Strange it should work for sure, with A7 iii it's even easier than a7 ii. Are you sure you did follow all these steps exactly? Mount your Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 lens onto your Sony alpha series camera Ensure your camera is powered on and in Aperture Priority (A) mode. Set your camera to use manual focus mode Set your aperture to f/4.5 Holding the camera so that the screen faces your body, turn the focus ring clockwise (right) until you see it reach the minimum focus distance. Once you've reached the minimum focus distance, continue to rotate the ring an additional 4 complete rotations. Take a photo and allow the camera a moment to write to your SD media The moment the image is written, power down the camera and remove the battery for at least 3 seconds. Re-insert the battery and power the camera back on. You should now be able to open the aperature up all the way to f/1.6
@blauertreter003 жыл бұрын
Hey man, I don't know if it worked for you, but I turned my focus ring so many times... Then the aperture indicator was lit up orange, then I took the foto, shut down the camera and took of the battery, maybe you should try this.
