Weird behaviour on Sony Alpha 7

Post by Railrun »

I was trying to timelaps of the sunrise. But I wasn‘t able to set the min Iso. It was only an 1 available. So the App lower the ISO until it reached Auto-ISO. The funny thing, I was able to reproduce it for one time, but now everything works fine. May be it‘s a matter which button I press first.
I‘m also not able to change the shutter-time with the +/- buttons. Reference and ISO works perfect.

Hope this helps to improve this awesome App

The ISO values where not initialized.
Before you enter the LrTimelapse screen wait that the camera is initialized (you see in the lower left corner when the values are loaded).
On what platform is this? What qDslrDashboard version?

Forgive me.

hubaiz, Will there be an update happening at some point? I recently switched to a A7RIII from Nikon and I can't seem to get dslrdashboard to work with either my ios app or osx.

Thanks.

Well dang. I always just checked the home page and never saw an update after V3.5.3. Thank you very much for helping me with my stupidity of not checking the actual download page.

For iOS. What is the latest version once following those steps? v3.5.3?

I have the same above problem as the OP. Can this be solved with a future update of dslrdashboard or is this a limitation of the Sony?

Camera: Sony A7RII, latest Firmware und latest update of the Smart Controll App
Smartphone and OS: iPhone 6, latest IOS
dslardashboard: current version (downloaded about a week ago)

Thanks

Any progress on this?
I'm experiencing the same issue with my Sony A7II

I tried to do an "Auto holy grail - sunrise" timelapse sequence. "Min ISO" box specified "100", yet the app seemed to ignore this value, and instead of increasing shutter speed, it kept lowering ISO below 100, until it reached "Auto ISO", which overblew the exposure and completely messed up my timelapse.

Do you use the latest version?
Did qDslrDashboard read the shutter/ISO/aperture values before you entered the LrTimelapse screen?
Do you use the latest version of the 'Smart remote control' Playmemories camera application ( https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/ ... _00-F00002 )
