Hi from Norfolk.

[Kediza]

I have been a Nikon user for a few years but have migrated to an A1 with 200-600mm . Still getting use to the menus etc. Hopefully will be able to learn from this forum.

Welcome to the Forum Peter. Glad that you could join us.

I'm also in Norfolk, Ludham, between Horning and Potter. Also new to this forum having recently dropped nikon for weight reasons.

Whereabouts are you?

Welcome.

Welcome Peter and thanks for joining up here and introducing yourself. I'm sure it won't take you to long to get your head around the a1. Once you have all of the controls and buttons set up to your liking you will rarely need to go into the menus.

Hi Peter, I recommend you watch Mark Smith on YouTube for A1 settings. Mark specialises in wildlife and BIF photography. I have a A9ii with the 200-600mm and learnt a lot from his videos. I customised my buttons and use the My menu section to arrange all settings that I use the most so I don’t have to go scrolling looking through all the sections. I’m on the Lincolnshire-Cambridgeshire boarder but love to go to Norfolk with my camera. Good luck with your setup!

I would further recommend another resource, Mark Galer. Mark is a Brit by birth but know lives in Au7stralia and is a Sony Digital Imaging Ambassador. He is an absolute Master with Sony equipment and has been a Pro photographer for over 42 years and has more than 25 years experience as a photographic educator. You can start here, but you will miss much if you don't become a Patron of his Sony Support Service. It will cost you $10.00 for one month, but even if you quit after a month, his A1 eBook is worth much more than $10.00.

Thankyou Gavin & Jeff for the info of YT videos. I will take a look at them both.
