Trek of Joy Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I asked Gordon Liang if the a7r3 LCD dimmed and he said no - he specifically checked for it at the launch event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax_rox Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 For reference, my A7sII doesnt do this in any way. I bought mine this year and it is running newer firmware. YMMV, but I've not experienced this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's a particular setting that triggers it that I don't use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted November 12, 2017 Super Members Share Posted November 12, 2017 Could it be because you have your screen brightness on medium or something from the start? What happens if you put it on maximum and then record? Ive had the A7sii but can't remember any such issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is highly unlikely that your camera does not do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is highly unlikely that your camera does not do this. I'll check screen brightness settings and test again. FWIW, I've never felt the need to change the screen brightness, even when shooting in 'sunny weather'. Based on the video, it looks as though you could quite easily mistake things for properly or overexposed in the bright monitor setting when it reality it isn't. I think I'd personally rather an accurate depiction of exposure. But I'll test anyway and see if I can replicate. As always YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony should at least give us the choice... My choice was to buy a sombrero!!! Works great at keeping the LCD in shade. The only problem is... now my balls keep getting caught behind the tilting screen... jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put it on sunny weather, then record 4K, the dimming is noticeable. In 4K, it probably dims the screen to default (zero) brightness, because the dimming is only noticeable if your screen was originally set to sunny weather (which is probably +2 brightness).
