Re: NEX-6 - CRAPPED OUT
In reply to CosmoZooo, 6 months ago

Can somebody explain why one would want to change lenses WITHOUT turning the cam off?

Faster because of fear missing that "one shot". Grin.

It's asking for ( possible) trouble. It's common knowledge to turn electronic devices OFF when changing plugs or lenses in case of cams.

I'm not quite sure if swapping the lenses caused this error

Never a problem changing lenses while the camera is powered on.
