WHen you turn on the background defocus, they have a suggest object distance, follow the instruction. And the suggest distance changes when you zoom in/out.
This is new of TX100v compare with TX9, but this definitely improve the de-focus recognition (TX9 has so many bugs)
Gisolury, Thanks for your advance on using Defocus, however, still find it a bit hard to catch the 30 cm, 70 cm or 1 meter in real life. Sometimes i took pictures from the same distance and i pic said could not perform defocus whilst the other one was ok. Anyway, it is getting better now after some practice.
$2700 (over 10% discount) for a camera just launch is really a good deal. I got the pre-order package:
$3340
TX100v 3 batteries (1 original, + 2 extra) (and I want to sell 1 seems 3 is too much) Sony HDMI Type C cable for the camera Sony Carrying case (color matches with the camera) 8G SD card
I guess you can get more with your $640 savings
BTW, does your store comes with the screen protector that fit TX100v (cover the dark part outside the screen?)
Agree that even I place the object away from distance recommended by the camera, the defocus doesn't always work. But I think the de-focus process for TX100v is a lot better than TX9 already (TX9 always mis-calculate to make certain part of object blur, while the background is sharp)
