Camera Test: Sony NEX-7 Interchangeable Lens Compact View this email online December 08, 2011 Breaking news from America's top photo magazines Camera Test: Sony NEX-7 ILC Sony seriously shakes up the camera game. Again Sony has a tendency to develop certain technologies, then apply them wherever it can—often to good effect. Last month, we saw the latest iteration of its transmissive mirror technology paired with a new 24.3MP CMOS sensor and a lovely OLED electronic viewfinder in the Alpha 77. Now Sony’s taken those two new features and paired them with a completely revamped NEX body for the most impressive ILC we’ve seen to date, the NEX-7 ($1,200, street, body only; $1,350 with 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 lens).

TECH SUPPORT Auto-Exposure in post? Q. I shoot weddings in RAW with a Canon EOS 7D and import my images to Adobe Lightroom 3. I developed a preset that solves most color temperature, saturation, fill, and highlight issues, but not exposure. Is there any program or preset that will batch-process dozens of images at once, bringing underexposed images up and taking overexposed images down to some standard exposure to have a consistent starting point? A. The closest you can get to making a preset for a standard exposure adjustment would be to use Lightroom's Auto Tone feature, whose purpose is to get to a basic, good exposure by adjusting exposure, highlight recovery, fill light, blacks, brightness, and contrast. To do this, make a copy of the preset you normally use, and check the Auto Tone box. That way these settings will be adjusted automatically, but white balance, clarity, tone curve, and other settings will be adjusted according to your usual preset. Do you have Tech Support Question?
