Came across this thru a search and Jay, you are a savior! I've been doing videography and when it came to photography (real estate to be specific), I always went for the one shot and color correct it. Now I got a crash course on how to HDR thanks to you and awesome to see the settings made for the A7C. Hopefully you have an updated video when the A74 comes out. Thanks again!!! Subscribed!

Thank you, you're the best man ! Always clear and simple to follow !

Excellent video. Thanks for such a detailed overview of the process. Loved your photos. Keep sharing :)

It was very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Thanks man

I love Jay 😍

Love your tutorial here. I come back and watch it occasionally and always learn more things about the A7c. Tonight I feel I have finally become super confident about my HDR images for the best possible results.

HI Jay, many many thanks for all these tutorials. I am just back into photography as a retirement hobby in 2022 with a new Sony a6400 . major learning curve after film many many years ago and a deliberate challenge choosing this camera to test and exercise my brain. I saw many many folks moaning about Sony menus and took this as a challenge. I am constantly watching your videos , not just for the a6400 but many other Sony cameras to pick up more and more info. just watching your HDR /A7C tutorial and learning lots.! many thanks, keep up the great and much appreciated tutorials. best regards.

Great explanation into hdr & camera settings. I've been doing real estate photography flash/ambient blend since 2015 but struggled with hdr, everything just to over baked no matter what I did. First I purchase Photomatix then Aurora and still images were terrible. Maybe I'll try one last time with this software. Love your videos Jay, really appreciate what you contribute.

Great job, very well! 👏

Which software u r using to make HDR

Jay, nice introduction to what can be accomplished when using HDR with the a7c. I now have some new things to consider when shooting moving water using HDR. Excellent suggestion about reviewing the images in the bracket set to be sure that the detail in the highlights and shadows is adequately captured by the exposure range of the set.

Yes, pretty much all the Sony cameras work the same way, but older models do not have the self timer with bracketing feature.

To do this faster, you can just hit left on the control wheel to get into drive mode instead of going into the menu.

Absolutely and you can also access the drive modes from the default function menu, but mine is modified, because I just press the button on the dial when I need it.

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed tutorial. Just what I needed to get started with my new a7c. How did you end up with the 25 second exposure time? Did it do that automatically with the settings you provided us with? When I take some pictures in the bracked mode they're all with fairly high shutterspeeds. Did I miss something here? Nonetheless the pictures are turning out amazing. Ps. I began with zero knowledge, this was really helpful!

Yes I am aware, thanks! I still don't though and have never had an issue, because the camera recognizes when on a tripod and does not engage the stabilization. Of course shutting it off would be best practice when using a tripod though, but with literally years of no issue I personally don't think it's necessary.

Is hdr efex pro much better than lightrooms bult in hdr merger?

@@Jason_Hermann yeah, I bought the suite, it's actually pretty nice. It's weird that your have them as seperate links. I thought those were $100 seperately at which point I was thinking the HDR Efex wouldn't be worth it. One thing I did notice about the HDR Efex is that its doesn't seem to like to merge more than 3 images. That's annoying because I had gotten used to combining 9 images when I was bracket shooting. I guess I could just change the setting, but overall it is pretty nice. I'm going to experiment with some of the other programs and see what I can create.

hey! great video :) but can we shoot videos in 4K HDR?

@Jason_Hermann

3 жыл бұрын

Well the camera has the HLG profile which is sort of HDR video, but you need to grade the video in post processing after the fact.

Can the ZV-E10 combine multiple shots similar to this while shooting in jpg and not post processing on the computer? I think in the beginner guide you showed how the camera can take 3 or 5 pictures and it processes “in-camera” … would I set to iso priority, do I do bracketing, what would I want my settings to be? or do you recommend I just work with the styles like portrait or landscape as a beginner?

@@Jason_Hermann thanks so much! You’ve really taught me a lot in just a few videos!

With the Sony a7c with "proxy recording" video capabilities, is there any advantage/disadvantage to using the "proxy" recorded video for film/video projects? I see the proxy videos are about 1/3 or 1/4 the size of the regular videos. Is there any quality loss or degradation?

@Jason_Hermann

3 жыл бұрын

Proxy recording is a tool to help speed up your workflow in post processing. It's just a lower quality/ lower resolution version of your main video. Therefore, editing is way faster on older computers when using there "proxy". However, when the video is rendered for output, it will use the "real" video footage and give you that 4k quality. You can also create proxy media in post processing software for the same purpose, but that is time consuming which is why Sony offers it on the camera. With all that being said, no you don't want to use the proxy video for you actual footage, because it's lower quality and resolution.
