One of the reasons I have the little troll you quoted on ignore. It's nice to not have to see his drivel. OP, I enjoyed the pic you posted. -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford

What shooting mode are you in? I beleive you can't be in iAuto or whatever it's called, nor the scene modes. Try setting to PASM and see if it works. -- Ken in...

For AF lenses, I have the following Custom Key Settings: AF/MF Button - AF/MF control Right Key - AF/MF Select Key B - ISO Key C - Shoot Mode When I'm using MF glass, I change the AF/MF...

Hmmm. How about this - hold your thumb over the proximity sensor so the back display turns off, then press the DISP button (top of ring) to see if any of the alternate VF display modes...

I've found my NEX-7 is pretty sensitive to eye placement - being off-axis more than a little leads to blurriness. -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford

I've been meaning to find a DOF calculator - thanks for the tip! -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford

Good to know - thanks for reporting back! -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford

There was a time that most non-normal primes were f/2.8 or slower, and only the highest price primes were f/2 or faster. I still think in those terms. Most people had the fastest 50 they could...

Are you carrying the camera on a strap when this happens? I'm wondering if the EVF sensor is keeping it awake, especially if you have Eye-Start AF enabled. -- Ken in...

Correct - that's what I see, too. -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford

Live View Display (setting effect, page 123 of the manual) is defaulted to ON. -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford

I'm very used to a 35/75 combination on film, so I would go for the 50 with no reservations. But that's me... -- Ken in Illinois http://www.pbase.com/kjford
