Yes, law became effective April 1.
I think Talley clarified all of this in a subsequent reply, you really should read past the original post.

The battery when stored must drain to 30% capacity within 4 days of use as mandated by the federal government. Seriously? TeamSpeed wrote in post #18162751 Yes, law became effective April 1.

Good luck. I've been busy this week so haven't had time to do any shooting. I still think the 70-200 and my 100L have issues with the left sided points though Camera, some lenses, too little time, too little talent

Why would a camera in sleep mode or off keep asking if a lens is attached? Perhaps it isn't the camera that is asking; the TC might be designed to always talk to the lens when it has power to do so, and the camera always supplies power to the TC so that the whole system can wake up and be ready to shoot faster. The absence of a lens makes the TC stay awake more, asking, "Hello? Hello? Hello? Anylens there?".

I had it configured to toggle between 'one shot' and 'servo AF'. Any time I wanted a quick change of mode, I just pressed in with my third finger tip. However, the button has moved downwards on the mkIV. It's now beyond my third finger, lying across from my little finger... which is too short to reach it! To reach it now, I have to change my whole grip on the camera and squidge down and across with my third finger. Why did they move it? Col really? I dont really notice the move dramatically impacting my use. However, maybe you should swicth to back button focusing, and just have it on AI servo 100%. I am testing that method out, and man, is it so much better... so far Body: Sony a7R IV
