You are using "center" priority exposure. Probably AEL w/ Shutter is off (or auto), and Live View Display Set. is not on Exposure Effect otherwise you had recognize the difference of exposure while shooting them. I don't see any exposure compensation in both pics.   I don't know which AF setting you are using, I hope AF-C with face recognize that work great on A1. (it have an influence on exposure that I'll explain later). The firmware version (in not updated) could help to find some known issues on the function).   If you look at your photos you can see that the contrast between subject and background is really hight, so the exposure meter strategy is delicate. - In the firsrt the center (where the meter read exposure in "center" mode) is on the face of your man. Consequently your result is almost right with background overexposed.   - In the second the center (where the meter read exposure) is on the light in background. So your result is exposed for the light in background and your subject is dark.     What I suggest (but feel free to ignore my poor experience): - use Multi-pattern metering, it work better than other in 90% of situations - use Exposure Effect to see in live view the final result of your pics (it's one of best skills of mirrorless system) - use face recognize. I prefer to use it on assigned button (classic "AF-ON" rear button) to be able to choose if use it or not in different situations - [opzional] use AEL w/ Shutter -> on   With those settings, when you are in a scene like the your with high contrast from subject and backgroun, when you enable face recognize (AF-ON in my case) the camera will expose for the face regardless for the background. If you don't use face recognize, your shoot sequence will be more similar also if at the center of the frame fall a hot point or a dark point. In this case you can easly use exposure compensation wheel to find your best regulation. The advantage of AEL w/ Shutter, is that (in AF-C) your exposure is locked from first to last pic of your sequence (that you can regulate with exposure comp.) untill you release the button.   In hard situation like your. metering is so hard. Your settings and techniqe must be perfect ... View more

It’s a mechanism, there is a reason for any results. I wouldn’t tech to you to shot a pic (if someone invest in a A1 I agree that his ability is adequate), but to understand how a new gear work and how to use better.   But if you don’t need for any help, I don’t want force nobody.

For sure it’s not a problem of your camera, but your settings or your technique. - have you updated to the last camera firmware?

It's too early, A7Rv's RAWs are not supported yet from other than Sony's software (ImagingEdge for desktop and for mobile). Surely soon they will be supported by Cameraraw (on personal computer) and lightroom (on iOS). For native OS support you will probably have to wait a longer time. ... View more

@terfarr78 wrote: thank you for responding to my question  yes - both cameras are genuine from a shop that deals directly with sony, i will only buy from them as i heard there are copies out there and i know they will be new un-used ect I meant the Adobe copy. Of course the cameras are authentic i had seen that list before but could not find the a1 but had read is was, so that was becaming a little confusing my  ls and ps are yearly subscriptions from adobe direct  i have all in place and used the a7r iv without knowing anything with no issues 😻😻😻 - so when all this was happening, i was at a lose and only got passed around by support doing nothing it was just getting me confused A1 is listed, made a search as "ILCE-1" text inside the page   as you have mentioned and i have literally found out this morning - they are not compatible yet and looks like weeks away - not sure why such a company would be behind with this - but as i am not a tech person, so i guess there must be reasons A7Rv is a too new model, global support will arrive soon as any other model   thank you for imagingedge i will take a look - i think did download it but it looks very weird on my screen and not very easy to do anything in but if i can just at least convert a raw at least that will be something thank you again for taking the time to answer my question has been helpful xt   ...

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html A1 is supported, so you shuld open it if you have a genuine and updated copy of cameraraw (the engine of both LR and PS). A7Rv is still not supported as in most of all third party software, but it should come soon. You can try to use ImagingEdgeDesktop to open and convert, than use your standard workflow. ... View more

The last layer of any LCD panel is a polarizer filter (actually, each pixel on LCD don't appear and disappear on the panel, but change his polarization, so it's a basic characteristic). The same filter of sunglasses and photographic lens. So it's normal by the origin of LCD.   Not all LCD are affected by this why (as photographic filters) is possible to use also "circular" filter (more expensive than classics), that limit that effect.   So, short answer: it's normal on non-hight range LCD ...

It could be the memory card damaged also if you can see on the camera. Is possible that it has lost some format data, but the files are still inside. Probably you need for a rescue software (usually the memory card brand supply any freeware software license with the card).   On the other side you should use a new memory card on the camera: any sign of data loss, is a sign of card deadlines.   Try a new card, insert on the camera, format on the camera, shoot some random picture, try now to download to your laptop  ...

That's really strange. Are you able to reproduce the issue? Have you tried without the tamron attached? (I'm thinking that the issue could come from the lens, it is not so strange with tamron).
