Evan my camera also damaged bye lezer what is the solution

[@MrPapable]

This is mentioned in the manual but who else read it 😅 this happened too on my canon camera. I used 50mm with aperture set to f1.8. Although they mentioned it is not covered by the warranty but they replaced my camera sensor for free ❤

[@avicreates]

Damn , well I did read it in articles but yea, I just skim through manuals to read about features. Thanks for stopping by, remember to like and subscribe.

Happened to my sony a7 iv They said they will cover the sensor this time Only once lol So the question now is Is there any weather sealing left after changing the sensor ?

[@avicreates]

Wow…You got lucky there with the coverage, great I’m happy they did. No more night clubs! Lol remember to like and subscribe! Cheers!

Hi, thanks for letting us know about permanent damage, but I would also like to introduce you to stuff that temporarily wrecks your video. Banding, there's banding in the background of this video. You either change your FPS to your native country's one, which is either 24fps or 25fps, 24fps for North America standards and 25fps for UK standards, or reduce shutter speed, or swop out the lights.

[@avicreates]

Hi thanks for that, remember to like the video and subscribe to the channel.

30fps in 60Hz countries, surely, not 24fps. And, like you said correctly, 25fps in 50Hz countries.

Hey no problem, share with whoever you know, save them from an expensive mistake.

[@amiya51]

My Sony A7iv Sensor has Red dot So I contact Sony Service center and Send my Camera they told me it was affected by Laser but I don't know when it happeneds now they are asking me for Censor replacement btw my camera is in warranty still asking me for 500$ after 50% discount on Censor Replacement because its in warranty but why its not Repairable under warranty

[@avicreates]

I can’t say for sure but they warn that if you use it in an environment that has laser then they won’t cover you. But what if you were out filming in the streets and it was a smart driving car? If you didn’t shoot in an environment that has laser then tell them you didn’t . Hope it works out.

[@slimessiful]

I went to buy a used a6400, and while everything was fine, there's small red megenta line in the middle, you can only see it when you take a picture of a white wall, asked a round and they told me it was laser damage, couldn't believe it, I guess I'm going back to shooting canon, crazy how expensive these cameras are and how fragile they make them

[@avicreates]

I believe any camera will get damaged by laser, that’s unfortunate tho. Sorry to hear, try doing a pixel remapping on the sensor and see of that helps. You can find it in the settings

[@slimessiful]

@@avicreates I returned it, but I must admit I didn't try the pixel remapping trick, thanks

[@pritampramanick7012]

Kindly reply!!! I have a different question though...Samyang has definitely better image quality but I am facing some problem with samyang 24-70 f2.8 while pairing with sony a7 iv ( I have updated sony firmware to the latest version). Whenever I try to take portrait and eye AF is on, it focuses either little bit before or behind the eye even with any object when I try to engage touch Af. Similar I have tried with Sony GM lens and sigma art 24-70 f2.8 I didn't find the same issue. But for video shoot there is no such problem... Can you please give me any suggestion?

[@avicreates]

Focus drift is something that can happen with any lens. There are a few ways to Fix . Either you try updating this firmware using their dock and see if that helps. Next would be to out to samyang and claim warranty or have it replaced/returned. Lastly will be to adjust focus compensation this is by using settings in the camera. Try searching KZbin to see how to do this as it is much to explain. Let me know if this helps and remember to like and subscribe!

[@orangerecords_studio]

Hi, I was jsut thinking. I alway have my vari ND filters ON, even if I film indoor ( dont have t take them off ) maight this protect the sensor maybe, at least a tiny bit ?

[@avicreates]

Maybe it might, but lasers lights are a little more penetrating than regular light beans because they are concentrated. I cant say for certain, so just be careful. Cheers and remember to like and subscribe. 🙂

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

May I ask, will the sensor in my 5dm3 ruin if I'm using it for webcam? My lessons are usually 3 hours long, once a week. The battery usually lasts just about 3 hours fully charged.

[@avicreates]

No it will be fine for webcam

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

@@avicreates I'll trust that. Thank you!!

[@Kylesaystuff]

Hi, I’m a Red V raptor owner, will laser also damage my camera censor as well? And is there anyway to protect it?

[@avicreates]

Hey, sorry to hear this happened, no way to protect the sensor as far as I know. Someone asked about a potential filter, but I haven’t seen a product like this for cameras. Maybe try a Reddit search and see if you find a thread. Remember to like and subscribe. 🙂

[@salt.talking]

Can sunlight or flashlight damage camera sensor also?

[@avicreates]

Flash can’t , direct sunlight can, The lens in front of it acts like a magnifying glass and will focus the energy on a very small area , so the possibility exists. Thing won’t happen for general use , but if you were to zoom into the sun etc , different story.

[@KevinGannets]

just got the A7IV (my first camera) never thought of something like this before thanks for the heads up! i’ve been super careful just holding my camera because it’s so expensive aha

[@avicreates]

Haha yes congrats man, it’s an amazing device. It’s pretty tough but indeed do treat it with care. No problem with the heads up, it’s truly a frustrating thing to imagine happening. I hope you create great content, remember to like the video and subscribe to the channel. Stay connected! Cheers

[@kyonsmith5203]

Use a small format camcorder and set the internal ND to max (usually 1/64) and you can get away with filming most show lasers, unless it's too close or for too long. I filmed dozens of events with lasers with an AX700 set to 1/64 ND, and it's still working perfectly fine today. Just that a small sensor with heavy ND would usually give you more noise than image, but there's nothing AI denoising can't fix.

[@avicreates]

Nice, good advice!

Last month when i photograph in club with nikon d7200 with 35mm f1.8 . camera lcd turn in to purple and now LCD won't open it turn into black. This happen when sensor got damage?

[@avicreates]

Is there defects on photos? It Can be a defective screen. Are you able to access the menu? If it’s the sensor the photos and display will look funny w purple streaks etc but you will still be able to access the menu. If the whole screen stops functioning then it might be a different problem.

Also, don't aim it at the sun. And don't stare at the sun, and don't let a laser point directly into your eye. And don't shoot a laser pointer at a airplane pilot in action. Also, don't shoot a gun to your head.

[@avicreates]

Hi friend, reach out the Sony or a repair shop to see if you can have the sensor replaced, it would be cheaper than buying a new camera, also if you are shoo in weddings do you have any type of insurance? This should cover the damage of your equipment. Good luck I hope it works out

[@Lauren_C]

Any way to mitigate the damage? For example, using an ND with diffusion, and just running a higher ISO to cover the lost light?

[@avicreates]

Hey man, I wont want to risk testing that idea , the only thing is reaching out to maybe a hardware developer for NDs and asking for them to develop laser filters for the respective range or wavelengths. They sell protective laser glasses for people that use laser etchers so maybe a laser filter is a viable design option. Remember You can show your support by liking and subscribing to the channel!

It's been two years no pin comment ? + any way to avoid or prevent but still let us shoot

[@avicreates]

Don’t shoot where there are lasers, get camera insurance coverage from your insurance company or check out Professional Photographers of America. Buy extended warranty, find out if the client or the venue has insurance coverage for devices etc. That’s it! Not much you can do when it comes to the lasers!
