A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Mirrorless isn’t all that (for stills) (alien.top)

Hello peoples! I recently acquired a Sony A6400. Now I didn’t get it for stills, I got it mainly to start practicing video as I’m majoring in film.

Video I haven’t messed around with it all that much, but I’m pretty pleased with the results so far.

Stills tho…… I’m super disappointed. I think it has to do with that it has an EVF. I get EVFs have a lot of advantages, but those come at the expense of the user experience.

I was shooting some landscape just now, and the flip up screen is cool and all, but I COULDNT SEE MY SCENE. Like I had no idea what was actually in my shadows, and it was not conducive for taking good pictures.

Eye af and all the info is cool, but idk… I just don’t like EVFS for stills.

Try turning DRO on. It won’t do anything to the RAW files but it will brighten up the shadows in the viewfinder a bit.
