A7S expected better


Recommended Posts

Bought a A7S and am rather disappointed. I shoot mostly in fairly dim social dance settings. I am using the cheaper Sony 50mm f1.8 lens. Have been shooting f1-8 to f2.2 ISO 5-10,000 range shutter 80-180/sec. Basically, I am getting nothing like the pics you see all over the web from the vaunted "low light monster." My stuff is very grainy and full of noise, unusable.

I shoot in dark clubs with an A7s, and A7Rii.  Usually with an 85GM, or the 35mm Zeiss.  99% of the shots in my gallery are with this combo.

Can you post an example of what you're getting?

160/-sec ISO 8,000 F2 it seems far noisier than I expected. Lighting in the room is mixed Led strip lights, some incandescent track lights in the background

Shooting in raw will help quite a bit.  

Get your shutter speed as low as you can without getting blur.  If you can go to 1/80 you can drop your ISO at least 3 stops.  

You can kill some of the grain in post easily.
