    At 6:58 I have my FINDER/MONITOR set to Viewfinder. This should be set to AUTO. Apologies for the mistake, I was working with a camera that had a broken monitor.

    QUESTION!! If I shoot primarily videos on my A7ii but occasionally take pictures. If I set my video settings to a certain frame and such will that affect my picture settings that I have set up?

      No that would not have an effect when taking photos

      Peaking settings may not be working because of a lens issue, it’s hard to say though. Maybe try disconnecting your lens and re attaching it? Wish I had better insight for this

  • @user-qm7nw7vd5s
    @user-qm7nw7vd5s 10 месяцев назад +2

    This might be helpful, except that you simply ignore many settings, as to why for example on page 3, I see you have your Pre-AF turned off (my default setting is on), but you don’t say why you turned yours off, you just skip to the next page. This is just one of many examples. So the video is not really that helpful. Somewhat helpful, but could have been a lot better.

    • @Zacharytm
      @Zacharytm  9 месяцев назад +4

      Generally I find that most of the settings I skip are user preference. My goal for this video was to show which settings will allow you to capture the best quality photos. Everything else can be played around with and chosen at the users preference.
