Camera-Specific Tips
- 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.
