Using BetterManual on a non AF/MF switching camera results in stuck MF

Open Zekester2097 opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

I learned the hard way that if you install this app onto a WX-line camera or similar AF-only Sony camera, that the camera firmware gets "stuck" in a manual mode forever, as there's no on-screen AF/MF setting. It's almost like it's switched the setting under the hood, but the camera doesn't give access to said setting on that camera model, resulting in the issue.

I didn't even know it was possible to install the app on these models. Did you try a factory reset?

Yes, initializing the camera fixed the issue. Sorry, I kinda forgot to mention that detail.
