Alexandre: “During this festive season, many girls in Bangkok had some Christmas costumes. It was very entertaining and I shot many pictures of them with my Sony A7R and the Zeiss lens 35mmF2.8 . sometimes I used the sony flash F43M. http://traveljournalist.com/pretty-model-santa-girl-bangkok-thailand-2014/“

Nice battery setup, but you know you can only get that dummy battery by disassembling Sony AC adapter ACPW20 which is at least expensive.
Please ebay, give us some chinese clones of Sony Dummy Batteries
There are, look at the one in the video.
Got one from ebay.
Modern Sony cameras, such as the A6000, have micro-USB connectors, which means you can just buy an external battery pack designed for smartphones.
nope, cant shoot while charging
Yes you can. Go into menu, and under USB Power Supply, select “On.”
Oh, I forgot to mention that I meant for the A7 (did not know that the a6000 differed from A7 in this case) But this is nonexistent in A7 right? I cant find that feature. If thats the case I guess the video above would be more meaningful for the A7-series?
I don’t know for sure since I don’t have an A7, but if you can charge it through USB, you should also be able to power it too. The video above is sort of an exercise in futility though since buying a regular USB backup battery is so much simpler and cheaper than this contraption.
Sure this is on a a6000 ? I looked but i can’t find this option in the menu system. I have been using the bat. adapter too for that reason. Having it power from usb (like some of the other sony products) would be nice.
Ok, on my RX100M3, it’s under the suitcase, option 3, along with the other USB options.
Well i know other models have it but the a6000 doesn’t. So you have to use the battery plug. Now i do feel there are other ways todo this for example using the atomos power station. It all depends on what other devices you have anyway. If you are already using these batts like he is for flash/lights why not use them.
Daniel.
well I guess comparing a RX100 menu to the a6000 menu doesn’t really work 🙂
The Sony Z inspired by Leica T?
Come on!
Why not just use one of the many USB battery packs already for sale for years that power smartphones, tablets, etc? If the A6000 can be charged via the USB port, it seems like having one of those smaller (but still powerful) battery packs in your pocket would be very useful for extra battery life when you’re away from electric.
I got a $30 USB charger which I’ve used for up to 13 hours straight and 4000 pictures (and it was only half spent). No need to go through this exercise.
Connected my a6000 with usb to the usb charger, usb battery and computer: no power. Did they change something? Model difference?
I wish Sony would Allow USb charge while using camera. Currently the A7 line, while usb charging the camera is unable to take pictures. Another option however for A7 camera is to use
Meike Mk-ar7 Built-in 2.4g Wireless Control Battery Grip for Sony A7 A7r A7s – it allowsa you to swap a battery while its in use.
Anyone know the wiring cables and the cradles for the larger batteries?
