Hi Sony R1 owners,
since we talked here a lot about the Sony R1, I just wanted to ask for your experience. Maybe I am too dump to use an R1, but I am very disappointed with it. I just bought it 3 days ago.
Images are nice but firmware is a nightmare. Has anybody tried the auto-iso function in combination with aperture priority (A) or speed priority (S)
I made some snapshots today and tried some of thses combos.
1. ISO auto only works in the bandwith from ISO 160 up to ISO 400. Everything above is ignored by the firmware. I understand something else under the name "iso Auto". This is already strange.
2. and even worse, try to set speed to 1/125 or faster in speed priority (s) on a cloudy day (flash turned off). You will be surprised, that the firmware forces you to use ISO 160 making the image way too dark.
I wonder why speed priority with ISo auto is an option then, if the firmware ignores my "wish". Instead of increasing ISO setting (if lens is already at full aperture) to match the bad wheather, it makes the image with ISO 160 and therefore too dark? Any logic behind this?
Can you imagine how disappointed I was to see the results this evening?
Did I have overseen something here? Anybody else with this experience? I will send my R1 back, if this turns out to be the way how Sony thinks ISO auto & aperture and speed priority should work...
