Sony a7R V Dual ISO EXPLAINED! Best Low Light Performance ISO Settings

Ғылым және технология

Sony cameras are known for being excellent in low light, and the a7R V is no exception to this. However, one of the primary reasons this is true is because cameras like the Sony a7R V contain a dual ISO system that allows the camera to produce a clean image at both a low/base ISO, and a high ISO value as well. And while this system operates similarly to other Sony cameras with similar dual ISO setups like the a7 IV, the a7S III/FX3 and more, the dual ISO values in the a7R V and the overall difference between these low and high values is completely different.
In this technical tutorial video, I'll go over how to find both the base ISO and high ISO values in the a7R V, showing two different ways you can determine the high ISO based on its low ISO value. We'll discuss what these values are for the most common/popular picture profiles such as S-Cinetone (PP11), S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine (PP8), and the Still/Photo gamma (PP2/Off), given the a7R V is a stills-oriented camera.
However, beyond the technical specifics of the dual ISO system, I'll also cover two important points that are vital to working with ISO in the a7R V. This includes the actual practical ISO values you can expect to get usable results with, even if not utilizing the base or high ISO. Additionally, this also includes other cameras in the Sony ecosystem that utilize this same dual ISO system such as the a6700, FX30, and the a7C R.

    Great video! Would setting up an auto iso limitation of 800-12800 work for PP8 as a way to hand over some exposure decisions to the camera, or would that cause a variable noise floor in post that would be a headache to deal with?

    Ok, interesting update. I did my own tests on the A7CR (I was assuming it would be the same a the A7R5, but my cleanest ISOs are 800 and 3200. I'm also curious about the dynamic range drop-off below base ISO 800. In the same way that 12800 can be "usable" in terms of noise, what would be "usable" in terms of picture quality and dynamic range below 800?

    @@mandobaron I would still want manual control of ISO and be inclined to stick to 800 and 2500, vs. an Auto ISO range, as your results/mileage may vary with in-between values depending on the shooting situation, lighting, etc.

    Great video Andrew! im planning on buying a new sony camera. I work with both video and photo and i'm struggling between the A7RV and the A7IV. I really want the A7RV but the only thing that is stopping me from making the decision is not knowing if it has the dual ISO 12800 on video mode. Something that i love of the A7IV and A7S3 its the exposure without noise that i can get with the 12800 ISO in PP8 slog3. Does the Sony A7RV has the same feature in video mode PP8 ISO12800? thx!!!

    How about shooting the night sky with A7RV? I had a lot of trouble trying to catch the Northern Lights on camera with A7RV, I'm not a pro, but I've got too much noise in it as I had to raise the ISO to very high values. Is there any tip or setting that may perform it better? I couldn't even remove to a fair level in post. :) Again, I'm not a pro, just knowing my camera better now.

    I always thought a lower ISO is always better. So you're saying it's better to use these base ISO values like 800 in SLog-3 instead of something like 100 even if there is plenty of light?

  • @andrewsaraceni

    @@andrewsaraceni Ok, thanks. So even in bright light, 800 should have lower noise than for example, 100. I never realized this but I'm not a professional photographer, not even an amateur photographer, just some idiot with a camera🙂 I'm going to be doing some storm chasing next month and this frequently puts you into low light conditions. I just got the A7RV but I also have an A7SIII so I'm thinking the best plan is to use the SIII for video and the RV for stills, both in SLog-3. I believe the SIII base ISO is 640 so I assume start with the 640 on SIII and 800 on the RV and move up the 3x+ when lower light requires it.
