Cautionary tale for those who consider for a new Sigma camera. My Take on the Leica M How to photograph snow - which metering? The kit also includes a wrist strap, two standard alkalines and a USB cable.
This is a very basic, no-frills kit in keeping with its low price. Image Courtesy of Sony. The Cybershot DSC-S is good to go in less than two seconds similar to new digicams from better brands. It was quite good, working well in dark rooms as well as strong light. Still I was happy to have the viewfinder in really bright sunshine. Sony may have cut the size but the real-world results were more than acceptable.
Shot-to-shot times were also very fast with very little shutter lag. In some instances the shutter seemed a bit too sensitive, firing quickly before I thought the focusing process was complete. Here it was just a shaded battery. On the plus side, AAs are readily available anywhere in case you run out of juice at the worst moment. I found standard alkalines gave it up before the rated shots.
I took a variety of shots outdoors in the crisp winter air as well as some indoor still life images using the Auto settings, scene modes and the High Sensitivity setting using a number of ISO options is the fastest.
However, the noise at was under control but still noticeable. This software is radically improved compared to the Picture Package with a simple user interface and storage options for your shots. Then if you want to look for images by date you can go to calendar view. The Right arrow turns the Macro close-up mode on and off, and the Left arrow accesses the Quick Review mode, which displays the most recently captured image on the screen. The Down arrow accesses the Self-Timer mode.
In Playback mode, the Right and Left arrows scroll through captured images, while the Up and Down arrows adjust playback volume. When Playback zoom is enabled, all four arrows scroll around within the enlarged view, while pressing the center button returns to the normal, 1x display. Menu Button : Upper left of the Five-Way Arrow pad, this button activates the settings menu in any camera mode. The Menu button also turns off the menu display.
Movie resolutions are x Fine and Standard, and x pixels. In Playback mode, it cycles through the same series. Scene Modes : Marked on the Mode dial with a black line, these modes are for capturing images in specific situations. Both Twilight modes capture images in low light, although the Twilight Portrait mode automatically enables the Red-Eye Reduction flash mode, combining it with a slower shutter speed to let ambient lighting brighten the background as well.
Because the camera employs a slower shutter speed in both Twilight modes, a tripod is highly recommended to prevent blurring from camera movement. Candle mode is just for candlelit scenes, great for birthdays or services. A tripod is recommended. Snow and Beach modes optimize the camera for bright situations and prevent color loss from overexposure.
Landscape mode sets the focus at infinity and uses a smaller lens aperture to capture sharp details both near and far away. Soft snap mode enhances skin colors while keeping a soft focus for a pleasing glow.
Manual Mode : This mode provides total control over the exposure, as you're able to select both aperture and shutter speed independently of each other. Apertures range from 2. Program Mode : This mode is marked on the Mode dial with a "P. Automatic Mode : Indicated on the Mode dial with a green camera icon, this mode puts the camera in control over the exposure and everything except Macro, Image Size and Quality, Zoom, Flash, and the Self-Timer.
Playback Mode : Playback mode is noted on the Mode dial with the traditional Playback symbol a triangle enclosed within a black rectangle outline. In this mode, you can scroll through captured images, delete them, write-protect them, and set them up for printing on PictBridge-compatible printers. You can also copy, resize, and rotate images.
Movie Mode : A filmstrip icon marks this mode on the Mode dial. In Movie mode, you can record moving images and sound, for as long as the Memory Stick or internal memory has space.
Resolution and quality choices are x , or x pixels. Recording in x Fine mode is only available with a Memory Stick Pro card. The S60 offers a Multi Burst mode separate from the movie mode and selected in the menu in Auto, Program, Manual, and Scene modes, which captures an extremely rapid frame burst of images, at a selectable rate of 7. Multi Burst shots are played back as a slow-motion animation on the camera, but appear as a single large file with 16 sub-images in it when viewed on a computer.
This would be a fun way to catch someone crossing a finish line during a race, or to analyze golf and tennis swings. A Burst mode is also available, and captures a rapid series of images for as long as the Shutter button is held down. Frame rates and the maximum number of images depends on the image quality and resolution settings, as well as the amount of available memory space. Record Menu : Available in all three Record modes by pressing the Menu button, the Record menu offers the following options some options are not available in all modes :.
Setup Mode : This mode allows you to change a variety of camera settings, and is accessible through each of the camera menus. Recommended Software: Rescue your Photos! Just as important as an extra memory card is a tool to rescue your images when one of your cards fails at some point in the future. We get a lot of email from readers who've lost photos due to a corrupted memory card. Memory card corruption can happen with any card type and any camera manufacturer, nobody's immune.
A lot of "lost" images can be recovered with an inexpensive, easy to use piece of software though. Given the amount of email I've gotten on the topic, I now include this paragraph in all my digital camera reviews.
