For my birthday my husband bought me a new Sony Mirrorless camera. I was looking for something lightweight to use when I traveled. But I wanted the same capabilities of my Sony SLR. I had been hearing about the mirrorless cameras from fellow photographers and at a meeting last fall we had a speaker at our photo club that introduced us to mirrorless cameras and I was sold. A mirrorless camera combines the best of a DSLR(Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera and a lightweight compact body. It has the features of the DSLR without the mirrors which makes it a lightweight camera without sacrificing the quality.
Features of A6300
There are many features that I enjoy on the Sony A6300. Here are just a few of the ones that are important to me.- 100-25,600 ISO range allowing you to take great photos even in low light settings.
- 4D focus systems which quickly locks in on your subject, helping to take crisp clear photos.
- Continuous shooting at up to 11fps(frames per second)
- WiFi, NFC, QR codes for easy file transfer
- Tiltable 3inch LCD screen that tilts up or down for capturing high and low framing
- An eyepiece cup that helps me to see clearly what I am photographing.
- Settings that allow you to shoot in Auto, Scene, Full Manual and everything in between.
- Movies in 4K movie recording
Learning to Use A6300
I am finding the A6300 very easy to use. Most of the features are similar to my DSLR so the learning curve was very easy. My husband bought me two lenses to go with my new camera a wide angle 16-55 and a telephoto in the 55-210 range.
The photo below was taken during a cloudy day in a room with no lights turned on. I love the way the camera handles low light situations. For this photo I just set the camera to aperture priority F7.0 and shot away. The colors came out perfect with no adjustment needed.

On a recent trip to Florida, I was able to photograph birds at the pier with my new camera. In order to get some nice closeup shots I put on my 55-210 zoom lens. In this closeup of a brown colored pigeon I again used aperture priority and a F6.3 setting. I love the sharp photo, great colors and blurred background.
For photographs using my photography ball, I switched to a wider angle lens 16-55 mm. I again used aperture priority and was able to capture Jupiter lighthouse in my ball.
