Thanks Kraig, very helpful! I hope you can make a separate video about settings for the NEX-5R (and 5T) because it has a somewhat different button/dial layout.
I love your yt channel to the point I bought the NEX 5T last December 2023 and I love it. I am now aiming for a good lens that I can attach to my camera.
Finally something cheap. Hope I will not miss the viewfinder too much. I'm getting my nex5 tommorow. Got it for 124USD with a kit lens 18-55. I was hunting for lx100 or other Panasonic as my main camera is fz1000 (it will still stay for animals and planes), but the prices were too high.
@@kraigpruettthis might be sacralidge, but I have some old canon lenses around the house from family members. All I need is my adaptor to come and I should be set 😂 Just wish there was a small rig cage for it as my hands are a little large
Can you pleease do a video on how you did such greats video shot with the next 5R i think it was upscale to 4k and i would want to know how you did that
Thank you SO much ! i got the NEX 6 because of your video. Do all the settings you mention here apply to the NEX 6 as well? Or is it something that you would change with a NEX 6?
I'm trying to shoot with the aperture and shutter speed manually set while keeping the ISO on auto, is that possible? I can't seem to figure out how. Edit: I'm using the 5R
Had this model since on sale but it's not working properly now. After turn on it shows "camera error". Mine is already v.5 firmware and don't know how to solve this issue. And when it works without "camera error" on screen and when press shutter button, it's always turned black screen with very loud shutter sound and freezed.
That’s super cheap for a lens. I would check out the Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 lens. It’s very good for the money, and has AF. It won’t be great for getting tight shots of sports, but would be great for street photography. I have a full review in my channel here: ruclips.net/video/9MokfD40F2M/видео.htmlsi=yil5DcfUsz-1eYR0
I am impressed with your speed of speech while giving a lesson. You know this is ridiculous. WATCH YOUR OWN VIDEO AND SEE IF THIS MAKES SENSE TO A BEGINNER.

I'm getting my nex 3n tomorrow so this is very helpful
That is one of my favorite NEX cameras. You will love it!

Love to hear that! I would check out this lens buying guide that I created here: ruclips.net/video/q7sL6UKyDrA/видео.htmlsi=06bHwOLVRJ0J5X0M

Nice information kraig,love it❤
Happy to help!!!
Thank you for this recently bought the NEX 5 this is very helpful
I’m so glad I never got rid of mines!
Great Video Kraig! Can you give me some quick settings tips for shooting inside a home for real estate pics with NEX 5r with SEL1855 lens?
I’ve just picked up my Nexus-6 super exited!
Learning curve though
You’ll love it!

Kraig, I have the Sony NEX 5 and today I found out that the tilting screen can be adjusted. It can be tilted down for a top down view.
Just done firmware update from v1 to v5 without a problem on windows 11
Can you pleease do a video on how you did such greats video shot with the next 5R i think it was upscale to 4k and i would want to know how you did that
Tnx bro❤

very helpful. thank you.
Happy to help!!
Just got mine today
me too i just got it
Bro, can I use this as a webcam for my livestream?
i just bought one of these. i think it might need a little TLC. do camera shops service these at all?
Hello, one question, would it be a good solution for photographing real estate? I usually use a borrowed camera and do HDR photography bracketed .
what about best settings for A6000? i'd like to know more about it! 😄
I will see if I can make a similar video for that!
nice! You make me want to buy it~~
Thank you
is there a way to use the camera vertically? without having to orient all the photos after taking them
What settings best for night mode? Capturing stars?
Hi Kraig, great Video. Question, when I shoot videos in AVCHD the file will not download to my phone
I’d guess you’d need to go to PC/Mac first
Is there much difference between the Nex 5 and the Nex 5n
Can you make proper video on Sony a6100 and 6400
I will try. My next phase of videos I hope to review all of the A6000 series of cameras.
What about nex 7? Does it has the same features?
I'm trying to shoot with the aperture and shutter speed manually set while keeping the ISO on auto, is that possible? I can't seem to figure out how.
Edit: I'm using the 5R
It's a good camera, started with this many years ago. But wow it has some overheating issues when doing video.
Yeah I never use the NEX-5 for video haha
Do you have a video for the best settings for sports photograph with the nex-5?
No... because I would never use this camera for action photography. Too slow of AF and continuous shooting speeds.
@@kraigpruett ok thanks... I'm getting some shots with the action mode and the 55-210 lens. This is the only camera I've got.
@@craigrocksitif you can buy for cheap an LEA2 or 4 and some old Sony/Minolta lens, the adapter give Phase AF on the body, and it's amazing
@@craigrocksit 1/500 - 1/4000 I f5.6 / f8 I iso (variable)
can i use sony nex 5 fro streaming?
do you have any idea why my steadyshot wont let me use it?
weird. I don't have any soft key settings in my setup menu
Update your firmware :)
@@BishopWhite95 Yeah, I figured it out later, I had the earliest version
can I install firmware 05 on my nex-5n?
Had this model since on sale but it's not working properly now. After turn on it shows "camera error". Mine is already v.5 firmware and don't know how to solve this issue. And when it works without "camera error" on screen and when press shutter button, it's always turned black screen with very loud shutter sound and freezed.
Probably a bad shutter. If the camera can record videos no issue but can’t take a photo it’s probably a bad shutter.
@@kraigpruett Ah yes, you're right. Video recording works fine. By the way, thanks so much for the reply.
any recommendation for cheap($150usd below) good lens for sports/street photography?
That’s super cheap for a lens. I would check out the Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 lens. It’s very good for the money, and has AF. It won’t be great for getting tight shots of sports, but would be great for street photography. I have a full review in my channel here: ruclips.net/video/9MokfD40F2M/видео.htmlsi=yil5DcfUsz-1eYR0
hi, i was wondering why my bottom button which is supposed to be for iso is for shoot tips?
Go to Setup -> Soft Key B setting -> change from "Shoot Tips" to "ISO". If that doesn't work make sure you are shooting in manual mode.
@@kraigpruetti tried it, there is no soft b setting for it :(, and im on manual mode
For some reason i do not have acces to most of these options, everything is locked
Br cadê vocês?🇧🇷
Way too fast to keep up with the instructions 😅😅
Slow it down if you want attendance!
I don’t care if you want everyone to know that you are smart
I am impressed with your speed of speech while giving a lesson. You know this is ridiculous. WATCH YOUR OWN VIDEO AND SEE IF THIS MAKES SENSE TO A BEGINNER.
😂LOL. Everybody knows that you can control the speed of the video by clicking on the 'Playback speed' and set it to 0.75 😂
