Thanks Kraig, very helpful! I hope you can make a separate video about settings for the NEX-5R (and 5T) because it has a somewhat different button/dial layout.
I love your yt channel to the point I bought the NEX 5T last December 2023 and I love it. I am now aiming for a good lens that I can attach to my camera.

@@kraigpruettthis might be sacralidge, but I have some old canon lenses around the house from family members. All I need is my adaptor to come and I should be set 😂 Just wish there was a small rig cage for it as my hands are a little large
Thank you SO much ! i got the NEX 6 because of your video. Do all the settings you mention here apply to the NEX 6 as well? Or is it something that you would change with a NEX 6?
Great Video Kraig! Can you give me some quick settings tips for shooting inside a home for real estate pics with NEX 5r with SEL1855 lens?
Just got mine today

Finally something cheap. Hope I will not miss the viewfinder too much. I'm getting my nex5 tommorow. Got it for 124USD with a kit lens 18-55. I was hunting for lx100 or other Panasonic as my main camera is fz1000 (it will still stay for animals and planes), but the prices were too high.
Can you pleease do a video on how you did such greats video shot with the next 5R i think it was upscale to 4k and i would want to know how you did that
Hello, one question, would it be a good solution for photographing real estate? I usually use a borrowed camera and do HDR photography bracketed .
What settings best for night mode? Capturing stars?
Hi Kraig, great Video. Question, when I shoot videos in AVCHD the file will not download to my phone

I’d guess you’d need to go to PC/Mac first
I am impressed with your speed of speech while giving a lesson. You know this is ridiculous. WATCH YOUR OWN VIDEO AND SEE IF THIS MAKES SENSE TO A BEGINNER.
I'm trying to shoot with the aperture and shutter speed manually set while keeping the ISO on auto, is that possible? I can't seem to figure out how. Edit: I'm using the 5R
what about best settings for A6000? i'd like to know more about it! 😄

Can you make proper video on Sony a6100 and 6400

I will try. My next phase of videos I hope to review all of the A6000 series of cameras.
hi, i was wondering why my bottom button which is supposed to be for iso is for shoot tips?

Go to Setup -> Soft Key B setting -> change from "Shoot Tips" to "ISO". If that doesn't work make sure you are shooting in manual mode.

That’s super cheap for a lens. I would check out the Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 lens. It’s very good for the money, and has AF. It won’t be great for getting tight shots of sports, but would be great for street photography. I have a full review in my channel here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4Gjzch9ZJOsYrA.htmlsi=yil5DcfUsz-1eYR0
It's a good camera, started with this many years ago. But wow it has some overheating issues when doing video.

No... because I would never use this camera for action photography. Too slow of AF and continuous shooting speeds.
