That is good advise which I have never done before even though I have taken dozens, perhaps a bit over 100, shots at 30s exposure time. I haven't seen any wobbles, but that doesn't mean there are none.

If you stabilize the camera (tripod, bean bag, sit on railing, etc.) and use 3/10sec timer it does wonderful for night shots.  Then you can use lower iso and long(er) shutter speed.

Keep cycling thru the 'disp' button which is default the top of back dial.

Last summer I jumped into a deep pool along a river in a wilderness on a 105F day.  Swam for a couple minutes then remembered my RX100mkII was in my pocket.  (Reminder:  Always skinny deep when in ...

The Va is fine.  Matched all my settings from the II where applicable. I only use RAW except of course of panoramas, of which I shoot many. I am finding the jpeg panorama to be dull & flat compared ...

It doesn't really matter the camera model. Use as wide angle as possible. Set the aperture as wide as possible (lowest f-stop) Set the shutter duration as long as camera allows (usually 30s for a ...

Ahhh, RTFM. ;) http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSCRX100_guide/en/contents/04/02/11/11.html So there are three smile level settings.  Agreed it should default at 'slight.' Also learned no hat ...

Out of curiosity was playing with this. Set RX100 mk5a with screen flipped forward. Then sat maybe 6 feet away with wife and framed ourselves in center, us being about 50% of frame. We could get ...

The 5 screen tilts up (and forward) as much as the 6.  The difference is it only tilts down 45 vs 90deg.  I've used a 2 for years and never wanted more down tilt.  Also in the rare case one needs ...

It is slower, but apparently the image stabilization has also improved which some reports say make up for the slower lens. In my case I like taking night shots at iso160 (or higher if needed) f1.8 ...

Thanks Elliot. I remember you from years back. I too use AMZ-Prime. I wondered about those bundled deals if they had any downside. The one you linked to above is sold by Beach Camera, I had a ...

Yep, it seems like all the sellers have 'em for $898 ($900) right now, some camera only, some with low quality accessories included too. I've bought cameras/lenses from B&H, Adorama and Amazon (not ...

I bought a mkII when new and have been using it heavily ever since. I mostly use the wide end of the lens. I rarely use my Canon 30D anymore. A few months ago I went swimming with the RX100mkII - ...
