Tips for Your Camera
- Your Sony a7CR has in-body stabilization (~7 stops). In this scene, you can often handhold at slower shutter speeds than the table shows.
These values are general recommendations. The wizard gives you values optimized for your Sony a7CR and lens — plus step-by-step menu paths.
Camera-Specific Tips
- The a7CR's electronic viewfinder (EVF) offers a live histogram display, helping you balance exposure in real-time. This feature is especially useful to avoid overexposed highlights or underexposed shadows.
- Customize the C1 and C2 buttons on the a7CR for quick access to your most-used settings. Assign functions like Focus Peaking or Zebra Patterns to these buttons for faster adjustments.
- The a7CR's weather sealing makes it a reliable choice for outdoor photography. You can confidently shoot in challenging weather conditions without worrying about dust or moisture.
