Sony A77 manual focus

Hello!

Just bought me a wich A77 I m very satisfied BUT I have a problem with the manual focus - it won´t work... I put the camera in M mode and return the front dial MF but he doesn´t release the AF motor so I can´t turn the ring on the lens. Have you tried different objectives, out of battery and 10 minutes, resetteng of the factory and so on, but nothing helped. Someone has an idea of what I can do?

Hello

Thanks for the reply - sorry for my late reply. I tried with several different lenses, all the same. Finally, I went to the store, they where really confused - had never seen it before so I went with a new camera... this one works flawlessly so I m really happy now.

Once again, thank you for the reply

  • Manual focus on the HX 50v

    Unlike using the manual focus on the HX50v, the camera offer any discussion help as stealthily, or expansion of segment? Sony people were so poorly trained that they did not know enough about photography even understand the question!

    The camera has a parameter called [Expanded Focus]. This setting is activated, the camera will automatically extend the center of the image at 2 x magnification as soon as you try to manual focus.

  • The manual focus ring on my zoom EF-S 18-135 lens does not seem to indulge in the optics to change orientation

    The manual focus ring on my Canon 18-135mm EF-S is free to turn if the switch is in the position AF or MF. It does not change the focus. Auto focus works well. Another objective of zoom seems to allow a manual focus without difficulty. What have I forgotten?

    What is the new version of the STM or the old version non - STM of the 18-135?  It will make a difference in the operation of the focus ring.

    If this is the version non - STM (original 18-135), then you should _not_ attempt to focus of the lens manually with the switch auto focus mode AF.

    If it's the version of the STM (new 18-135) then you can rotate the focus ring if the switch of autofocus is AF or MF (but it wont focus unless the unit is on and not asleep.)  For example press the shutter button halfway to reactivate and work the focus ring).

    Most of the USM goals (there is no version of the 18-135 USM) allow the ring to be returned if the device is in AF or MF mode.  The ring is basically a like a sweet clutch and there a few deliberately built sliding- and these rings of just development will keep turns and turns... There is no hard stop for the ring.

  • Manual focus G11

    Love my G11!
    I implemented a character shot with manual exposure and focus, but remotely release the centers. Turning off security MF does not help. Can I avoid the focus? TNX!

    Hi Edge!

    Thanks for posting.

    It is not a setting that disables it.  This feature is more according to the distance that the body of the camera.  The remote control has a two-stage shutter button operation.  As a first step, it triggers the auto focus, and then in a second time, it releases the shutter.

  • Sony A77 - ISO auto?

    I just got my Sony SLT - A77, and I love it! However, there is a setting that confuses me, and it's auto ISO.

    When I use mode has I prefer to use auto ISO but on this device, it doesn't seem to be possible to specify a maximum authorized shutter time?

    It's really confusing for me, why even do you have auto ISO if you can't choose a maximum time of sutter? It is practically useless without it, and many cameras have this feature.

    Is this something that could be fixed in a future update?

    Best regards

    I hope that Sony will implement such a feature. As far as I know that Nikon offers this at present).
    Please note that the A77 displays its ISO value currently selected when you press the shutter half.

    I have been subject to change my Sony A700 for an A77, but come to find out that he has no control of the camera remotely, is Sony going to this address or what I need to change the brand.

    Currently, the SLTA99V is the only camera that supports the control of the camera remotely without counting the A700, A850 and A900.

  • Focus problems with Rebel T3i. It will not be in manual or auto focus point. It's not about camera lens

    My camera will not focus. Not only the autofocus. I can't he focus even if I put manual focus.

    The image is still blurry.

    First I thought it was the lens I had but I tried with several, and the problem is the same.

    Any ideas what could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Have you checked the viewfinder diopter?  , It will be not clear even on the manual focus, and it happens with all your lenses makes me think that it is possible that the dial tiny bit right there on the eyepiece was implemented accidental market. The dial control what you see in the viewfinder, not something to do with the focus lens. The diopter is adjustable so that those who need glasses can see things through the viewfinder.  If everything still seems blurry even when the camera thinks he's focused it is generally just that little diopter got hit accidentally.

    IFIT is not this, then perhaps your screen focus got shifted.

  • Sony TV converters

    I have the full camera framed with Sony A99v. My goal are Sony 70-300mm G, Sigma 150-500mm F5-6. 3 APO HSM. 1.4 to 2.0 of Sony AF teleconverters will work with the A99 motorway and the 2 lens I mentioned. What other Sony lens work with the teleconverters and A99v? I have not found information on what works with these converters. I don't want to put the money without knowing that they will work. Thank you

    That these lenses are compatible with the teleconverters. the two lenses that you are not on the list.

    NOTE: due to the quality of this converter design (elements 5/4 groups), the only teleconverter will adapt and work with a wide selection of lenses. Only the Sony or Minolta following objectives are compatible:

    • f/2.8 300mm (D) SSM
    • f/2.8 70-200mm (D) SSM
    • f/2.8 APO G 200
    • f/2.8 APO G 300
    • f/4 APO G 300
    • f/4.5 APO G 400
    • 600 f/4 APO G

    Note: the following objectives can be used in manual focus mode:

    • 70-400mm f/4-5, 6 G SSM
    • 135mm f/2.8 [T4.5] STF
    • Macro 200mm f/4 G

    all a-mount will work with your A99 but it is strongly recommended that you use a lens that is designed for a full frame as your A99 sensor, also the problem with the teleconverters is that they reduce the amount of light to the sensor so if your using the Converter 2 x one F2.8 it becomes a F5.6.

  • sony camera boxes are sealed?

    When I bought a box canon was sealed.

    So I wrote to sony to ask if they their sealed boxes.

    and they asked me to go into a retail store!

    I bought a rx100 (who has difficulty focusing on near things) and the box was not watertight.

    I wondered if I had received a demo.

    Thank you all

    They are usually closed, but according to the policy of stores, they can make preliminary checks to ensure that it is not defective (a rare practice) and by doing this, they may forget to shut up.

    About the macro you are in auto mode?

    Macro mode unfortunately work Green Auto mode (you will see a green camera on the upper dial or Dial menu)

    Macro mode works in Superior Auto +, but he has a hard time understanding what you are doing. The auto attendant recognizes that most of the time, you are near.

    Otherwise, your best option is to use the manual focus to get you as close as possible.

  • Why Canon does not have old adapters for my SLR camera lenses? I can get them with Sony, but not for Canon

    I have an old Canon Ftb with a goal of 1.4 fd. I'm getting into digital cameras now (just to have a 12 G for now, mainly used for underwater photography). I would like to stay with Canon, but I'm very annoyed that Canon doesn't have a way to continue to use their old lenses. Nikon, for all their flaws are much better at you can continue to use your old stuff.

    Then I find that if I'm going to Sony (Yes, really, Sony) can I use my lenses from Canon ol via an adapter. This my Canon, tell me it ain't so. You must have a way, I just have not yet discovered.

    There are many challenges with this and the "adapters" are to be considered with a certain scepticism.

    The FD lenses are mechanical - no electronics.  The case of the unit, on the other hand, has an electronic interface for the lens - nothing of mechanics.   This means that if you set the goal, you would have to manually set the aperture but also of manual focus of the lens.

    Your Canon DSLR had a split Prism focusing in the viewfinder to help.  A new camera does not work.  The reason why there is no help from the development is because most of the lenses are autofocus so it is simply not necessary.  This makes it particularly difficult to tell when you've worn exactly the goal.  Making it even more difficult is that any device with a sensor size of APS - C (most of them) have a small viewfinder that you had on your Canon SLR photography.

    In addition, the lenses are optimized for a specific back focus distance.  Canon's EOS cameras have a depth of 44 m from the mounting flange of lens at the front of the body at the level of development within the body.  When you use an adapter, it modifies that distance.  If you change too much, the lens behaves as if it is mounted with extension tubes, the entire range of focus is moved closer to the camera, and it can be is no longer able to focus to infinity.

    There are 3 parties that make these lenses... conversion kits but they do them for a few drinks (not all) and that they require a bit of surgery on the goal (e.g. this level which protrudes beyond the rear of the lens used to set the aperture value should go).

    But... the modern lenses are just so much better than the old FD lenses.   Requires really quite the dozen FD lens to make it interesting this fuss.  Also, I own a Canon SLR (AE-1) and a few glasses of FD... but have no interest in trying to use one of these lenses on my EOS DSLR cameras.

    I think that this question almost as Ford asking why they do not wheel adapters let wheels it T model mount on a Mustang of 2015.  The new wheels are so much better than the old wheels, you want to continue to use the old wheels.

    Leave your old lenses in the past.  Mine are on the shelf alongside my AE-1... body as a conversation piece.  I don't actually use them.

  • Sony RX100 MKii exposure Simulation Flaw

    Hello Sony. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    I just tried to use the Sony RX100 MKii in the studio and found a problem.

    Simulation of exposure in Manual Mode. He needs a toggle so it can be turned off to be able to use the manual focus and see what focus you on.

    It is a quote from an other people's views, I found trying to find a solution to this problem.

    "There is a flaw with the implementation of the claw. You cannot disable the exposure simulation and it will be for most cases that the display black, when you dial the correct shutter speed / opening of values for an external flash... Very inconvenient. Although the LCD display will illuminate for a second or two when you AF, it will stay dark for the rest of the time, so it doesn't help much. It should be possible to switch off the simulation of the exhibition. "With for example Samsung cameras, Canon etc, there is a menu 'framing mode' option for this specific purpose (external flashes).

    Please help with this. It is a great camera and it needs a few software changes to be totally awesome.

    Concerning

    SB.

    Thank you for sharing your comments about the application of live view camera DSC-RX100M2. We are more than happy to pass this information on the Department for review. We place a very high value on feedback from our customers because it allows us to understand how we can improve our products.

    To work around the problem, you could temporarily move to P, A or S modes of shooting for the purpose of framing and setting for the point. Once done, you might return to M mode so that you can take a picture using the appropriate settings.
