Issue: RAW uploading as JPEG in Capture One

Hello,

I am shooting RAW only images on a Sony a6000. My work is mostly creative self portrait and I fear the remote trigger Imaging Edge Mobile does something that blocks RAW files.

What I'm noticing is any image captured through the Imaging Edge Mobile uploads as JPEG only.  The images I capture behind the lens all upload as RAW.

Do you happen to know if there is a better app for triggering the capture on a Sony a6000.

Or am I moving back to the iphone? ?

I have been trying the Imaging Edge Mobile app with the Sony a7ii camera that I have just bought, and it does as you say, when I shoot still photos from the cell phone (it does not allow me to trigger videos), it sends a 2 mp jpg to the phone, and the image recorded in the camera is a “Fine” jpg quality one, although I have my camera set up to shoot only raw.

The app allows me to compensate the exposure if the camera is set in a mode not being Manual, and to shoot with a 2 seconds delay.

All being considered, I would think that the app was conceived as to be mainly used for recreational purposes. It might be useful if mounting the camera on a tripod, joining a group of friends in front of it, checking the composition and making sure that all the group fits in the screen. Then, to compensate the exposure if necessary, trigger the photo, hide the phone in a pocket (for which action one has 2 seconds if set for shooting with delay), and be photographed while everybody is laughing and having a great time (I am being sarcastic here). Afterwards, one can send the photo to other friends or upload it to Facebook, Instagram, or the like.

It has obviously not been conceived for shooting as if it were tethered (via wifi). A pity. It would have been useful enough for serious shooting if the app would have at least allowed to record in the camera as raw (or jpg at its best quality for those who shoot jpg).

I think I have tried all the apps that are being offered on Google Play that were supposedly created for the purpose. Except for one, I could not manage to have them connect to the camera. The only one that I managed to have it establish a connection with the camera, offered even less capabilities than Sony’s app. I also tried an app that promised to allow shooting tethered Sony cameras via a USB connection (I tried it with my tablet), but I couldn’t establish a connection.

Not that the Sony app is bad, it serves a purpose, but to shoot raw away from the camera and/or not touching it, it seems I’ll have to keep using my RMT-DSLR1 remote control.

      Upgrading to a bigger setup. Need some advice!

      By Cameratose · Posted

      Wow, we have two distinctly different trains of thought. I'm not sure how valuable my advice will be, just consider this something to toss around in the back of your mind. First off, I hate rangefinder style bodies, never could get on with them. The decision of whether to go with a full-size body wasn't even in play. The difference when looking at size comparison photos is considerable, the difference in practical use is minor. About the only time I can think of that it may be beneficial is street if you want to conceal yourself a bit.  Lenses: Size and weight don't bother me near as much as inconvenience. Who in the heck wants to be changing lenses all the time? I take a short zoom, a long zoom, and a medium-wide fast prime for indoors. That's it. I am hoping Sigma's 20-200 set to be released tomorrow isn't a turd, if it's decent it will replace my 24-105.  If I were to go on a trip today, my setup would be: A1 70-200/2.8 GM II 24-105 Samyang 24/1.8.  If I was feeling it, I might add the 2X TC for the GM II, but I doubt it'd even get used.  An alternative to the 70-200 + TC would be the Tamron 50-400.  BOTH of these setups fit nicely in my Tenba Solstice 10L Sling.  So, I would say yes. Trade up to the A7R V. Definitely get the 24-70, or maybe the 24-105 for more range. You don't need 2.8 for your described subject matter.  As an aside, I never, ever, ever shoot in crop mode. Why? Well, I can do the exact same thing in post on my computer. They're both just electronic crops. I end up with a lot more information that way, and who knows, if I'm going to crop anyway, maybe there's a better composition hidden in the full frame image that I didn't see when I made the shot? Much easier to remove content than to add it.

      Upgrading to a bigger setup. Need some advice!

      By Gionam · Posted

      Hi all, For about the last 1.5 years I've been using the Sony a7CR combined with the 24-50mm f2.8 G lens as one of the lenses that basically lives on my camera. Besides this I have the following lenses as well: Sony 16-25mm f2.8 G Sony 14mm f1.8 GM Sony 40mm f2.5 G Sigma 85mm f1.4 On my last travel I took the above mentioned lenses with me + the 24-50 G. Would have most likely taken the Sony 14mm f1.8 GM but I didn't own this yet at the time. For my next travel I do want to take this as well so then my setup would look like: Sony 24-50mm f2.8 G Sony 16-25mm f2.8 G Sony 40mm f2.5 G Sigma 85mm f1.4 Sony 14mm f1.8 GM At this point I feel like I'm kinda reaching a bit of a limit in terms of lenses I want to take with me during travel, especially the 85mm. I wish to use it more but noticed I often left it at the hotel/apartment room I was staying at. Initially I bought the a7CR for weight savings but as time has passed I do feel certain limits with the setup especially during travel/landscape (as this is my main form of photography). And that's mainly coming from the amount of lenses I'm taking. I have been considering to trade in the 24-50 G lens to the 24-70 GMII to use on my a7CR but after using my Sigma 85mm f1.4 for an extended time on my a7CR it does feel uncomfortable to use due to the front heavy nature of the setup. The 24-70 GMII would be about the same weight as the Sigma. One option would be to use the extended grip on my a7CR, this certainly makes handling a lot better of bigger lenses but I usually have my setup hanging from the Peak Design Capture Clip on my backpack and I'm not sure if the extended grip really designed to take this much weight to be fair. Maybe anyone here has experience with this? So what this leads me to was the consideration to upgrade to the a7RV + Sony 24-70 GMII as there are some good trade in deals going on right now where I'm at. I'm not sure is this setup an absolute overkill for a hobbyist photographer... :) The benefits of this upgrade would be to have less need for changing lenses during travel and reduce the amount of separate lenses I have to take with me. The overall weight would however be approx. the same that goes in my backpack. Usually when I'm out for hikes I will currently only take the 16-25 & 24-50 with me. With this setup the reach feels limiting even with cropping the 50mm to 75mm (still approx. 26MP on the a7CR after crop). What I usually use my setup for: Landscape photography Travel Portrait Astrophotography I was wondering is there anyone here who went from a lighter a7CR (or similar) setup to a slightly heavier setup to carry around during hikes etc. Did you regret it or was the tradeoff worth it? As mentioned I do feel like my current setup is somewhat limiting and realized that switching lenses during travel is an absolute pain in the ass. But I'm not sure if the extra 450gr (about 1 lb) is worth the tradeoff. I know the decision is ultimately up to me but just like to hear your thoughts on this upgrade, and if the additional features & image quality in trade for weight would be worth it as well. TL;DR: Looking to upgrade my a7CR 24-50G f2.8 setup to a7RV with 24-70GMII f2.8 lens, not sure if it's worth it with the additional weight in trade for more versatility and better IQ. Thanks in advance for your replies!

      a68 Soft Focus Problem

      By Wolvy · Posted

      I got one tuned up pretty well last year. I don’t remember exactly after doing a 77ii not too far apart that was different. The a68 was faster and more accurate but color profile was more work to tune btw. profile/style set to clear and highest sharpness allowed + micro focus adjustments per lens if I remember right. And any of these fall apart fast in low light or slow lenses.
