Ashwin takes any camera to higher levelsMore beautiful images Helena. You and Ashwin are taking the Rx1 to a new level.
None of us really lives with one lensGreat images but I'm just not sure I could live with just one lens... I used to shoot with the Fuji fixed lens 6x7 and 6x9 rangefinders but I think I had a two or three focal lengths to choose from if I remember correctly..? I would definitely miss a viewfinder though, I just don't like shooting with only a rear LCD. But the image quality and AF certainly looks great.
One lens can be surprising liberating. Shot with an M2 and a 35 summicron for about 20 years, and it just got deeper and better. Lens stables tend to grow, sometimes without control!Great images but I'm just not sure I could live with just one lens...

Where I live, they let you have more than one camera...Great images but I'm just not sure I could live with just one lens...

If not we would all have to move...:ROTFL:Where I live, they let you have more than one camera...
When you press the shutter release button partway down the autoexposure (AE) is locked. That means if you move the camera position, the exposure will not change.Coming from the easy to use Leica M9, I am having some trouble dealing with the enormous number of settings and partly totally unnecessary options of the RX1.
Some do not interest me and esp. not the video, but there are still a great number I have questions about:
First I shoot in RAW.
1) what does "AEL w/shutter" mean? It is set to On
Multi2) what metering mode to select?
I use center.3) what AF Area do I use: Multi, Center or Spot?
Sure. It should not affect RAW.4) Should D-R be at off?
Should not affect RAW.5) Should DRO stay at auto?
Whichever you prefer6) Should peaking level best be at High, or Mid or Low?
Whichever you perfer.7) Peaking color white or red?
I use hold so it returns to the focus mode when I let it go.8) C-button I programmed at AF/MF control toggle?
Yes, until Sony updates its profiles.9) Lens shading at off?
OK.10) Chrom Aberration and distortion both auto?
I use neither.11) Face Priority tracking (no need to have) on off?
12) Face registration (no need for that) on off?
OK.13) Folder name at date format?
That is the digital zoom that produces files at the same resolution as the native res. Only with JPEG.14) What is "Smart Telecon/zoom?
Don't use the "Auto" exposure mode.15) How can I eliminate for ever "tracking focus"
16) When I use "display monitor" I get a.o. a tiny little histogram, can I enlarge this?No.
I don't know. Did you?17) I did put ISO at the right side , metering mode down and Drive mode at the left side of the controm wheel.
We all have to read the manual, although the Sony site is better. I would spend some time with it and the camera and learn how to use it. Otherwise you are simply going to be a slave to whatever it wants to do. The camera is really no that complicated.Your help is very much appreciated and I thank you on beforehand for your efforts!
