If you were trying to make ev-bracketed shots, I bet the individual shots weren't exactly aligned with one another (even if the subject obligingly held still). If you are anything like me, the first time you tried to take a picture with your camera on a tripod, you decided that the results weren't worth the effort. One good thing about having purchased a Sony A7 is that now I have a long list of things to watch out for the next time I purchase a camera, which likely won't be a Sony even though in many ways I like my Sony A7 camera quite a lot. Only a limited number of the deliberately "firmware-crippled" features on the A7 have been "uncrippled" in the A7 MkII and MkIII, so many of the tips for the original A7 cameras also apply to newer A7 cameras.Įven if you don't have a Sony A7, you might find it interesting to peruse my list of complaints and associated links to articles about various shortcomings of the A7 line of cameras.

This tutorial also has advice for dealing with the Sony A7's crippled firmware. If you've never done this before, or even if you have but your shots didn't line up, this article has step-by-step instructions for shooting from a tripod.
