Hilarious comments on the image of a total broken Sony FX3
A member of our A7IV Facebook Group named “Myrtle” posted this image of a totally broken Sony FX3. While he didn’t share the story about what exactly happened I had a great fun reading the comments posted below the images. Some of them are:
-> It’s always recommended to get a screen protector
-> Remove the battery for 30 seconds and then put it back in and try powering on. Usually works for me.
-> Is this an advertisement for the Sigma Art 24-70???
-> Have you tried putting it in rice?
-> This overheating is getting out of hand!
