I think I know the answer but is there any way to remotely release the shutter on a Sony Alpha NEX-F3 camera? Not mentioned in the manual!

I have bought a secondhand one to go on the back of a telescope as it had a tilt screen. I never thought about remote release!!

As it is, due to magnification of the telescope, using the button on the camera to release shutter causes considerable vibration of the image!! Sounds like a mechanical shutter!

Very happy to re wire one of the (USB) or HDMI terminal (50).

Cheers

      Accumulated light exposure modes?

      By cwinte · Posted

      Thinking about control of images in low light with blur and movement I would like to experiment more with me manually varying aperture during a shot. With a manual lens this allows me to start with a small aperture and collect some fluidity and then snap lens to much larger aperture to give a more solid defined image. To date in a few quick trials I have just used a fixed exposure time judged by seeing exposure at a few apertures and then just trying my dexterity. A next step up would be that the camera closes the shutter when it has accumulated enough light. Maybe some long exposure /astronomy contexts might do that sort of thing....? To help imagine I'm thinking musicians in a bar, animals in low light, individuals in motion in some context. Mostly I seem to need near 1s exposure to synch my aperture change and have enough time. A de-clicked lens or one with a loose aperture ring would help (maybe I have at home on the shelf) but I am away with just 2 old Olympus lenses and TBH the aperture rings are a bit stiff and close to the focus ring... Any thoughts or suggestions?

      Luminar Editing Program Compatibility

      By Cameratose · Posted

      Friends don't let friends use Luminar. They lie, their DAM is either non-existent or garbage. They tell you it's a one-time purchase with free updates for the life of the program. Problem is, they bring out a whole new program every year or two, then they stop 'updating' or even supporting the old one. They give away the last version free to suck you in to the next one. I tried them a while back and went through the entire process. When I removed it from my computer (after I cancelled my sale on the new version) I had to delete 36,000 sidecar/thumbnails of my photos, most of which I had never even opened in Luminar. It just went into my folders and automatically created all of these files.  There are many decent programs out there you can get that will stand head and shoulders above Luminar.

      Luminar Editing Program Compatibility

      By Gene3 · Posted

      I am considering purchasing the Luminar editing program for IOS to use with my A7iv; however in listing which cameras are compatible, there is this statement: "Sony vcb cropped p send-raw format is not currently supported."  Does anyone know if this means that the program will not work with raw photos?  Has anyone successfully used this program editing raw photos?
