Jamessonyc Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi, I am having a little problem with my Sony A7 camera. When set to 3:2, i try and choose my largest Megapixel setting and i should be able to select 24. However the largest available is 10. Im not sure if there is something i am missing? I have updated the firmware and still the largest Megapixel setting is 10. Can anyone help/ have any ideas that might help me out. Thank you Welcome, dear visitor!

Colorado Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Is APSC crop mode on? Do you have an APSC lens on the camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Username Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks like the wrong menu. Don't use the "camera" menu. Use the "gear" menu. On my 7-II it's number 5. It may be slightly different for yours. Regardless, you should switch to the "gear" menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he has his camera in crop sensor mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh and #5 in the gear menu controls that ... as specified, thaz in the a7-II, but it should get him close even if it's not exactly "5" in his menu. Image Size is NOT the crop control. It controls the file size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinplater Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Again I suspect he has the camera set to automatically reduce size when he places a crop sensor lens on his camera. On my A7rII this is the "APS-C/Super 35mm" option gear icon tab 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfDayHero Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Sounds like you are using a lens designed for a cropped sensor rather than a FF sensor. If this is the case, then the A7 by default will crop the sensor appropriately, which in turn physically uses less of the sensor, resulting in your 10MP image output. Sony's 'FE' lenses are designed for full utilisation of full frame sensors and will result in the 24MP image output you desire. Hope this helps.

It would be nice if the original poster, James, would acknowledge the advice here....It was a month ago when he posted and no response to the rather uniform opinions that he is in crop sensor mode.

IMNSHO it's just a "Who cares" ... this thread died when it was 5 days old ... despite two later, but unneeded, resurrections.

Tolits Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I finally found the APS-C, it should be turned OFF or set to AUTO then you can adjust the maximum megapixel to 24. Thanks community. ??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
