Download Sony a7rIII Manual Preliminary

Image
This is the manual for the new Sony a7r III / mark 3 46mp full frame camera with touch screen. We think this is a preliminary copy since it does not match the menu of the cameras we played with at Photo Plus Expo. We still think it's enough to feed those waiting for their a7r III pre-orders. Download the a7r iii manual via Dropbox. So what comes in the box if you bought a body only a7r III ? Accessories included with Sony a7r III So here is the discrepancy in the manual, under Shoot / Drive Mode, Px. Shift Multi Shoot is missing. I hope the next revision will have better detail on Pixel Shift shooting. Here is the Shoot Mode / Drive 1 menu on a pre-production Sony a7r III showing the Pixel Shift option. Pre-order your a7r III from Amazon and support this site. In case the Dropbox link dies, here is the Google link for the a7r III owner's manual .

Preview of NEX-7 TriNavi and EVF

Sony NEX-7 TriNavi Demo The video above shows the Sony NEX-7 TriNavi or Tri-Dial Navi Controls. The new user interface allows for quick and easy adjustments without going into too many menus. Once you have customized and familiarized yourself with the NEX-7 TriNavi adjustments will become second nature. We have never found the NEX-5 controls fuzzy especially after the Firmware 3.0 update which allowed for Customized Softkeys but the TriNavi is definitely an improvement. The NEX-7 in the video is in Aperture Priority mode and the TriNavi was used to adjust the following: Aperture/Exposure Compensation/ISO Focus Points White Balance Dynamic Range/HDR Adjustments Creative Styles and Adjustments The NEX-7 is then switched to Picture Effect mode and the TriNavi is used to go through the options. The video below shows the Sony Alpha SLT-a77's electronic viewfinder (EVF), which is the same XGA 2.35 Million dot OLED EVF used on the Sony NEX-7. The video shows a horizon / level in

The New Sony NEX-5N?

The New Sony NEX-5N? A member of the xitek.com forums, stevenyu123, has posted pictures of what could be the new Sony NEX-5N. The NEX-5N surfaced for a new Sony commercial which is being filmed in China. We can see that the Flash marking on the wheel seems to be gone and that there is an extra button on the top panel, to the right of the Movie button. Sony may have relocated the Playback button. A Scene From the NEX-5N Commercial Thanks stevenyu123 !
