WOW WOW WOW!! The most amazing Master Class in advanced focus technique!! Thank you for the HOLD FOCUS TIP my friend!!!
(Had to disengage the video record function from my shutter button but WOW SO HANDY)
Hi Jac, I have Sony FX30, and I'm using AF, with Focus Mode - Continuous auto focus and AF transition speed and AF subj. shift sensitivity at 4, some how when I take moving shot, like move the camera in a diameter angle, most of the objects are a bit out of focus or a bit blurry or lack of clarity. I use aperture at 7 or 8, and wide angle, there is no person involved, but when I upload the video to computer, my eyes feel a bit unease, because Im not able to see many things properly or read properly, because it is either a bit blurry or not able to read it, and if car pass by, then it will not be clearly visible. Do you know if I need to make any further adjustment. Im using shutter speed double the size of frames per second, that is for 30 - 60 as shutter speed. please help
I really wish there was an option for Face Only AF, not just Face Priority. I really like when the focus holds when the subject leaves the frame. Great video btw!
I wonder what the best workaround for this would be. I have a button that switches from AF to MF, so perhaps that can be used as they are leaving and then turned back on when they re-enter? Perhaps we just max out the settings of subject tracking as well? Dunno.
Absolutely stunning short video, perfectly explained almost every basic things, with short and direct vide samples! :) I actually setting my new Sony FX30, and this is by far one of the best video for Sony AS i find:) without unnecessary sentences, off topics, etc. :) Great, thanks:)
Bravo on this video. I’ve been looking for this answer for a few years now. Now I can actually start utilizing my camera.
Wow Jacques this was probably the most informative video I've watched all year! Such great practical advice that I will surely be using in the field! Loving all the content. Keep inspiring us 💪😎
Aaaaah thanks Naeem, that really warms my heart! So grateful for your support, have an awesome holiday and happy shooting!
@@jacques_crafford مرحبا من افضل على اخر في تصوير الفيديو فيديو Sony a7iv & Sony a7siii
Thank you. This has been so far the best class to learn the autofocus feature in my Sony camera. God bless
The best video I have seen explaining AF for video on newer Sony cameras! This should be linked in the official camera manuals 😀
You are most kind! Thanks for your encouraging words!
couldnt have said it better! It's just spot on!
Hi Jaques,
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. A question about the hold focus feature: the seems SO useful, but I cannot figure out how to turn it on so that soft pressing my shutter during video mode activates the hold focus. How did you do this?? Thank you!!
One of the best AF tuts around! Helped me get up to speed with my new A7IV's AF setting really quickly! Thank you!!
So glad to hear that, thanks Arif hope you enjoy the new cam :)
One of the most detailed yet simplest videos, THANK YOU!
Glad to hear, thanks for watching! 🔥
Dude! This is one of the best vids I've seen on shooting video with Sony. Damn, I totally get it now, I was muddling through the settings not knowing how to get what i wanted. Thank you!
Yo Rick! Thanks man I'm so happy to hear that! Only a pleasure and thanks for supporting my channel!
So amped to see this level of content coming out of South Africa ! You just keep nailing the most important topics for us. Thanks china !
Thanks for this! Definitely needed this for solo work
Thank you so much for making this video, Jacques! We just picked up the a7iv and are making the transition from shooting with our Samsung S21 Ultra. We didn't find the Sony documentation (what little there was...) very helpful, but this is AMAZING! 👏👏👏
Oh wow, that's a huge compliment! Thanks, so glad I could help :)
I dont comment much but I love your videos mate! Actually the most useful ones and so well explained. Can't wait for more stuff like this. Every tip is usueful and to the point!

Thanks Patrick, that really means a lot to me! Let’s do this 🙌🏻
Real top proffessional tips!
This is an incredibly valuable video. I just ordered an A7IV, and discovered your channel looking for information on best practices and settings for the camera to have a starting point. This will be my first time using a Sony, so a lot to learn and was so excited to find your channel! Already subscribed and look forward to seeing more content like this as I continue to going through your previous videos.
Thanks Michael, so grateful for feedback like this! I think you're gonna love that camera! Hope you enjoy the videos to come :)
Jissie Jacques, you're killing it! Love the videos!
Lekker dude, thanks Gordon much appreciated!
Just got my FX30... your focus video helped me a lot. THX!
Yo congrats and thanks for letting me know. Really glad to hear that! 🙏🏼
OMGosh so great to have discovered your channel - no hype, just straight up information. Thankyou!!
You're most welcome, I hope to keep it that way!
Useful tips!
Jacques you are hands down my favorite creator on youtube. Your videos are so helpful!! Question - what is the best auto focus mode to use for multiple people in one shot? Just looking to keep everybody in focus and not one specific person with Eye AF. How should I go about this?
Thanx Jacques! This video is packed with great advise!
Yeeew thanks Riaan, so glad to hear that! Shot for the feedback!
Absolutely love those features on my A7S III! Nice and useful video!
Thanks Maxim, you are most kind!
Why have I just discovered you !!!
I wish I found you a year ago when I got my fx3 this is gold man thanks for the tips

Well, it is wonderful to have you here now. I appreciate that sub and support! 🙏
Really, really helpful, I am set up now. Thanks
This is the best tutorial video on a camera I've ever watched. wow. Keep it up man!
WOW that is a huge compliment. Thank you so much! 🔥
Such great pieces of advice! Thanks for walking us thru it :]
So glad you found it helpful, thanks Jordan!
Such a good video! A question, with a side by side interview, what is the relationship between focal length, aperture, and AF modes on the FX/3 FX/30? To keep both faces in focus? Thank you!
You just helped me with the autofocus tracking. Thanks!
Really glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know! 😊
Thanks for the video.
What AF setting were you using. What was the AF sensitivity and speed set to?
So thankful for your content!
This is what I needed to get to the next level.
Yay that's wonderful to hear, thanks for taking the time to comment!
Always enjoying your videos Jacques! Great quality :)
Thanks man, really appreciate the feedback!
What a great informative Video, a really simple but clear explanation on how to set up my Auto Focus on my A7S iii. Thank you ! I had been doing things wrong but couldn't work out what it was, now I know , so thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that, thanks for taking the time to write this Paul!
I went from the original a7s 1 + manual lenses + Ronin-S to the a7IV + autofocus 28-75 all-rounder with a RS3 and it's like another dimension. It's so easy now to take shots that before were basically impossible. I was almost crying of joy during my first job with the a7IV using the gimbal when I got the focus right at the first take lol
What an upgrade, I can only imagine! AF really changed the game!
Ultimate Sony autofocus guide! Great! Thx
Yaaaaaay, thanks for your support!
Excelente! Saludos desde Neuquén, Patagonia Argentina.
Thank you! Greetings from South Africa.🙏
By far the best channel to learn about cinematic content production, not RUclips Style videos, with hands on examples. Keep it up man 🔥🙌🙌🙌
That's a massive compliment, thanks man!!!
Fantastic, this is the exact video I have been looking for!! Thanks brother!
So glad to hear that! You're welcome brother!
You killed this video mate. Thank you.
Yeeew thanks so much!
Lekker one, thanks!
Yaas lekker man!
Yet another fantastic video, Jacques.
Yeeeew thanks bra, dankie vir jou lekker BTS
Top lad thank you
Brilliant. Thank you for this - very helpful to understand all the current Sony focus modes.
I'm SO glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback Morgan :)
Great video mate. Now I have to put it into practice. I'm curious about the side handle you are using on the Smallrig cage, what is it?
Good help as always!🐐
Only a pleasure, happy to hear you found it helpful!
I like your explanation not too rushed and very detailed
Yay glad to hear that. Thank you!
Incredible features and tutorial! Thank you
Yay thanks! You're welcome

So glad to hear that, thanks for your kind words!
Thanks!
Only a pleasure!
Just wooooow
Thank you!
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow thanks for the tips and I will definelty use autofocus on my A7IV more than I normally would.
You are most welcome! ☺️ Glad to hear it.
this has to be the best video out there on this topic
Gosh that's a big compliment, thank you!
Great vid as usual! Already subbed and learning lots. Much appreciate it! I had a question, whenever I’m filming 2 or more people my A7iv has a lot of difficulty keeping focus on all the individuals, people faces blur when they are in different distances from the camera. Is it increasing F-stop to get everyone into focus? This was driving me nuts. Thanks again!
Just close the aperture..
Wow! This is super helpful. Thank you Jacques. I am in the process of switching to Sony due to their incredibly accurate auto focus ability.
I'm soo happy to hear that thanks bro! Hope to share lots more with you thank you for supporting my channel!
So good!!
Thanks bro, cant wait to go on a mission with you!
Great Video. You just helped me up my Focusing skills.
That's fantastic news! 🔥🔥
Very helpful. I didn't know my camera could do that. I would love a video explaining SonyA7S3 filming features and the different effects of the variety of record settings and associated setting. How to receive the best results for slow motion.
Thank you so much for this well explained video.. It helped me alot learning how can we use autofocus in different scenarios ! Keep inspiring.
I'm so glad to hear that, you're welcome Aditya! Thanks for taking the time to comment
I watched several videos about the A7SIII's focus modes and this was by far the most enlightening.
Keep spreading your knowledge, we need people like you.
Thank you Jacques!
Many thanks brother. Love from India.
Thank you so much! 🔥
Wow, best Video in Sony AF, i Love Sonys Options.
Whoooohoooo, that makes me happy! Planning a whole lot more!
Best video I’ve seen on the subject. Thank you
So happy to hear, thanks for taking the time to write this!
Thank you for the video and sharing your knowledge Jacques! What is the extended handle you're using when focusing with the screen opened?
Thanks for this great vide
Had a couple of quick questions about Tracking mode. How is it enabled? And the same for Touch Tracking?
Great lesson Mate!! Thank you!
You're so welcome, thanks mate!
Super informative video, Jacques! Thanks for sharing with us.
So glad to hear that, thanks for your support Niklas!
Very informative video as always man! Keep them coming and enjoy shooting 👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the encouragement :)
Great tips! I'm interested in the handle and extension so you can hold it with open screen! Looks amazing, mind sharing which one is it? Thank you
Thank you so much!!!

very good video, i was having so many problems with the foco, but i understand now perfetly.
I am so glad to hear that! You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much.
You're most welcome friend!
God DAMN, you're actually a professional here on youtube! Thanks for sharing your precious tips :)
Really glad that you like my videos! 🔥
Amazing video thank you.
Yeew thanks Matt!
I was wondering what handle you were using that extends over the screen to easily allow you to tap focus areas is - around timestamp 2:44 for the left hand? Thank you so much for this video - can't wait to try out these new settings with my FX3. Although I wasn't able to setup the lens hold button on my sigma to set focus while in manual mode. The Set focus would just toggle between AF/MF even though I had it wasn't set to toggle them.
great vid! do you keep eye priority off when there is more than one person in the frame?
Brilliant ! Thank you - Subscribed of course
Thanks for the sub, Barry, appreciate it big time! 🙏
Hello Jacques. Thanks for a great tutorial! Your explanations are really helping me understand how to better use my gear.
What handle are you using with your FX3 when it’s not in a cage? If you have a link I’ll be glad to use it.
Thank you Brent, I'm so glad to hear that! Sadly they don't make those handles anymore, I'm searching for an alternative myself to recommend.
Hello Jacques! Nice video, thank you very much. Do you know if there's any option in video mode that allows you to lock the continuous focus on a subject without using the touch screen? Like the Lock-On option on photography. Thank yooou
Thank you! This is great!
I am glad to hear that, thank you!😄
Awesome mate 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Shahir, much appreciated mate!
Which type of base (the square block looking thing on the bottom of your camera rig) are you using?
Hi Jacques and Happy New year to you. I’ve come back to this video once again as it’s the best explanation for my camera. One question, probably a simple one, but I notice you are using the Ninja which I also have (although still learning as finding it a little difficult to master), and I notice you had the Sony screen showing on the Ninja. Is this anything special in setup or are you just using that option to show the Sony screen on the Ninja externally as that would be helpful to me to see what is in focus easier than using the small Sony screen on my A7S iii? Thanks as always !
Also do you think you would ever have the time to provide a full course? Your videos are amazing and so helpful but I for one would pay money for a specific course delivered by you. Just a thought ?!
Eye AF on the Sony A7SIII is like some kind of voodoo magic. I love it, too! Great video, man! New sub from me!
Thanks Dan, much apprecaited! Eye AF is a game changer for sure!
🤯 So very good knowledge for sony user ,Thankyou master🙏🙏
Yay thanks for your kind words, pleasure is all mine!
Thanks Man ! :)
You're welcome brother!
Amazing channel Jacques! You should come shooting in Reunion Island: it ain't that far from South Africa, and the scenery is beautiful!
Thank you Kaycinho, I actually wanted to come this December with my wife and then all the lockdowns happened, still very excited to get out there soon!
@Jacques Crafford Nice! You and your wife will love it! Let me know when you do, via my channel (not many people speak English here so at least you'll know someone) 😀
Great vid! Thanks, learned a lot :)
What side handle are using? Looks great to have the screen fully open. What parts from which brand?
Havr you found out what it is?
Hi Jacques, does the focus tracker work whilst shooting in 4k 120fps?
Hey Andy! Yes it does mate :)
very helpful. tks
Glad to hear! 🙏
Dude, this is god tier!
Thanks Matthew, you are most kind! Glad you like it!
thank u so much for this video
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching. 🔥
