A failing power supply can cause these symptoms.

Wonder if that can be included in i-menu if you use flash often?

Custom Settings menu, d8 apply settings to live view.

This was years ago when I was first learning off camera flash. Best I can remember there were two bare flash on stands and one handheld.

I got into evf with the Sony A57. Had the Canon T2i at the same time. Took both out to shoot at the same time. The Canon would still focus a little later into dusk than the Sony. Other than that, I was ready to throw the T2i in the trash. The full time live view even in the evf, the wysiwyg and focus peaking were major reasons why. Viewing in bright sunlight is not a problem through the evf. Just my opinion though.

This will be controversial but I'm speaking from experience. I went from the Canon Rebel series to the Sony DSLT's. The evf and full time live view made going back impossible. The Sony A68 is $600 body only and has evf, ibis, mfa, 79 point pdaf, both face and eye detect af, and can mount Minolta a-mount lenses natively. The 70-210 f4.0 "Beercan" lens can be had for around $110 and the 50 f1.7 around $50. I would opt for the kit lens bundle to get cheap 18mm wide angle for landscapes too.

This image helps explain what I was referring to in this post. Light rays from point 2 converge on the sensor plane as a point and are therefore in focus. Rays from points 1 and 3 are farther and nearer than the focal point and create out of focus patterns. When the aperture is introduced it blocks part of the oof rays and creates a less blurry image on the sensor plane.

To answer the op's question, evf for wysiwyg, on sensor focal plane focus so no mfa required, less moving parts so cheaper to build (only applies to manufacturer since prices are the same or more expensive).

Thanks for replying to my original question Ron. This all stems from my desire to use unusual aperture designs and the effect they would have. What if the aperture blade weren't totally opaque but started off transparent and gradually became opaque what effect would that have on bokeh. Is this how STF lenses work? I'm under the impression there is a focal point where the image converges and this would be an idea place to place such an aperture. Just my 2 cents.

May I ask what information prompted you to ask this question? That way maybe we can get your topic back on track. Hopefully someone can help with out hijacking your thread.

Was wondering if the aperture was near the focal point of the lens. If so, the in-focus image passes through a small point and the farther you get from this point the less focused the light would be. Hard to find reliable information on the subject. Maybe someone who understands lens design can chime in.
