At 6:58 I have my FINDER/MONITOR set to Viewfinder. This should be set to AUTO. Apologies for the mistake, I was working with a camera that had a broken monitor.

The fact that you uploaded this tutorial 7 months ago for old A7II model!! You are amazing

Omg after 2 years of shooting and always been confused on which settings to stick to! You changed my whole game with this video! I just took a photo after doing everything you listed and i could just CRY ❤THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Super video man. Thanks. The Sony a7ii still powerful in 2023

I just bought one early this morning! thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for your video! It is so helpful!

making me rethink upgrading my camera lol. had this camera for years and you just now made me realize how powerful this thing is with a few tweaks. thank you 🙏🏾

Thanks for keeping your talk simple and direct. I just switched to a mirrorless, starting with a Sony A7ii and your talk is exactly what I needed.

Thank you so much! I’ve been shooting with the Sony a7ii for several years but never quite understood how to adjust the settings to maximize quality. I just got back from shooting my niece’s graduation photos with your settings and it has been a game changer! 💯

You're welcome!

How do you get to to the wide focus area if it’s in manual focus? I’m sorry this is my first camera and I’m learning .

Face registration is good for wedding or event photography

Does this camera have the function to detect and track the eye?

What do you do if it doesn’t turn on at all. Just a black screen… and i just bought it yesterday. Only had the chance to use it for a few hrs at the gym.

How do you remove the black border when you are taking a photo?

well done

If I use manual model how can I use it

💯💕

QUESTION!! If I shoot primarily videos on my A7ii but occasionally take pictures. If I set my video settings to a certain frame and such will that affect my picture settings that I have set up?

@Zacharytm

No that would not have an effect when taking photos

Hello Zach I'm a poor guy with A6000 and I decided to sell my camera with the reason for upgrade, should I go for A7ii or A6400? I like photography more but some of my friend want me to make some video, so its kinda hard to decide

hey can you explain how to connect the sony a7ii with a mobile phone to use the mobile phone as an external monitor .

if you have an IPhone i think there are a couple of apps like Creators App, should work with Bluetooth but if you have an adroid (like myself) I don't think you can 😅

Your settings look different than mine on my camera. Perhaps I need to update or mine is updated?

I was going through these settings, and now my viewfinder is the only thing that displays. The digital screen no longer displays? Why is this?

How to change it now

Do you know why my peak settings would not be working?

@Zacharytm

22 сағат бұрын

Peaking settings may not be working because of a lens issue, it’s hard to say though. Maybe try disconnecting your lens and re attaching it? Wish I had better insight for this

Why does it zoom in when focusing took 150 night scape all blurry

This might be helpful, except that you simply ignore many settings, as to why for example on page 3, I see you have your Pre-AF turned off (my default setting is on), but you don’t say why you turned yours off, you just skip to the next page. This is just one of many examples. So the video is not really that helpful. Somewhat helpful, but could have been a lot better.

Generally I find that most of the settings I skip are user preference. My goal for this video was to show which settings will allow you to capture the best quality photos. Everything else can be played around with and chosen at the users preference.

Ambiguity is not an option! State the reasons pro & con according to subject matter, conditions & REASONS FOR PREFERENCES. Limbo is no way to exist on earth or beyond. BE SPECIFIC!!!!
