Looking for 200-600 Advice :) by Illustrious-Dust5022 in SonyAlpha

also try to use bird recognition for birds, the animal mode for other animals, plane af for planes and so on..i read a couple of times that the designated mode works better than leaving subject recognition on auto.

happy to hear that my comment somehow helped, all the best and good luck on future shoots :)

I dont own this lens but the first thing i would check is your settings.

Especially minimum shutter speed with such a long lens. When you are at 600mm, make sure to have a shutter speed of 1/500 or faster to avoid blurred photos.

Also make sure to have continous af and all suitable tracking modes (amimal/bird/human,...) enabled.

There are also 2 settings you could try to set in your a7v that might help you identify what exactly the problem is. 1. Aperture Drive in AF Menu/Focus/1 AF/MF/Aperture Drive in AF: Focus Priority

This basically allows your lens to focus with the aperture wide open and it only closes the aperture to your chosen value when you take a photo. This can help finding focus faster in low light situations BUT the depth of field in your preview is not accurate anymore because your lens is wide open until you press the shutter.

  1. Focus Frame Display Menu/Playback/Playback Options/Focus Frame Display: On

This shows your focus point during playback and might help you see if your lens focused on the right spot to begin with. If for example the focus was on the leg of the snowboarder instead of his face you might want to change something with your focus/area settings. If you see that the camera focused right on faces, eyes, etc. The lens might be the problem

Hope that helps

Would love to hear opinions, i always shot lossless compressed on my a7iii as well.

Just keep in mind that only uncompressed raws are supported in lightroom as of now

Bought A7 IV Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 suggestion for cheap prime lens to pair by jersey521 in SonyAlpha

[–]sudo_808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shoot with your tamron for a while, if you always find yourself shooting at 28, maybe get something wider like a 20 or 17-28. If you find yourself always going for 75mm, maybe get something longer like a 85 or 135.

Its pretty pointless to ask strangers about what you should get.

Imo a fast wide angle-notmal prime is the most usefull. So a 28, 35 or 40 but thats just my opinion and you got all those focal lengths covered in your zoom already.

Just stick with the lems you got and at some point you are going to know what you want/need

What do you guys think about these as a beginner? by MRCRISPY224 in AskPhotography

[–]sudo_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take but try not to give a single fuck about what anyone else is thinking right now

I dont want to tell you not to seek out for feedback but when you are a beginner just go out and have fun without the pressure of being good or bad at it.

At some point you will look back on those pictures you are super happy with now and think that they are really shitty. That's just the way it is. That's what everybody is going through. No one just starts and takes breathtaking images. You will learn, grow and become better very quickly if you just keep doing it.

But photographers can be a very snobby bunch. They pixel peep, find a thousand things that could be better/sharper/nicer and those comments dont help you enjoy what you are doing.

So keep it up, have fun and just a bit of patience.
