    Can you shoot 30p/60p in PAL region and change shutter speed so there is no flicker?

    Color profiles. Pictures always look always warm in every auto setting. Doesn't matter what WB setting I use. And when it has flash on, it turns blue.

    Hi Arron, I was hoping you could help me for a second. I've just picked up the a5100 today, and I've been watching a few of your videos to get to grips with the settings. One thing I am struggling with though is the auto focus. It keeps pulsating when recording an a-roll video. What is the best focus mode to use when recording a-roll talking head footage? Also, what is the best focus area to use to keep my head in focus without it pulsing? I would hugely appreciate your help! Thanks, Kieron

    Hi, I would have though either AF-A or AF-C should focus quickly enough while using the self timer. Perhaps set it to 10 second timer to allow the camera a little longer to autofocus. Hope this helps!

    If you're using the a5100 you can use the W-T rocker (its next to the shutter button) this will zoom in on your photos that you've already taken.

    Hi Aaron, For some reason my Sony keeps focusing in and out. Im just filming a talking head video, much like the video you have here, but every time I move, my camera goes in and out of focus. Do you know why that may be and the settings I can change so that goes away? Its terribly distracting for the viewer!

    Hi Erika, Can I ask what focus mode you are using? Try and use either AF-A or AF-C if you can. Also Id set your Focus Area to 'Wide' and perhaps try changing your AF drive speed to 'Fast', this tells the camera to autofocus quicker. Hope these help!
