People are setting the jpeg settings to contrast-3. This affects the evf view as well an hence gives you more dynamic range in the evf. If you are a jpeg shooter, this will obviously affect...

Had a crazy thought - Has anyone tried using one of the sigma 1.6x md-ma (or an ai-ma) autofocusing converters paired to a la-ea2 to a nex cam? My understanding is that some of the later...

I'm not sure about your experience with flash, so my apologies if this is common knowledge for you, but the techniques described in this website our...

based on your fairly recent questions about the camera, it seems that you have not had much time to learn the camera and were starting from a fairly limited familiarity of its use. (did you ever...

The nex cameras dont have great focusing, but there should be no reason those photos should be that out of focus. IF you focus recompose on say their t-shirts where there is more contrast, it...

This was in response to the op's statement I'm not advocating face detection use (and I forgot about it being available in my initial response when I was saying using a 50 at 1.8 casually may...

But theres a lot of blame the equipment threads going on, when it's just amazing how much equipment can do for us now. After re-reading your initial and follow up posts, it seems like you want a...

In regards to the 50mm @ 1.8, actually with face detection, you might get away with quick casual snaps. But the focus system won't be perfect so you would still want to be a little careful if...

The lens is a zoom lens for a reason - it allows you to use different focal lengths for different composition. As others have stated, you should use the 55mm focal length for the portraits. Just...

Continuous af for stills

I tried to simulate your setting with a dimmed chandelier light. I wasn't able to exactly replicate the issue, but playing around with some variables I was able to make the nex (I use the 5 not 5n,...

background could be a bit dark but sill leaving the ambiance of the environment, also the light temperature usually will be mixed, flash and tungsten). Why not gel your flash?

Do we have any sense of how many a-mounters can track swifts and swallows (with an ovf)? And of those how many have really tried with an A77? Those numbers would be really helpful for the...

Thanks a lot for the answer

does the camera continue to focus in the 10 fps mode with the laea2, or is the focus still fixed?

re: panorama exposure, I'm pretty sure that if you half press the shutter at your desired location, it will lock exposure and focus.

I assume to catch the right moment/ expression

Haven't done side by side testing, but I feel like the cz is still just a touch sharper (note I only have an a700, so not sure if the difference is bigger on the a77 or a99). The biggest image...

I am not an expert in flash, but it seems like you may want to try some changes to your flash technique. Broadly speaking more flash in the daylight scenes and less in the reception. The outdoor...
