Hello, I am new the forum and have had my A7ii and 55/f1.8 for about six months. I live in Sierra Leone and these are some of the pics I have taken since I got then. I am happy with the camera and my photos but want to improve and get more out of this wonderful camera. Thanks

Very nice shots. You have a very good link to the people. They all like you very much.

Nothing particular to improve, keep shooting! :)

Do you have a flickr account? I would like to follow your work.

Great photos, not much to improve really!

 

A mere suggestion: since it seems that you like tight portraits, you should consider a longer lens than 55mm   ;)

 

 

Thanks for the feedback. I am not too sensitive and can take a kicking if anyone has one to offer.

 

I have but one lens so far the 55 f/1.8. I would really like to get the Batis 85 f/1.8. I have been told that I have the tendency to loom in at people.

I love these pictures! Did you just walk up to them on the street and ask to take a picture?

Thanks for your comment.

 

I every case apart from the last picture I asked or the person knew that I was taking the picture. In the last picture of the little girl she shouted "snap me" when she saw the camera - it was at waist height and I just pointed it in her face and did as she said.

 

Some of the people are friends, some I know, only the old lady was a complete stranger, but she said if she was 20 years younger she would marry me - she is 101.

      Why is the LCD on my Sony A7riii giving "disabled" message?

      By Pieter · Posted

      Assuming you didn't change the functionality of the button: the default function is 'focus hold', meaning that if you're in continuous AF mode, the focus is locked at whatever distance it was at and it'll no longer change with half-pressing the shutter button. Apparently this function doesn't work together with face/eye AF, which kind of makes sense: if you're trying to focus on an eye, the distance is usually not constant (either you or the subject moves). Locking the focus position will cause the eye to go out of focus.

      A6300 How to switch viewfinder to LCD screen

      By Phormula · Posted

      As far as I know, the only way to reset this camera is through the menu, but of course, navigating in the menu without a display is not possible. One option could be to connect the camera to a TV screen with HDMI cable, press the show images button and see if you can access the menu from there.   Some users have reported an "unofficial" way to perform a hard reset. Please note that I have not tested them and I am not aware if they work or ultimately you will end "bricking" the camera, so this is a big "proceed at your own risk", assuming that you have nothing to lose and everything else failed. Remove the card, so your pictures are safe. Try several times removing the battery with the camera on and leaving it out for some time. The sudden loss of power might cause the camera to reset.

      A6300 How to switch viewfinder to LCD screen

      By Carp32 · Posted

      Hello. While traveling in India, my camera on a tripod got caught in the wind and fell from above. Unfortunately, I managed to find it Unfortunately, viewfinder didn't work. So I made a mistake and switched the settings to ONLY viewfinder. And now the LCD screen shows nothing and I can take photos blindly. I tried changing the settings using the chain navigation buttons. But no luck. Could someone with this camera please Write instructions on what buttons to use to get to this option?  i try: MENU;9x RIGHT; 3x RIGHT; 1xDOWN; SELECT/CENTER; 1xUP; SELECT/CENTER Can someone check if this works for them with a LCD screen on?
