How Shutr Scout tailors settings to your Alpha A7C

  • Because the Alpha A7C has a full-frame sensor, so there is no crop factor and you get the shallowest depth of field at any given aperture, Shutr Scout factors that into depth-of-field guidance and how it balances aperture against shutter and ISO.
  • With in-body stabilization, Shutr Scout can suggest slower hand-held shutter speeds when you want them, so you keep ISO down in low light.
  • Its autofocus is eye detection for people, dependable for portraits and slower action, so Shutr Scout uses the right focus mode and area for what you are shooting.
  • It knows the body's native ISO ceiling (51,200) and fastest shutter (1/8000s), so it never recommends a setting your Alpha A7C cannot actually use.
  • For video, it accounts for the Alpha A7C's frame-rate limits (4K up to 30fps, 1080p up to 120fps) before applying the shutter rule for natural motion.
