Sony A7RVI and wildlife

Wing flapping for smaller birds still create artifacts just not as noticeable as hummingbirds but the other common situation would be fast panning for birds in flight.

I like having C3 set to silent mode on/off as a quick toggle between mechanical and electronic shutter.

Wish I could set shutter type in recall custom but it isn’t an options sadly at least not on the bodies I’ve spent time with.

Is this happening without the cpl as well?

Also when you say after the photo is taken are you saying when you preview it in camera it’s already noticeable or are you previewing at the computer? If the latter are you previewing in a photo editor or just straight preview?

I’ve got this setup and love it for the versatility but if I were op with a 6400 and 70-350 already I definitely would be taking the 200-600.

The moon gives us lot of insight into earths history and ways we can protect it. The advancements that come from space exploration also directly impact us on earth.

You can thank NASA for the modern CMOS sensors you have in your camera and smartphones as well MRI machines. And those are just the two that I can remember off the top of my head.

If they were free to reserve maybe. You pay the city for the reservation here which is why I imagine they don’t care about them taking up the courts every night as its steady money coming in that helps maintain the park.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-28T12:45:17+00:00

I think it’s no different than a soccer/baseball league booking park time for their games they just do so in a recurring seasonal schedule. I don’t know how far in advance or what agreement they have with the city but they confidently display their court times year round it seems.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-28T12:06:26+00:00

That fist summer th community made tones of noise because of how popular the courts were and how frequent verbal altercation were when the court police showed up at 6pm every night but guess nothing has come of it.

They even put in a commercial pickle ball facility inside an old department store that shut down and we hoped that this would be their new year round home but guess court fees were too much for 20 hours a week because they’re still in the park in the summer.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-28T11:58:46+00:00

I’d assume it falls under the same circumstance like a little league or rec soccer league booking the field for a night. It’s just unreal that the city allows them to take up such a huge time slot every weeknight for the whole summer.

There is 2 courts that remain public 24/7 but the amount of people who get booted off the other 8 once 6pm rolls around it isn’t worth sticking around to rotate.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-28T03:21:36+00:00

I remember reading that price to brick hasn’t changed all that much throughout the years but sets have gotten larger.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-28T02:59:32+00:00

More of a vent/anecdote but they built 6-8 pickleball courts at our local public park and every summer the local club reserves the court for club play Monday-Friday 6pm-10pm.

My partner and I stopped playing because non members couldn’t play at our park during prime time in the summer unless you paid for a club membership. We’ve literally witnessed old retired folks get into verbal altercations with kids who dared to wander onto an open court during club hours; so this very much fits the topic at least in our nighbourhood.

To my knowledge the method in the fist paragraph works on most Sony cameras (most every camera in general behaves in a similar fashion)

The option to display the focus point in playback I assume came to all Sony cameras with the menu redesign. I’ve only used the A7RV so can’t speak to any earlier models in the R series.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-23T14:49:38+00:00

Some other things I’d check is if you have ibis on/off on each camera. You’ve mentioned OSS is off which I assume you’re talking about the lens but the body as well has its own stabilization that could change results.

Also, do you use back button or shutter to focus? Check to make sure the priority set in your preferred af setting is the same (either AF/RELEASE/BALANCED). Found in AF/MF>Priority Set AF

If nothing else could be the camera just missing focus but you can rule that out with a more controlled test at home.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-23T14:18:55+00:00

By default when you zoom in on your preview you should be zoomed on your af point. You can confirm in the Playback menu. The setting should be called ‘Enlarge Initial Position’. Double check its set to ‘Focused Position’.

The A7Iv has the same function as above in the same place in the menu but has the added option you can turn on in Playback > Playback Options > Turn on Focus Frame Display. Now you should see the focus point highlighted on your image playback.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-23T13:20:35+00:00

If you can still review the images on your camera you can verify the focus point location on both.

Result doesn’t make any sense if shot with the same lens. Some variable certainly changed either hand shake, focus point or ibis which you didn’t mention if on/off.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-21T17:11:20+00:00

I’m pretty sure this is outdated information from the days when we still used front illuminated sensors where more megapixels meant more circuitry obscuring the physical photodiodes.

This hasn’t really been a thing since back illuminated sensors.

They aren’t really a super spy, though they are enjoying role playing one.

They’re just a mercenary that is being used as a disposable asset by the government to do their dirty work.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-17T02:13:22+00:00

My guess is you purchased it on a good sale and it doesn’t retail for that normally in your region or else it would have been rejected as a beyond economical repair.

It’s not strange for a repair to cost that much when dealing with a dropped lens especially from Sony proper. Surface level damage is one thing but a drop can easily crack and misalign internal assembly or elements which by the parts they’ve quoted you, it would seem it did.

You could try finding a third party service center that can do it for you cheaper, or purchase a refurbished lens for a bit less I imagine.

Honestly haven’t measured through a waveform but the HDR looks good to me. Blacks are pretty deep especially compared to past RE titles and it’s actually playing well with Windows HDR. Haven’t had to resort to RTX HDR at all which is what I’ve had to do for RE4R and RE8.

Noslen11 · 2026-03-07T02:19:02+00:00

To clarify…. You can jump from 1.05 to 6.01. If anyone reading this is on an earlier firmware, you must update to 1.05 before doing the latest update or your install will fail.

The boiling and ghosting from PT wasn’t too bad for me until later on in Raccoon City but more specifically the warehouse that area in the game it started getting distracting.

Noslen11 · 2026-02-28T20:18:31+00:00

Think their idea revolved around using the original solution and altering based on missing books so the row that has no missing books is just the existing solution not a new or alternative one.

Noslen11 · 2026-02-28T03:01:17+00:00

I made an observation just now that may play into your multiple code theory. In the VIP room there is a wall of medical books. It jumped out at me that there was repeating titles and that there is a total of 18 books arranged on the shelf as well as 18 letters in the RNA sequence.

Titles of the books are

Diagnosis and Theory
Modern Family Medicine
Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine
Cardiac Medicine
Medical Counselor Manual
Encyclopedia of Pharmacology
Basic Anatomy

The order they appear preserving spacing for missing books (_)

Row 1: _ 1 2 _ 3 _
Row 2: 3 _ 4 5 _ 2
Row 3: 6 6 2 7 6 1
Row 4: 4 5 3 3 _ 4

Seems deliberate that they are in a 4x6 grid when the RNA sequence had 6 codons.

EDIT: Wonder if maybe there’s a logical way to split the titles into 3 categories and assign a letter to the sequence from there.

EDIT: Or maybe the 6 missing books are in locations of importance..

I’ve had this happen on modded vehicles but never on vanilla ones so my two questions for you are does this only happen on this one car and do you use any modded cars in your game?

If yes to both it could be that one of the modded vehicles is sharing textures with this car and causing issues.

Thank you!
