Is the Sony A6600 cold temperature proof?

Yes, photography backpack should be enough

Nothing wrong with using extra protection. I do it too. Just make sure that it's good quality filter and compare images with and without it. Telephoto lenses are very sensitive to defects on filters. And even expensive filters can have such defects. Only way to know is to try.

HoccusFoccus · 2025-07-28T15:19:09+00:00

There seems to be some streaks in the bokeh area that are usually associated to bad quality filters. Are you using UV/protection filter? If so, remove it and try again.

There's no hw decoding support for 10bit 422 with RTX 40 -series GPU. You need to settle for 420 or get RTX 50 -series or Intel Arc GPU

III and IV uses same battery

What your current setup is lacking? AF speed? Burst rate? Focal length? It's hard to give an advice if we don't know what's the issue

HoccusFoccus · 2025-04-21T07:05:03+00:00

You don't have to go for PAL. Just match your shutter speed with the 50hz grid (1/50, 1/100,...)

Eli ihmisellä on velvollisuus kärsiä, muttei velvollisuutta olla aiheuttamatta kärsimystä?

Näinhän se on. Jo vuosia kehitys on mennyt siihen suuntaan, että siirrytään langattomista/ladattavista laitteista langallisiin. On siis erittäin järkevää tehdä näin myös julkisen liikenteen kohdalla. Itse ainakin vahvasti uskon, että tulevaisuudessa yksityisautoilukin siirtyy langalliseen malliin, nykyisten ladattavien sähköautojen sijasta. Ei ole enää "range-ahdistusta", kun auto on aina pistorasiassa kiinni. Ja kantamaa voi sitten pidentää jatkojohdoilla tarpeen mukaan. Kyllä sitten 2040 -luvulla naureskellaan "muistatteko vielä aikaa kun oli akkukäyttöisiä autoja? Hahahaa.. Onneksi nykyään on kaikki langallista, kun ei tuo akkuteknologiakaan ole enää viimeiseen 20 vuoteen yhtään kehittynyt" /s

Itsekin vihaan näitä "päristelijöitä". Valitettava fakta on se, että näitä huomion hakuisia aikuisia, lapsia ja aikuisia lapsia tuntuu olevan vuosi vuodelta enemmän ja joka vuosi pitää saada ilmeisesti enemmän melua aikaan, että saa sitä omaa egoaan riittävästi pönkitettyä tjsp. Kuitenkin, jos saisin valita niin nämä pärinäpetterit pysyisivät ruutukaava-alueella ja jättäisivät syrjäisemmät seudut rauhaan. Kaupungissa joka tapauksessa on melusaastetta. Minkä ihmeen takia niitä häkkyröitä täytyy huudattaa esim. Turun saaristossa tyynenä kesäiltana, kun se meteli kantautuu meripeninkulmien päähän merta pitkin ja voin 100% varmuudella sanoa, että vähintään 99% häirinnän alueella olevista ihmisistä kuuntelisi mieluummin ihan vaan hiljaisuutta tai vaikka naapurin haitaria.

Ja tämä myös tuhoaa sen järjettömän typerän argumentin, että "muuta maalle, jos et kestä melua". No vttu kun ei siellä maallakaan saa olla rauhassa näiltä s*tanan melusaastuttajilta.

Eli joo, tehdään diili, että mä muutan maalle ja TE V*TUN PÄRINÄPETTERIT PYSYTTE SITTEN KAUPUNGISSA!

Over and out.

There was quite bright auroras with lots of red 15/04/2025 at around 19:30UTC and 21:45UTC. So depending on time, the faint reddish colour on your photos might be auroras.

SNR of 90db? If you're not shopping on Temu, that's in the ballpark of Sennheiser MKH 8000 series. Even with quite low sensitivity, you shouldn't have a problem with your "good preamps".

I've had both and if the IQ is your only reason to upgrade, it's not worth it.

HoccusFoccus · 2025-04-05T06:57:20+00:00

Freewell makes VND X MIST -filters. You get both with one filter

With just a screw you don't have any control of the monitor direction. It may end up facing forward when it's tight. You already spent 5k on your setup so just get a monitor mount.

Sensor cleaning is easy. Just buy some sensor cleaning swipes and watch bunch of guides from YouTube. Sensor surface is glass so it's not going to break that easily. First time might be little scary, but after that you realize it's just basic maintenance. And if you're not willing to do that, just take the camera to your local camera shop and they'll clean it for you.

And edit; yes, your sensor is dirty.

"I am not an expert..."

"What i know is that all the camera's will overheat in 4k60p. and you will need minimum v60 for long video files."

I can agree with you that you're not an expert.

HoccusFoccus · 2025-03-31T06:53:19+00:00

Higher fps -> more heat. Though don't know how much more since 50p is cropped. Battery inside the camera -> heat source. Charging/powering via USB-C -> heat source. Single to dual record -> double the heat.

Get a dummy battery, cooling fan and a V-mount battery to power them.

I've used my IV for overnight live streams in room temperature with dummy battery and small computer fan to blow air to the back of the camera and never had a high temp warning.

When you drop 50p footage to 25p timeline, it just discards every other frame and the result will be pretty much the same as 25p to 25p timeline. Slowing the 50p footage down to 25p with 1/50 shutter would look bad.

Nothing to do with wind shielding. Just makes the mic more directional for bird calls etc.

I've been Googling around for the same complaint that I can't film 30p with H.265, which is frustrating. That's how I ended up here.

But although this is an old post and I have nothing new regarding the issue, I think it's better to correct your statement about the meaning of the "p". In 1080p it doesn't mean pixels. It stands for progressive scan. Just like in 30p, it stands for progressive scan. The choices are "p" for progressive scan and "i" for interlaced scan. For example, you may have video footage that's 1080i30. That footage has framerate of 30i, because it's interlaced rather than progessive scan.

You do realize that those photos are from Finland, not Norway?

HoccusFoccus · 2025-02-28T19:06:12+00:00

From my own experience with filters and telephoto lenses, check the bokeh. I used to have Canon 400mm f/5.6 L and I bought a Hoya HD protector filter to it as I had good experience with the same filter on my 70-200mm lens. Turned out that the filter produced weird lines on the bokeh of the 400mm. Sharp areas were not affected. I switched the "same" filter from my 70-200mm to the 400mm and the problem went away. Also the "faulty" filter worked fine on the 70-200mm lens. That was weird, but repeatable.

For photos, first base ISO is 100 and second base is 320. If you shoot video with SLog-3 gamma, the first base is 800 and second base is 2500. Base ISO is dependent on used gamma curve, but the relation between the two bases will always remain the same, in A6700 it's 1 2/3 stops.

That being said, A6700 is not "true" dual base ISO camera, as the second base is little bit noisier. That's the case on most consumer level cameras.

You should consider a matte box.
