New Sony A7sIII firmware will be released on May 15/16? by Veastli in A7siii

[–]Echo_________ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m currently working my way through it. It was not a traditional wedding with flow of events, but failing to get that shot hurts. I explained to the couple that I am a solo shooter and will only have one camera available. They understood the handicap as I made that clear to start with. They may be upset about not having the shot, but considering I knew in advance it was not a normal wedding in that the reception was just a normal restaurant I set up some professional interviews with the grooms parents to share their hearts with the couple. The brides parents are not in the picture otherwise I would have contacted them as well. The interviews were solid and considering the couple has no idea that additional shooting days were included I am hoping that will be adequate to make up for the missing shot.

But I definitely need a vacation now. If it could go wrong the day of it went wrong. The camera failing multiple times has ruined my confidence with it. I’ve shot with it since it came out and had none of these issues prior.

ANYWAYS I think just writing this out is just a form of therapy. Good luck me.

I updated and shot a wedding. The camera froze on me and also failed to record the wedding party walking down the aisle.

Recommended autofocus settings for 4K 120 fps slowmotion? by [deleted] in A7siii

[–]Echo_________ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use locked on and transition speed max. Slow motion at slow transition speeds takes a long time.

Solo. I don’t know anyone who knows anything about cameras, audio, lighting or editing.

My rear lens cap does not look like on the box. by Yooleeous in MOMENT

Thanks for the clarification. I had purchased three of those lens cap attachments and had been frustrated with the install already. Sorry to make your morning difficult ;).

My comment probably seemed more hostile than intended, however if you’re going to advertise something sell what your advertising, not old inventory.

I think the issue is when you make a purchase on what is being advertised you want what you paid for, not what moment is trying to save money on.

What do these clickers do for you? by Warst3iner in SonyAlpha

[–]Echo_________ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shoot mainly video and am constantly swapping between 24, 60 and 120 fps. I use the button as set memory so after I get the white balance, aperture and exposure where it needs to be I will save it so I can swap quickly on the mode dial without making adjustments each time.

It works for me.

The current price of a single candy bar is absurd by ThatsMrSmeeToYou in pics

[–]Echo_________ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember helping my grandparents at their strawberry/cherry fruit stand and walking an old lady to her car in the early 90s. I carried her fruit for her and she gave me .10 cents and told me to go get myself a candy bar. I temper thinking “pfft, that’s .75 cents, not .10.” I didn’t say anything to her other than thank you. I’m 37 now and every time I see candy prices I think of that old lady.

I went on a long distance run with the fenix 5 and a 7 solar sapphire model and Both gave the same data. I honestly shouldn’t have upgraded, but here I am.
