About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started Alpha Shooters in 2017 to share my own photographic journey and experiences shooting with Sony Alpha. The site has since evolved into a popular community and resource. You can find out more about my story here or follow me on Instagram if you wish. I also have a YouTube Channel but haven’t published much content over the past year due to spending more time changing smelly nappies and also launching our community forums. However, I do hope to get back to creating content again there soon!

    Good day Tim,

    I’m a tad concerned of my A7C original battery depleting higher than normal just from extensively tweaking the camera settings, I even placed it in flight mode. I’l see how many shots I can pull from tomorrows shoot which shall be way to actually gauge performance.

    My worries are that I might need extra batteries just to handle video work alone.

    Are there any other updates included? I’d really appreciate having the ability to set the default function of the back wheel or dial to ISO, which would mitigate the ergonomics problem posed by lack of a front dial, when using primes that have an aperture dial on the lens.

      Hey Tim. No other updates that I’m aware of, but you can already customize the rear wheel quite a lot. This section of the online help guide might help you to achieve what you want to do.

    Sony’s A7C Firmware Update 2.00 instructions state: “For Mac users only macOS 10.14, 10.15 and 11 are supported”. What about the last macOS Monterey (version 12.0.1)? Will it work?
