• Wondering if the maxxum minolta 3600HS D (GN85) is compatible with the a58 camera?

  I just upgraded to an A290 to the A58 motorway.  I have a Minolta Maxxum 3600HS D flash which was compatible with the A290 and I was wondering if anyone knows if it will work on the A58?  I know that I would need to get an adapter for the label.  Does anyone know what adapter as well?

  Hi mgordon! You can use the ADP-MAA multi-interface hotshoe adapter to attach your Minolta Maxxum 3600HS D flash on the SLT - A58 and operate.

• What I have to buy a new version of photoshop, so that he will take in charge the raw files from my Sony A58? Camera Raw will not open my files. Help!

  I have thus upgraded to a Sony A58 camera and did a photoshoot. When I downloaded my files Adobe Bridge, just showed me the file type icon and wouldn't listen to samples. So I sent them to photoshop where I got the error message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be a model of camera that is not taken in charge by the installed Version of Camera Raw." I also read up here in the forum that CS5 only upgrades Camera Raw plugins to date. I need at least 7.4 to open files. So this means that I have to buy a new version of photoshop to work on these files? Or is there a cheaper solution? Please help, it's my income and I can't be delayed too long on these images to give a customer.

  If you have CS5, there goes that Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 and you need to 7.4.

  There is a free way out. Convert the raws in DNG format to be able to open them in 6.7

• Flash to a58

  the minolta maxxum 3200i Flash work on the a58 camera?

  N ° you could theoretically mount the flash with an adapter, but the flash would not release with full power, it cannot be controlled by the camera.

• Prices NP-FM50 NP-FM500H interchangeable?

  I have an old battery NP-FM50 with my old Sony Mavica digital camera disc.  Can I use this battery in my new Sony SLT A-58?

  Hi carterike! The NP-FM50, NP-FM500H are not identical when it comes to physical appearance. The main difference would be the Groove on the NP-FM500H which is not present on the FM50. This is the case, the NP-FM50 does not fit into the battery compartment of the SLT - A58 camera due to the indented inside. On the other hand, the NP-FM500H battery will go in because of the Groove corresponding to the protrusion.

• Cannot delete images from camera Hi - a58

  I noticed that when I connect my HI - a58 to my computer via the usb cable, I can transfer files to the computer, but will not erase the files/images on the camera or SD.

  I don't have that as an option.

  I used the HI - a65 in the past with no problems.

  For some reason, the files seem to be read-only.

  Y at - it a setting I need to change?

  Thank you

  Please try to change the settings of the camera USB connection. Go to [MENU], then access the configuration menu 2 (indicated by an icon that looks like a gear) and select [USB connection]. Please select [storage] among the four options.

  Although this setting can allow to remove photos from your camera by using your computer, it is always recommended that you delete images using the camera itself.

• Shooting in manual with a Sony A58

  How do you know that you have a correct exposure when shooting in manual on a Sony a58?

  When you use the M (manual) mode, at the bottom of the screen or the viewfinder, it will appear the selected speen to shutter and the opening on the left, ISO selected on the right and a scale at the Center. This scale will show how far the exposure is that the camera would choose. You can ignore it and take the picture, or you can set the shutter speed, Aperture, and/or ISO until the scale indicates that the image is properly exposed.

• Video Sony alpha a58 [HELP] problems

  Hey guys.
  For starters, what is the best video format to save the highest definition on the a58 alpha. I can see it is AVCHD which has:

  24 m (fx) 50i

  50i 17 m (fh)

  25 p 25 m (fx)

  25 p 17 m (FH)

  And then there are MP4 1440 x 1080 12 m then vga.
  Now I don't know anything about these settings, but when I look on my pc the quality sucks.

  My question is, what is the best video setting of the foregoing for the very high deffinitions.

  My second question is, when I have import in first pro cs6 what import settings I make use and only export the settings should I use?

  Please get back to me!

  As we talked about in our previous thread, AVCHD 50i 24 M (FX) would be the setting that will give you the best video quality. Playback problems you encounter can be attributed to the computer and the software that you are using.

  You can refer to the Adobe Premiere Pro support page for more information on the best settings to use in the import of videos taken by the camera.

  Can someone please suggest a good tripod for SLT A58?

• A58 Sony stops video recording about 22-23 minutes

  Hello!

  A few years ago, I bought a camera Sony A58. So far I used it for photos and videos of 5 minutes and it works very, very well!

  Unfortunately, I tried to save a 1-hour concert for a long time. I put the MP4 camera, charged the battery to 100% and inserted an empty 8 GB SD card. To my surprise, the camera recorded only 22 minutes! I decided to test this at home, so I recorded another video and he stopped at 23 minutes. I finally could see the moment he ceases to register. It just shows "Recording"... "then stops. Why a $500 camera to record videos? How Sony that I spend more money on their products, if a premium camera cannot record long videos?

  Please help me with this because it is very frustrating.

  Thank you, have a nice day

  Yes, the video cameras record for as long as you want, as long as you have the space card and battery (or if connect you to a power supply, then the space of the card is the limit)

  Generally, video files are divided into different folders to 4 GB - video recordings still smooth, just use video editing software to put them all together in one room.

  The reason for this is the FAT32 format, which is a format standard and very common, and it imposes a 4 GB file size limit, to my knowledge.

  Who knows, maybe Sony or another brand has a video camera using a different format that can allow recording 1 continuous file.

  So, back to the legal limit, if something saves more than 30 minutes, it is considered as a video camera, so established as one, which is a tax on the big (in Europe at least)
  If Sony made 2 separate versions, of course, not everyone will want to buy the one that is available in the EU, so to do even in the world, it's just a limit standard that all manufacturers.

  Now, about why you get only 22-23 minutes, there could be a few reasons:

  Heat - when it's hot, it will automatically stop recording to cool. This is probably not the problem since you have the a58 which should not warm up easily, and so you're conform to 22-23 minutes.

  Space memory card - if you run lack of space, then cut short. However, even once, I guess you have a lot of space and your records are compliant, if not the case.

  My last case is FAT32 format which is a use of manufacturers of standard format. I'm guessing that you save to a maximum quality, which means that it will hit the barrier of 4 GB faster, thus interrupting the short recording time.
  I could be wrong, but just a guess.

• Sony Alpha DSLR camera without mirror works with 700si Minolta lenses?

  I'm in the market for the mirrorless alpha DSLR series. I have my minolta maxxum 700si minolta lenses. I heard that sony purchased Minolta camera technology and used the same mounts of lens for the new sony cameras. Is this true? I really don't want to buy the unit to see if the lenses to adapt and villages do not work.

  Thank you.

  Your Minolta lenses works perfectly on any of the SLR from Sony (three digits model) and boxes (two model numbers) I AM as is. Sony mirrorless cameras (a digit and four-digit numbers model) can be used with an adapter. Sony sells two adapters, THE-EA3 ($200) that takes in charge THE-EA4 ($350) , which supports the AE and AF (although slowly.) but not AF and AE

  Sony mirrorless body are nice, but adding the adapter makes bigger, heavier and more expensive than the SLT/SLR bodies, and they do not work as well.

  I suggest that you take a look at Sony A99 ($ 2,000), A77 II ($900) or A58 ($450).

• The a58 SLT does support UHS - I?

  Hello

  Thanks in advance

  The SLT - A58 does not support the use of UHS-I accelerates, but a UHS-card I can always be used with the camera.

• Bridge cannot read the format from my new camera RAW

  I just bought a new Sony SLT - A58 but bridge says that it cannot read the RAW format, so, I can't download my pictures.

  I went online and found an Adobe Camera Raw 6.7.1 and DNG Converter 7.4 plugins that supposidely would solve the problem. Nothing helps. Still refuse to recognize the RAW format.

  Desperate as it's my job to camera and and need it up and runing as soon as possible. I have had absolutely no problem with my older Sony A100.

  What's weird is that... If I pass the photos in the converter, it shows me the .dng pictures version, so something is there. Why the bridge can not see my RAW photos? ... and also, leave tons of caches and weird icons in the file, a real mess.

  I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8 platform (Snow Leopard) and using CS5... and Yes, all my programs and software are up-to-date.

  Thank you for your help...

  ... and happy new year

  So if the RAW support is specific, why do a plugin for CS5 and for my camera?

  Adobe has released versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) immediately to ACR 1.0 (which was compatible with Photoshop 7). However, cameras supported varies according to the version of ACR and the version of the Adobe application.

  You must match:

  • your camera brand and model
  • the version of Camera Raw that takes in charge your camera brand and model
  • the specific version of Adobe software that supports the version of Camera Raw that you need.

  In your case, the Sony SLT - A58 was first based ACR 7.4 - which is only supported in CS6 and later versions. CS5 is not compatible with ACR7.4.

  Full list of supported devices is here

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

  Applications of camera Raw compatible Adobe are listed here

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html

  CS5 is certainly not an antique and the A58 Sony isn't a huge technology Hasselblad. I have friends who have a large Nikon and Sony A77 and Canon and import their FIRST in their Bridge CS5.

  All that matters is that the specific camera corresponds with what version of ACR - and what applications are Adobe are compatible with this version of ACR.

  Can't comment on great Nikon or Canon mentioned above without specific camera model numbers.

  However, the Sony A77 is supported by ACR6.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS5 +. Easy to see why this combination works.

  Similarly, your Sony A100 was first supported by ACR 3.5, which is compatible with Bridge CS2 +. Easy to see why it works.

  Always read the tables linked above Adobe and cross with each other. That should clear up your confusion.

• intend to buy second-hand minolta 70-200mm for sony A58

  I plan to buy opportunity Minolta 70-200mm lens for my Sony A58.how can I buy it... What are all the factors consider to buy a lens... what purchases online (IE amazon.com) are suitable for me... pls tell what are the procedure to buy...

  Probably the best source for used lenses in the United States is KEH. They specialize in used gear and thus have a better choice than conventional retailers who sell used gear as an offshoot of their main activity. Amazon and eBay are also good choices, but you must be more careful with them.

  Purchase of a used lens is not as full of dangers, as many people believe, but there are some things you should pay attention to.

  1. Clean the lens, if it isn't already and look closely at the optics at both ends. There should not be any misalignment of the indicidual (indication of damage) lenses, and should not be cracked or engraving on any of the lenses (indication of damage of mushroom).
  2. The aperture blades should all be present, anf, they must be clean and dull. If one of the blades is brilliant, the lubricant turned to sticky goo (an indication that the lens has been exposed to high temperatures) which will slow down or even adversely affect their operation.
  3. Make sure that the zoom and setting rings to the point (and ring opening, if she a) work smoothly through their full range.
  4. Check that the lens perfectly fits your camera.
  5. Check that the lens autofocuses quickly, quietly (but not necessarily in silent mode) and invariably, when alternating between close and distant subjects.
  6. Take a few pictures with very large openings (numerically small numbers) and some with very small apertures (numerically large numbers) and make sure that they are all properly exposed. (If photos taken with very small openings are brighter than they should be, the aperture blades could be sticky, as I mentioned in #2.)

  If you see something that doesn't look good, it box, send it and make sure you get a refund.

  A great resource when looking for used lenses is Dyxum.com.

  One thing you must remember, when looking at the Minolta lenses used, is that digital image sensors are brilliant, much more that of 35mm film, which can cause the light to reflect back light to the lens. Objectives for the film cameras don't have the coatings on the rear lens elements that prevent the light to reflect to the probe, as objectives for digital cameras. This can produce ghosts and flare with compositions that are very bright images.

  Good luck. There are countless lenses that perform well on the body of Sony A-Mount and can be made for a fraction of what the new lenses sell for, and there are countless lenses that are not yet available of the current offerings of Sony.
