Agreed. The "reds" issue is separate, I think.Curious what research and which DSLRs don't "do reds"? In my opinion, the issues exhibited in the image presented are technical: incorrect white balance, soft focus and over-exposure. I'm curious if all Sonys produce these results. I was under the impression that they make the sensors used in Nikon DSLRs-- but I've produced reds that mirror what I saw with little or no PP.

Please explain: how does stopping down increase saturation? Or are you saying that reducing the exposure increases saturation?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, reducing exposure

In my opinion, and looking at the picture, you didn't need ISO 200 and the photo is out of focus ( as you mentioned of windy weather). Keeping that in mind, i would think 1/250 is still low. ISO 100 and high shutter speed (for the movement) would work. To bring out the color(s), i would say, may be you can try polarize lens. With the lens you have mentioned, if you had zoomed quite well and with the hand held you might get the vibration. Reduce the zoom and you can give that a try. Please try different options and let us know.

Go into you cameras menu and set to vivid then increase the saturation in the menu to your liking and try that Red always looks better with a vivid setting and increased saturation

I took this image this week end with Sony A7R and
Sony 55-210mm lens, f/6.3 1/250 shutter speed and ISO 200.
In Bridge the red color looked blown out, I know it could be fixed in Bridge or Photoshop but I want to know what I could have done to capture the red's better. Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't use Bridge very often, but I was interested in your statement "I know it could be fixed in Bridge or Photoshop". How do you fix anything in Bridge?

[quote=nsainato]It is always best to click on "store original" when you ask a question like this. The download is better and camera data will be seen for specific information such as white balance. This picture is over exposed but I would like to see how the DOF is measured and other things. David

In Bridge I go to Tone Curve and moving the handles on the corners of the curve I try to get the top triangle that is (anything other than black, what is called highlight clipping warning sign) to get to be black by moving the curve handles. I do it for both sides, than I go to basic setting and move clarity and vibrance without throwing off highlight clipping warning signs.

There is lots of good advice here.... if your subject is moving because of wind, find something to block it like a piece of foam board and if it is bright and sunny, the light will wash your colors out... use a polarized filter and a ND filter or wait till an hour before sunset... and you may want to manual focus but the key is try different things and you will get the shot you want. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks to all the responses. By the way I was in manual mode. Today is cloudy but first chance I get I will retry and try to diffuse the direct sunlight and underexpose half a stop as rpavich and others suggested.
I am posting another image taken the same day with Sony A7r with E 55-210mm OSS lens, manual setting, f/6.3 1/250 ISO 200. The camera did a little better on this one but as was said before I think reds are confusing the sensor or something, otherwise the camera takes very sharp pictures. I was puzzled that is why I posted the image and this has been very good for me as I try to teach myself by gathering information on line.

Keep up the good work. The only way to get better is to practice, practice, practice!

Aside from the focus bracketing would also have helped. It way to bright. At least a minus one stop would have enriched the colors.

The minimum focus distance for your lens is 1 meter (about 40 inches). Perhaps you were too close to focus?
The picture is bright, so a faster shutter speed, lower iso # or smaller aperture would help. With your Sony you should be able to preview the picture while composing it. I have an a65 (SLT technology) so I can see what my exposure settings will do with my photo in my OLED view finder before I take the picture.
