Ahem..... My Nikon Z9 has it and so has the Z8.
I know, that’s why me and a lot of other people thought Sony might put it in this firmware..

Following a discussion with Graham about how the photographic quality has improved over the last few years, I was moved to do a comparison. 

The moon was rising in front of our dining room window as we sat having an evening meal. As I apparently don’t chew my food as many times as I should ( according to senior management) I finished the first course before her. 

While twiddling my thumbs waiting for her to stop mastication, I grabbed the Sony A1 with 200-600mm lens plus 1.4x tc  and pointed it at said moon.  A couple of frames and back for desert……

Compared to my image of same moon 10 years ago using the Nikon D750…..

Ok there will be slight magnification differences both in capture and cropping that mean less than perfect comparison but the detail on the Sony is quite remarkable.

That is excellent - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get a half decent image of the moon - but I only have a 500mm, not 840!

I think also that light pollution plays its part, I guess it is pretty dark where you are.

Not really dark here these days as we are surrounded by new housing developments/access roads. We have a street light just outside our front door ( see my Jupiter Ascending photo) 

I think the key is to get it as soon as it rises. It always seems bigger and clearer just above the horizon this time of the year despite shooting through across earth atmospherics.

Wow, we got a patch of clear sky just now - tried the 80-400 VR and couldn't get a good clear image, so swapped to my ancient f8 500mm mirror lens and got this - full moon so lighting is flat - hand held but leant up against the scaffolding so almost steady. Fixed f8 so taken at 1/3200

That’s about the same as I got yesterday. As you say the light from the sun was being diffused so much it produced a flat image with no crater shadows.

i think your image is a good 1.5- 2 stops under exposed.  I was taking shots at f9 @1/250 and 800iso last night.

Photographing the moon should be around the same setting you would use if the same sunlight condition was illuminating anything, say a football, here on earth. Last nights exposure was down for me from the previous night which was f9 @ 1/160 and 400iso due to the hazy light.


I’ve just increased your exposure by 2 stops…..

I shot a group of images at different settings - the greater exposure ones seemed a bit washed out to me.
