r/SonyA7iii

so recently my a7iii randomly keeps turning itself off, more exactly everything on the camera becomes black but it s still on and you can see the screen is on and if I press the shutter button it basically restarts itself like nothing happend like you just turned on the camera, no errors no messages no missing photos or something, I didn t find any solution on the internet, and on chatgpt it says it can be a motherboard problem, or with the battery, or with the pins, I don t any friends with my battery model to test or to buy one, and it s my only battery.

Hey guys,

I’ve been really loving cinematic shots lately and I’ve got a bunch of ideas in my head I want to actually bring to life.

I’m thinking of starting with a Sony A7 III and a 50mm f/1.8 since I’m on a budget. I want something more flexible than just using a phone and actually learn framing, focal lengths, etc.

Total beginner here. Mainly wanna shoot cinematic stuff, random city shots, landscapes etc.

Is this a good starting point or should I go a different route?

Also, is 50mm too tight for a first lens?

Appreciate any advice 🙏
