A99 viewfinder darkens

Is there a way to keep the viewfinder of dimming when a subject is backlit. I can't quite see the subject in frame/manual. Tried the effect live power no difference. With the help of strobe connected by appropriate ttl cord. I'd like to make it work more like an optical viewfinder. Thanks for any help.

Indeed, you will need to disable the Live View Display] setting if you want the electronic viewfinder as an optical viewfinder. Please go to [Menu] - Custom Menu 3 - Live View Display] - [setting OFF effect].

If you are still having difficulties in framing and focus on your subject, the backlight can be too strong. You can try to compensate by adjusting the brightness of the LCD screen and the viewfinder. Please go to [MENU] - Setup Menu 1 - [LCD Brightness] or [viewfinder Bright.] - [manual]. Subsequently, you can increase the brightness level according to your preference.

    You have mirror lock up tour. With locking the mirror upward, the first press will flip the mirror upward, then the second press will take the photo. If you press once only, the mirror will raise, viewfinder darkens and it comes out in a few seconds. In liveview, mirror is already lock up so it is not applicable.

  • iMac darkens when in display mode using target (TDM) and the lack of brightness slider!

    Hi all

    I use a MacBook Pro (13 "to end 2011) and iMac (27", by the end of 2012). Both are up to date, running El Capitan 10.11.5. They are connected with a thunderbolt cable in order to use the iMac as a second screen (TDM).

    Now, when I press CMD + F2 to the iMac, iMac gets used as second screen as expected, but it goes really dark! He's not black, you can still see the desktop but on a sunny day, it's really hard to see anything. Now, it's pretty embarrassing, but the second part of the question makes it a pain in the *. When the iMac is dark, I always go to the system preferences and open the settings for the display. I can see a window with the parameters for the iMac, but there is no cursor for the brightness! There is no way to make it brighter!

    The only solution is to disable the target (CMD + F2) just display mode to enable it again after a few seconds. Sometimes I have to activate the TDM twice but sometimes it takes 4 or 5 loops toggle just to see the brightness slider!

    Here is a screenshot of the settings without the cursor window

    And that's what it looks like after a few loops, and then I can adjust the brightness.

    Any ideas why this happens? Any advice on a possible solution? Why - what is darkening the iMac? Why is the cursor missing?

    Best,

    Stephan

  • Viewfinder LUT vs exposure tools (Zebra / waveform)

    Hi guys,.

    Discussions on our new found access to MLUTs and the AE CINE was great, thanks for all the info fascinating so far. So forgive me if this has already been covered, but I have two questions:

    (A).. .for MLUTs in the viewfinder to be of any practical, why use the waveform monitor and the Zebra reacts to the MLUT when applied, as opposed to the same as if the MLUT has not been applied to all? IE - as an image in the viewfinder as slog2 sgamut my Zebra / wave give me information of the exhibition which is very useful (next to my light meter) but when I apply, say, the REC709 MLUT of the VF, news of Zebra and waveform to adapt to the new image - so REC 709 points out, blow and my zebras tell me now that the parts of the image is blown... But I'm still recording to SxS cards like sLog2 sLog2 - so, in reality, this info is not get blown at all.

    So what I mean: the REC709 MLUT is ideal to boost the brightness etc. in the viewfinder and makes the image easier on the eye than the image dark sLog2, but I always feel like my tools of exposure to expose properly for the image being recorded to the card (in this case sLog2). I hope that all makes sense... Accept others, or am I missing something here?

    and the second point is:

    (B).. .throughout all the upgrades for the camera by setting the number 2 zebras at 109% don't turn on for me in the VF, despite an image being obviously blown. No more than 108%, or 107%. However the zebras behave corectly to 106% and will show the 'Zebra lines' when the image is burned.

    Is there a reason why 109% zebras does not illuminate, or am I missing something here too?

    Thanks for all your comments guys - happy shooting.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi @dslrshooters,

    could you please change your message header to match the content of you post.

    in the A6300, you can change the way in which the camera automatically switches between NET & screen in

    Menu custom (cog symbol): FINDER/MONITOR.

    with a little luck, you have the same menu on the 7Sii.

  • Viewfinder cable angle + clip... WHEN?

    Hello

    Someone at - it an update on the new angled viewfinder cable and the clamp that was announced earlier and should be out but dealers here in the United Kingdom have no word yet...? !

    I'll buy a F5 with VF OLED and hope that cable would be part of the new purchases, but I feel that it will be...

    All learn about this part is very much appreciated!

    See you soon

    Julian

    I heard that the new cable will not be for the oled viewfinder. Is this true? Seems crazy if this is the case, because the question is of course with each of them.

  • Focus Magnifier button sony a99

    Hello

    I have a question for shooting video on the A99 motorway. When I chose the M (manual setting of the photo) on the recording of the camera and press the shutterspeed automatically adjust when moving in a different light setting. My question is how can I disable this? I put it on manual without a bit of luck.

    Now when I turn to the video mode on the camera I can choose the MANUAL mode and then I can adjust the shutterspeed and apenture, but then I can't use the magnifying glass to focus.

    In conclusion I want to use the parameter M on the camera so I can use the magnifying glass to focus, but how do I set the shutterspeed and apenture?

    Kind regards

    Sam

    Unfortunately, the Focus Magnifer function is not available in video mode.
