Sony A7x lounge

what issue are you talking about? can't tell much from a picture of backscreen.

The black bars that are on the screen?

I have not noticed that, typically when I am using the grip I am shooting a lot, so I expect the batteries to not last long. But overly fast draining, I have not experienced that.

yesterday i had a shoot. i know my batteries are still charged. but when i start doing my test shots, both batteries were dead. good thing i brought extra batteries.

Oh that... Now I see it... Sorry but that looks like a faulty mechanical shutter...

but it works outside
it also worked inside sometimes
but outside it works 100%
inside its just having problems focusing and sometimes that happened
not all the shots were like that tho?

were you using manual flash or something? if flash doesn't sync properly you can capture the shutter too..

no flash
ambient lighting
outside was 100% natural lighting
I understand how HSS and stuff works
this has nothing to do with artificial lighting
its purely the camera

if your sure its purely the camera, then you have a faulty shutter

but I don't understand why it works everywhere else besides the indoor high ISO situation?
Wouldn't it not work at all?

It even works high ISO outdoors

Just not indoors.
I can see the shutter like move across the screen as I'm focusing....
but only inside?

Are you using electronic first curtain shutter? It looks like an extreme case of banding. Indoor lighting can cause issues with electronic shutters.

on and off
same thing both times
I can re test that theory again real quick
but yeah

Also test out silent mode so you can see if the mechanical shutter is the issue.

I Just shot like 50 photos in my house at the same exact settings with just window light and no issues....

like wtf is this

Then I just shot this in my house with the same settings and less ambient light/underexposed
did 50 of these and all were fine
didn't even have problems focusing like I was in the other place?
