Crop sensor vs frame ratio full#
Using crop mode with a full frame lens uses only the "center part" of the lens. Tried it the first time last Saturday when I got my G 200.600on my A7R III and wonders why I did not try it much easier On the A7R III it's only 17.8 MP but on the A7R IV it becomes a 26.2 MP RAW file - plenty of resolution for most things and you have a bigger view or the small portion of your image. 600 I see a benefit of the crop mode since you directly see the result in the viewfinder. Of course you can crop in post - that's what I did until now - with my G 200.
More then enough pixel to fill A2 prints.Longer reach (in case you enlarge to the same final output.Full coverage of PDAF detectors of almost the entire frame.Buffer can contain more images in a burst.Each ( uncompressed ) RAW file is significantly smaller.Probably a host of other things sped up too (autofocus?). I think the burst rate and speed to clear buffer is far faster with the crop. Said reviewer has propably confused the crop mode with the new Aspect ratio (1:1 and 4:3) modes that do maintain full-sensor RAW but allow easier composition for different aspect ratios. Had this from one of the A7RIV "hands on" review sites that said it still recorded the full RAW file. Very useful in cases like below cropped quite a bit even from crop mode RAW. One thing people tend to forget about crop mode is better EVF fill/magnitication: say you are photographing a small bird in a faraway branch (gonna be cropped a lot anyway): the better magnification in the EVF, easier to select correct moment or "expression", exactly place focus point etc. I use this a lot in A7R3 I mostly use uncompressed RAW with APS-C crop if you gonna crop somewhat anyway this gives you better DR in the final image area with smaller file size vs compressed RAW + cropping in post. Clearly stated in Sony brochure and this is how it works in for example A7RIII smaller RAW files, larger buffer. If only it did crop and could shoot faster it would make really good sense.ĭon't know about JPEG's since I never use it. And I have never ever used it in crop mode for the same reason. Thus you are right - no need to use it unless you find it difficult to visualise the crop factor or tend to stray away from the centre of your lens where it performs best. My understanding is that if you shoot in crop mode with RAW the A7R4 stills records the full RAW file. If you use APS-C mode, you are stuck on that 26 megapixel crop. In post processing, you can choose how much you can crop (or go tighter on image, or zoom with the pixels). You can always crop in post, right ? I know the APS-C mode has almost 100% coverage as far as focus points go, but if you shoot stills, or keep your subject in the middle of the frame, there is no difference. I am still confused why people keep mentioning the 26 megapixel in crop mode of the new A7R4, and why would you use it (apart from, of course the use of a crop factor lens).
