the eyes got light!!

Congrats hazril!! Such a joy!

thanx for all the wishes guys...going out to take my wife and newborn back home...later i spam some pictures...

R the eyes light up! any flash or external lighting!

Just done a photo shoot with a totally inexperienced girl to try out the new camera. The reaction time for the a77 is fantastic!! EVF and live view and tilt screen combo is really a win! I also love the face detection and DMF! Also tried out the various picture styles.. Seems rather interesting especially the retro and toy camera

Cool!! U will love it more! anyway I hv yet to try this DMF...

NUtz, evankeat: the eyes are reflective blue. I positioned my flashes to reflect off them.

2 flash setup. DIY diffuser/softbox on the right and stofen on the left. You can see that the reflections on the right side is much softer and gradual.

Why don wan to try? maybe not so much use in landscapes though.


By the way do you guys know that you can autofocus during the transition between EVF and live view? So let's say if suddenly got a movin object coming towards your way you could already AF before lifting it to your eyes. With face detection on you should be able to nail the shot without back focusing. Have yet to try though. This is just my theory.

i have new unused set. pm me your offer if u want

I miss the dedicated button/switch for metering though...now have to dive into menu to activate it.. not a big hassle though..

I don't know about you, but the matrix metering in the 77 is bloody good, i keep it in matrix all the time and keep the AEL as it is, so when i need spot metering, i just toggle the AEL and instant spot metering.

toy photo mode

Unlike a300 with 41 segment, the a77 has full sensor 1200zone metering. How accurate can u get? Leaving it at full matrix metering rocks, anything else, the dro will help brighten up.

And, AND, if face detection detected a face, the metering prioritizes the face metering! How greater can it get?

That's what u been missing le zstan.... And that what's everyone doesn't know bout Sony tech.

damn...your statement just made my a300 like ancient history...

Opps! Sony Malaysia kaputed! got problem with the A57 firmware! Again??

EvanKeat: DMF replaces AF-A (arguably, it should be on AF-S).

I'll be coming for the TT but dang it's early for a Sunday! Will bring my 135mm STF and Samyang 35mm F1.4.

zstan: I find AEL/Spot Metering redundant with an EVF camera - you already can see if something is underexposed and quickly turn the rear dial to change EV! (If you have set this.)

lwliam: Would be quite cool for Megatron's head to be floating in darkness.
