im preparing my gear for a very important product shoot tomorrow and just as i was done my camera decided to fuck with me for the first time since i bought it, just because it can...
whats the problem?
>a7iv
>100 ISO, 1/100 shutter speed and f1.4...
>the room im has lights on and is lit enough even for a chinesium phone to take a properly exposed image.
>my camera? both VF and live view are darker than the general population of London
can barely make up stuff in the image, its so dark... even when i point it into the light on the ceiling, its just a feint ball of light... the image is so dark, its like someone ran down the exposure scroll bar until everything got black...
i have to go up to ISO 8k+, just to get to 0.0 exposure reading... like what the fuck is that?!
worst part is... every time i press the focus button, the image goes light and gets properly exposed for under a second until the camera focuses and then everything goes dark again...
1. first i thought its only VF and live view that show a dark image and that the shot will actually look normally exposed but nope... even when i take an image, its just as dark as it is on live view or through vf...
2. then i thought the lens died or got damaged so i changed the lens but nope, same shit...
3. after that i thought exposure comp... but exposure compensation also is not it, since i cant change it in the options while the camera is in M (manual) mode.
4. then i tried switching the camera into A (auto) mode and sure enough, the image instantly got properly exposed... i tried taking an image to inspect which settings the camera chose to get proper exposure but the values were nearly identical as what i set myself on M mode (shutter speed 1/80, ISO 125, f1.4) and yet the image was not dark, it was properly exposed, whereas when i am on these same exact ISO/shutter/aperture values, i have to go up to ISO 8600 just to get to normal 0.0 exposure reading... wtf?!!
please help... i have to wake up in 7 hours
