Personalised guidance to get the most out of your Sony A1M2 camera

About the event

Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Luke Tscharke for a personalised 1:1 online workshop designed to help you get the most out of your Sony Alpha 1 Mark II. Whether you're brand new to photography or looking to sharpen your skills, this session is fully tailored to your needs and goals.

I can help you optimise your A1M2 with custom button configurations, pre-capture settings, and Speed Boost modes that make a game-changing difference to your photography workflow without constant menu diving. My guidance covers specialised setups for tracking fast-moving subjects, strategic use of subject detection autofocus, rapid switching between different focusing modes, and camera customisation to deliver optimal results tailored precisely to your shooting style and specific scenarios.

This 90-minute workshop runs via Zoom and includes a recorded copy of the session for your personal use, along with detailed post-session notes to reinforce your learning. We'll focus on everything from setup and autofocus to advanced shooting techniques, depending on your interest and experience level.

What's Included

  • 90-minute private workshop via Zoom
  • Tailored instruction based on your experience and goals
  • Session recording provided to review later
  • Detailed post-session summary and suggested next steps

Who This Is For

  • New Sony Alpha 1 Mark II owners looking for hands-on guidance
  • Photographers transitioning from other systems
  • Anyone wanting to fast-track their understanding of the A1M2's features
  • Those who prefer 1:1 learning to generic tutorials

How It Works

Once you book, you'll receive a pre-session form to help us hit the ground running. On the day, we'll meet via Zoom for a relaxed but focused session where we'll work through your goals, camera functions, and any questions you have. Afterward, I'll send you a recording of the session and detailed notes for ongoing learning.
