Q: QuestionDoes the a7-iii accept lenses that currenly fit my Sony a6000?

Asked 7 years ago by Raysfla.

• A:Answer yes don't worry they work better in almost every way on the A7iii than on the a6000 . Faster autofocus, way way better photos in low light when using high ISO settings and/or slow shutter speeds, especially with the IBIS in-camera stabilizer (helps stabilize too nuch coffee shaky hand shots with ANY lens you put on). The A7iii will automatically go into 'APS-C' mode (unless you choose to disable that in settings) which is just a fancy way of saying the camera will digitally zoom to 1.5x so that a smaller portion of the sensor gets used (centered area, having same 24mm width x 16mm height as the a6000). Sometimes you might want to disable the APS-C mode to acheive different perspectives, especially with ultra wide lenses like the 10-18. In any case if you are adding a A7iii to your a6000 system I would bet you will be very happy with the results!

Q: QuestionIf the camera shoots 4K video, can it play back to an "ordinary" HDTV? I'm guessing the connection is HDMI, like my BluRay player. Does the TV ignore the data beyond 2K? Does the camera handshake with the TV and send a non-4K signal?

Asked 7 years ago by Mongo1943.

• A:Answer The HDMI connection communicates to the camera what the TV is capable of and the camera will replay videos at that resolution.
