Need data on Focus Mode & Shutter

image with stripingHello

I am getting striping on some images using a Sony A7iii and an FE 1.8/85 lens.

To analyse these RAW images, I need to find data on focus mode and whether the shutter was mechanical or electronic for each image

I am a Mac/Adobe user and have not found this information in Lightroom, Photoshop or Preview.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to find this information?

Thanks

The best way to see the full list of metadata inside sony’s raw is to use imaging edge for desktop.

Spoiler: strips inside your pic in artificial light are for sure due to the silent shutter use

Thank you danardeng

I will have a look in Image Edge.

Have you experienced this?

I have many images from the same shoot, taken with the electronic shutter in the same lighting, that don't have striping, I was hoping to find a way to get around it as I need to shoot silently during performances.

Thanks again for your response

It’s deprecated to use silent shutter with artificial light and moving subjects. The only cameras that can work in those situations are the one with global shutter or full stacked sensors (only A9 and A1 series at the moment).

Hi there,

Not sure you will find all of this data in Imaging Edge, as mine only shows partial Exif data. There is a free tool called exiftool and this will show you what you want as it seems to show everything. Its really clunky (just drop your file on the .exe) but it shows loads and under "shutter" you will see what shutter was used.

Try using a slower shutter speed - I'm guessing its a function of the mains frequency, so perhaps it needs to be a shutter speed that is a factor of that perhaps?
