However, the 16mm has a bit of vignetting left, and distortion beyond the APS-C frame is weird, but it’s not too bad – it can look rather interesting!

Bought a hygrometer, my room shows 50-55% RH, and i saw the suitable RH for dry box is 40-60%, so does it means i dont need a dry box ?

let me give a few examples of a6000 erratic exposure and face recognition


this is when camera can't find the face,perfect exposure,but no soft skin


once the camera detect faces,camera apply soft skin,but exposure hancur


camera can't find faces again,perfect exposure again,but no soft skin


found face,crap exposure


no face found,ok


no face found


face found


no face found


face found

that said,when everything bang on,the detail is just STUNNING

Shitty place. Bought twice from them.
On the 1st order, they listed an item as in stock but 3 days after payment still no word from then so I called. No one answered. I wrote email, spam their FB and still no one replied until 3 days later which is 6 days after payment. The guy told me item is not in stock and ask me to wait another week. Parcel only arrived 14 days later. Delivery from date of payment : 3+3+14 = 20days.

2nd time, a year later. Forgotten how shitty their service is. Ordered something, arrived 3weeks later. This time they didn't bother replying anything. Calls, emails, FB. No I didn't order during holidays and no the order tracking wasn't updated on their website

Just go check their FB to see how poor their service is. I know for sure they delete a lot of negative feedback. They used to have a review section but took it down after streaking countless negative reviews. The review is still listed on my own FB, if anyone wants proof just let me know.

One case where they delete comment is when someone bought a Xiaomi powerbank and claimed it was fake. He backed it with photos. IPMart rep had the balls to tell him that they never stated that it was branded "Xiaomi", the guy proceed to provide an invoice that clearly showed it is stated as Xiaomi. Then IPMart proceed to blame it on the vendor, which was weird since the way they claim that they never said it was branded Xiaomi insinuated that they themselves had control of their own product descriptions. I also have screenshots of this comments prior to deletion.

Later when I saw people had complaints unattended, I provided information and contact details for complaint center; IPMart blocked me off on FB. Seriously. Don't give them business. I'm just thankful I didn't receive fake product but shitty ass follow up and late delivery.

EDIT : Wow, they also disabled Posts by Others.

ya, bought non-camera related things. Fast and reliable.

nope...i havent encountered such problem...im using a77 for wedding jobs and used the face recognition features....

sure bro...tomorrow got job can try out la...

Regarding exposure setup and shooting a person with landscape, Are we supposed to use Multi Mode metering?
I find it better using Multi mode instead of centre or spot for my Nex-5R

wow,what a cliche
so i quit using any features whenever i bump into any difficulties without even trying to make it works,that's genius
the fuss is about making it something work,because when it work,its wonderful,switch it off only serve as the last resort.

How is that face detection thing a 'weakness'? It doesn't make any sense. It's supposed to detect a face. That's all it's supposed to do! Do you expect the camera to frame your shot for you as well? Or help you do some instant editing in Photoshop? Or do you expect 2 different shutter speeds, one for the background and one for the face? Calling the face detection a weakness because it can't get perfect exposure for a backlit photo, which no camera in this world is able to do, shows us your level of knowledge about cameras and their system.

Guys guys control a bit... yok and valentino did a little bashing on the camera but its fine rite? i believe all of us once twice meet some funny issue cant be solve yet too. noone is rite or wrong.... we just trying to express or vent some dissatisfaction only... some more this thread is for us to ask and share knowledge to improve our photography rite? lets share with kindness

give me time to reply everyone's question.

Oh yes I'm glad you got it right. I am indeed a kid. Why am I not allowed to act like one? If you're not a kid then why aren't you acting like one? Well at least a kid doesn't need to insult a so called 'adult' to prove his point.

Edit: Btw I didn't really read through what you said. Haven't been following Sony's technology for quite some time now so I have no idea what you're talking about. In conclusion, tl;dr.

From:

https://docs.sony.com/release/NEX3N.pdf

"Detects people’s faces automatically, and adjusts focus and exposure to suit the faces."

So it would seem that as far back as the NEX-3N, Face Detection was already exposing for the faces. Would you be able to test both the NEX-3N and A6000 together, both with Face Detection on, to see if the 3N would include the rest of the scene? I was always under the impression that Face Detection always worked that way, and I've used a lotta Sonys from the A100 onwards.

My first camera with Face Detection, the Sony Cybershot W190, would struggle with extremely backlit faces because it would not recognize the face. If the 3N and A6000 meter exactly the same when Face Detection is successful, then it might just be a case of the 3N not detecting the face as often, being older technology.


This was from when I tested the Sony Alpha 550 with Face Detection.

Face Detection sets the (nearest) AF point to the detected face, and adjusts exposure and white balance accordingly. Top: Face Detection off; bottom: Face Detection on. Notice that while Face Detection did adjust exposure for the face, it did so conservatively in this case (2/3rds of a stop brighter.)
(From http://glaringnotebook.com/?p=1336 - so it might seem that they went from a conservative compensation to something deemed more consumer-friendly.)

I personally enjoy Face Detection because it saves me the step of spot metering on a face that is backlit. However, by reflex I would adjust exposure if it was too bright, like in your situation.

with panasonic,olympus, u can half press the shutter,the camera will lock on to the object very reliably
not sure if you owned them, but those are much smaller sensor, its full of DOF, simply shoot anything also sharp.... thats the downside of FF, everything you shoot also blur. hahahaha....

1) to illustrate this problem,try lock on focus (its a feature,i use it for "quick focus then recompose" technique) with sony at a moderate busy place,then try on olympus or panasonic,you'll know what i mean
something wrong with my A6000, i cant find the setting  or did u say it wrongly? did u mean focus-lock? then recompose. if u are talking about how it refocus on other stuff instead of staying on what u lock on. then its the Focus-Mode issue. set it to AF-A should solve your problem i guess (just guessing la, coz i still dont quiet catch the lock on focus)

i think there is a simple solution of this problem...
just use bracketing exposure...
it will capture 3/5 frames...
later pick the one you like under/over/perfect exposure...
jangan gado-gado...
