Shot by Scott

After reading the A99 Handbook a few times I  was very happy to see Eye-Fi card support for slot 1 🙂 me happy . I was I bit bummed that the camera didn’t have any Wi-Fi …..

A few other things that I noticed

• Recording location information using
  the GPS feature (SLT-A99V only)
• There is a new Wireless remote….. the RMT-DSLR1 will work but if you want o record video using the wireless remote you need a RMT-DSLR2 (sold separately)
• RAW images shot with the camera have a resolution of 14 bits per 1 pixel. However,
  this is limited to 12 bits in the following situations:
  – Long Exposure NR
  – BULB shooting
  – Continuous shooting (including multiple shooting, such as continuous shooting in
  Superior Auto mode)
• “Remote Camera Control software” YEAAA Tether shooting is defiantly included. I want to test this with the EYE FI card in the studio

The next interesting thing I noted setting the method for recording on a
memory card

• Standard Records images only on the memory card inserted in the slot selected with [Select Recording Media]
• Simult. Rec (Still) Records still images on both of the memory cards inserted in the 2 slots, regardless of the [Select Recording Media]
  setting, and records movies on the memory card inserted in
  the slot selected with [Select Recording Media]. Still images
  using the same file number will be recorded in the folders
  that have the same folder number on both memory cards.
• Simult. Rec (Movie) Records movies on both of the memory cards inserted in the2 slots, regardless of the [Select Recording Media] setting, and records still images on the memory card inserted in the
  slot selected with [Select Recording Media]. MP4 movies using the same file number will be recorded in the folders that have the same folder number on both memory cards.
• Sim. Rec (Still/Movie) Records still images/movies on both of the memory cards.
• Sort(JPEG/RAW) Records JPEG data on the memory card inserted in the slot selected with [Select Recording Media], and records RAW
  data on the other memory card.
• Sort(Still/Movie) Records still images on the memory card inserted in the slot selected with [Select Recording Media], and records movies
  on the other memory card.

so with 2 cards i can make an auto back up when shooting simultaneously to both cards … or record different formats to different cards ….. very cool
