Title: Sony a7R / a7R II and studio flash- dark viewfinder/monitor-any solution?
Post by: RomanN. on October 19, 2015, 11:58:56 am

Hi,
I wanted to use my Sony a7R  and a7R II with studio flash.
The problem is that the monitor and viewfinder stay dark, what is logical: the camera measured the avaiable light at M and dont understant that I will use strong flash light. Is there any solution? ( accept very strong light in the studio what will be not really possible in my case) I there any function that let the Sony stay on maximal brightness independent of the surrounding light.
