Expand Your Range
Sony a7-series cameras have about 14 stops of dynamic range. While you may not see that in a straight capture, there’s a lot of detail hiding in the shadows of your Sony RAW files when you need it (Figure 8.20).
Figure 8.20 This backlit shot of Christ the Redeemer in Rio has detail in the shadows that can easily be recovered in Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, or Capture One.
ISO 100 • 1/1000 sec. • f/5 • 70–400mm lens at 210mm
