Jay, seriously, thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. I work part-time in my local camera shop and I always tell my customers to watch your, and Mark Galer's, Sony tutorial videos. In my opinion, it's the best knowledge and reference source for them as first-time Sony shooters. Your explanations are clear, concise, and easy to follow. This helps to ease the anxiety of navigating those Sony menus we know and love so much, lol. I also use your videos as a "brush up" reference guide for myself every so often. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching and sharing, your future videos.

@@senndyjules Aperture priority is what I would use and recommend and put the lens at f/1.4 for maximum background blur. Take note of what the shutter speed is coming up as when you do this. It should about double your frame rate you are recording at. So if recording at 4k/24p for example, you want your shutter speed to be 1/50sec ideally, but that is not mandatory.

I saw this video and i subscribed to your channel instantly, thank you for explaining this pretty well and showing all in detail, great video! I often film at parties at low light with lightning effects (with the sigma 16mm F1.4 and 30mm F1.4), any suggestions because a lot of others say to adjust the shutter to the FPS (double). At this point i often use Program Auto and Aperture Priority and stayed away from Manual Mode what gives me nice sharp results because lights change fast at parties, i do limit the ISO, do you think using a steady shutter speed would result in better quality or should i keep auto modes because these conditions?

Hi Jason, thanks for this great video. I've been following the instructions right from the "How to use the camera" video however on the "Aperture priority" segment from about 6:00 mark where you had the aperture at f22. I tried to get my shutter speed at 1.3 also but the number keeps fluctuating on its own. I am not sure if its from the setting and how do I fix it. I am also in Aperture priority mode in the shoot mode setting so not sure what's wrong.

Hello, If you have the ISO hard set to a number the "auto exposure" will use the shutter speed to maintain. Auto ISO will use a combo of shutter and ISO to maintain the exposure. So it is normal the see the shutter number change a little bit, especially if the lighting is changing in front of the camera a lot. In full manual mode this will not happen... Happy New Year!

@Jason_Hermann

Жыл бұрын

I would recommend using the camera in Av mode mostly so you have control over the depth of field, and I would leave the ISO in Auto for the most part. Then all you have to worry about is wether or not you want the background blurry pretty much if focusing on something fairly close or taking a portrait for example. When in doubt put the camera in full Auto or P mode which is full auto with the ability to change a few things. You can also use Scene mode and select what you are shooting as well... I would not shoot in full manual mode if walking the streets of Philly. It will just take too much time and take you out of the moment possible depending on what your traveling to Philly for. When you have unlimited time I would play with Manual mode and practice. I only use manual mode when in my studio, because I need to adjust the camera for Off Camera Lighting and what not. Outside I almost always use Av mode w/ Auto ISO myself because it's just easier 90% of the time and still gets the desired results which is all that really matters... I hope that helps and be safe out there 👊

Is there a way to change the aperture in the intelligent auto mode? Seems to be perfect with lighting in this mode but can't find a way to change the aperture as it only focuses on things really close to the lense.

Thanks for this detailed video 👍 Quick note ☝️, because I couldn’t see bulb when I was scrolling down past 30sec with my Shutter Speed: Drive mode has to be switched to single shot. Not timer or continuous shooting (I already had done this) But a sneaky one is, Auto HDR has to be switched off (that’s what prevented me from seeing BULB) And the manual also says - Picture Effect can’t be HDR or Rich Tone - no Silent Shooting
