using Picture Effect with Sony A6000
Jun 9, 2020 16:41:37 #
When I select the Deep Monochrome setting in Picture Effect, and in aperture priority single-shot drive, my A6000 takes multiple shots (can't really count how many). But when I try to retrieve them, my recall button shows the same shot over and over, and never gets out of it. What is happening? Thanks.

Yes, I found this on Sony's site:This sounds like HDR but in monochrome. It's called Rich tone mono on my a-mounts.
In the case of [HDR Painting] and [Rich-tone Mono.], the shutter is released three times for one shot.

For "deep" or "rich" monotone, the camera must be taking 3 exposures and combining into one result. To me, that makes sense

I know you didn't ask but that's not the only time it does that unsolicited. I never found a way to predict when it is going to happen. I know it'll do it automatically in low light situations. First few times it happened to me I couldn't figure out why it was doing that. Surprised me. It combines the shots and only shows you the combo results. I had to rethink my habits and not move the camera 'til it finished.

Are you using HDR? That is the only other time I have noticed multiple shutter release.

Not purposely. I think I finally figured out that under certain light conditions it will opt to shoot a hdr series on its own if you attempt to shoot when the light conditions are just right. I didn't keep the camera or used it long before I gave the a6000 to my son and got an a6500. I haven't shot much with the a6500 but haven't noticed it doing that. There's a fellow here who seems to have mastered the a6000. His handle is a6k. If he happens onto this perhaps he'll tell us under what all the circumstances an a6000 will do that.

That's interesting. I have both the A6000 and the A6500, and haven't noticed that problem with either model, unless I deliberately pick the HDR option or the 'rich' monotone option. By the way, I also noticed after I got the A6500 that the silent shutter option (which I like a lot) does not work when you are in HDR. Small thing. Otherwise, I am a strong fan of these Sony cameras, especially the quality of the lenses. I switched over completely from 4 decades of Nikon use to Sony. Next purchase is a Sony A7 (or one of the later derivatives).

I thought about that and then I recalled that it'd probably be useful to have it out in the open where others might benefit by seeing a6k's answer. I've never seen a thread about the a6000 that he didn't get involved in. He is very knowledgeable and seems to enjoy being helpful in sharing his knowledge. I'll alter my recommendation to include a message to him if he doesn't show up and participate. We need some way to tag people we want to call into a conversation, or is there a tagging process I don't know about?

I didn't perceive that the auto bracketing was a problem because I'm inclined to try to shoot when there's not enough light and came to rely on that feature with regularity. I just got an a7riii last week and I think I'm really gonna like it. I've been shooting full frame since the first one came out in 2009 and I just can't get comfortable with a crop sensor results. Way too much noise and a lot of that's my fault because I don't enjoy shooting at base iso and therefore bring the problem on myself. A lot of what I like to shoot just doesn't pan out at base iso. If I stuck to base iso I'd rarely get a shot.

What a brilliant idea. Why didn't you do that?
How come I have to wake up from a nap and find this. Think of all the time you've wasted while I was busy taking a nap. What good does it do for you to be so much smarter than I am if you just sit on your ideas and wait on some old slug to wake up and get it done?Jun 10, 2020 17:14:57 #

I did receive Linda’s invitation. I am flattered to be invited. And I would like to be helpful. However I only shoot raw. Therefore I really don’t know anything about this subject. Sorry.
