Sony A1 Update a1 firmware

[Robbe]

When comes the update for the a1 to stack in the body like the a7 V already can?

Not usually an issue for landscapes as the camera is tripod mounted and it's not likely you will see movement in the shot unless it's really windy, so you can use a longer exposure. Most of my seascapes are at 1/30th or so.

My first try with pixel shift and the A7RIV (back in 2019) was on a nice still day, no wind at all, and several images were spoiled by people walking across the scene, while another had a really weird effect when a flock of birds flew through.

I've not dabbled with it, mainly for this reason. It certainly wouldn't work with a seascape because of the crashing waves.

See, this is where we need to get creative. New challenge: Use pixel shift to take photos of people moving. Whoever gets their shot to look the most like a Picaso wins!

That's easy, shoot at ISO 102400 and pan. It will at the very least look like it was painted with a stickle brick

Super easy and just do it in post with an expressionist filter

This could get out of hand....

• ILCE-7RM4
• FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS
• 600.0 mm
• ƒ/7.1
• 1/800 sec
• ISO 1250

Wow, is that shot pixelated!

I think that’s the super-secret “turn your photos into a mosaic bathroom floor” device that Sony is alpha testing at the moment.

Lol. It's the Stained Glass filter in Photoshop. To be fair, I can see where it might have a use, it's actually quite clever.
