A few fun things about the Sony a6700 - stoppingdown - 06-06-2024
It's an outstanding camera body, but it has its own quirks...
1. When mounting the Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG DN Macro Art with aperture controlled by the lens ring and clicks disabled, if you don't precisely align the aperture ring with the notches, the focus assist continuously resets to 1x magnification, as it does when a setting is changed. This is quite funny, because of course the aperture setting doesn't change.
2. Yet another Dual ISO sensor with the Auto ISO feature not taking advantage of it. For instance, according to photonstophotos noise at ISO 400 is lower than in the range ISO 160-250: I'd expect that the sequence of ISO sensibilities to pick should be ISO 100, 125, 400, .... Even the a6600 didn't do that, but I expected it was something that the firmware would have picked sooner or later.
