Upgrade Your Sony Alpha with a Miller & Schneider A-Cup eyecup for Sony mirrorless cameras
They’re at it again! Miller & Schneider made their first upgrade Eye cup for the C100 and it desperately needed one. Followed with the G-Cup for the Panasonic GH4. I never understood why they didn’t name that one the P-Cup 😀 Now the Sony Alpha cameras get the A-Cup eyecup. The Sony a7s II and a7r […]
Sony “Clear Image Zoom” Gets 2X Zoom With No Image Quality Loss.
A lesser-known function of the new alpha cameras is called Clear Image Zoom. It’s a digital zoom feature that gives you a maximum of 2 times zoom. This is great, but just how good is it? Well, it’s pretty dang good! I can’t see any image quality loss from my testing when using Clear Image Zoom on […]
a7s II and a7r II Firmware Update boost “Improved Video Quality”
A little Pre-Holiday gift for Sony a7s II and a7r II owners but what is this gift? The only one that stands out is “Improves picture quality” That is a big deal however Sony doesn’t define what that is. Improved color? Less noise? More dynamic Range? I suppose we have to install and see. I’m […]
How I Fixed a Dead Pixel in my Sony a7s II. I can’t Believe this Actually Works!
The strangest thing occurred on Thanksgiving. I was taking lots of candid family pics with my a7s II and then I noticed a white dot in the middle of the image. I stopped shooting and ran a cleaning cycle to remove a dust speck but it didn’t go away and now that I’m thinking about […]

It’s Metabones firmware update time! V0.46 looks to improve a few bugs with Sigma and Tamron lenses and also autofocus support with the a7s II and a7R II PDAF speed improvement for most lenses.

Sony XAVC S Round Trip Issue Workaround with Premiere Pro CC to DaVinci Resolve
I’m getting comfortable using DaVinci Resolve 12 for the most part. Color Grading is just the best and the editing portion is pretty good too but I still have to use Premiere Pro CC 2015. I’ve been using the new Sony A7s II and a7r II lately I wanted to test how well XML round […]
Does the Sony a7s II Overheat? I Put the Camera to the Test
When the a7r II came out News Shooter Editor Dan Chung took the camera out to shoot a mini-doc and during the production the camera overheated. Since then we all wondered if the a7s II would as well so I did a little test to see if it does and here is the results. It […]
You Don’t Have to Shoot Log all the Time. Right?
Lately I’ve been asking myself why do I always shoot in log mode? Yes more dynamic range is nice but in low contrast situations is it really necessary? So I decided to go for a more baked in look with the original Sony a7s for situations that don’t need to be so flat and makes post […]
