Man just shot a wedding using your settings, I was amazed how much I can recover the colors.. Specially with shots inside the hotel where it is a bit in the yellow side.. Managed to fix it easily.. Thanks.. now I am bringing these settings to my a6500 and see how it goes..

Hello! How it went? Planning to buy a 7aII or 6400, for hybrid porpuses. What do you recommend?

Best video settings for this camera is 60fps and as second option 25fps depending your needs.I have set it to Neutral style with contrast -3 saturation -1 and sharpness -3 and I color grading in post.I never shooting above 640/800 iso.Above that range, noise levels (especially for the night shots) become annoying.I m always shooting in manual mode for both video and pictures because I' m using mostly vintage lenses.Generally speaking ,I am avoid to take night shoots because this camera is not ideal performer in low light but if I have to I m shooting with a 50 mm mc takumar at f1.4 or a similar nikon. You have to compromise a bit with frame to frame sharpness but you will be able to reduce iso levels.

Dude thanks for the tips! Those settings are dope. Can I ask do you shoot in 16:9 or 3:2 aspect ratio for talking head? It seems 3:2 gives better quality but isn't as wide. Cheers, mate!

Thank you man! Honestly I think that the video always switch into 16:9 aspect ratio🧐

Hey, thanks for the video! Just a question, with cine4 i can set the iso to a minimum of 400 instead of 200, which makes everything a bit bright. Any workaround around that one or how do you shot outside in the sun?

@MaikHansen

you could work with a ND-filter or otherwise go up with the shutter a little bit (you won't see a big difference) and sometimes I shoot with a higher f stop.

for real estate videography how about handheld videos - will enough built-in stabilization (in camera + kit lens = double stabilization?) or gimbal all the same necessary?

@MaikHansen

3 жыл бұрын

When I think of real estate videos I imagine a VERY clear and stabled footage - therefor I would go with a gimbal! But if you want to have the handheld look then you're fine without a gimbal 😅 You can check out my video: "Sony A7II - Low light test" to see how it looks handheld and my video "SONY A7ii x Zihyun WEEBILL s" to see the results with a gimbal 👍🏼

When shooting with Cine4 color profile, do you have to over or under expose your shot or should the light meter be at 0? I’ve heard some people say they like to over expose around .7-what do you think?

@@robhansen5830 Of course, but like S-log for example you must overexpose to get a usable profile. Since this comment, I have learned to overexpose Cine4 at .3-.5 during the daylight/sunny environment and .7-1.0 at night. That at least has worked for me.

The camera can shoot 60fps by changing the NTSC/PAL setting. Great content for beginners

Hey Claudia. There is no 4k on Sony 7ii Just 1080. It's good enough when you have a perfect light. It's just a image resolution, nothing to see with the lenses

So If I want a cinematic look like 24p but with some scenes In my film In slowmotion and some at normal speed like the 24 frames per sec how do I do that.. set my camera to 50p 1/100 and slow it down 50% for slowmotion and about 25% or something to look like 24 fps?? Becasue I want the film to be In 24fps as final.

then just film in 50fps and you can play back in real time (100%) and just the scenes for slow motion in 50%. Then just render the video as always and you are good! You won't see a big difference to 24fps

I have always hated auto focus. I used it for a few shots in 2000 with the Sony PDF150 DVCam and just hated it. I also hated the auto exposure... I like the find the correct settings, just set it and leave it. I would shoot concert videos with a pretty stable environment in manual mode. No bright to dark to focusing on the back of the stage to the front... in and out, in and out. You are going to be out of focus as much as you are in focus. It sucks. Think about the shot before you make it. That was then. Now, for photos I use a laptop with my Canon 2000D to get in there for a great focus setting. That is not video.
