p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Anyone else using the Meike MK-A9 Battery Grip? Mine is resetting my camera menu settings.


I've owned this grip and the A7riii for about 2 weeks now. The grip has been working flawlessly until a shoot yesterday, at which point when I turn the grip off (while leaving the camera power in the On position, which was the advice given on the Amazon product page), it resets a lot of the camera menu settings I have assigned (from what I can tell, mostly category 1 - RAW type, Drive Mode, etc), though not my custom key settings.

I have no idea why it began doing this.

It's now behaving this way every time I try it.

If I turn the camera power off and leave the grip power set to ON then this doesn't happen, but the advice I read on the Amazon page for this product gave the exact opposite advice, which I'd been following without issue until yesterday.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've never turned off my grip, always just turn off the camera. My Meike is on the A9, not the A7R3 but I'd assume it would be similar. Maybe though the recent A7R3 FW changed something with how they communicate??

I'll try doing it that way then. Odd that for 5 shoots the other way worked. Ah well, it's probably 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other.
Thanks.
