A7rIVa continually writing to cards when using Imaging Edge

When my a7rIVa is connected via WiFi to my Windows 10 computer running the latest Imaging Edge it appears to write continually to the Sonly Tough V90 SD cards.  The bars count down but then renew over and over again and the red light stays on.  The light remains on even when the camera is powered Off, and it is necessary to remove the battery to shut it down.

 

On restarting I get the warning that writing was not completed and then that the card in Slot 1 is corrupted.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, I have:

- swapped the cards over : no difference;

- switch the cards for new ones : no difference;

- performed the 'remove cards and battery, wait 10 minutes, reinsert battery, power on for one minute, power off and reinsert cards : no difference;

- removed battery for 24 hours : no difference

- rebooted PC ; no difference;

- reinstalled Imaging Edge : no difference.

 

The issue only occurs when the camera is connected to IE via WiFi.

 

I am going to try connecting via TetherTools cable (when I can get it back from a borrower!).

 

Anyone else experienced this?  Anyone have any ideas.  It does not appear to be an issue with the camera per se.

Do you meet the same issue with remote control through the app on smartphone?

Hey @FitzFoto 

 

Did you try initializing the camera settings to their factory defaults?
