Yalor, only a77 can capture lighting.
Tomolo all please go buy a77 if wanna capture lighting

you need a77 lens CA

Why so? I don't see any major chromatic abberations in those shots.

Furthermore, the current A77 doesn't have the lens profile for that fisheye to do any correction.

bcos i never saw you using A700 to shoot lighting mah one you get A77 can shoot laio! Awesome!

thx..

huh?...why say so??..

lwliam: eh, what WB u use...damn nice colors!

You should say, I pindah rumah to apartment edi then can get to shoot lightning... Macam itu baru betul la...

AWB

somehow...im not sure if its the new sensor or the lens...
the picture produced seems more sensitive to blue/light blue instead of most sony DSLR's RED

william any idea? compare to your A700 and A77

make fun with him only

Hahaha, don't know... for the things I shoot, there's not much need for color accuracy. As long when it comes out, blue turns out blue, red is red, green is green, orange is not apple, then for me settle already.

My images from A77 doesn't actually turn out particularly cooler than from the A700. Except that now a lot of my shots are a tiny bit underexposed due to the much much wider dynamic range of the sensor when my exposure compensation is at 0 (zero). I was using the body's metering, so it has nothing to do with the translucent mirror. The histogram is smack right in the middle and the peaks are all concentrated in the center - indicating everything is within range. So I have to expose right to get things back to where I want. Then again, I was using matrix metering as opposed to center weighted or spot which could be more precise. Zone focusing is pretty handy where you don't have to cycle along all individual focusing spots to get where you want. It's very precise for everyday use. For the extra finesse, there's always local focus points to choose from.

Funny, I don't see any lighting in william's photo. Lightning then got la.

Kthxbai.

Got ma... those lights in the condo.. considered lighting also wad... huhuhuhu

err...i mean its more sensitive to blue...when the blue is there

for example:


Contrast +1
Saturation normal
Sharpness normal

i tweaked in lightroom and desaturated the blue abit...but still, kinda vivid~

hmm..but the colour is more saturated than the colour in my raw eyes...
DRO off

maybe...but this is not an issue la...just sharing...because my previous A500 is more sensitive in red colour~
and made red colour's dynamic range very low(no details)
