Title: Sony startup time differences
Post by: PeterAit on February 16, 2021, 10:45:33 am

I was chatting with another Sony A7-R3 user and he was complaining about slow (3-5 sec) startup times. Mine are much faster - perhaps 1 sec. What might cause this difference? Thanks.

It has been noticed that SD cards, i.e., type, size, and formatting (in-camera vs. computer), may influence the startup times.

Interesting. I am going to do some tests with my cameras and with the cards I have lying around.
