Thanks again
I am really going to struggle for the next six weeks, as my camera (A7RII) just developed a major problem with the shutter curtain sticking shut and the camera going into a sort of meltdown ERROR mode. Which I have now found out on the internet, is quite a common problem with ALL Sony mirrorless cameras it seems.
Oh and of course it started doing it on the very first day I was there, of a five day shoot right across the Cairngorms - aarrgghh!!!
But at least I was still able to continue to limp along with it, by first giving it a bash that was hard enough to release the curtain and then putting the camera into 'Silent Shutter Mode', which is very restricting and also drops the quality down somewhat, but at least I could still keep going, because in this mode, it doesn't use the curtain at all.
Anyhoo, it is now going off for repair down to the South of the UK, even though I am now being told it could take anywhere up to 6 whole weeks before it is sent back to me repaired, because they will have to dismantle it into tiny pieces to look at it and then order the replacement parts, clean it and reassemble it - aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!
Goodness me, I am already starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms...
