Federico:Just to inform and hope in Sony firmware update.
Every Sony 24 f1.4 GM have some problem when you close over f4, starting to wooble in AFC, this happen very very little (not a problem) on sony A9, while on A7r3 (maybe because phase points are little for diffraction) cause a real problem in use.
Tried on 4 lenses and 3 cameras.
This is an example (not my video, is a friend of mine but I can make other)..

Sony A7III and A7rIII firmware update will be re-released in mid December

In case you missed it: Sony confirmed it will re-release the 2.0 firmware update in mid December.

Notification of system software updates for customers using the α7R III (ILCE-7RM3) and α7 III (ILCE-7M3) interchangeable lens digital cameras
Thank you for using Sony products.

It has come to our attention that the following issues may occur with our α7R III and α7 III interchangeable lens digital cameras.

In rare cases, your α7R III or α7 III model may stop functioning while writing RAW data onto an SD card that has already been used multiple times.

Notes:

  • This may also cause abnormalities in the files managing the images, preventing the images from displaying on the camera
  • No image data in the memory card will be corrupted or deleted aside from data that was being written at the time the interruption occurred
  • If images no longer display on the camera, follow the steps below to use “Recover Image DB” feature:

Select MENU → (Setup) → [Recover Image DB] → desired memory card slot → [Enter]
Then, when taking a picture, back up the data on a PC or other device, and format the memory card on your camera.

2. With the α7R III, taking a picture while using the Auto Review function, may occasionally cause the camera to stop responding.

We will provide an update to the system software addressing to the above issues in mid-December. Until then, please take the following precautions:

While we are preparing to provide new system software, we will no longer offer updates to the current system software.

Before taking any pictures, format the memory cards in both slots on the camera, or use a new memory card.
Ensure the Auto Review function is off when taking pictures.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused while using the affected products and thank you for your understanding.
