No problem, glad to hear this helped. Good luck with your channel!

Agreed! Even given the known flaws, it's a steal of a lens overall.

No problem! It could be the MP difference between the cameras and resources needed to decompress, e.g. 33MP with the a7 IV, vs. 61MP with the a7C R (and a7R V, etc.).

@@andrewsaraceni Thanks!!

Yes this is possible - I'd still go with manual exposure, and aiming for +1 to +2 EV. You'd just need to consider where the scene starts and ends if shooting a sunset or sunrise exposure-wise. e.g. Start higher but not clipping highlights, and ending before it's too low (i.e. before below 0.0 EV).

It's this one: www.a-mode.hk/pelican1560-lid-organizer-lid1560a

😀Thanks, I appreciate it!

You're referring to the newer 50mm f/1.4 GM? I had heard optical, AF, etc. performance was similar, with the difference mainly being size, weight and cost. Haven't tried the Voigtlander, though I'd be curious to.

@@andrewsaraceni Yes the new Sony 50mm 1,4 GM Lens as I wrote, it performs better in optical image quality than the 50 1.2 GM, so there is also a lot of money to save. The Voigtländer is much more compact and cheaper, but built like a tank, so it will last much longer than GM Lenses.

Pricey, but you do get what you pay for. Nanuk is similar price-wise.

The challenge with that is other OS's wont be able to decrypt it without using third-party software (e.g. TrueCrypt) that works on Mac, Windows, etc. So technically "yes", but not without some challenges and additional legwork.

Thanks Edward, glad you found it helpful!

No problem, and welcome to the Sony family! The a7 III is still a fantastic camera today.

I'd try different power sources with the light if you can, and see if the BT Reset behaves differently in any of those situations. Surprised (and sorry to hear) that this is still an issue folks are dealing with.

No problem!

Thanks! Yes you can set this via Shooting > Shooting Mode > Memory/Recall Media in the menu.

It's a long video - lots of words to utilize. 😉

No problem, Ignacio - glad you found it helpful!

Good to note!

No problem, glad you liked it!

I hit erase and it failed

@@hemakingbigmoves Again, it's difficult to troubleshoot over YT comments without seeing what you're doing. Reach out to me and we can discuss a consultation if you're interested

All drives are compatible once you format them. But yes, some out of the box "Mac" ones might let you skip some steps in formatting and using them

Thanks!

Thanks! Something to consider for the next one (it's a lot to go through).

Great question - I have a video coming up soon comparing many of Manfrotto's fluid heads. They're both solid options though for their price point.

No problem! You'll need an SSD to record from the Ninja, the memory card slot on it is used for adding LUTs, etc. You'd want to initiate recording on the Ninja itself so that the camera doesn't raise an error when triggering recording since there's no memory card in the camera body.

@ thanks for responding. I do have 1 tb ssd on ninja. When I click the red button it’s recording the screen. Could you please tell me which button to record?

@@redefinedevents6622 That sounds right - you're recording the output of your camera (i.e. what's showing on the Ninja's screen) from it directly. The Ninja doesn't have a dedicated record button otherwise, but there are setups where you can set the camera Rec button to control the Ninja.

@@andrewsaraceni I agree, but I see shutter speed, ISO and all the other camera info and even the aspect ratio with the black sides too, But how can I get the output recording as it would do to the sd card?

@@redefinedevents6622 Check my camera settings video around 1:07:00 - you'll need to turn off HDMI Info Display to get just a clean image feed: ruclips.net/video/I2Nlp2J2Whc/видео.html

You could still try following the same procedure in the video, if Disk Utility lets you.

@@andrewsaraceni now its saying Uninitialized

@@hemakingbigmoves That's good! That's the same state mine was in the video, so you can just start at 1:12 and go from there.

@@andrewsaraceni now its saying APFS Volume • APFS

@@andrewsaraceni when I go to erase only name and format pops up the scheme is not there for mines

Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the sub! On a few occasions I have, but not regularly - usually lots of other gigs (e.g. weddings, concerts, corporate/commercial, real estate).

It all depends by how much you do it, and ensuring your highlights aren't clipped/compromised. But that's true regardless with shooting Log.

That's a good point - definitely fine for average usage (e.g. walking), but anything more intense I'd use a secure mount.

Good to know, I'd definitely recommend the Power Module for anyone doing 4K 60p or 120p. I use it even in most cases filming 4K 24p.

Mine both have a "Made in the USA" sticker, but they may handle manufacturing differently for some cases/markets.

No problem, Rusty!

Are you on the Erase step, and you've selected the right device? It should be an option, but it's possible you might not have the option if you're coming from an older Mac that's been upgraded over time (i.e. that's still using Mac OS Extended).

haha. Good ear, you got me there - born and raised Philly / South Jersey native. There's no place like home. 😀

I use S-Cinetone for shooting most things, which is why it's set to that. But yes, you can shoot timelapses in S&Q mode in any of the PPs, S-Log3 included.

Thanks ​@@andrewsaraceni

Haven't gotten to try it yet, but Id be curious to test it out.

Yes boss!

That's fair, though I wonder how many people outside of us photo/video folks actually would recognize that.

No problem Michaela, I appreciate that!

Not uncommon considering f/0.95, but it isn't an issue around f/1.4 and above.

@@andrewsaraceni True. The only F/0.95 lens I had from ZhongYi had strange flare instead, as well as, not being usably sharp at maximum aperture. I gotta think a while before buying.

No problem, and happy to hear that this helped you! Tech people explaining things to less/non-technical audiences is always a challenge, so I'm glad that this was easy enough to follow along.

@@andrewsaraceni Here's an update. My external 14TB drive was overflowing with, as it turns out, render files from all my projects from the last few years. I need to keep these projects for a variety of reasons as they are not for outside clients. So I went through the entire drive and deleted all the render files. The drive went from full capacity to only 500GB (that's only 3.5% of the storage space). Another bonus is the small amount of space used will allow me to move these files to my other external drive which backs up to the cloud and the drive I back up monthly to a spare. Thanks again.

No problem, glad you found it helpful!

Agreed! It's not declickable, but it's pretty quiet so you can do seamless transitions for video.

Yeah, good point, or any crowd movement really - I've had the same thing happen filming dancing footage on sticks, etc.

That was my reaction too. 🙂

Any reason why? Have you had issues?

@@andrewsaraceni After a few uses, one battery died suddenly, and the other battery heats up in the middle and discharges itself after a day, outside the camera. Charging with an original Sony charger when the batteries are cold. The camera is a9iii. Advantage: Their working time is the same as the original Sony. Those who are enthusiastic about the cheap will end up paying dearly...

@@shtrudel-pu1cm Interesting, I haven't had that happen with mine. They weren't stored in any extreme temperatures, were they? Might've just gotten a bad batch.

@@andrewsaraceni No, I don't take pictures outside the building. The temperatures are not extreme. I bought 2, 2 were destroyed.. I don't think it's a matter of luck.

Thanks! It wont fit from the rear, but you can get to the Rec button with more room from the front. I use my index finger to control the button that way, but you could also program the Shutter button, etc. to control recording if needed.

No problem, and thanks for the sub!

Thanks Nikhil!

It only has an integrated mic and no input, so you can't plug an external mic or lav into it.
