Please understand that the problem is very real for some Alpha 1 users, and there is currently no solution. “If your Alpha 1 doesn’t have this problem that’s fine, but please don’t be dismissive or downplay the problem for those of us who do. “This happens with all unstabilized lenses and happens about 50% of the time for me during normal use,” Dean said. In posts on a Sony Alpha 1 Facebook group, Dean discovered that while he wasn’t the only one experiencing the problem, it didn’t seem to happen to everyone. In PetaPixel’s original cover, he demonstrated the problem as it happened several times.ĭean originally worked with Sony to get his Alpha 1 unit replaced, but when he noticed the same issue on the new camera, he knew it wasn’t an isolated issue. He reported that through what appears to be normal, standard use, his Alpha 1 sometimes did not trigger its IBIS mechanism for several seconds, often causing him to miss a shot. The IBIS issue was noticed and recorded by photographer Jamieson Dean. Today Sony released new firmware that fixes both issues to the community’s delight. This, combined with problems with the electronic viewfinder (EVF), had upset a large number of users. In May, PetaPixel reported an In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) bug in the Sony Alpha 1 camera.
