Koala

Good ideas; thank you all.

Thanks.  I hadn't thought about earplugs but I will now.

I often shoot things in trees (Koalas mostly) and I have trouble getting AF to focus on the animal and not the branches around it.  How do I get the subject in focus when there are many interfering...

A99+A77 with 70-400, 16-50, and 50-200.  Going to F-1 race in Melbourne soon and planning on a safari this year [or should we buy a house :)]What's the best combo?  The 77 with the 400 gives me 600...

thanks to you all for the help.

I am going to the F-1 in Melbourne and have excellent seats near a corner.  Is there a primer somewhere on line about shooting a car race?  I have an A99 with 16-50, 70-400, and 50-200.Appreciate...

Are you able to convert the RAW files from the A99?  I questioned this on another thread and it seems Sony hasn't updated PSE 11 (latest) yet so I'm stuck with JPEG, extra-fine.

I HAVE the latest version (PSE 11) but it doesn't have the update for the A99.

I'm not an idiot.

thanks, that was helpful.

I did that but still doesn't list an update.

I checked the Adobe site and I don't find the update for RAW files for the A99.  It seems I need v 7.2 or 7.3.  Where can I get these?Thanks for your help.

Sorry to ask a basic question, but how do I check on which firmware I have, and, if there is an update, how do I load it? Thanks.

Thank you all; just what I needed.

I haven't seen a thread for filters recently. I just bought an A77 and so far have a 55-200 lens, a 16-50, and will buy the 70-200 or 70-400 and then a macro lens. I'd like to hear from some of...

that's what I tried but once you download a bunch of files, there's no indication of what to do with them nor how to install. I didn't even know which of about 20 files I needed to install.

I use elements 9 and it won't let me download from the A-77. I know I need to download the new software but when I try (camera raw 6.5) I get a bunch of files without any instruction as to how to...
