I am new to this forum and to the A900.
My A900, 24-70 and 70-400 arrived late yesterday afternoon. I am coming over from Nikon (D700 in fact) and am very excited. I leave tomorrow for 10 days in Colorado and am only taking my new Sony gear. Quite a leap of faith but I am confident I made the right choice. (and the sale of the Nikon gear funded the Sony gear). I had been thinking about it for quite some time and decided to just go for it.
Any tips/advice on settings etc. would be greatly appreciated. It is a bit of an adjustment from Nikon.
I keep trying to move the multi-selector to change the focus point and then realize I have to switch to local focus area first and not be in wide. Is there an easy way to do this.
Also, without sounding too stupid, how do I set the auto review to display the histogram? I had my Nikon set to automatically show a small image and the histogram at the same time.
One more question (maybe ): can I set the bracketing to bracket +- 1 instead of .3, .7 or 2? I was used to 5 shots at 1 but I guess 3 at +-2 would get me the same thing. I also used the fn button to quickly set it on Nikon. Any other shortcut on Sony or just the drive button?
Thanks for the help and I look forward to learning from this forum and becoming a part of the Sony family
