Nice footage! I see that there are sometimes background shake/pulse for example at 2:00, I noticed same thing with my a6700+200-600, can't get rid of it, no matter how I setup AF sensitivity or speed, slowing down AF makes less noticable, but still visible.
Could be rolling shutter but in this case I think its premiere warp stabilisation at work.. It's not something I would see when the camera is stationary. Do you see it when not moving?
@@WillemvanderPijlIt is visible without warp, mostly visible on tripod, because without any camera movement it easier to notice background pulsing, especially visible if bird is surrounded by branches. this happens only with 200-600, with 70-350 or 150-500 Didn't notice such things or it is so slight that is not visible.
@@PatrickWithCamera ahhhh, I might know what you mean. My A6700 autofocus goes crazy sometimes because of branches it's very annoying. That's the only problem I've experienced with the camera. But I've also had it happen with the 70-350
Iso: Auto 4K 100fps 1/200 shutterspeed Bird autofocus (though some shots are manual focus) Steady shot on (not active) Apenture was the max of my lens at that focal length so 5.6 - 6.3
Amazing video! Did you use any lens filter to help keep you shutter speed and aperture settings good? Of course, the rich natural surroundings are beautiful. Thanks!
Thank you so much! No I only had an UV filter for protection which I always have. I used 4K 100fps with 1/200 shutter and ISO auto (I think) could also be that I lowered the ISO a bit. With telephoto I don't need my UV filters most of the time. Only with my 2.8 lens
@@WillemvanderPijl very good. Thanks! My channel is primarily about backpacking various American trail, but recently I shifted to more material and wildlife photography.
It depends. A6700 has better autofocus, especially for animals. And if you like taking photos aswel A6700 is the way to go because FX30 won't do that very well (no viewfinder and no burst shot) FX30 is what you need if you only shoot video and you need to film for long periods of time. The fan will prevent overheating. A6700 WILL OVERHEAT if you film on higher framerates for a while
@@WillemvanderPijl Nice to see that 100 fps with 6.3 aperture performs so well without direct sunlight in cloudy day! I'm about to buy the a6700 and 70-350 so I constantly monitor RUclips to see each 4k 100-120 video made with this combo. I'm really happy to see it because I hear many complains that 4k 100 is grainy but you made really a National Geographic level job. I would be really grateful if you tell your picture profile, ISO level and exposure. Thank you!
@@harry54ck that compliment means a lot!! ISO I don't know anymore but according to zebra, some water reflections were overexposed. I use no picture profile The key, I think, is shutterspeed. For video always make your shutterspeed double that of your fps. So for 100fps video 1/200 shutter.
Hey Willem, wat een fraaie plaatjes man! Ik ben zeer onder de indruk van de beeldkwaliteit van deze combo a6700 met de 200-600mm. Zelf gebruik ik deze lens op mijn a7s3. Ik overweeg de aanschaf van de a6700 als tweede camera vanwege het hoger tele-bereik (900mm equivalent). Merk jij een belangrijk kwaliteits-verlies door de crop bij 100fps? Heb je deze beelden bewerkt qua scherpte en/of ruis-onderdrukking?
Ontzettend bedankt voor het mooie compliment! Bij deze video heb ik niks gedaan met scherpte of ruisonderdrukking. Enkel de saturation, exposure en de white balance om de beelden een geheel te maken. Ik merk eigenlijk geen scherpte verlies in het geval van video met deze crop. Wel moet ik zeggen als je zit te wachten op een (ijsvogel bijvoorbeeld) dier voordat hij gaat springen ofzo, dat hij vrij snel oververhit raakt de a6700. Voor dat doel heb ik een FX30 maar de autofocus van de a6700 is wel echt vele maten beter dan die van de FX30. Mijn gouden regel is altijd je sluitertijd moet 2x je framerate zijn dus 100fps-> 1/200 Op die manier vang je vaak wel genoeg licht en krijg je een fijne motionblur voor video Ik vind de combinatie van die lens met de a6700 echt fantastisch en ik ga zelden met iets anders op stap als ik de natuur in ga :)
This is really great quality footage, very crisp! I just got an a6700. I'm curious, are you shooting off a tripod with fluid head? Your image quality is amazing at long focal lengths which is something I'm struggling with. Thanks!
I used a monopod for this. It helps that I'm shooting at 100fps and 1/200 shutter speed. When taking pictures always double your focal length for the shutter speed if you shoot out of hand. For video that's more tricky.. But filming this would have been impossible without monopod. Look at the last kestrel shots on the sign, that's out of hand.. What lens are you using?
@@WillemvanderPijl Thanks for the response! I am using a sony 70-350mm lens and also an older sony 18-200mm lens. Both have optical steady shot. I can get crisp images up close at shorter focal length, probably up to 120-150mm, but the further i zoom it gets more blurry and shaky on the subject. I think it is possibly caused by slight vibration in my tripod due to wind and also i need to dial in my focus settings better.
@@shadyrack22 hm I have no experience with the 18-200. Check if your A6700 is on active stabilisation maybe? And a little higher shutter speed can help. Do you only have this problem with the a6700?
@@WillemvanderPijl a6700 is my only camera so i havent tried with others. I have adjusted the shutter speed up a little bit to 320 which I have found helps. I need to push it to 400 or 500 to see if that helps. (I'm shooting at 120fps 95% of the time). I'm still testing several different settings to find what works best at the moment.
@@shadyrack22 my standard is double of my framerate so 1/200 th of a second. But yeah try higher if it's too shaky. Double shutter speed number of your fps does create more motion blur which can make footage look smoother. Hope it helps. Is it camera shake or stuttery footage?

enjoyed watching it...
I bought this a6700. Uploaded 4k videos. Great camera.
Nice sharp footage!
Never seen as many birds as when i lived in the Netherlands
nice. can you get autofocus bird tracking while recording slow motion video on the A6700 ?
Yes, I am not sure about S&Q mode though. Which is required to shoot at 240fps slowmotion. But 4K 120fps has Bird AF
Очень понравилось, спасибо!
beautiful video. i've been trying to learn how to film my flock of pigeons. they fly very fast and its very difficult to keep up with them
Nice shots!
Prachtige beelden Willem 👍

60 or 120 fps, tell please? It is one of the most significant points which weren't mentioned
100fps slowed down to 25%. I am in PAL region. I will add it to the description :)

Thanks for video! What was the average distance to the birds? I want to take this lens to my a6700 and prepare a little for shooting.
I would say on average 150-200 meters. I measured it on Google maps where I thought the birds would have been at the time
@@WillemvanderPijl thanks bro 👍 This will be very helpful for planning future shoots.
@@he3amo good luck! I filmed on 100fps that gives another 1.5x crop and used a monopod for extra support
nice to meet you! Is it tracking AF? Tracking while pressing? Touch tracking?
Tracking AF and sometimes while pressing, but I didn't hold it all the time so just press and release while filming
gaaf
