A7C Often displays message 'use battery compatible with this model, or 'there is no card inside'.

Very often on start-up I get one of these messages.

Of course, I only use original batteries and they are all in perfect condition.

I also use original SONY TOUGH G cards 1268GB and 64GB.

Are these messages normal, or is there something in settings that could prevent these annoying messages?

Hey @draganmikki

Is the firmware of this camera up-to-date?

Yes, the firmware is the latest one. Also I just had the full service done by SONY, and camera works perfectly, except that I cannot imagine why the shutter curtain wouldn't close faster.

It was like that from new and I wonder if anyone else with the similar, or same camera, has different experience.

If you have camera with the same curtain, could you please check if your camera works similar to mine.

With thanks.

Sorry, I replied to my other query regarding A7IV.

But the answer to the question regards A7C, is the same, the firmware is the latest.

Regards.

Hey @draganmikki

I'd recommend that you try to initialize/reset camera settings in this case: https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/2020/v1/en/contents/TP1000115349.html
