fired off at Goodwood yesterday, many of which were 1/20 pans etc. More often than not up around f20 and it performed exactly as I would have hoped.
I've only edited a few so far but:

Held up admirably through very heavy snow as well. Lots of hunting as to be expected when you can barely see the subject at times, but once it locked it hung on well.
I know mike but im not the one saying he should post more picsI just compared your posting stats and membership time. I wouldn't be shouting too loud if I were you
A6000,looking for quality lens. FL around 35mm FF equiv.any recs?
OK listen all.
Pre 3.00 fw in the a7r2 etc they all focused fine in afc but when fw 3.0 released it butchered the AFC! It took them until fw 4 to fix it again.(check the release notes)
Come on you can do better than that. Get a a7iii
Like a sheep?
A7iii in my opinion is overkill for personal use. I think if I wasn't planning on going into some sort of paid photography then A6*** series would be perfect.
Quality vs price they offer more than most.
Sony do the APS-C 24mm f1.8 which is apparently a very nice lens. It's not cheap but not horrendously expensive either.A6000,looking for quality lens. FL around 35mm FF equiv.any recs?
Andrew,as much as I would love an A7iii I dont have the disposable income like most on here,im just a poor pensioner with a wife kids and 10 cats to support,Come on you can do better than that. Get a a7iii
Sony do the APS-C 24mm f1.8 which is apparently a very nice lens. It's not cheap but not horrendously expensive either.
TBH the lack of a decent compact 24mm f1.8 is one thing that puts me off the A6xxx line.
Looks more like a compact
yes Gary but Andrew was just giving his opinionI don't have a Sony but this thread is super busy and entertaining - reading this, genuinely curious - does it matter if a camera looks like a compact, or indeed, is a compact ? Isn't it the results that you get from the camera that matters, not what it looks like ?

Alan ,either it is or it isn't a nice 24mm 1.8? which is it ?Sony do the APS-C 24mm f1.8 which is apparently a very nice lens. It's not cheap but not horrendously expensive either.
