      The Friedman Archives Guide to Sony's Alpha 9 - Gary L. Friedman

      Chapter 2      Essential Configuration

      New owners of recent Sony cameras often experience option shock – so many menu items and customizations are available that it literally flummoxes them.  Where to start?  This chapter is designed to address that very problem right away, so you can configure your camera in a way I’ve found to be useful.  Short descriptions are followed by hyperlinks to Section numbers where you can delve deeper into a function’s settings and learn more about the options available.

      I’ll be the first to admit that it’s inappropriate to jump into this much detail so early in the book.  But I know from experience that you’ve likely gone through the menus on your own before buying this book, and have a lot of immediate questions which this section can easily answer.  Plus it gives a nice overview of some of the camera’s more nuanced capabilities beyond what you’ve read in the headlines.  Chapter 3 provides a more traditional introduction to the camera’s controls and where to find the most essential controls and features.

      2.1      My Personal Camera Settings

      I know there are a lot of features to absorb and settings to understand with this camera.  And I’ll try to explain each one to you properly throughout the course of this book.  But, I know from history that the most often-referenced part of my previous books has been My Personal Camera Settings, and so I’m including them up front here just to give you a jump-start and help walk you through some of the features at the same time.  Of course I change these settings a lot depending on what I’m shooting, the light level, and the effect I want to achieve.  But these represent my standard configuration.
