Hi everyone,

 

Got my A7ii about two weeks ago.

I like the camera but I'm still trying to get used /learn the new interface and functions (my last camera was a canon 7d).

Anyone has a recommendation for a good in depth tutorial, book or video?

 

Thanks,

 

Itay

Youtube has a tone of helpful hints if you can sift through all the other stuff.  Getting out and putting it to use worked the best for means when I came across something I didn't understand I was able to google for specific answers.

 

Good luck and congrats on the A7II

 

Mike

If you buy the Gary Friedman book from Lulu.com, (I recommend the Black/White version, which is cheaper), and email Gary on his website, he will send you a free screen version which can be used as PDF or by tablets; and this version is in color.

..............  

really liked the Gary Friedman book and refer to it a lot.

I also have his book on back-button focus which I use.

  

Could you mention just a few highlights of how

Back Button AF can constitute an entire book ?

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'm beginning to think that I have a misconception about the a7R. The one I was wanting had the shutter release button on the hand grip with a resolution of 36mp. It appears the button moved to the handgrip on the a7R II model, which had 42mp resolution.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm in the learning stage yet.  😕 I may need to go with the basic a7 II at 24mp. The 36mp (R) model had the shutter release on the camera body (which I didn't care for).

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
