Tips
ISO
The a99 II allows you to set a custom Auto ISO range, which is useful for varying lighting conditions.
Aperture
You can set the aperture in manual mode while looking through the viewfinder for precise control.
The Sony a99 II features a dedicated rear control dial for quick adjustments to your aperture settings. This allows you to change the aperture without taking your eye off the viewfinder, ensuring you capture the perfect depth of field in your shots.
Use the Eye AF feature on the Sony a99 II to maintain sharp focus on your subject's eyes, especially useful in portrait photography. This can be activated by assigning it to a custom button for quick access.
The a99 II's in-body image stabilization (IBIS) helps you shoot handheld in low-light conditions by reducing camera shake. This is particularly beneficial when you need to use slower shutter speeds without a tripod.
Take advantage of the a99 II's Dual SD card slots to separate RAW and JPEG files or use them for overflow when one card fills up. This ensures you never miss a shot due to lack of storage.
The Sony a99 II's electronic viewfinder (EVF) offers a live histogram display, allowing you to monitor exposure levels in real-time. This feature helps you make precise exposure adjustments on the fly.
