Hi all, I have a recent issue with curtaining on my Sony A7IV when I use flash. I'm unsure if it's user error or an actual software/hardware malfunction. I've attached two photos taken within seconds of each other, with identical settings. In one photo, I receive curtaining, in the other, there is none. For reference my camera settings for both photos was 1/200th , f.6.3, ISO 50. I tried lowering shutter speed to 1/160th, 1/125th and even lower and still received this issue. The light I used was the Flashpoint Xplor 600. I tried turning on and off high speed sync to see if that was an issue, but still received the same effect. The flash power was at 1/32nd, and changing the power didn't correct the issue. The only way I was able to resolve this issue was by turning off all my equipment and turning it back on. I've never changed settings for my shutter in the menu and have just recently developed this problem. The menu shows: Silent Mode Off Mechanical Shutter e-Front Curtain Shutter Off Release w/o Lens Enable Release w/o Card Enable Anti-Flicker Shooting On I would love some advice on how to correct it if anyone has had a similar issue, or knows what it could be?

What does a typical photoshoot look like you from conception, to conversations, to shooting, proofing, editing, and delivery? How do you go about the experience for your clients/models and how involved are you with every step?

What would you tell others who are thinking about getting into studio lighting but aren't sure where to start?

What advice do you have for connecting with other creators/photographers/models/clients, especially now that you've been traveling and reaching wider markets and cities.

What do you hope to learn and achieve this year as a creator? Who are some of your education inspirations?

What inspirations do you look to for creativity?

Thank you!!! 🥰
