So I had been facing an issue with my new Sony A6400M Camera, after I changed some settings. It started taking two pictures of each capture, one a broad one, covering the entire area and then another focused on a specific area, that is even useless, because it just takes random objects in focus. Since I bought this camera sometimes back, I have been operating it with auto mode, because I am not knowledgeable on how to operate it for manual shooting. The online guide that is available has some summarized content, but that won't tell you, how they take effect in reality. And then there is a whole bunch of videos, classroom tutorials that is available at the dedicated site https://alphacommunity.in/ , but it needs some dedicated time to go through it.
So in the absence of my available time, I am continuing to operate in auto mode, but then I tried changing some settings to make some better pictures. And then what came out of that experiment was beyond my understanding. So I started looking for some community help and posted my query first in alphacommunity forum : https://forum.alphacommunity.in/.
Why does ILCE-6400M takes two snaps in auto mode, with the picture set to highest resolution ?
I bought this ILCE-6400M sometimes back, but not been able to learn to handle it for manual photography. So I have been mostly taking pictures in auto mode. Auto Mode is set to Superior Auto, Drive Mode to Single Shooting, JPEG Quality Extra fine, Focus Mode is Automatic AF. But whenever I take a photo, it takes two snaps, one is as focused covering the entire area, and other is a close up, that is PART of the entire area that is in the lens. Can anyone tell, why it takes two images ?
So this is what I remember, what I changed. The alphacommunity forum has Threads like ours, so this was a thread.
Eleven people saw this but not a single reply providing some solution. So I started looking for some more help and posted the same in the Facebook community dedicated for Sony α6400M : https://www.facebook.com/groups/sonya6400shooters/.
This was my first post on that group, and I had to wait for some time before the Admin approved and it got published. And look at the responses, that was very quick.
“Auto Object Framing” was the culprit and Keith Brown is so pin pointed - It’s on the 14th screen of the first camera menu. Khairul Ikmar pointed that, if hdr mode is on (which is not true), it will takes two pictures. And I must say, I am super excited to see this kind of fast and accurate response - that's the power of community - help each other, without even any incentive, isn't it ?.
We need this kind of communities on #hive - engaging and supportive - need not be through long posts, which spoils the purpose. Since we have incentives here, its a bit difficult to curate and reward the genuine answers, but definitely, this is something very important for obvious user retention - a problem that we have not been able to solve.
What do you say ?
