A:AnswerISO works great at high levels ive shot with ISO8000 with barely some noise. Telephoto has a min shot distance of 3ft.
if you keep it around 50 - 100 you'll get a nice aperture.
A:AnswerI personally own the a5100 and I love it. The a6000 is a more up graded version. So if your not super into photography/videography and you need a smaller light weight camera I'd go with a5100. It's less expensive, it takes great picture and makes fine videos.
A:AnswerThese camera is about the same. the only difference is that the a1500 has no view finder and sometimes its kind of hard to see the screen when your in outdoor in the day. But the a5100 has a flip screen which is good for vlogging. The a6000 camera has a electronic viewfinder but without the flip screen. *a5100 has no input audio*
A:AnswerHi EJones, the camera does have soft skin effect for still image. The feature is built in the camera. Please follow the link for how to enable it : https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1430/v1/en/contents/TP0000226616.html?search=skin
A:AnswerHi, yes you can use different lenses on the Sony a5100. Please look for E-mount lenses for APS-C sensor cameras like the a5100. Follow the link for more info. https://www.sony.com/electronics/interchangeable-lens-camera-products/t/camera-lenses?cameramount=e-mount&sensor-lens=aps-c
A:AnswerHi Tanya05, Sony a5100 doesn't have any connections for external microphones and headphones. If you need a Mirrorless camera with external microphone connectivity, consider Sony Alpha a6100, a6400, or a6600.
A:AnswerHi McKenzie, the Sony a5100 does not have silent shutter and will always have sound when the shutter is activated. These models however do have silent shutter options : ILCE-6100 / 6300 / 6400 / 6500 / 6600 / 7M3 / 7RM2 / 7RM3 / 7RM4 / 7S, 7SM2 and ILCE-9 / 9M2.
A:AnswerHi, Curious! No. This camera does not support 4K resolution. You may check out the Sony ILCE-7RM4 instead. The a7RM4 can shoot 4K videos. -Vincent
A:AnswerYes, but it's largely dependant on the lens. There are several focus options available though. The auto-focus is one of the best in the industry, though it does require using the touchscreen to get specific in the frame.
