Hi Jack and fellow Alphatographers, We'll all trickle back in after our holiday preoccupations. What did you all do in your absence? Me? I TRIED to buy a...
I saw the A900 over at the SONY Style store, in Woodfield Mall (Schaumburg, IL). They were most helpful and really wanted to demonstrate the powerful aspects...
Still recuperating from surgery but I'm almost back to 85-90% now. I did answer a question from Lisa about her new A350. I would love an A900 but $3K+...
... am surprised that Sony US do not have anything similar! As it is just a promotional site, and for the UK at that, what is there to join please? ... Nice...
Hi George - I do hope you will be feeling better very quickly!! We can't let these things keep us from shooting!!!! :)  Take care and I'll be waiting for...
Hi! I just bought a used a100 from B&H photo! This is my first dslr so I'm pretty excited. It didn't come with a manual so I ordered a guide from amazon....
... Nice to hear from you, Mary. I think you will find members of this group to be very helpful. You will love your A100. I bought one several years ago and...
Welcome, Mary. We are very glad you are here! You are going to LOVE the A100 and if you have any questions at all - feel free to ask. There are NO dumb...
Hi Kat, Thanks for the well wishes. Yeah, I'll just have to make do with my A700, Maxxum 7D, and Maxxum 9 film. It's a mute point for me right now anyway since...
Hi Mary, Welcome to the group. Don't be shy. You're already on the right track by purchasing a manual. That's the sign of a learner. Even though I don't have...
Congratulations Mary for good choice with camera. Besides the other book you ordered at Amazon, you can also download the original manual in English from Sony...
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I guess I should have mentioned that I'm kind of computer limited right now. No downloads for poor little me. No...
When using the A300 in the viewfinder mode there is a single digit number (usually a 2, 5, 6 or 9) that appears just to the left of the super steady shot...
It refers to number of shots you can shoot in continuous mode until camera slows for storing the photos to the card. You can try: put on the continuous drive...
I had a feeling that it must be something like that, but I couldn't understand the correlation between the number, the image type raw or jpeg, the image size...
Some one was asking about Sony A100 manuals. It is available on line at: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DSLRA100.pdf You can also get other model manuals at:...
I just purchased the HVL-F58 for my A700. Now, I'm still in the "shake-down", experimental mode, but I've been experiencing a slight "greencast" during indoor...
Hi Phil,  I just got my HVL-F58 also. I do not get any color casts.  I shoot in manual mode with auto WB.  Because I've never had a flash like this...
I also shoot RAW - would that make a difference? KopyKat * AKA * Kathy ... From: Kopy Kat <alaskapilgrim@...> Subject: Re: [SonyAlpha] Question about the...
My next strategy will be to find a dealer with a floor model, so I can compare results. Absent of that, I'll contact SONY directly to determine if a...
There are several 'fixes' I've tried, and indeed several work, to varying degrees. But my point is, why should I be doing this -- at the cost of this unit? As...
I hope you have better luck at finding a floor model than I ever did. Maybe you live in a bigger town.  It could just be some sort of wb setting - the...
You know, I just thought of something else. I turn the flash to manuel also - and then play with the different levels of power. That might help. KopyKat *...
... and by the way, folks, I apologize for mis-spelling the word "dedicated" on the title of this message. As photographers, we should all strive to be ever...
Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading my PS plugins for colour control and sharpening. I was just going to upgrade to the latest version of what I use, Colour...
