Hi, perhaps the following article escaped from your attention because it's not right about the RX10IV. However it may help at least as a guide line: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/9738160607/gui ...

Hi, this type of AutoISO operation exists - but I'm afraid that it doesn't exist on the RX100III AFAIK. The AutoISO itself has been improved over the time, first allowing to set limits and ...

Well, back in film times average photographer might have exposed some 10th of rolls of film, each 24-36 exposures. So from own experience I know that other than those usual shots taken on fixed ...

Hi, yes, as far as I remember that's the main and only purpose to imprint by light the data to the shot.

Hi, did you notice the update in the OP's post?

Hi, not sure if this will help somehow because I've been shooting A99 and now A99II with Metz flashes. The common most demanding situation for me is sports at night, usually night runs. While I'm ...

Hi, what you are experiencing with the magenta cast in the shadows in your RX100vi files I noticed some years ago also in RAW files of my RX10mk1. If I remember correctly the problem was solved in ...

Hi, afterall every tool or aid that increases the grip and distributes the forces uniformly is worth a try. Rubber, a leather belt etc. And just to remember it's not only along the ring. One could ...

Ahh. :-) This explains why I didn't find any of the stitching errors unfortunately common in the in-camera pano mode on the Rx10Mk3/4. Yes, this cam allows doing excellent panos - as long as they ...

Hi, possible reason that come into my mind: 1) Spot meter used for exposure metering, pointed to something dark(er); 2) Sticky aperture which means that the aperture blades don't shut to the ...

As was already said, the choosen subject of the photo in your comparison is not well suited to analise the point. In any case, the APS-C file is for sure smaller than the FF file. That's an ...

Hi, it's worth to separate between what is considered an "economic total loss" (in insurance company's logic) and a total loss under technical aspects - like water damage when some failures like ...

While I agree with the basic idea of this it also runs into the practical limitation that a deadline has to be set. If 30 days, 60 days, 90 days: at the end there will be always somebody who made ...

Indeed. Lacking coverage at the WA end when shooting a FF lens in APS-C this happens occasionally. Mostly in situations when I don't want to switch to full 42MP just to get the wider view... ...

Hi, is this to be meant a serious inquiry? Longer exposure time in FF shot; Much larger file size w/o "more content" in the FF shot; A lot of dead space in the FF shot; This isn't however a ...

Well, yes and no. Of course while covering sports events and shooting them in APS-C mode there's hardly need (and time) for a switch to FF. But when doing wildlife for instance, depending on my ...

Hi, the more FL range you want to have covered on a single lens the more you have to give up on either IQ or aperture (or actually on both). While I also consider the A99II an excellent performer ...

Hi, since updating my A99 to an A99II almost a year ago I've been using the cam much more in APS-C mode than in FF. In my case it's basicly in action photography when I'm sure that no resolution ...

Hi, well, sounds like a not so happy camper... Just to add though that nothing what you're mentioning reflects my experience owning currently four different Sony cams. Re #1: Well, the menu ...

Well, I'm fine with that. And certainly every successfull shot is well deserved by the photographer. I recognize the appeal of this type of cameras. It's just not my piece of cake.
