    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks all, some GREAT pictures and suggestions I was mainly trying to get the shades and colours correct in my picture. Composition is of course important, but that's all hands on, so it's literally in my hands ithut having to know how to 'work the camera'. As for the using the camera...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks all for the continued tips :) I had a bit of success I think. I took a raw picture, and used software to make 3 different exposures of it then blend them together. It seemed to work quite well...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks :) I think you mean 'HDR' (high dynamic range) mode. It definately brings out the dark areas, but you have to be carefull to only use it in a static scene. Thanks for the tips for both books, I will try to check them out. I took a few RAW pictures today with lower EV, the...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks again all :) Without sounding pushy, if I can just ask this question again: Can anyone confirm any major issues I will face in 'P' mode? Or if I set everything I see in the menus to 'auto' and just change the 'EV' I won't be overlooking anything? That seems a good place to...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Ok :), I may have to. Can anyone confirm any major issues I will face in 'P' mode? Or if I set everything I see in the menus to 'auto' and just change the 'EV' I won't be overlooking anything? Thanks again

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks very much. The problem here is that I can't select it in auto mode. I have to be at least in 'P' mode, and I don't know how to configure the other settings while in that mode, therefore the picture will be potentially worse (although I think I can set most things to auto even in 'P' mode...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks everyone for the in depth views, tips and suggestions. Its at least nice to know my camera isn't faulty. Maybe there is new firmware for it though? I can see some incredible pictures here. Even the ones taken in intelligent auto are stunning to say the least. So, I can't under...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Thanks for the input :) Should I get blown highlights on intelligent auto mode ? That's what seems to happen I think.. the lights are too 'blown out' and the shadows are too dark. I tried to rectify this with 'HDR' setting, which helped a bit, but then it creates a blr if there is anything...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Hi Bill :) I edited the pictures with corel paintshop pro x7 It saves them in a surprisingly small file size, but they seem to retain quality! The portraits are 'compressed' also, but still look great. I don't have any 'full size pictures at the moment, but will take some fresh ones tomorrow...

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Sony Newbie blown away by Portraits, but dissapointed with landscapes

    Hi all I'm new here and I'm glad I found this interesting forum. I have an RX100 of course, and I was stunned at the quality of the portraits in portrait mode. The landscape shots I have been taking have not been anywhere near the same high quality. I've tried landscape mode...
