This is partly built on the detailed help function.
To this end, Sony has donated the camera an extra question mark button.
By pressing this you get displayed for each of the camera help texts setting.
If one is not just when setting the key provides general assistance to capture various scenes.
When rotating the mode wheel is described in picture and writing what this mode is to use well.
In addition to the clear and easy-to-use software also allows the placement of the buttons and wheel left nothing to be desired.
All buttons are labeled clearly and unambiguously, partially occupied several times, but that does not, as you quickly realize when the keys assume the function.
Only the mounted both on the lens and the camera autofocus switch ensures short confusion.
The camera is small, light and although it is too small for my huge hands is very comfortable to hold.
The viewfinder is as often not noticed visually but shows a display. This helps the camera, however, 5fps shooting.
The display in the viewfinder is high resolution and so is the whole not too tragic.
The external display is pivotally, but only on one axis. That helps a snapshot of over your head or belly height to make.
Who has criticized the resolution of the external display no Sigma SD1 in hand had (much higher price range).
Although you can see the pixels, but that is why it is not long useless.
Other pluses for the camera are the long battery life, fast image processing and a good (and especially fast) autofocus.
And I would like to highlight here the speed of the camera. 5fps, because you can already make flipbook with photographs.
Particularly suitable for taking pictures of animals, such as the departure of a bird.
The speed helps the camera to their super panoramic mode:
Simply press the shutter button, the camera moving horizontally or vertically and a finished panorama is created.
The quality of these panoramic photos is impressive. Only when objects in the image are there can be artifacts,
but which are aligned so that they often noticed only on closer inspection.
A 360 ° panorama I've made but not in a train.
There is no manual macro mode in the camera, however, macro scene may be identified in the automatic mode surprisingly well by itself.
The noise behavior is justified for the price range vollstens.
Negative points there are a few, but in the price range certainly manageable:
- The lens is quite cheap, but still useful for beginners.
- * Nor missing here a marking for manual focus. I had to think of something before I came up with the idea simply to turn the front of the lens times (AF off beforehand).
- HDMI and USB canopy installed impractical, something bothers the benefit of ports
Conclusion:
Who wants to have a small entry-level camera, the super photos makes is with the Sony SLT-A37K have a lot of fun.
Usable without prior experience. The few negative points are not appreciably for beginners.
