My a6300 has developed a problem that I haven't seen described before. The camera flashes a Steady Shot warning any time a lens is zoomed past 20mm, regardless of whether Steady Shot is turned on or off. In addition the viewfinder (and monitor) image "flutters" at all F stops above f/11 for a second or so before it settles down. This occurs with all three lens so it's clearly a camera body problem.The camera does still focus and pictures are fine (so far). Looks like I get to find out about Sony's service. Has anyone else experienced this?

That's not normal. Before sending it in see if you can do a complete reset of the camera.

Thanks E.J. I did try a complete setting reset a couple of times and, other than the joy of setting the camera back up again, no change. I'll call Sony tomorrow and see what they say.
