I really appreciate you explaining - after your research - how clear image zoom works
I’ve watched about five other videos on it, and * nobody else explained that.
Kudos ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I’ve decided I’m getting the Sony a7iv for my unboxing videos and live streams. I’m just still trying to decide on the lens.
I’m upgrading from my iPhone which is probably around a 24mm. My table is only one size so I’m gonna need to keep around that same focal length. I’m considering the Sigma 16-28 so I can dial it perfect to my table. But Sony 20mm G just looks so good. Sharper and the autofocus seems faster. I was thinking I could just get the Sony and use clear image zoom to get to 24-28mm.
But then now I’ve seen examples of clear image zoom and you can see that it introduced noise and blur. Not too different from zooming in in post. Actually more noise but less blur than post.
So now I’m stuck on what to do. With Sigma, you’re starting with a less sharp image, but zooming organically. With Sony 20mm, you start with sharpness, but introduce blue by cropping in. So maybe it evens out the same? Not to mention if it’s 20mm you’re still just cropping in on that distorted wide image rather than actually bringing it in to a 24-28.
So damn I’m still not sure. The Sony just wows me though when you see it at 20mm. The Sigma works but never makes me say DAMN. But once I use clear image zoom, idk. I might be messing with my shot. Especially since it’ll be on that setting permanently. I’m looking for a permanent solution. Vs your use case where you seem to be at an event or something and just need it sometimes.
Look at the sigma 14-24
I take quite a lot of bird photos and I've always got it in clear image zoom because birds are mostly far away and find in the right light gives really good quality photos, i often when shooting at 20 mp flick it to 10mp and it gives you 1680mm reach and you cannot in a lot of cases see any different with quality.
feel free to use it but for me i just feel restricted by it and remember when in the 10mp its just cropping but with the new adobe super resolution its miles better.
For video..I use a Sigma 16 f1.4 as Zoom 16-32 or “24-50”
nice
great photos! congrats!
thankyou so much
Am I correct in thinking you can’t use the feature in RAW setting 🤔
correct. but brilliant in video for extra reach
Since clear image zoom doesn't alter the optics, can't you just spot focus at the top of the optical zoom range, switch to manual focus and then use CIZ to crop into the focused image?
Depends if you want the hassle and by the time you have down that the moment is gone
@@sjm.photos Agreed, not for birds in flight, but anytime you are using a tripod, it seems like it could be a viable solution.
Can't you set a custom button to toggle manual focus on and off? That might make it somewhat more viable for moving targets.
@@frankvehafric5062 yep use it all the time but why would you bother when you get better quality in post processing
Manual focus has limited application. The Miv can do the job faster and more accurately in most situations.
@@simmo303 yer its a fly by wire but its just a shame in the clear image zoom it doesnt show any focus points so you dont quiite have the useability that it has when at 600mm one reason i dont use it. and now with adobe super resolution its walks all over the clear image zoom for quality anyway so
Left after 30 seconds. I highly recommend a tripod.
BYE BYE 😂
Have you tried DxO PhotoLab 4 for RAW to jpg?
i have not no but if they do a trial i might see but as i have most of what i need on the programs i already use
@@sjm.photos 30 days, if I remember correctly.
@@simmo303 cool i will check it out
Yeah I’m with you. I’m not using it. I thought the logical way would just to go into APSC mode or something similar. Not this crap.
If you run your video through Mercalli 4,it will eliminate most of the shaking.
the shaking you are seeing is not from the rx10iv its my sunglasses camera and due to my head movements being quite erratic its quite hard to sort out without cropping to much using premiere pro
@@sjm.photos Mercalli 4 works on the file, does not matter how it was recorded. Other shake removal programs are available but that is the only one I have.
@@simmo303 yes but to stabilise it needs to crop in some what to counteract the movement
@@sjm.photos Try it and see if you an tell. Vast improvement in viewing.
I found clear image zoom is great for 4K video. I don't use it for stills or HD video.
yes i use clear image zoom on video all the time
only reason why i don't use it can't shoot raw :(
i now use the enhance if i need it in photoshop raw giving 80mp images from it
I don't find your explanation accurate at all actually. First, you don't own a telephoto camera with the Sony RX10M4. You can't evaluate a capability or setting of a camera in such a way... I also find that you ramble a bit to much in your videos. I wish you could drop some of the rambling.
@@MarkD-n-JapanPanasonicBridge lol ok what ever you think 🤣😂
Talk slower please!
Please talk a little slower!
