Hey everyone,

 

I recently switched from canon to sony and bought the a7ii, so I'm still new with all the camera functions. I changed all the settings to where I want them (RAW, uncompressed) but when I upload the images to photoshop, I noticed my images automatically come out size at 16.4X10. I find that weird because when I use my Canon 5Dii, my images in photoshop will come out to 21.6X14.4.

 

 

Is there a function setting I'm missing on my a7? If so, what do I need to change? 

 

 

I've added 2 images to compare the image size on both cameras:

 

Canon 5Dii

I am new to both the camera and Photoshop? How do you save as a JPEG of a suitable file-size that can be downloaded to, say, this forum. I am just getting messages saying image tool large to download?

 

This forum does not seem to have a software section, so sorry for tagging this onto your thread smilewtf but couldn't find a suitable location?

My guess is you have set Adobe Camera Raw (the windows that pops up when you open a raw in Photoshop) to interpolate down your files instead of opening them at native resolution. And you set a bigger interpolation for the Canon. Just look at your screenshots, the Canon is 18mp and the A7 II 10mp (the Canon shoul read 21 and the Sony 24; multiply width by height to get the value in megapixels)

 

To set CameraRaw to open your files at their native resolution:

- open a raw file (you will have to do this once for each camera because the preference is camera-specific)

- click on the bottom, where it says something like "Adobe (or Prophoto) rgb; 16bit; SIZE IN INCHES; 240dpi"

- in the preference window that it will pop up uncheck "Resize to fit"

Done!

Not a PhotoShop user but there is probably an EXPORT style or something that lets you specify the resolution. Typically I use about 600-800 resolution (longest edge) for uploading photos to this site.

Almost:

 

- first you need to reduce your resolution with "Image > Image size..."; choose anything from 800 pixel to 1500 (for the longest edge)

- then you export for web (not the same as "Save as...", it will cut a lot more weight) with "File > Save for web..." choosing one of the jpg presets (I prefer high)

    • I've been using this lens extensively without any sharpness issues. At long focal lengths, you'll have to factor in the need for a faster shutter speed (< 1/500-ish at 350mm) and other factors like atmospheric distortion, fog/dust haze, etc. All these factors contribute to a deterioration of image quality at longer focal lengths.
    • That's supposed to be a pretty good APS-C lens. Can you try it on a different camera just for the heck of it? Friend? Camera shop? The lens is noted for sharpness, so if you're having as much trouble as you say, you may want to look into a replacement or repair. 
    • Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to the community because I’m facing a persistent image quality issue with my Sony 70–350mm f/4.5–6.3 G OSS lens, and I’d like to know if this is normal behavior or if my copy is defective. Problem description: I’ve extensively compared the 70–350mm G OSS with my Sony 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS, using a Sony A6700, under controlled conditions: • Identical lighting and background • Same subject and position (LEGO figure, consistent framing) • Tripod or steady support • Manual focus or AF with center point • Same shutter speed (e.g., 1/200s), similar ISO (ISO 4000–6400), RAW + JPEG • OIS turned on (and also tested with OIS off) My observations: • At 135mm, the 70–350mm G OSS delivers softer, flatter images than the 18–135mm, even when stopped down. • At 350mm, the sharpness drops significantly – the center is soft, and textures (like LEGO tiles or fabric) appear blurred or smudged. • Contrast and micro-detail are noticeably inferior across all focal lengths. • The 18–135mm at 135mm (even cropped) retains better edge sharpness and detail definition. • Both JPEG and RAW files confirm the issue – this is not just JPEG processing or noise reduction. Question to the community: • Have others experienced similar softness with the 70–350mm? • Is it possible I have a decentered or optically misaligned copy? • Is there a known issue with OSS introducing softness at long focal lengths? I wanted to love this lens due to the range and portability, but currently it’s unusable for anything where image quality matters. I’m considering returning or sending it for service. Thanks in advance for any feedback or comparison results you can share.
