My searches didn’t turn up anything on this, so I don’t think it’s an Alpha 1 problem because the images are sharp. I think it’s an operator problem getting used to how the mirrorless ecosystem works.
For those of you who are transplants from DSLRs, I’m used to the vibration reduction on the Nikons where whether using a Nikon lens or a Tamron 150-600 G2 at 600mm, when I press the shutter part way the vibration reduction engages and the image stabilizes. A LOT. There’s a sudden, visible stopping of the camera jittering and wobbling from me hand-holding the camera. The display is solid and visibly stable.
This doesn’t happen with the Alpha 1 and Sony 200-600. SteadyShot is ON, Steadyshot Stabilization is in Auto. The lens has Optical Steadyshot ON, and is in Mode 1.
I’m all over the place when hand-holding this thing, but no more than with the Nikon/Tamron combination, but unlike the Nikon, when I press the shutter part way it very SLIGHTLY reduces the camera movement in the EVF view, but nothing like what I’m used to with the DSLR. In Mode 2 or 3 it doesn’t seem to stabilize at all, but I’m mostly interested in Mode 1…
IT APPEARS TO BE WORKING because I have sharp hand-held images shot at 600mm and 1/200, and there’s no possible way I could hold the camera stable at that shutter speed. It just doesn’t look stable in the EVF.
Is this difference in visible stabilization in the EVF NORMAL for mirrorless cameras? Does the EVF just not reflect the stabilization engaging? Is there some setting I’m missing on the Alpha 1?
