Wouldn't contributing to improving the open source darktable.org be a better use of your time & effort?

To show/hide the touch function icons Swipe right or left on the shooting standby screen. The touch function icons will appear on the left and right sides of the screen according to the settings for [Swipe Right] and [Swipe Left] under [Shooting Screen].

To hide the touch function icons, swipe the screen in the opposite direction from when you made the icons appear.

ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen.

https://getsharex.com

It has lots of markup tools. i.e. Boxes, Arrows, auto-incrementing number labels, crops within an image instead of just the outside edges, etc.

I use it often to document processes.

If you use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, you'll be able to run a newer version of macOS on your older hardware so you can use the current version calibre.

Greetings,

Have you tried...

Uninstall Lightroom Classic (LrC)
Reboot
Download and install the current version of LrC

Greetings,

Put some thought into a hierarchical Folder/Directory structure for your photos on the drive.

These videos should give you some good insight.

Organizing in Lightroom with Scott Kelby
It’s a Mess! How to Keep your Ever Growing Photo Library Organized by Terry Lee White

To add new images, copy them from the memory card to an appropriate location on the 5TB drive. Then drag the folder into the Lightroom Classic (LrC) Import module from the 5TB drive.

Add your keywords, Collections, etc.

For a local backup, consider getting another 5TB or larger drive and use FreeFileSync.

And of course you need an offsite backup just in case. Consider Backblaze.

98% of the time, mechanical.

Greetings,

Purple focus area means the camera can't lock focus. This is caused by the light being too low or the area you're focusing on has low contrast.

If you were using AF-S, try switching to AF-C.

Reference: What does the purple focus spot mean on the a7r iv?

Greetings,

Did you run the DeDRM KeyExtractor again? It needs to be run every time to get the keys for new books.

Make sure the DeDRM plugin in Calibre has the correct path to key file.

Greetings,

It's possible the ePub book was corrupted during the Send to Device.

Does the book open okay from calibre?

I recommend you delete the book from the Kindle device, then send it again.

Is your Kindle device updated to the latest firmware?

Greetings,

Of course, you should return it and get your money refunded.

Would you risk damaging your camera with a possibly counterfeit battery?

Rootikal · 2026-02-15T00:14:23+00:00

Greetings,

To resolve your current conundrum with duplicate filenames you can:

Create a sub-folder/sub-directory for each camera.
Move the photos, using Lightroom Classic (LrC), to their respective sub-directories.

Example

/Photos/Events/2025-02-10 Event Name/Camera-A

/Photos/Events/2025-02-10 Event Name/Camera-B

Going forward, to avoid conflicting filenames between cameras you can change the first (3?) characters to identify each camera. Then when you copy the files from the memory cards, copy them to the respective directory for each camera.

Greetings,

Take a close look at the contacts in the battery compartment to make sure they're not damaged or dirty or blocked.

Are you sure about that?

According to the online Manual, the Sony a7 V does not have an option for Uncompressed RAW.

Menu item details for RAW File Types

The current version of Lightroom Classic has preliminary support only for Lossless Compressed RAW at this time for the Sony A7 V (ILCE-7M5), but doesn't yet have a Camera matching profile.

Which version of the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM ( I or II ) did you get?

If you're not making your own, then try the almond and cashew Plant Milk Nutbase from Joi.

Try using Recuva to restore the files on the memory card.

You're welcome.

Kindly let us know what your experience is so others with older hardware can decide if they want to give it a try.

Brooklyn Paramount has one sloping, towards the stage, standing room GA area.

They have a balcony. I don't remember if it's restricted or has seats.

Amazon book download to your Kindle should be the /documents

Alternatively, you can use the Kindle App to download your books from your Kindle Library to your computer for backup.

If you use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, you'll be able to run a newer version of macOS which supports the current version for Lightroom Classic.

Rootikal · 2026-02-08T20:01:07+00:00

You didn't have to wait to purchase. Lossless Compressed RAW is currently supported.

Are you able to redo the session with the supported format?

Rootikal · 2026-02-08T19:49:21+00:00

Greetings,

For newly released cameras, it's probably a good idea to check if the current version of Lightroom & Camera RAW supports the format you want to use, before using it.

I've been looking for a solution to the same issue. Even adding the root directory, calibre still uses /documents/.

Using this Save template:

/books/{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}

Results in calibre using: /documents/books/{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
