This geatly has improved my hit rate and my timing. Since then this is my and many others basic setting that never will let you down with inpropriate camera settings for the moment.
AF-C is always on and Mark Galer rekommended to use just two Focus Areas - Flexible Spot and Wide - both with tracking always on which made almost the rest of the Focus Areas legacy. I called this configuration “Sony Click”, because it’s really as simple as Kodak Klick but so much smarter. It us one EV between each of these biases.Ĭombined with Sonys Eye Focus and smart hierarchic focus tracking and focus points all over the motifs you have all you need to stop worrying about missing the moments. That function sets the shutter speed to 1/the active focal length of your lens and give you five bias settings Slower, Slow, Standard, Fast and Faster on the rear wheel and a possibility to control the min shutter speed as well on the front exposure is in more than 90% a non issue. The thing is that no camera will for a forseable future fix this because they are compromises optimized for speed not clean images free of noise.Īfter learning about the then new smart automation Auto ISO Minimum Shutter Speed by Mark Galer about five years ago, I got interested. Without postprocessing is a limit for me at at least around 3200 to 6400 and in fact I can get unclean skies or unclean uniform areas even in pretty good light conditions sometimes on ISO down to say 400 - nothing though that Deep Prime can’t fix.
Despite I have used that camera for some years I still see it’s limitations very clear. According to DXO only the brand new Canon R3 is better of the FF-cameras. When Photolab 4 came I had A7III as my main camera and it happens still to have Sonys best low light sensor years later. Since it doesn’t cause any problems for me I use it as default. I shouln’t go so far to say that it doesn’t matter what kind of camera you have got today but more important for the image quality is the post processing tools like Photolab 6 and Deep Prime XD. Actually this has been a thing I have written about since Photolab 4.
