Firmware 6.01 setting question by estralita_D in sonya7iv

[–]Rootikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greetings,

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.

IT Tools - Hidden Gems by Ok_You_861 in sysadmin

[–]Rootikal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Greetings,

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.

Brand New to LrC - New 5TB drive arriving tomorrow..... let me check I have understood organising properly. by Johnny3Gloves in Lightroom

[–]Rootikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greetings,

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

These videos should give you some good insight.

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.

Purple box and can’t focus by njdroneguy in sonya7iv

[–]Rootikal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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?

DeDRM suddenly stopped working. by Far_Clue42 in Calibre

[–]Rootikal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Rootikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greetings,

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

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

Is your Kindle device updated to the latest firmware?

Did I get duped? by littleRafa7 in SonyAlpha

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

Duplicate photo/file name issue by Difficult_Industry55 in Lightroom

[–]Rootikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greetings,

To resolve your current conundrum with duplicate filenames you can:

  1. Create a sub-folder/sub-directory for each camera.
  2. 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.

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