This article has been written from buy to now, almost half a year ago, it is time to submit an assignment, and then to share with everyone I am using the Sony A7M2 body + Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/ 1.8 ZA lens experience, by the way for everyone to solve a poison.
There was a sad reason to buy this camera. Before I used the Olympus E-M5 for almost 3 years, I was hooked up to the Nikon contact's flash. Overvoltage destroyed the internal chip of the camera. ............ At this time the price of the new EM5 machine has reached around 1600, and I took my baby to go to Chengdu Oba special point, the staff told me that the repair will take about 1000.
Lessons from Blood: Don't use the flash on different camera brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, etc.). ! !

â–² Memorial to the youth I lost, Aoba family portrait.
The end point of playing the camera may still be full-width. Since the EM5 is broken, it also gives me a reason to bid farewell to the M43 system. A lot of SLRs were used in the study, but after using the EM5, I believe that no counter is the mainstream of the camera in the future. Therefore, Canon and Nikon were excluded first. Before the Dafa black technology had heard about it, but the A7 body button design anti-human and photo green hat problem I dared to wait and see until the A7M2 appeared, user-friendly key design, repair before A7 there are multiple flaws, the most The most important thing is to join the body five-axis image stabilization! ! ! (This isn't the technology that O'ba took pride in before. It actually moved to the Sony home perfectly. I sold your sensor, you sold me five-axis anti-shake, this middle py transaction~)
Commodity link I really do not want to attach, because when I went to search A7M2, I found that the price has dropped to around 7700, and I bought it into 8600 also think that a great deal of cheap, you hear the voice of heartbreaking. Anyway, it can be said that A7M2 is a good price in the near future. If there are friends with plans, it is absolutely not a loss. (Purchased in a treasure, the lower link price ...)

In the first moment of receiving the goods, I tore up the box, detached the various inner boxes, grouped the body lens into one, and then took the camera on business trip, so only the top A few recent photos.
â–² Warship Department sees the explosion! ! !
â–² The layout of the buttons on the back is reasonable, and the front and rear pulsator and dial plus direction buttons make the operation even faster than the C and N homes.
â–² 55 1.8 The length and weight of the lens and A7M2 perfect match, this seems to be the best combination of a micro-single (look at the back of a series of GM lens, it can also call micro-single what)
By the way, I did not attach the neck strap to the camera because although not heavy, it is not a wise choice to put weight on the cervical spine. Here I installed Martin's camera wristband. The camera does not hold the hand on the cervical spine. It can also quickly take pictures. The wristbands can prevent the comrades from sliding their hands and throw the camera out. It is also harder to use the neckline than the neckline. This is small here. Recommend ~

Here I simply say two things:
One is the five-axis anti-shake of the body:
It's not black and not blowing. It's worse than Orb before. But there are anti-shake effects that can be at least 3 stops. This function is for most people who are using cameras, more tolerant than others. Good, high sharpness, colorful, and the like are more practical.
Take a chestnut, would have to 1/60s to ensure a clear night scene, with A7M2 opened the body five axis anti-shake, use 1/15s can guarantee that the screen does not paste, there are friends to ask, I am on their own iron hand With confidence, what is the significance of this anti-shake?
For example, when we go out to play, you hand over the camera to a “hand shake†friend and return home to see the photo after you finish:
At this time you can understand how critical it is to have a machine with anti-shake! ! !
The second is the high quality of this ZEISS lens:
From the MTF curve we can see that the picture quality is good, and its rating on the DxOmark website is only lower than that of the ZEISS Otus 55 1.4, ranking second.
The same is the header. The optical essence of the portraits of the C and N homes is no more than 1,000 yuan. Sony’s header is more than four times their original size. But so far I have not encountered anyone who said that the lens has been lost, although the Internet is now Sharing is the mainstream, and the impact of picture quality is not particularly great, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the picture of 55 1.8 can still be fully opened even if the aperture is open to the maximum.
See details: Quality Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 lens evaluation
The 55mm focal length is approximately 50mm, which is the closest to the human eye, so it is best for shooting people!
â–¼ That surely promised friends to pat!
â–¼To go to a friend's house, you don't forget to take a few artistic photos!
â–¼ Followed by a variety of life in the follow-up. Look at my human eye.
The 55mm focal length is a bit tight for the scenery.
Writing here feels the post is a bit long, but the classmates, the following are all dry goods!
Control Dial: The small dial on the back of the camera can be set to a few functions because it is set to “Not set†due to carelessness.
C2 and C3: These two buttons are buttons that you can easily press. So, I set options that often need to change on these two keys - the focus area and the human eye focus. Since the “focus area†is more convenient to use with the “control dial†and “four-direction keys†controlled by the thumb, it is set on the C2 on which the index finger operates. So, C3 is the shortcut key to the human eye, because the factory setting of the human eye focus shortcut key is in the AF / MF switch button, this feature I am very common, the actual use of the thumb is most convenient to press the C3 key, So I changed to this key.
C1: The location of C1 is a bit awkward. When the button is pressed, the index finger needs to be pulled back. So set up a function that frequency is not high but will use function - switch "focus mode", mainly used for switching "continuous focus" and "single focus". In this way, both C1 and C2 are focus function settings, all in the front row, operated with the index finger, and are easy to remember.
C4: The operation of this button requires the left hand handset and the right thumb. There is a risk of a single right hand operation. Therefore, the "anti-shake function" is set to on and off. In this way, the tripod and the lower tripod will be double clicked. (Because of the absolute stability of the tripod, turning on the body anti-shake will result in damage to the picture quality.)
Left and Right Buttons: Left and Right Direction Buttons Because there are function indicators on the body, I also use the default settings - "shooting mode" and "ISO".
Down button: This button is close to the C4 position and operates similarly. I set the "white balance mode." I use Raw to store the shooting data, so it's not too much time to change the white balance when shooting, but when you need to switch the white balance or use custom white balance, it is more convenient to press a button to get a button than to enter the menu.
AEL Button Function and AF/MF Button: I have selected "AE Lock Switching" and "AF/MF Control Switching" respectively for these two buttons. This is because I'm more used to clicking and letting go.
Focus Hold button: This button is on the lens. This button does not appear on the FE55 1.8 lens, so there is no change.
Fn button: various settings function, I have piled into the Fn button, not much, but the setting options can be found. â–¼
The white balance setting is only useful for straight out jpeg photos, if you usually use RAW format, you can not change.
â–¼ To enter the white balance mode selection, select AWB and press the right arrow key to enter the white balance adjustment interface. Move to B (blue) and M (magenta) directions one by one.
This feature rarely sees anyone mentioning it, but it has only been tried in person to know how powerful it is because it is compared with many friends' SLRs. The photo tolerance of DRO dynamic range optimization is really scary.
Traditional camera HDR is made by shooting three exposures with different photos. This kind of HDR effect requires stable three shots, basic need of a tripod, and for most people, it is a bit “heavy taste†or effect. unnatural. Unlike conventional cameras with their own HDR function, DRO only requires a single shutter to achieve a higher degree of latitude, and the effect is more natural, as seen with no trace.
â–¼Comparison chart, using the same parameters of the M file shooting, the histogram can also be very intuitive to see, open the DRO, the brightness of the entire screen pixel distribution more even closer to the human eye to see. (The student in RAW format is best to turn off the DRO, because in the picture, the real-time preview on the screen will be brighter than the actual RAW file, and when the dark details are lost, don't blame me.)
7. Summary
The light is a 55mm, there are already a lot of themes can be shot, through the A7M2 and FE55 1.8 / ZA stable and easy to use, excellent picture expression, so I do not care about tedious setup and complex operation when shooting, More to think about how to compose pictures, how to express, and the small size and weight also make me willing to take it wherever I go. After all, it is more important than taking pictures.
