Originally posted by rawr I also note that the photographer behind the couple in the last shot was using what looks like a crop Canon, with no on-camera flash or even a radio trigger. The light at the venue must have been pretty good.
This was a THREE day wedding at 4 venues and at different times of the day or night. But I did not post pictures from all venues/times. There were 4 photographers [2 taking video with Sony cameras and 2 taking stills with either C or N] and they definitely had the works with strobes, flashes, radio triggers etc. Not sure if the photographer in the background was one of those but there were plenty of guests with cameras but mostly cameraphones having a go at it too.
The lighting was all over the place. I used Auto-ISO and Manual mode the whole time, and left the Aperture mostly at f4 and the shutter speed I varied depending on the amount of movement. I chose Auto ISO to deliberately test the ISO of the camera.
The last shot was when one of the ceremonies was over and they were walking out, I left the aperture at f4 and shutter speed at 1/125 and the camera chose ISO 1250. So relatively speaking that area of the venue had better lighting.
There were shots where the camera chose ISO super high ISO levels like over 100000 but those were not clean enough and I was not planning to work on shooting raw and pp so I ditched those.
Originally posted by rawr In terms of the high-ISO performance of the camera, to be honest any regular modern FF in the A7 series and 6D/D600 class and above could probably do just as well as the A7S here.
Is that right? This was my first time ever shooting with a FF [Rented]. Guess I should compare with one of the other A7 ones then as I would not want to carry a fat camera.
