sony a7iii lcd screen replacement made in china

Last week, a class action complaint was filed in the Southern District of New York alleging Sony Electronics Inc. is denying warranty claims in violation of New York law regarding widespread shutter defects of Sony’s a7 III mirrorless camera.

The complaint, filed by plaintiff John Guerriero for $402, alleges Sony a7 III camera units have premature shutter failure, which render the affected cameras unusable without expensive repairs. After providing a brief summary of the difference between DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras to the courts, the plaintiff dives into the details of what they allege to be a widespread issue of shutters failing before their quoted life expectancy.

Specifically, the plaintiff states the quoted ‘shutter life expectancy on the a7iii is 200,000 actuations,’ but notes ‘numerous users report shutter failures far below 200,000 but between 10,000 and 50,000 for most of the users who experienced this,’ citing this Change.org petition—signed by 1,320 individuals as of publication—that calls for Sony to recall the a7 III for shutter failure problems.

‘While the [a7 III] is generally sold with a one-year warranty,’ says the plaintiff, ‘shutter failure occurs randomly, often outside of the warranty period.’ As a result, the plaintiff says ‘purchasers must pay approximately $500–650 for repair and replacement of the shutter mechanism’ on top of the $2,000 cost of the camera itself.

The plaintiff claims the shutter failures happen in a predicted manner, wherein ‘users report hearing an atypical shutter sound, followed by the screen turning black and displaying the following message: “Camera Error. Turn off then on.”’ Upon removing the lens following the error message, the plaintiff alleges that ‘in most instances,’ the shutter has become detached due to ‘the shutter blade [catching] on the front edge as it moves down in taking a picture […] because the blades are positioned farther forward so they “catch” and fail to fully clear.’

The complaint says the affected class includes ‘all citizens of New York who purchased [Sony a7 III] cameras.’ At this time, it appears this is the only complaint of its kind filed in the United States.

The specific claims against Sony in the complained include breach of express warranty, implied warranty of merchantability and Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, violation of the New York General Business Law, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and unjust enrichment.

In addition to obtaining class certification and ability for his counsel (Sheehan & Associates P.C.) to represent the class, the plaintiff is also seeking an injunction, as well as an award for costs, damages, fees and other relief. According to court records, Sony was notified via summons on March 29 of the complaint.

We have contacted Sony regarding the matter and have not yet received a response as of publishing this article. We will update accordingly as more information becomes available.

I was really disappointed the way this problem is managed. When you buy a car and the manufacturer discovers then a problem they organize a return for repair. Even my Bosch washing machine had a relay problem they changed it at home... Serious brands. Sony is a mass electronic manufacturer and don"t care of engineering problems. I had an engineering problem on a Sony Vaio also since then i don"t buy Sony anymore. It is my choice...

The a7 III is incredibly compelling years later. However, its rivals, the Canon R6, Nikon Z6 II, and Lumix S5 have surpassed it in terms of video features by offering 10-bit recording. If Sony would only fix that one thing in firmware, the a7 III would be damn near perfect.

I love my Sony a7 III it works very well and the most pictures on my site https://www.danieltetzel.de/ are shoot with it. Most times with the Tamron 28-75mm lens.

i"ve noticed on my sony a7 iii some artefacts specially during long exposure,some points are blue or red , i read is called hot pixel,someone have same problem with this camera? thanks

Well I don"t see difference between my 921K and 12XXK something Nikon cameras. 921K screen looks great with vivid colors. I have other cameras with more screen pixels too but don"t even care or know how many.

Why doesn"t the A7 III doesn"t feature Pixel Shift Mode, like the A7R III? Speaken technically, it should being possible by the IBIS system. I do think, perhaps the A7 Mark IV would feature this - and also a Top Monochrome LCD, like the Nikon Z-Series and EOS-R. ;)

I know this reply is late, but this can be achieved using the Godox x1s transmitter. I use this in weddings and the grid pattern comes on with my a9. It will also work on the a7iii and I believe the a7riii. You just have to remember to turn on the af assist on the transmitter and set the camera af illuminator to auto. If you want the flash on camera, I imagine you can just mount one on the transmitter, but I personally like the super light weight and small size of being off camera.

I do have the speed lights and for those the light pattern does NOT come on. It is a firmware thing for sure. The x1 transmitter got a firmware update that allowed you to set the AF assist to on for 3rd gen Sony (maybe even a7ii and a7rii)? Also, the x1 assist does not work with the a7s (or any of the gen1 bodies).

The camera thinks differently than my 6D did, and that"s okay, but I haven"t gotten used to it yet. I can"t rely on the auto ISO like I did with the Canon. The Sony seems to go higher than necessary, so I don"t use auto ISO anymore. I stay totally manual.

I hate how no reviews mention the atrocious dust problem this camera has. I have taken thousands of shots in the past few months, every single one has dust spots on it. Changing lenses? Guaranteed dust on the sensor. Cleaning the sensor? Dust will find it"s way back on the sensor in the second it takes to put the lens back on. I have never had a single dust spot on a picture from a Canon camera. I love my a7iii, I just wish they did a better job designing ANY sort of dust control into it.

Looks like I have to buy one of these. From my previous encounter with the Sony brand, I have the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 that I have not wanted to sell at the prices offered. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of optical perfection I have ever handled. There must be some Minolta genes there...

I live in a caribbean coastal city (Barranquilla) with humidity and apron 30-35ºC all year. For video, I need to do interviews on the outside in the sun, maybe shade, still very hot. Ive read a lot that Sony"s Alpha 7 line are poorly weather sealed and water and corrosion is usual. My Canon 7D take time to overheats but still happened, but buying a new camera is to overcome this. I wanted to upgrade to the A7III, but there are mixed reviews, some saying it won"t stand more than 8 mins 4k video in sun 32º aprox and that corrosion is very common. Is this camera good for outside video with tough conditions?

You would have to rent to evaluate overheating. It has been 4k that has been the issue with some previous bodies. Doing 1080 shouldn"t be an issue. If leaving it in the sun for long periods .......combined with video. I dunno. Users of the a9, a7riii, and a7iii have had a hard time even getting it to overheat on these bodies.

Also FWIW the summer climate where I live is similar to yours. Except no wind. I have got my a7iii noticeably warm twice. Both times was from leaving it in a bag or automobile in a way it couldn"t go into standby. Neither time was it warm enough for a warning. Although most of my videos are only a few minutes and sporadic. Sometimes I do extended time on a tripod in full sunlight(bracketed shots) without issue. Best I got

Olympus e-m1 series are really good in all climates. Wont get you FF, but a very reliable camera with some nice dimensions. Mine fell 10 feet into hard rock...and survived just fine with a few scratches. I"m sorry Sony. I don"t think your a7 series would stand that test.

It"s very likely the opposite Sirandar. There are several quick charge technologies included in SoC smartphones, for example your LG is likely using Quick Charge 2 or 3 by Qualcomm. Sony camera usb charging is likely 1.5amp and slow. Better to charge batteries in an external charger.

@Thematic LOL, the GH5S is worse in low light than Sony"s cameras? You could be a comedian with that kind of statement. Practically everything you said is unsupported by reality. Let me know when you find a Sony that doesn"t have nasty highlight roll-off, then we"ll talk.

I"m nervous about switching to Sony, but the A73 has features that just don"t exist on Canons right now. Maybe Canon will catch up someday with their mirrorless technology, but it doesn"t seem they will anytime soon, and I need the Sony features right away (full frame that shoots silently, has 4K, has touch screen, and more).

I just delivered to a guy last week who sold all his Nikon gear, D800, D810 and all Nikon glass and accessories and moved to all Sony. He"s eyeing the A7iii, but has a A7Rii, A6300, etc. And he doesn"t regret his move to Sony one bit. So you should be just fine!

Now just wait until he sees what kind of glass he"s gotten himself into. Nikon is mediocre at worst, Canon isn"t as good as they used to be. Sony hasn"t been into this game in any serious manner.

@BazzzH...Uh...what??!! He"s a portrait photographer and loves Sony. More so than he ever did when he shot Nikon. And your comment about Sony glass is delusional at best. They have excellent glass.

Obviously my current setup (Sony A7III) and assorted glass is just as good. But it has disadvantages. It has advantages. I switched to Sony a year ago because I needed a couple features that didn"t exist anywhere else.

Good camera from Sony putting competition on Canon and Nikon to up their games, my gripes is again small body and the overload balance especially hiking a mid to heavy lens on to it, small battery and compartment and why didn"t Sony use XQD card slot in it ? - especially for 4k, 10 fps, etc.

Right now I"m shooting a Nikon D7200. I have 3 lenses for my landscape needs. Tokina 11-20 f2.8, Sigma 17-50 f2.8 (my walk around lens) and a Sigma 24-105 f4. Living in AZ I need the wide of the Tokina in a couple of places like Horseshoe Bend and Meteor Crater. The 24-105 I use in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. When I sell it and get the Sony A7iii with the Sony 24-105 f4, I will lighten my load by over 3 lbs. I"ll still have a decent wide lens at 24mm and decent reach at 105. Then there"s that Tamron 100-400!!! Not worried about a small body. It"s doable from what I"m seeing and reading on the net. I do NOT shoot video!!

Not worried about how many fps the A7iii does. But it"s there when I will need it. Barely use the 6fps on my for now D7200. I"ve read where a few are getting upwards of 2,000 shots on a battery. Would love to know what settings they are using to achieve that number. If true, that"s impressive. Size is why I"d be switching. There are options for those with bigger hands. Pinky grips, battery grips etc.

I see it still has that nasty shelf-like Sony highlight rolloff. I do wonder if they"ll ever fix that. Every single on of their cameras seems to suffer from it. As far as I am concerned that"s a deal-breaker for high-contrast and night photography.

spending $2000 you do expect an external battery charger - also with plugging in and out of Usb puts a strain on the sockets. Sony should have offered this and my only other gripe with this excellent camera why not use 1 high speed XQD slot ?

It will be interesting to see what Sony does in terms of firmware upgrades. Olympus is still the leader/trendsetter in this area. I"d like to see Sony add (I don"t think this camera has any of these)

When I was checking out the Sony A7Riii in the "local" camera store a couple of weeks ago, I saw a OMD MK2 and was shocked at the size! Outdoor Photography really pushes Olympus imho. As for Canon and Nikon, I, for the life of me cannot figure out how they will release a full frame mirrorless camera for the same price (and specs) as the A7iii. They might prove me wrong though. I always thought Nikon was over priced.

Who says a Canon will be the same price. The $2K price point for the A7iii gives far more value than Canon"s current offerings. Of course if Canon included an EF adapter for their mirrorless that would help defray the $400 EF to E-mount adapter cost for Canon glass owners when they buy Sony

@wcan...NEVER said that. What I said and have been saying is, "if Nikon and Canon don"t come out with a mirrorless full frame camera equal to or exceeding that of the A7iii they will be in trouble". And that comment also stands for price. The A7iii had to throw both Canon and Nikon for a loop in every respect.

A set of expensive heavy and not top-notch lenses. There"s people here who buy expensive bodies and put cheap rubbish lenses on them. Olympus MFT has the best lenses there are for the system. Canikon and Sony are just starting in that business. IBIS on this Sony thing is laughable.

Possibly, those are settings for PAL countries (EU and others). Maybe there is a way to use NTSC settings in the configuration screens. Check the maximum clip recording time too, as it might be unlimited on some models and limited to 29m59s on PAL models.

I appreciate the new format of your reviews, with staff comments at the end, and combined with the excellent review video segment. Just like the Sony a7iii set a new standard for others to shoot for, so did you.

Question regarding mirrorless cameras. I have read on a couple of Nikon websites of people constantly having to Fine Tune their lenses to get sharpness exact or as near as possible to being sharp. Is this an issue with Sony or any other mirrorless camera/lenses??

Lens experience and suggestions: The A7III and the A7r series are capable of incredibly great detail, if you use good enough lenses. I am using most, the F4 Sony Zeiss 24-70. My copy was poor, but I sent it back to Sony (free) and they made it excellent. I have the Sony F2.8 24-70 gm, but it"s so much bigger I mostly use the F4. I also have the F4 70-200. Stellar. Smaller than the F2.8 but equally as sharp. Next, must have at least one lens you can use in low light. Best deal is the 28mm F2, which is extremely sharp and at f2, under $500, is nearly two stops faster than the zooms. Very small. I use it for indoor at night casual shooting. These three lenses give you a full range very high quality kit, for not too much money.

The 90 mm F2.8 is incredibly sharp, less than $1000 and serves both as a general lens and as a close up macro lens. I also love the F1.8 55 mm Sony/Zeiss which is also one of the sharpest lenses on the planet.

It’s the variation issues that concern me. The stories I hear of people returning their lenses multiple times to get a good copy is worrying. Sony easily make the best features bodies now and when the lenses are good, they’re really good. I just wish the QC was higher.

"I understand that you"re having issues with the Eye AF function of your ILCE7M3 camera. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We want you to know that we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please be advised that Sony is aware of this issue, and this has been forwarded to our engineering team in Japan already."

Eye AF is way better than no eye AF with old teck DSLR cameras where the lenses have to be calibrated to get acceptable focus ... for Sony A7III this is probably just a software update.

Anyone who calls osv a troll is obviously a troll, but you put a cherry on the top by posting links and writing this: "If all the bad copies of lenses were not enough, now there are bad copies of the A7iii." Obvious troll is obvious.

It was Sony that said there are bad copies of the A7iii. So you are accusing Sony of trolling Sony. Sony says there is a problem, you can"t deny that.

F4 Sony Zeiss 24-70? F4? So you"re wasting the no-noise FF sensor with a dark lens that requires you to set ISO to levels that will be noisy. F4 is laughably slow. Bad glass.

Expecting an unbiased article from such a person is like Hillary Clinton writing an unbiased critique of trumps presidency. Maybe you are naive in thinking the article is fair but to those of us who actually use the cameras most of his points are bs and its a poor attempt at taking a pot shot at a company that cost him money. The only thing I really agree with are the sub par service of Sony which I agree with and the sub par weather sealing. The rest are non issues for most people who use the camera.

When a Sony A7 series camera is set up properly, you hardly have to visit the menues again. Real world use is a breeze, no matter hot summer days or freezing cold winter days or nights, when wearing gloves. No matter small or large lenses.

@pentaust Please show me a post I made where I haven"t acknowledged short comings. Do I have implicit bias like every other human? Certainly, but I try to remain objective and rational. I"m certainly no apologist for Sony or any other brand. For example I prefer an EVF to and OVF but I don"t think those who disagree with me are necessarily wrong. Each person has important and less important features that they want.

Regarding the menus I can"t say that comparatively Sony"s are any better or worse than any other ILCs because I don"t have intimate experience with other ILC cameras. That"s why I take the opinion of someone who uses multiple systems (brendon1000) with more weight than someone who doesn"t (most trolls). I will say that I find the custom buttons, my menu and user defined function menu to make the actual menus moot - once setup I don"t need to go to the menus.

Judging from the complaints I"ve seen on the Sony forum, from users, a pattern of questionable QC is developing for this particular body. And there are numerous... with new complaints about stuck shutters, multiple body returns, eye focus not working, stripes, color issues, pixel blinking and on and on.

@Magnar. You invested in Sony. Now you can"t stand when someone points out deficiencies. Don"t worry, that"s normal, anyone who is invested into a lens mount like to be reassured that he made the right decision, and hate to be proven wrong. That"s basic buyer"s psychology that every marketer knows very well. On the other hand, it is commonly acknowledged that Sony mirrorless cameras have good sensors, small size, as well as poor ergonomics, poor menu system and flimsy construction quality.

Lol just owning something doesn"t mean squat ! My friend bought a 6D Mk II some time back and he hated it and would never recommend it to anyone who asked him. I use the Sony A7 III and find it much better than any of my previous cameras.

I have had 3 Sony A7 series cameras and I can tell you ergonomics were great, menu system wasn"t the best of course but once I fully customized the camera it was never a problem and construction while not the best is still very good. None of my cameras are worse for wear after 100000+ shutter actuations. My 5d mk II has all the rubber parts fallen off after 95k shutters but that is considered a rugged body.

@ pentaust: I can live very well with Sony cameras and lenses, since they do what I want them to do. I have used other brands, and even had to jump ship because of repeated malfunctions and breakdowns with a brand that is judged as top professional. When you earn your money from photography, malfunction and repairs are much more expensive than just paying for repairs and replacements.

Ken Rockwell"s review stated, that once the Sony A7iii is set up properly you don"t need to access the menus anymore unless you need to tweak something. It"s basically a (yes expensive) "point and shoot" camera once set up to ones liking. But I guess that can be said of any camera.

Was on the fence last year to go Nikon FX with the D750. Glad I didn"t. The 3rd recall on the 750 was issued right around the same time I was looking at upgrading. And I would have had that camera at the time I was going to Joshua Tree NP. Would the camera I bought had any issues? No idea, and I didn"t want to take that chance. Sony A7iii is in the works. And read or watch any review and I have yet to see a negative review on the A7iii.

@AZheaven. As you know I prefer my Sony cameras. But I also have a Nikon D750, and despite being one of the cameras recalled, mine has never had any of the problems for which the recalls were issued. Nikon goes overboard on the recalls now, due to the bad publicity they had from the relatively wide spread black spot issue on the D600. Then, the trolls excoriated Nikon. Now the trolls complain because they recall. Go figure.

AZheaven, why waiting? Do you really think Nikon would offer anything similar to Sony A7 III/A7R III feature and price-wise? I highly doubt it. Sony now has glass while Nikon doesn"t. Some rumors say Nikon"s mirrorless is postponed to 2019. By then A7 IV/A7R IV will be on the horizon and would make Nikon obsolete. I really enjoy my A7 III and have a great faith in Sony now. After D7100 this camera is something from the future. And the most important is that I enjoy it immensely. I couldn"t say that about my Nikon which was a nightmare with its front- and back-focusing issues. Oh, and I am among the few who has no problems with Sony"s menus. It is like an Android smartphone - you take some time to customize it and then just enjoy the experience.

I"m only waiting until the holidays to see if there is a sale of some sorts. I"m not waiting for Nikon!! I"m making the switch. LOL I don"t have much confidence in what Nikon is going to offer. And I think Canon will be beating them to the punch anyway since rumor has it that they are currently field testing a full frame mirrorless camera. Don"t hear that at all in the Nikon forums. The people complaining about the menu system, even in the Sony? I"m guessing they never heard of or used or tried to set up a VCR!!

Sony a7 III & a7R III cameras share some accessories designed for Sony a9, a few designed specifically for a7 III & a7R III and many accessories compatible with all Sony E-mount cameras. This list will help you navigate your way to the accessories you need.

My first suggestion with any camera is to buy an extra battery and external charger. Even though battery life is greatly improved from previous Sony mirrorless camera batteries, you can’t shoot while charging your only battery, picking up a spare Sony NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.

Sony a7R III ships with an external battery charger – but a7 III does not. You’ll want to pick one up for a7 III and if you shoot heavily, you may want spare Sony BC-QZ1 Z-series Battery Charger so that you can charge two batteries at once. Featuring a 100-240 Volt compatible power adapter, this charger will be able to charge a battery completely in 150 minutes. It also features an LED indicator for checking charge status and has a slim design with a detachable AC cable.

I only use original Sony NP-FZ100 batteries – but if you’re determined to buy third-party replacement batteries – please stick to batteries that comply!

Upgraded RAVPower NP-FZ100 Batteries ($59.95 for two battery + charger kit from Amazon) meet compliance with Sony a7 III, a7R III & a9. The only complaint I’ve received is that RAVPower batteries drain more quickly than OEM Sony batteries

Sony VG-C3EM Vertical Grip ($348 at B&H Photo | Amazon) is probably a MUST for sports or wildlife shooters or anyone suffering from withdrawals from DSLR-size bodies. In addition to making a bigger body to grip, you get the added bonus of room for two NP-FZ100 batteries for double the battery life. Portrait photographers will appreciate the added vertical release.

Really Right Stuff is the ‘gold standard” of camera plates and L Brackets. Their Sony a9/a7R III will also fit a7 III. These plates are all precision machined from solid blocks of 6061-T6 aluminum. Fully compatible with any Arca-Swiss style quick release system with contoured anti-twist flanges to prevent twisting between camera and plate.

GABALE QR L Plate Bracket for Sony a7III/a7RIII/a9 ($57 on eBay) is a less expensive alternative machined from lightweight aircraft-grade anodized aluminum. It’s two-part construction allows you to control the offset of the side bracket for access to camera ports when mounted vertically.

Sony GP-X1EM Grip Extension ($130 at B&H Photo | Amazon) mounts to the camera’s tripod socket to provide a larger and taller grip for a more ergonomic shooting setup. For durability, it features aluminum construction with and enhanced scratch resistance surface.

Manfrotto Befree Advanced Alpha Travel Tripod (Pre-Order for $189.99 from B&H Photo | Adorama) This special version of the Befree Advanced Lever is designed for Sony alpha camera users who want maximum performance and stability in all shooting positions.

The quick-release plate is designed to match Sony a7 and Sony a9 camera bodies, to ensure perfect grip, even in the most angled camera shots. The front jut of the plate physically blocks the camera, preventing any play both on tilt and rotational movements, always keeping the camera stuck to the head plate.

Gitzo L-Bracket for Sony a7R III and a9 Cameras ($199 at B&H Photo). allows comfortable alignment of Sony a7 III, a7R III and a9 cameras and facilitates quick change between landscape and portrait. Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the new rail is the lightest of its kind, according to the manufacturer, it offers four mounting points for the camera designed for shooting video or tethered shooting in the studio. The supplied Allen key can be fixed in a separate holder.

Sony’s new NP-FZ100 batteries pack a lot of power yet if you find yourself needing more, Sony NPA-MQZ1K Multi Battery Adapter Kit might be just what you need for time lapse photography or extended video shoots since it is able to supply power from up to four NP-FZ100 series battery packs for dramatically extended shooting times. At four bills – it’s not cheap, but it includes two NP-FZ100 batteries that would run you $160.

[Please Note: Due to a clever dual dummy battery set-up, Sony NPA-MQZ1K Multi Battery Adapter is also compatible with cameras using W-style Sony batteries including a7-Series, a6000-series and NEX]

The eyepiece on Sony a7R III is well anchored in place so chances are good, you’ll never lose one. But if you do…here’s where you can get a replacement Sony FDA-EP18 Eyepiece Cup ($11 at B&H Photo | Amazon)

SD Card Slot 1 is UHS II compatible with Sony’s world’s fastest Sony SF-G cards featuring blistering fast 299MB/s Write Speed & 300MB/s Read Speed perfect for Sony a7R III’s 10 FPS burst shooting, 4K video, and other buffer-busting uses. If you plan to shoot video, you’ll want to stick to 64GB (or larger) SDXC cards for the best video codex. [Please Note: UHS-II SD cards will work in other Sony cameras – however only Sony a7 III, a7R II & a9 can take advantage of it’s blazing write speed]

If you can’t get your hands on the Sony cards listed above, the next fastest option is SanDisk 32GB Extreme PRO UHS-II SDHC, 64GB Extreme PRO UHS-II SDXC or 128GB Extreme PRO UHS-II SDXC Memory Cards with 260 MB/s Max Write Speeds. Once again, stick to 64 or 128 GB SDXC cards for video.

Hoodman Steel 2000x SDXC UHS-II Memory Card available in 64GB & 128GB fall short of Sony SF-G speed, but their 260 MB/s a Max Write Speed equals the speed of SanDisk cards with better construction and a lower price.

Sony a7R III Card Slot 2 is compatible with UHS-I memory cards. Sony SDXC UZ UHS-I memory cards with 90 MB/s Write Speed & 95 MB/s read Speed are an excellent choice. Though they don’t offer the same write speeds as UHS-II cards, these cards are also fully compatible in card slot 1.

While you can always download by connecting the camera to your computer using the supplied USB-cord…however you’ll be limited to USB-2 downdload speeds. But for fast downloads, a MUCH better option is to pick up a Sony MRW-S1 UHS-II SD Memory Card Reader ($29 at B&H Photo | Amazon)

Remote controls allow hands-off triggering of a tripod-mounted camera or long bulb exposure times. Sony RM-VPR1 remote control with Multi-Terminal Cable ($50 at B&H | Amazon) allows you to trigger long exposures without touching your camera.

If you prefer a wireless remote trigger, Sony RMT-DSLR2 Wireless Remote ($24 at B&H Photo | Amazon) triggers your shutter by sending an infrared signal to the camera’s remote port, ensuring that you don’t shake the camera as you fire it.

Sony RMT-VP1K Wireless Receiver and Remote Commander Kit ($69 at B&H Photo | Amazon) can operate your camera or a group of cameras remotely using the RMT-VP1K Wireless Receiver and Remote Commander Kit from Sony. The multi-function remote control is compatible with Sony cameras that are equipped with a multi terminal and has further compatibility with MI-show and DI products. For video or still use, the remote has four available modes: Half-push, Release, Bulb lock, and REC/Zoom. The IR receiver has 360° coverage. Full Compatibility with all Sony products with multi-terminal port.

Vello 3.5mm Remote Shutter Release Cable for Sony Multi-Terminal cameras ($11 at B&H Photo | Amazon) is the cord you need if you want to trigger your Sony a7R III camera remotely using a Pocket Wizard or any other remote trigger with a 3.5mm mini-plug port.

JJC TM-F2 Wire Multi-Function LCD Timer Remote for Sony Multi-Terminal ($26 at Amazon)This is the choice of time-lapse specialist Sony Artisan Drew Geraci for it simplicity, size and easy to read display.

hahnel Captur Timer Kit for Sony ($89 at B&H Photo) This bundle enhances your Captur remote shutter release system by providing a AA battery-powered interval timer module, as well as a receiver for mounting on a camera. Additional receivers are available for firing even more DSLRs. Use this kit with the transmitter you already have, or purchase one separately. As an alternative to wireless operation, the system can function in wired mode, and this kit includes the cables for connecting both the receiver and timer module to the camera. The module features single, continuous, and bulb exposure modes, allowing you to choose from a huge range of exposure times with the continuous and bulb settings.
