Sony tells DSLR shooters they're idiots

Personally I don't have a problem shooting 90% of the time in full manual, but many do it seems, since it requires a little knowledge of what all the options mean :-) That's not, generally, the reason. Though I'm sure sometimes it is. The reason is often that it slows you down. If you're shooting fast-moving action in unstable light, it can slow you down significantly -- depending on how "fast-moving" the action is, even devestatingly. I find the opposite just as often. Trying to set overides every time I move the camera even if the light hasn't changed, simply because there is more backlight, or some other reason the camera gets it wrong. Why not simply hit the exposure lock button when it gets it right or you've adjusted the compensation to get it where you want it? Then you can move the viewpoint as much as you like without changing exposure. Lack of fingers. And I don't know if it even works right -- what happens if I change the exposure compensation while holding exposure lock? (And I'm using that finger, which is my thumb, to control the AF, it's not available for AEL.) -- Googleproofaddress(account:dd-b provider:dd-b domain:net) Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info |
