Crope mode on A7ii

[Mode101]

How does the crope mode works on A7's using crop lens? For example a crop 50mm is it the equavalent of 50mm on Apsc? I heard the megapixel (20megapixels on FF becomes 10megapixel crop mode) are cut in half?

A6000 user here and I'm gonna buy a A7II soon, I plan to use my crop lenses on the A7 'til I get FE lenses.

50mm full frame is still 50mm in apsc. In apsc mode it just behaves like a 75mm in full frame with same aperture (same field of view and depth of field).

 

When you are cropping you need to count both horzontal and vertical pixels separately. 24 Mp is 4000 x 6000 pixels. if you apply 1.5 crop, it becomes 2667 x 4000 = 9 Mp.

Crop mode (APSC Mode) works flawlessly.  Sony A7II has a setting to auto detect APSC lens and you get the same field of view as you would on your a6000.  On a full frame lens, you can also set the Sony A7II to "crop mode" and get the extra reach you would with your a6000.  I haven't checked the megapixel difference between the two, but expect it to be the same megapixels as you get with your a6000.

 

Other (not all) Full Frame cameras have this feature as well, its having the advantages of both APSC and Full Frame sensors in one.

Thanks for all the info

megapixel goes down from 24MP FF to 10MP in Cropmode

 

a6000 has 24MP with the same field of view

I stand corrected. I do not know what I was calculating before, 2667 x 4000 = 10.67 megapixels
