As the heading says. I've tried using a mains power point and also via my computer. It transfers data, but doesn't charge.

The orange light goes on for a few seconds then disappears.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I’m sorry because I’m probably beating a dead horse. Long time photography lover. Most of you would laugh though because it’s all been with iPhone.

I’ve spent the last almost month trying to narrow down my first camera purchase. and it appears the A6700 + Tamron 17-70mm 2.8 lens is a great place to start.

I primarily intend to take pictures of people, cars, and landscapes.

I’m looking at about $2600 out the door, including a 256gb UHS ii sd card and 2 year protection plan included from my Best Buy membership.

I see myself having a lot of important moments in life over the next five-ish years. And love the idea of having much higher quality images of these moments.

I will only buy through Best Buy because of my membership.. I guess my last main question is..

would this be a good camera to learn on?

Ignoring weight am I making a mistake with this lens?

To immediately start using it, would I be good to just put it in an auto mode and start snapping pictures?

A huge use would be putting it on a tripod and setting a 10- second timer to capture pictures of my soon to be fiancé and myself.

Any advice would be appreciated greatly, and yes again I’ve spent way too much time online researching.

Thanks in advance!

Fairly new to photography, picked up an a6700 and Sigma 17-40 last month and started shooting. Please give a critique on my photo I want to improve more.

These are the pictures I took from my Paris trip. I am beginner photographer, so please provide me with the feedback. I am open to Criticism.

Ps: I have done a little colour grading

Gear: Sony NEX 5R with Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.5

Spent some time getting to know this seasons bear cubs here in Whistler, B.C.

This is the 3rd litter of cubs I’ve got to watch grow up from this same mother and I’m stoked they’re looking healthy heading into their first winter.

A1ii + 200-600 G OSS

Just grabbed this camera and lens combo recently. Some test shots around

Sony A6700 + Sigma 18-50 f2.8

So I want to buy a professional ish camera and after a long conversation with ChatGPT we settled on the a6700 with a Tamron 17-70 mm f/2.8 lens.

Thoughts? I have very little experience taking pictures with a professional camera. I mostly use my iphone 16 cam or instant film roll cams. Any advice?

Edit: Primarily I want to use this camera for taking
photos during trips or important occasions, but only for my own entertainment. Nothing serious for the moment, but my personal memories

Taken with my A6700 and either the 35mm GM or 200-600mm lenses

Sony A6400 | Sigma 30mm 2.8

LCD screen suddenly lost color and quality. Along with FN button not working. Camera still work fine otherwise. Any ideas.

I saw a post about the conflict between Sony and Capture One because of Capture One Express version for Sony and maybe that's the reason why Sony is NOT supporting their Compressed RAW formats to Capture One since A7V. I have no clues but

Tho Loseless compressed RAW is supported but Compressed RAW and Compressed HQ RAW are Sony's new proprietary format which requires Sony's support but since they are refusing that, Capture One can not support compressed RAW on their software. Reverse Engineering will not work due to the technical difficulties and legal issues.

Most importantly, there was a lawsuit between Sony users and Sony + Capture One from last year before A7V released. The case number is 3:25-cv-02305-WQH-SBC, Rodriguez v. Sony Electronics Inc***.*** Interestingly, they blamed each other in order to avoid legal responsibilities. Tho the case is closed, I dont think their relationship is as same as before.

Since then, A7V and A7R6 STILL didnt get support Compressed RAW on Capture One while RX10 V doesnt even support Capture One itself!!! It's almost one year since a new Compressed RAW came out so this is a serious problem after all. Capture One already answered this from their own forum that it has nothing to do with Compressed RAW support but to my eyes, they do especially since RX10 V doesn't even support Capture One even if it has uncompressed and loseless compressed options. It could be a serious problem for all future Sony cameras as long as Sony doesn't want their cameras supported on Capture One.

At this point, all Sony users are forced to use loseless compressed RAW on Capture One or use Adobe cause so far, they are the only one supporting Sony's new Compressed RAW formats. Since there are and were conflicts between Sony and Capture One, maybe that's the main reason why Sony is still refusing to support their Compressed RAW on Capture One? Because otherwise, it does NOT make any senses as no Sony's new Compressed RAW ever supported on Capture One for almost one year already. Maybe someone need to stand up and spread the world to resolve their conflicts.

Do you think Sony will stop supporting Capture One?

Hey Folks,

I‘m a Canon shooter now but thinking about switching to sony because of the lack of third party lenses on Canon RF mount. Especially the Sigma 300-600 f4. Also the Sony 50-150 f2.
Now I tested the Canon R5 Mark 2 last weekend for American Football and was amazed about the Eye Control AF. Do you think Sony’s AI Autofocus is as good as Canons approach? Cause that function was incredible and now I'm struggling. Thought about an a1 ii or a9 iii.

I shoot hybrid video/photo wildlife and am considering switching from the A7V to the A7R6, mainly for extra resolution for wildlife crops/prints, plus features like the tally light and shooting presets dial mode would be nice..

The A7V’s 4K60 looks incredible, but its cropped 4K120 is noticeably softer, even compared with my A7S III. Review comparisons suggest the A7R6’s full-frame 4K120 is softer still.

Despite watching and reading every review I could find, I haven’t found a comparison of the A7R6’s 4K120 in Super35/crop mode. Has anyone tested it against the A7V or A7S III?

Crop doesn’t bother me; I usually want more reach for wildlife slow motion. Detail is the priority. Something like the the Z9’s 1:1 4K120 with roughly a 2× crop would be ideal.

Thanks!

Crazy, crazy fun to use. Just watch out for your toes.

Please help. Beginner.

I got a Nex-5 and seeing so much conflicting info on using their party lenses. I got a ttartisan 35mm f1.8 and the aperature will not adjust from the camera body. There is no aperature ring to manually adjust, and camera will not focus.

I saw a video of a guy using a base Nex-5 with this exact lens it seems? So I figured it would be a safe bet seeing as it was recommended, and there were sample images. Aperature on the camera is just "f--"...and now I'm seeing stuff that these lenses don't change aperature via the camera body so how is it usable.

Sometimes the autofocus option will be greyed out in settings, other times it will not. But doesn't seem to function properly either way.

I’m in a serious mental debate right now … I currently have the a73 with the tamron 28-75 g2 lens… I’ve been pretty set on upgrading my body to the a7v but now i’m thinking of just upgrading to the Sony 24-70 GM II … Or should I just ball out and upgrade both ? I’m about 7 months into my photography business (portraits, family couples and weddings) I do have a wedding next weekend and another in april, I feel like a fraud shooting with an outdated body… any advice ?

finally moved to the A7V for sports photography. sold my sigma 17-40 f1.8 and kept some viltrox prime lenses for travel. the sigma was great but at that size it felt like a FF set up (weighs the same as A7v w 24-50 lol)

tbh, this made me realise sensor size doesn’t matter. full frame just has nicer quality of life features like 30fps/pre capture that’s useful for me

if anything, just goes to show how much the a6700 rocks!! but happy to have a dual camera set up now

Felt pretty happy with these, obviously just started so I still have a lot to learn 🫠

Tonight will be my first time shooting with the FX30. I've paired it with the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 lens. I'll be filming my son's volleyball game. This is my second year in the videography world. Would you guys change any settings ?

Current setting are in the image above.
