Movie recording is only possible in Live View and pressing the movie-record button starts and ends recording. You have to pre-visualise where the edges of the crop will be on the aspect screen. If you press and hold down the shutter button while recording a video clip, movie recording will stop, a frame will be captured and the camera will exit from Live View mode.
Matrix metering is used for movie recording, regardless of the metering pattern selected. Face detection is available but the number of subjects that can be picked up in a frame is less than for shooting stills. Autofocusing is also slower. The D provides the same range of in-camera editing effects as the D and side-by-side comparisons of original and retouched images are available , along with movie clip trimming. Exposure metering was consistently competent, regardless of the metering pattern selected and exposures were usually well-positioned.
The Active D-Lighting function ensured highlight and shadow details were recorded adequately in most JPEG shots, although the auto setting was unable to compensate fully for strong backlighting. Colour rendition was slightly warm, particularly with JPEGs, although not as much as we found with the D we reviewed.
Saturation was slightly elevated but not to the extent that pictures looked excessively colour-rich with the default standard Picture Control setting. Imatest confirmed our subjective assessment and showed reds and oranges to have elevated saturation in JPEG shots. Colour accuracy was improved and saturation closer to normal levels in NEF. As with the D, we found autofocusing to be reasonably fast when the viewfinder was used for shot composition but fairly slow in Live View mode.
Fortunately, it caused no problems with actual exposures beyond delaying shot-to-shot times see below. Imatest showed resolution to be up to expectations for a megapixel camera — but only for NEF. JPEG image files recorded resolution levels slightly below expectations in our Imatest tests. JPEGs taken at the Hi 1 and Hi 2 settings retained their resolution remarkably well, as shown in the table of our Imatest results below. The graph below shows the results of our Imatest tests.
Lateral chromatic aberration was consistently negligible in our Imatest tests. We found little evidence of flare and ghosting in backlit shots, even when the light source was just outside of the frame.
Long exposures at night showed little noise right up to ISO and, although noise could be seen at higher ISO settings, it was reasonably well controlled and shots could be printed at smaller output sizes. No stuck pixels were detected. Little noise was visible in available-light and flash shots at high ISO settings and image sharpness remained commendable at the two highest ISO settings.
White balance performance was similar to the D The auto setting failed to remove the warm cast of incandescent lighting and left a residual greenish hue in shots taken under fluorescent lighting with our standard tests.
The manual pre-sets tended to over-correct. However, for everyday shooting in mixed lighting, the camera produced usable images most of the time and plenty of in-camera adjustments are provided for correcting colour casts. Video quality was similar to the D and generally pretty good. In bright conditions, clips were correctly exposed and moving subjects were recorded smoothly. The exposure system handled transitions between bright conditions and deep shade quite well in panned shots, although very bright subjects were often blown-out.
Exposure readjustment while zooming was usually smooth. Audio quality was acceptable in quiet conditions but wind noise reduced quality in clips recorded out-of-doors because the camera lacks a built-in wind filter. In quiet conditions, the microphone often picked up the focusing and zooming sounds from the lens. Despite powering-up in less than half a second, the review camera was a little sluggish for a modern DSLR. When the viewfinder was used for shot composition, we measured an average capture lag of 0.
The Sony a7 IV is the fourth generation of the company's core a7 full-frame mirrorless camera model, and it's the most advanced yet. Click through for an in-depth look at Sony's latest full-frame mirrorless ILC. Nik Silver Efex Pro 3, one of the standout components of Nik Collection 4, is a black-and-white conversion tool that goes far further than the grayscale or black-and-white tools built into all-in-one photo apps.
For some users, this app alone might be worth the cost of the whole collection — find out for yourself in our review. The Nikon Z mm F2. Get all the details in our full review.
These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality. Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform. In this guide we've chosen a selection of cameras that make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images, ideal for sharing on social media. If you're looking for the perfect drone for yourself, or to gift someone special, we've gone through all of the options and selected our favorites.

Parts and sub-assemblies can, and do come from any country. These features enable capture of high-resolution images with excellent expression of tones. With standard sensitivity settings of ISO — and additional increases up to Hi 2 ISO equivalent , the camera offers improved capability with shooting under dim lighting, such as in the evening or indoors, and also produces better results with capture of rapidly moving subjects.
The High Dynamic Range HDR function captures two shots of varying exposure each time the shutter-release button is pressed, and then combines the two shots into a single image with a broad dynamic range. Resulting images beautifully recreate the scene as seen with the naked eye, even with shooting of backlit scenes, with little or no loss of detail in shadows or highlights. Visibility has been increased with the large 3-inch, approximately k-dot high-resolution vari-angle monitor adopted for the D In addition, the range of colors that can be reproduced by the monitor is equivalent to that of the sRGB gamut.
Adoption of a side hinge for the vari-angle monitor prevents the monitor from hitting the tripod when it is opened while the camera is mounted on a tripod. This enables shooting from a wide variety of angles, from low to high, making even self portraits possible. The D is equipped with the D-Movie function that enables recording of high-definition movies X p, 30p exhibiting superior video quality.
Autofocusing during movie recording is possible using contrast-detect AF. When the focus mode is set to full-time-servo AF AF-F and the AF-area mode to subject-tracking AF, the camera automatically maintains focus on a subject moving throughout the frame. What's more, the D is equipped with built-in support for stereo audio recording via the Stereo Microphone ME-1 available separately , and the mode dial and live view switch have been positioned on the same spindle in consideration of operational ease.
