I was taking a pic of my other halves HX50 with it's newly purchased viewfinder when the camera switched off half way through the exposure.

I was indoors, ISO 100, F/22 and 25 seconds (I needed the depth of field)

Always wondered how they did that, now I know, dead chuffed !

Not so impressed with the noise though...

The odd bits of noise are just because it's an old camera taking the shot, my 350D. The Sony switched itself off due to not being used I think.

To Mods, not hot linking, it is my personal website.

Thanks for that. I assumed it was post processing, it's only when I took this shot I wondered whether they were all done in camera.

what did you pay for the EVF if you don't mind me asking

The Wex price, but Sony had £40 cashback and we had a gift voucher for Wex for Christmas.

It is too expensive, comes in a nice leather case though and fits lots of Sony cameras. It actually makes the camera usable in all lights now.

You could try one of the stick on anti glare screen covers, we thought about giving them a go.
