A7s II Shutter button issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All,

My backup camera an A7s ii as of this morning not wanting to take a picture, it will focus with a half press of the shutter, but when i fully press the shutter button... nothing.  I tried a complete reset, leaving the battery out and nothing. 

Next I tried the battery grip and i can take a picture using that.  I just feel it is janky to use it that way.  It is my back up body, so I am not paniced yet, but i have a big job coming up in a few weeks...  Should I just biy a few of the replacement part from encompass and spend the time trying to repair it or just use the battery grip to take pics with it if I have to?  Any suggestions or others that have had this problem?

I will have my a7r iv to be my primary camera with the a7s ii being my secondary with a prime on it and my second shooter will be using my a99ii + 24-70.

	Usually I have this when I have set the camera to 10 seconds delay - as you tried a complete reset, that is not it. Also, it works with the grip. As it works with the grip, it sounds to me like a faulty switch in the shutter button. Most likely just dirty? I don't know how easy it is to clean shutter buttons of the A7 series cameras. I know some SLT cameras suffered from dirty dials, there some threads in that.
