Congrats! I just made the same exact upgrade :)

Driggsy is awesome as always , cool cam too

loved the video homie im very close to pullin the trigger on this upgrade thanks to your intel haha

I have an a5100 on order, unfortunately so does the site I ordered them from lol. Hopefully they get more in soon. I'm anxious to get it! I have the same current set up, Brio at 1080p 60.

Definitely upgrade your key lighting (the main lighting that goes on your face). Once you do that you'll get a better depth of field effect and more of a difference between you and the background. I'd look into the Elgato Key Light. Expensive for sure, but worth it.

Apparently, those cameras have skin smoothing which can be disabled with a small digital zoom hack.

The brio is running on some default automatic mode i guess? It’s white balance seems way off.

to get more depth of field use a telescopic lens. It will give you that blur effect that you really want.

Nice

so how do you turn off the sleep mode? please help i just got my very first camera also a5100

Where did you get that awesome lamp from??? The one with the pink light

Hey Driggsy, are you still using the a5100? I have one and plan on streaming soon, but I've heard that the camera will shut off after 30 mins, or whatever you have the "Pwr Save Start Time" set to. Have you noticed anything like this?

Hey Driggsy, I recently picked up the same camera. Im in the works of getting more and more equipment for it. My question is, is there a way to preview the 50fps that the camera supports? In recordings, I see that it works perfectly. But the preview when the camera is idling after a power-on is a low framerate. Is there a workaround? All help is appreciated! :)

@driggsy

Hi Zey! Are you using a Camlink or Elgato HD60S? I would recommend deactivating the source, and reactivating it. I noticed sometimes my preview is a little funky, but the stream is okay.

@ZeyRides

driggsy I actually managed to figure out the problem. I haven’t used a capture source yet, but I used a tv to simulate it. For the A5100, set the camera to NTSC, then select Movie mode, then manual exposure. Make sure you have your color settings set to your preference and make sure the frame rate is 60fps. I didn’t know it had to be in movie mode to output the 60fps. So I hope that helped anyone reading this

Have you found a way to turn off skin smoothing completely without pressing record on the camera?

I would definitely recommend buying the official one.

I hope that answers your question.

I also own the sony a5100 with a camlink. Do you now also suffer from the Soft Skin effect? I don't get it deleted in the HDMI output. if I just record then I will. I have already switched off face detection, but the problem remains. maybe you have some advice greetings Mike

Johnny9 the a5100 certainly has issues with overheating when recording directly to the camera. Luckily, using the camera to stream doesn’t require you to record - you simply record the output of the video. I’ve only had 2 occasions where it has overheated on me. Both were on very hot summer days. Other than that, it has been great!

White balance probably needs to be set, that's all. Usually, cameras ask you to hold a white piece of paper or cardboard in front of the camera while you set the manual white balance. Even better, a large white piece of poster board in your chair and zoom in to that. This will take into account the lighting at the place where you sit.
