Sony Camera Settings Constantly Resetting (SOLVED)

[@HrPedrosak]

A73 here. You're a life saver. It worked!

[@GamingRulesVideos]

Thank you so much. This has been driving me crazy too.

You're very welcome 🤗

Brilliant! I have three a6400s in my studio, all with dummy batteries and this settings issue was driving me crazy. This worked for me!

[@rgreeneish]

You just saved me, thank you. Just bought a used a6300 and giving it the once over. It was really starting to frustrate me as I was swapping batteries and updating firmware. I thought the camera had an issue. And it was just me pulling the battery.

[@BeannyYT]

Omg my a5100 that I use as a facecam all of a sudden started doing this. I thought it was an internal battery that had run dry!! I am going to try this today- life saver!!

[@mrmeza78]

I’ll try it out. I’ve noticed after I bought a battery grip. Thank you

[@Shreditor]

So glad you made this. I've just reset the time, and I'll be patient moving forward :) BTW, A6300 webcam. Do you have the 1.4 16mm too? lol. Thanks for this.

[@leafylawd8716]

A bit late, but I have a question , does this work with every Sony models?

[@eco5100]

Yes it does my man

[@goforgoldman]

I'm using a dummy battery, but I pretty much leave it in all the time and still have this problem. Just so I understand, are you saying after I turn it off, I should turn it on again after 10 seconds?

[@gabriellasalinas4654]

OMG THANK YOU!! I appreciate this so much I’ve been struggling with this for a while.

Just because I love to be awkward, I have an issue with my Sony A7 II (old I know) where I turn it off, then when I turn it back on again the settings change back to a strange set of very custom values. I boot it back up, change the settings to how I want it, then next time I turn it off and back-on again it will restore the strange set of very custom values. I can't work out what's happening - I moved house today and when getting the camera setup as my webcam in the new location it's been doing this - never had the issue before. Really strange, hoping it fixes itself as randomly as it started happening, but one of the settings it changes is the white balance - every time I boot it up I'm all orange! Annoying!

[@dwong2007]

Just tried on my A7 II 1) turn off, wait 10 seconds, turn on & off, change battery, lost clock again 2) quick swap battery, 9 out of 10 will lost the clock 3) use usb charge the camera for 36 hours, swap battery, lost the clock My workaround Before the battery drop to 0%, swap a full charge battery on the fly (do not turn off your camera), the clock now saved.

This never worked for me... Had a sony a7cii for 4 months, tried this... Problem still persists and I have 4 batteries, I've recharged all 4 batteries to 100% and let them all recharge overnight charging from USB C ( I have the official charger too) but makes no difference, I wait 30 seconds after turning the camera off before switching batteries, so I'm not doing anything wrong, I can only guess that the internal battery or something is faulty, going to contact Sony this week... Disappointing for a 2k camera.

[@colibacufilme1647]

Didn't work for my a7cII. I did not remove the battery. It holds the settings for several on/off cycles and then is gone. Not all of them. Just some not-important ones. Still very annoying.

[@orangebetsy]

On my a7riii I’m trying out, every so often the evf will suddenly and by its own accord become totally blurry and I’ll hafta reset the diopter. Then it’ll happen again. Totally weird

[@tutaart]
