Thank you for your advice.

Says somebody that hides under the name of "user id" You are clueless of what you are saying.
You are talking without having information, you don't even know what you are talking about.

If you are not going to help, please stay quiet. I don't need your condescending opinion.

DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK

Is there a sony representative in this blog? It's been so frustrating, a 2500.00 lasting a year and a half.

What a piece of crap.

I bought this camera about 1.5 years ago at B&H, thinking that it would be a great camera.
I have only used it for events. I keep it very secure when not in use, and I take care of it like a baby, and this is applicable to all of my equipment.

About 30 days ago, I started hearing a click-click sound inside. I turned if off, then back on, removed the battery, then it would work for 20 minutes and the clicking sound started again. Then the screen would go black and would only focus on very bright lights. I would restart it, again to 20 minutes of work.
I called sony, they told me to reboot it for 30 seconds and update the software, I did.

The same thing happened again. I am so frustrated.
I called sony again, they will not honor the warranty because it's past the year (just a couple of months).

The first time I called they said they would do an exception and cover it, then when I called again the Filipino lady that answered said that they will not cover it.

She would not give me the number to public relations and she was closed-minded and did not really know anything other than saying no.

I am so frustrated, I paid about 2500.00 for this camera, and now it's a piece of junk.

Please help! Anybody with a similar experience?
I have NEVER had this experience with my CANON cameras!!

I can always count with the experts on this forum! Thank you so much!

This is one of the nonesense pictures that it took.
Please hel!

Also. Sometimes when i press the shutter, i hear a clicking sound inside the camera. 😞

With lens 70 to 28

My camera went nuts yesterday, it went black, was not focusing and i could inly see the very bright parts of the picture. Its on automatic and it usually results in well exposed pictures. I attached a picture of the setting when it malfunctioned. I am so disappointed i just bought it about 1.5 years ago.
Anyone with the same experience?

Got to Titusville,,,,many opportunities there.

Lake apopka more than 300 species of birds. Titusville. The entire state is a photograph opportunity.

Ok, I have some answers, please don't judge me for whatever stupidity I committed, now that I see the ISO.

Flash power is from 1/1 to 1/64 the huge flash. I played with the power.

Camer was set to auto :(
Overexposed readings are:

f4.0
1/160
iso 10000
sony aiii7

f3.5
1/160
iso12800

Thank you for your help!

By the way gentlemen, I am a she...in Texas

Yes user error, that's why I am here...

This is exactly what happened.... and I could only back up until I hit the wall.

So the question, how to synchronize the shutter speed with the flash?
