Camera-Specific Tips
- Use the Sony RX100 V's built-in ND filter to shoot in bright conditions without overexposing your images. This is especially useful for achieving motion blur effects or when you want to use a wide aperture for shallow depth of field.
- Enable Focus Peaking on the RX100 V to easily see which areas of your image are in focus. This is particularly useful when manually focusing in low-light conditions or for achieving precise focus with shallow depth of field.
