Synopsis
This Snapshots book will teach NEX-6 owners how to take great shots using their new Sony camera. Users learn how to create the type of photos that inspired them to buy the camera in the first place. Everything in the book is in service of creating a great image.
Starting with the top ten things users needed to know about the camera, photographer Jerod Foster carefully guides readers through the operating features. Owners get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and even end of chapter assignments. The book will also include coverage of shooting video.
Significant new features:
- The NEX-6 offers 16.1mp CMOS sensor, 2.3 million dot OLED EVF, a built-in flash, 1080p60 video, and even adds an exposure mode dial and an ISO standard hot shoe connection.
- The NEX-6, like the NEX-5R, uses a modified sensor with pixels devoted to performing phase-detection to provide a hybrid autofocus system and faster auto-focus and continuous shooting performance.
- The NEX-6 has built-in DNLA-compliant Wi-Fi and on-camera apps.
The Sony NEX-6 is expected in October 2012 for MSRP $849 and with a 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS power zoom for an attention-grabbing MSRP of $US 999.
