The Sony Alpha 200
At the moment my camera is a Sony alpha 200 and I recommend it for beginners. I will be exploring all the types of settings and explaining them.
Here is a picture of my camera. My lens at the moment is 3.5-5.6/18 - 70. It takes Compact Flash cards.
The settings of the camera are:
- Auto - Does everything automatically (the focus, aperture, shutter speed etc).
- No Flash-Doesn't make a flash when a picture is being taken.
- Portrait-Blurs away background, sharpens subject and makes skin tones soft.
- Landscape-Shoot the entire range of scenery in sharp focus with vivid colours.
- Macro-Shoot close subjects such as flowers, insects or small objects and achieves clear sharp focus.
- Sport-Captures moving subject outdoors or in bright places.
- Sunset-Captures the red of the sunset.
- Night time-shoot portraits at night and night scenes without loosing a dark atmosphere of the surroundings.
- Manual-Allows the user to shoot with the desired amount of each setting.
- Shutter priority-Use a quick shutter speed to capture an instant of the moment. Use a slow shutter speed to shoot a trailing image of the moving subject.
- Aperture priority-Opening the aperture narrows the range that is in focus. closing the aperture widens the range that is in focus.
this picture wwas taken with a low aperture.
Here is a picture of the aperture setting. This is what is inside the camera and controls how much light is let in.
- Programme-Makes use of the automatic exposure mode while keeping the custom setting for ISO sensitivity, creative style and D-range optimizer.
Other settings on the Sony a200:
- Self timer-Either 2 seconds or 10 seconds.
- Flash-Automatic, manual and no flash.
- Exposure- Exposure is the total density of light allowed to get into the camera at the instant the photo is being taken.
- ISO-ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor.
- Drive Mode-Continuous and Single
- AEL-Automatic Exposure Lock
- Super Steady Shot-Tells the user how much camera shake there is.
