Was out shooting the other day and my camera started acting funky.
I was carrying the Sony A7RIII / Sony 24-105 setup on a rapid sling strap. Had taken photos earlier and all was fine. Then, at some point, the camera went into manual mode, raw format, and some other settings I can't remember now. I went into the menu settings and it wouldn't let me change the format to raw + jpg, couldn't change the ISO, the date was reset to factory settings, the list goes on. Couldn't change anything using the FN button.
Tried turning it off, pulling the battery, with no luck.
Finally on a hunch I took the lens off and reseated it. Voila! I guess I bumped it just right to loosen the lens mount at some point?
10 minutes of a wide range of emotions (fear, anger the two big hitters!).
Not fun. But a lesson on what to check first if I ever get in this situation again. :-) |
