triple thumbs up. thanks for a great video!
You’re welcome! Appreciate the support
NICE !! Thank you, this help me a lot!!
Thank you for watching🙏
Great help still in 2021, just got an a7s3, but prefer the handling of the s5. thanks for the trash button-help function mention!
Nice tips as a first time Sony user. Keep it up!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info!
Thank you for watching
Really good video bro!
Thank you! Appreciate the support!
very good video thanks!
Thank you for watching🙏
also check out Flexible Exposure Mode, its super nice and lets you controll the camera like a sony camcorder. It lets you quickly change from auto Av/Tv to manual without needing to stop recording just by pressing the assigned button. I recoment setting Tv to always Manual and only set up Av Auto/Manual Switch to a button. ISO Auto/Manual Switch sadly is still missing but i think it gets added later with firmware.
Red Menu, [4], Exposure Ctrl Type.
Sweet! Thanks for the info!
amazing info thx bro
Thank you for watching
thank you
great video!
Appreciate it🙏
super helpful for this noob, thanks Dustin!
No problem glad it was helpful 🙏
Awesome info. Glad to have figured out how to turn the audio signals off because that noise is awful 😂 Thanks dude!
No problem. I’m glad you found this video helpful 🙏
Superb like you all videos. I trade my S1H to A7S3 and i wasn't be happier. So much better camera to run & gun videos. And all fr/s is FF.
It is a great camera to run and gun with I definitely agree
LAZER!!
Jus found ur second channel keep up the work!!!!!!!!
Oh hey man! Haha happy you found it! Would like to do my other channel as well, but can't with the time I have currently. Hope to see you on twitch👍
@@DustinArmstrongPro Idk if you remember me, Icky from your streams a longggggg time ago? I started watching you when your name was LazerBeing, I still have ur twitch logo sticker that says Lazer!
I remember don't worry! You're a legend for the support! Yeah Lazer is gone now. I went back to my old name which I prefer, muscle hawk. So if you see that it's me! Haha
Eagerly waiting for comparison video on sony a7s3 vs s1h
That'll be the next video. Guarantee it!
Super usefull video! thank you! proud owner of this camera and this help me build a healthy communication relationship with her :-D
Glad this has been useful 🙏 hope it keeps serving you well!
Like everyone else I really like the content in this video, Really helpful for first time sony user.
I unfortunately couldn’t find the marker display in the movie settings menu. Is that because I didn’t insert the sd card? Or do I need to upgrade the firmware?
Appreciate it🙏
Shouldn't be a firmware upgrade. Are you on the A7sIII?
Thank you..
Thank you for watching
Great video!, but at 5:15 you say theres no way to change from touch to focus to touch to tracking on the fly, but there is a way without going into the menu.... when you are on standby (also cycle through the display huds on standby to see it) THERE IS A LITTLE RECTANGLE IN THE UPPER RIGHT OF YOUR LIVE DISPLAY.. tap the to cycle between touch to focus and touch to tracking. I just got the A7s III a couple weeks ago and I love it
This is great to know. I will have to try it out next time. Thank you for the support🙏
wow! tnx a lot
Thanks bro, do i have to chance to stabilize footage with gyro data? Like gopro reelsteady do
You have to use a software called catalyst browse. It’s free to download from Sony’s website
Is there a way of showing what the camera is focusing on like in photo mode, thanks for the top video.
I'm not sure what you mean? Are you asking if you can do peaking in photo mode? I'm pretty sure you can if that's what you're asking
Nice tip on the trash can!
good stuff. Where do we go to download the gyroscope software?
Google “catalyst browse” and it’ll be on the Sony website
please What use (fixed speed stby in sony a7siii) 🙏🏻
Can you do a video on setting 8? I think that's what my issue is. When I hit record it's giving the black bars or box on top and bottom. I don't wan that. No matter the settings I've tried it keeps doing it. I thought it was full frame. What am I doing wrong how can I get rid of it? My canon never did that
have you sold the panasonic s1h? Wich of both camera do you prefer?
Nope I still have it. Still figuring out if I prefer either of them because I like both of them for different reasons
You’re channel deserve more followers! Will you sell the s1h?
Thank you! Currently I don't have plans to sell
@@DustinArmstrongPro hey where is you're comparison?
Working on it.
so you drop your S1H 🤔
What camera and lense did you use to film this video?
Panasonic S1H with the Sigma 35mm 1.4
QUICK TIP on the dual ISO: just multiply the base ISO by 20x and you get the exact number when it switches. (Slog3 640 * 20 = 12800) much easier to remember.
Great tip thank you 🙏
😮 whoaa, if pic profiles CINE2 & HLG1 have dual ISO at 1000, means their base ISO is 50?
@Raymond Yin yes thank you, hlg base iso is same as s-cinetone, I was referring to cine2 & hlg1 specifically = base iso is 50 for these profiles, I just checked on a7s3
What about s cinetone ?
@@msnspy just check the base iso of it and do the math as explained
Thanks for the info - My a7siii will always be set to manual focus as default - ie. I can be in auto focus but if i turn the camera off and back on im now back in Manual - not sure if this is just how it is or if I've accidentally set it up this way....any tips would be much appreciated - cheers man!
weird, figured it out yet? was it regardless of mode? photo/movie etc..
That is weird actually. Did you get it figured out?
Phisical selector on the lens maybe? Weird!
Having same issue now, lens selector on AF, every time camera is powered on it's in MF mode, anyone figured it out? If I find a fix will try to txt here.
Is the emphasize rec no longer available? I have the A7s3 and I do not have red setting #10 - Shooting Mode
Gotta be in movie mode for it to show up.
I'd like to turn the screen off during the interval shooting for timelapse to save the buttery. I cannot find how.
Hey! I am trying to figure out a solution to a problem I'm facing. There are times when I need to shoot in 24fps, 30fps or 60fps in a video shoot. Changing from one setting to another takes me going to the menu, changing the fps, changing the shutter speed then changing either to aperture or iso because of the change in exposure/shutter speed. I'm trying to figure out if there are presets or settings that easily and effectively switches between the different fps without going through all of the steps mentioned above.
Thanks!
Which camera are you on?
Hello Brahh ! every time I rec the camera makes a picture it frame in a diferent folder (THMBNL) . I don´t want this to happen . I want no pictures . Where can i set it on my camera ? i can´t find it ! Thanks
I just bought this camera and I'm new to all this. My Sony A7s III isn't displaying this feature on Emph disp dur REC. Any suggestions on where I may find this? Thanks
Might need a firmware update
Must be in movie mode to show up
Really good. Learned several settings I wasn’t sure about. Thanks.
Glad you found it helpful!
A7siii paired with Fx6 - would you get this combo?
Probably depends. I think they’re a great combo, but it seems the only advantage to the FX6 is the built in audio capabilities and electronic ND filter
I've got this combo. Things FX6 has over the a7S III that I've noticed so far is of course the electronic nd, xlr inputs, top handle, side adjustable grip, sdi, waveform, shutter angle and a fan. I'm sure there's more differences but they are the ones that come to mind initially 👍
Don’t have a Sony but still had to watch
It's a tempting camera and good to know what it can and can't do
And another video suggestion is when you import raw photos or videos into your mac how to preview them and how to organise them and then import them in your editing software as am still struggling with this a a person who owns a camera (a7siii ) for the first moving from shooting on an iphone. There aren’t any videos to explain this workflow and this might be a good content to consider
What are you editing your photos and videos in?
@@DustinArmstrongPro I edit both on macbook final cut pro x and iPhones Video leap app. Yet the process to preview the videos or raw photos on a mac is still a problem without having to open a project on final cut and dropping them their to view them at the least
For videos, I film mostly at 4K HS at 420 10 bit and those should be able to be previewed from the finder. For RAW photos I edit in photoshop and I believe you can preview them if you have photoshop? I could be wrong but yeah I won’t be much help in final cut. Some codecs/files you just can’t preview in the finder. I’d download Sony’s “catalyst browse“ software and you should be able to preview everything least video wise in there. Not the best solution but might be easier then pulling it into final cut. Hope that helps
@@DustinArmstrongPro i have tested it and is actually previews in hs but not in any other format which is weird but non the less thank you for the tip 👌🏻 not a photoshop guy and unfortunately lightroom misses up for quick previews so might as well stay stuck with the image edge program. 🙌🏻
What about the tv lines when recording
in modes 1.2.3 - how do I change the exposure mode to manual(M)? in video mode I can do it but in 123 modes I cant
I believe you have to change the settings in manual mode to what you want. Then theres a setting called "memory recall" in the menu and using that mode you save those settings to 1 2 or 3. Then when you switch to those modes, it'll recall the settings you saved on that mode. Sorry I can't remember it off the top of my head
Hey, i Know this is a A7sIII vid but someone know if this option is on gh5 too ? (red square during recording)
I believe it is
@@DustinArmstrongPro i just cant’t find it or information on it, that why i ask ^^
im in "red menu" and can't find 10 emphasis rec indicator??? my men stops at 9?? im running firmware 1.02?? Please help :)
Figured it out, had to be be in "Movie mode", not M /manual mode.....
Glad you figured it out!
Noone is talking about antiflicker mode which is huge :)
It's been there for awhile?
what is the dual iso for natural profile
Same as the standard profile
@@DustinArmstrongPro what is the standard profile ? i dont own a sony i have Fuji xt4 and thinking to change mostly i film weddings and journalism.
@@gstockvideos8085 think it's 1600 ISO for standard pic profile, 12800 ISO for slog-3, A7S3 is awesome to switch to, with things like 4k120, improved ibis, selfie screen & the new touch menu which is way better than previously confusing non-touch menu system
@@mirrorlessny thanks
how do I like this 3 times?
You like the video. You get your mom to like the video. Then your dog. Easy PZ
As good as the details are but i would suggest to add time stamps so we can refer back to the items later on 🙌🏻
I have them on some videos, but when you’re a one man band and don’t have a lot of time to make these videos, sometimes I get lazy and don’t feel like adding them haha. One day I’ll be more consistent on adding timestamps
@@DustinArmstrongPro I feel you, and all I can say is I hope you the best. you are on the right track ✌️
Appreciate the support 🙏
Trying to count 4.3 stops hurts my head lol. I wish they could just add a marker or change the color of the native ISO's in the menu so regardless of picture profile you'd always know the optimal starting point.
Haha yeah it’s kind of annoying. There’s another trick someone told me in the comments that’s a little easier you might be able to find. Can’t remember exactly what they said. That would be really nice though if Sony implemented that
Do x20 your minimum ISO for that Picture Profile you are in. To make sure, go into settings and, under ISO and see what the minimum is. Then do that x20. Slog3 base ISO is 640. 640 x 20 = 12800
wow I still like the s1h menus better still.
I agree. Big improvement at least from Sony
@@DustinArmstrongPro yes I agree to that they have improved it.
First!
