A7II Bug Reminder:


The A7II has a strange bug on the 5 axis stabilization settings. David Sampson (Viramati) found the bug and Jono Slack sums it up at Dpreview:



If you attach a 3rd party lens after using an OSS (eg the 24-70 FE) lens then IBIS does not work

If you attach a 3rd party lens after using a non OSS lens (eg the 55 f1.8) then IBIS does work.



There is a workaround to fix the issue when it appears. David S. sent me this:



If you unmount (take off) an OSS lens without turning the camera off (or at least turn it off after you have removed the lens) then when you attach a third party (dumb) adaptor ‘steady shot’ (IBIS) continues to work normally. Of course this is not a thing a photographer would normally do as it usually common sense to turn the camera off when changing lenses so would still benefit from a firmware upgrade
