Maybe the movie industry will bounce back like vinyl and film when enough folks begin to recognise that they do in fact miss the good old days. Or perhaps not enough will and we are doomed to…well, doom scrolling. I refuse myself not to (use my phone whilst watching something) not simply on point of principal, but because I have an actual interest in watching shows and movies and not simply having them on as background noise whilst I check every 30 seconds people I don’t know or care about, have acknowledged my existence. Or what they just had to eat. -
Thanks John for the app suggestion. I use PhotoMechanic for pics and have done for probably at least a decade and it’s my culling software. I do think it was having identical named files 🫣 in both S1RII’s that was causing me the issues because at first I thought it was the latest stoopid Premiere update, but seems the stoopid one was the user…

Cinema is going the way of the railroad. A novelty experience. Why hire a crew to film your car commercial when you can prompt AI to have a car do donuts in the desert with a AI narrator? People are too apathetic and dumb to know the difference between real and fake anymore. I haven't been to a movie theater since Dunkirk. I haven't had a killer movie experience since like "The Matrix" or "Lord of the Rings". People are overworked, overwhelmed, and underprepared for this AI Idiocracy we are barreling towards. People are filling that feeling of impending upheaval with distractions. I for one have canceled most of my subscriptions or upgrading to a new phone "just because there is a new one". Fuck the instagrams, facebooks, and tiktoks of the world. Scrolling physically makes me sick now and I'm actually glad for it. They don't get to monetize my attention anymore. -

This is how I name all my footage: 2025-11-23_16-49-13_S5M2.MOV I do this with a free app called XNviewMP. This has served me well for finding date, time of day, and camera. Here's the renaming template: {Creation Date[Y-m-d_H-M-S]}_S5M2 On each import, I can select the last template used for a particular camera. I just use the Finder for finding files. For photos, it's a little more complicated: {EXIF:Date Taken [Y-m-d_H-M-S]}_City_Country_{EXIF:Model}_{EXIF:Focal Length}mm_F{EXIF:F-Number}_ISO{EXIF:ISO Value}_{EXIF:Exposure Time} -
I second it, in terms of the A7 cii. High Iso grain is not as blotchy as in the A7iv, and honestly, the evf was one of the reasons to switch from the A7iv. The body is so big that the centered evf is very uncomfortable to use, at least when you have a big nose like me. Additionally, it somewhat flashes the eye in a rather stressfull way. From that perspective, I find the more ‚low res’ evf on the A7c ii to be more comfortable to use. While video on that sensor is beyond any doubt, with stills, I‘ve struggled on both cameras to get the raws right, i.e. realistic, more often than not. Counterintuitively, the highlights are more malleable than the shadows, and the greens tend to be rather harsh and hard to bring back into line.
