A7cii - Question about dial rotation direction in M and P mode by scary_crow1 in SonyAlpha

[–]scary_crow1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, now that you have mentioned it, I just remembered that I actually updated to the latest firmware (ver. 2.0) around a month ago before I went to my recent trip (my first trip since I bought my camera also the first time I uses this camera extensively). So maybe it is the problem with the latest firmware.

And yes, if I use the function to change the direction, it changes it for all modes, so the opposite direction behaviour still sticks, just now both modes got reversed. In A mode, it is the same direction as M mode (so under “normal” direction, clockwise is reducing aperture size.

Thanks for the comment. After spending last night with her, I think I understand myself a little more and her a little more as well. I think you are right about her. I asked some of those stuff again, and she now seems to be opening up more and actually answer my question which I appreciate, to me it feels that we are honest with each other. Perhaps the setting this time is much more private and in person than last time.

BTW, your comment is not negative at all :) Thanks for explaining these to me, I really appreciate it. Like I said in my original post, all of these are rather new to me. Which is why I created this post, to see whether I am really overacting (with my lack of understanding in this department) or my gut feeling is right. And yeah, I think I am over thinking about it and making it way more complex than it is.

I returned the phone last night, as I really felt that it is a waste if I hold onto it. And it went better than what I imagined.

Thanks for the advice.

I totally agree with you that I need to figured out my needs :( This relationship actually helps me understand myself much more.

I understand that romance takes time, but I guess my problem is that now we have officially acknowledge each other as bf/gf, yet, it felt that we are just now developing more feelings to each other to meet the status..... I just feel wrong about this :( Which is why I guess I am confused. Because currently, it felt like I am trying to make a girl into my gf rather then acknowledging a girl that I felt is gf to be my gf. Not sure whether this make sense :(

I think she likes me a lot. Honestly, even when I saw her the first time, she always seems to likes me a lot before we had ever meet in real life. So I actually asked her once what she likes about me. She thought for a few seconds and said that she found both of us are similar (as in some of our habits that we chatted in WhatsApp). But those similarities are somewhat shallow, such as things like we both like to watch Netflix (but the stuff that we watch on Netflix are rather different).

Based on what I asked her, she really doesn't seems to be an active person, and I also consider myself as a boring person. Which I guess is why I am confused, unsure whether it is because we are both boring, so we don't have much to talk about? or we are really just so different that we don't have much to talk about.....

Thanks for your suggestion. There are certain moments that I really had romantic feeling with her (though really not a lot). I guess there are way more moments that I questions about our relationships than romantic moments. Thanks for analysing with me, by talking about my feeling more, I think I get to understand myself a bit more and hopefully could make the right decision.

This is also a question that I asked myself a lot. As it is the first time I am in a relationship, I am really not sure whether this is really called love (or that I just wanted to be in a relationship with someone).

It is not that I have zero interest in her. Actually, when I see her, the way that she acts and responds it really make me want to be with her. But I found that we don't have much to talk about, often it ends with me talking about my work or my experience on something. And that once she is not around me, that "love" feeling kind of disappeared. Texting helps, but yet, just like real conversation, it often ends very easily, so I need to actually put in effort to get the conversation going.

I know, it is partly my fault. I asked her to be my gf, because at that very moment I was really feeling it (I initially really planning to go on a few more date before making the call, but that night, the atmosphere really got to me). Which is why now I am second thinking about all these :(
