FIRST TIME TO USE THE SONY A1 II 19/07/2025
Today, I embarked on a photographic outing, eager to test my new Sony A1 II combined with the FE 28-70mm F2 lens. My initial plan was to visit St Anne's Park; however, being a Saturday, it proved to be an oversight. The park was exceptionally busy due to The Red Stables Food Market, which operates every Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.
As a fallback, I decided to explore the serene nature reserve area accessible via James Larkin Road and Causeway Road. Unfortunately, my plans were curtailed when my camera's battery unexpectedly ran out after only about 220 images. To my dismay, the spare, an original Sony battery, was inexplicably rejected by the camera, bringing my photographic venture to an early close.
