Yesterday afternoon I flew from the Bolzano to Antwerp to have spend Christmas with my wives family. I took this image during the landing in Antwerp with my Sony A7rV. And today I want to wish you all a beautiful time with the people you love and care. Try to use your Sony gear to take some nice images ;)
To all of you Merry Christmas!
Most of the camera reviewers did not have enough time to explore this subject recognition in any depth during the initial review period.
This video tutorial sets out to explain how to navigate the myriad of Sony settings for AI Subject recognition. This will allow A7RV owners to further understand the camera’s AI Subject Recognition and help them to optimise the settings to suit their own photographic workflows.

Tokina 11-18mm lens is at BHphoto. Adorama.
Lenstip tested the Tokina lens and concluded:
I like many aspects of the Tokina ATX-M 11–18 mm f/2.8 E. First of all it is very sharp in the frame centre. At the shorter end of the focal spectrum it allows you to get images of very good quality across the frame.
Additionally, it corrects distortion and vignetting with the help of optics – a rare thing nowadays. I am very happy Tokina constructors didn’t pin that task on a camera software even though it made their work much more difficult. They managed to construct a lens that is sharp and completely able to correct most of optical aberrations in a right way and they should be praised for it.
Still, not all aberrations are corrected that well. The lens fell short of it when it comes to lateral chromatic aberration – perhaps the situation is not as bad as it used to be but still it can’t be called good either. Perormance against bright light is a very painful slip-up – years have passed and Tokina still can’t show us wide angle instruments which would be efficient in that area.
