Stew Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well not a good experience/start of ownership of the Sony Nex-5N - I simply could not take pictures or record video and every time I turned on the camera I had to re-do the time and date.... Tried everything the manual said and ventured onto the problem page and went through all the steps etc and still the same problem. Anyway I was preparing myself to take the camera back to the shop this morning until I finally stumbled across this on google. someone describing the exact same problem http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read. ... tures&qf=m Cut along story short I hooked the camera upto the pc and instantly recognised the device, unplugged the camera from the PC and tried to take a picture and hey presto it works! Anyone else have this same issue with the NEX when tyou purchased yours? Apart from the initial frustrations the camera I think is going to do me proud, just need lots of practice Yes. Drove me bananas for an hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Nice pic of the moon, my next question is how do you take a good shot of the moon? I have tried this on many occasions but it just shows up as a bright dot! I'm definitely using the wrong settings, so which one should I use? You have to use M mode since the auto metering system always overexposes the moon. The exact setting depends on your lens, the light, and how still you can hold the camera. I used f 6.7, expo 1/100 sec, ISO 200 using a 300mm lens. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone using a Tripod for a Sony NEX-5N or can recommend a good one, planning on getting one but just doing a bit of research first. Steve. If your getting a tripod don't be cheap, go for a good make Manfrotto or similar. Costs from £120 > but its definatly worth it. A £30 tripod managed to dig a 0.5mm groove and rub off the serial number on my 450D due to poor construction and design of the mounting plate. Thankfully I only use that tripod may be twice, anymore than more it might have actually damaged the tripod mount on the camera I've now got a Manfrotto one with a pistol grip head which is fab, but have to say though, have only really used the tripod a few times, and mainly for group photos. Though the tripod only weight a few kilos I'm always too lazy to actually take it out of the house Instead I've upgraded to a 550D body to get better night shots, got to love been able to get decent shots at ISO3200 hand held exposures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
