How to make your Sony A7IV autofocus even better - Aperture Drive (A1, A7RIV, A9II)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2021
- In this video I'm breaking down one of the most underrated features of the new Sony cameras - Aperture Drive. It's available on A7IV, A1, A9II and A7RIV. The right setting will improve how camera is focusing when using higher aperture values.

Have a A7IV myself, tried with 35mm f/1.4, 55mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8, 90mm f2.8 and there are definitely focus-issues. The camera is not permanently front- or back focusing, but even with Eye-AF and AF-C, the selection-algorithm fails. As soon as there are strong (often vertical) contrast areas, or lines the AF prefers to focus on those parts in the frame even with the green focus frame clearly being on the eye. So, the camera is dead sharp, but it "internally" selects wrong parts for adjusting rather than the one in the focus frame. Took some selfies on a tripod, focus clearly on the eye, but often "real internal" focus was on the the black and white hairs of my beard, sometimes back focusing, sometimes front focusing. Hairs distract the camera, but also gray lines on buildings, or vertical borders of doors or windows. It's clearly a flaw in the internal focus selection logic. Had lots of portraits with different very good lenses with slightly blurry eyes but only with this camera (others work fine with same lenses). Hope they come up with a firmware upgrade soon
I'd love to see a complete walk through of how to set up the a7iv for portrait & wedding hybrid shooting for efficiency and optimization! (How did you get the "red" focus box?
It's coming! I'm working on a guide as we speak. The color of focus is here -> Menu - AF/MF - [Focus Area] - [Focus Area Color]
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer Thank you for sharing this!!
I just discovered this setting today, it makes a huge difference in my Sony A1 with Sony 50mm 1.2 GM. Just got this amazing lens for my A1, and as I did my first studio shoot, I noticed a disappointing miss focus occurrence in lets say 3 out of 10 shots, and as faith may have it, they were amazing expression/poses, I was shocked! This morning I decided to try checking focus settings, I also did a test with mi prior lens in this range, the Zeiss 55 1.8, and I also noticed some miss focus, so this indicated the A1 being at fault. So, I dug in the Focusing menu, and tried several things, no avail, till I set the "Aperture Drive in AF to Focus Priority, and that was it! Now I get 10 out of 10 in perfect pin sharp focus 😊 To think that I ALMOST send the lens back for an exchange... The moral of the story, always do your homework when some situations arise, sometimes is just some setting that need adjusting, such in my case. Thanks for the video!
Great video, thank you for the specific tips on focusing the A74 in low light. Great video and editing! Keep up the fantastic work!! 🏆📷😊
Thanks a ton!
My favorite channel on Sony gear.
Thanks for this video. This setting will be really helpfull in studio !
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! I had no idea I could do this on my A7IV, but so glad to have found out!
Still I have no idea how to manage the camera A7IV
Great vid as always magic! I'm a new subscriber especially after switching to Sony for my wedding work and ur videos have been a great help! Always looking forward to ur videos man!
Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad I can help!
Magic is probably the first photographer who decided to raise this problem with the operation of the aperture drive in SONY cameras.
No matter how much I wrote to SONY support, they just didn't want to notice this problem.
The impression that the developers simply do not understand why the jumping aperture was created in SLR cameras?
Finally, in the A7RIV, they added an item in the aperture drive setting "AF Priority"
But it only works in AF-C mode
Amazing video!!!Very helpful I got the A7IV few weeks ago and I'm still struggling a bit with the settings so, very helpful. You got a new subs!!Salutes from London n' look forward for your new content.
Hey Jamie! Thanks! Happy to help, see you around!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer You're welcome!!!Keep it up the good work!!!😀
Woooow thanks! I was having such a hard time in studio with f8 and shooting a moving subject!!
Omg !!!! Thank you so much man !!!!
Can you make a video on how to clean any camera lens. I loved how you showed how to clean the sensor in one of your videos but would love a video on how to clean a lens and also how to record in cold weather and snow and rain how to protect our gear from getting wet or damaged etc.
Great video as always.With older cameras you can turn off exposure simulation and again the camera will use widest aperture to focus.
Thanks! Unfortunately the settings effect doesn’t help. It will still close the shutter during the operation when you’re shooting at higher f-stops. At least it does that for me. Try closing your lens to the highest f number and see if there’s any difference when looking at the lens with settings effect on and off and let me know!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer it defiantly works. Mark Galer has a video on it. I use it on my A9 mk1 when using on camera flash at events. Speeds up the AF a lot when shooting at f5.6 with a f2.8 lens . The big benefit of the method on the newer cameras is you keep exposure simulation . Not so important when using flash
Thank you great information 🤗
This setting is also in original A9 through firmware update.
Hi Magic, thank you for sharing this wonderful tip. It is an extremely helpful feature!
Thank you, I wish you everything best and your channel and personal life. Greatest and loving affirmations! :D
really nice video. thank you :)
Podobna funkcja jest w a7m3 tylko działa w AF-S. Odrobinę się różni wiadomo ale zasada jest ta sama czyli łapanie ostrości na otwartej przysłonie
Can you do that video before than a week time!!! Please, please, please, I got a wedding on the 9th and would love to compare settings with you before the event!!!🙏
Oh snap, I don't think it'll happen before 9th! Sorry! Good luck with your wedding!
Is this just for native sony lenses?
are you going to release a course on Sony a7iv for photography and filmmaking
I'm working on a walkthrough / guide video on how to set up your A7IV for weddings, so stay tuned for that!
Excellent video!!!!
Thank you very much!
Hello, good advice, I would like to know if you have had problems with overheating of this camera, I am a beginner and I bought a new one and I had to set it to HIGH temperature since in STANDARD just looking at menus it turned off, I still do not have sd cards so I do not know if recording in 4k in high temperature it will turn off, I would like to know your opinion on this, thanks!
For micro distance because 3d shape of the actual aperture means: changing aperture can change focus plane. in this case avoid this function
Would that mean camera could miss focus on very close distances? Do I understand your comment correctly?
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer yes, as pointed out by Christopher Frost
Have you tried this with sports like with the 100-400? If so how did it do?
but it only works when you shoot in loud Mode right? I´ve do a lot of Animal Photography and so i shoot in Silence Mode and then i cannot choice this setting :( But thanks for that great tip
Thanks!
Any pointers for anyone using A7RIII? Great video
Great tip. Noted. Does it work in any focus drive mode or just AF-S?
Hello, I take a picture on godox ad200 and continuous led light I trigger the flash from the navigator x2. Sony AV Camera. I can't set the flash at the end of the exposure, this option is disabled ... why?
czekaj! Napisz jeszcze raz po naszemu, bo nie zrozumiałem!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer hehe ok ale juz rozwiązałem problem. Chciałem by lampa błyskała na końcu czasu naświetlania a nie na początku. I ta opcja była niedostępna. Jest juz ok
How dark are we talking about? I'm not a wedding photographer but sometimes I like to photos at family or social events. It's not very dark, but it's not bright either. Do I need this in those situations?
Hi Magic. Great video as always. Did they manage to improve a lag when using flash lights/strobes? A7III had a very noticeable delay. For some it was a deal breaker because they could not get used to it, just like af hunting at high f numbers.
Yes it’s a big improvement, even better than my A9 mk1 . With on camera flash it feels very snappy. So much so I use it in preference to A9 at receptions with on camera flash .
no lag with my profoto flashes! But I didn't have one on my A7RIII either. Maybe it was just A7III issue?
Aperture drive setting is also available on the A7C
Correct! Thanks for that!
And works with 28-60 lens
This mode is in the A7c….and yes it does work
Thanks for the video. How does it perform in AF-C? Is there a drop in framerate?
Honestly I can’t understand how you’ve got only 8k subscribers. Your content is very helpful. Thanks mate. Greetings from Australia.!✌🏽
Thanks so much my friend!
This seems to be a software limitation and not because the camera is newer, but I might be wrong. Thanks for the great video!
I'm not sure about it, since the function is available on A9 mk1, but not with all lenses and doesn't work that well. Maybe there's something more to it, with processing power... not really sure.
I miss the Av/Tv Rotate setting that the a7 III had. I had shutter on the front dial and aperture on the rear dial, now I have to re-map by brain to shoot the opposite way. 😢
What? Does the A7IV not have that setting? Why in the world would they remove this…
@@kimhp I’ve looked and looked, can’t find it anywhere in this camera. I’ll probably have to revert the a7 III to match the IV, since I’m keeping it as a second camera.
@@DavidStella Page 46/54. Click Custom Key/Dial Set. Last option is Dial/Wheel. There you can make all the dials do whatever you want.
@@GiannisChas that would be page 44/53 on mine, and indeed it’s there. Thank you so much for the tip!
@giannis_ch for the win!
@David Stella I also shoot reverted, so I always change it in my cameras!
It’s called stop down focusing on Canon and I believe Nikon use it too. Great video and didn’t realize it was a setting on Sony cameras and thought it was only for certain bodies by default previously!
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome!
If you have a contact with Sony, could you request HEVC full frame video recording? I knew 50p would be cropped but didn't expect there to be no 24p nor 25p when set to PAL. That really sucks cos all modes are cropped unless shooting H264.
super
By default Canon works with largest aperture of the lens so thanks for this tip. I would have gone mad with the Sony. Still waiting for my A7IV.
My pleasure! I actually wonder is there option to change it on Canon to the other mode?
It will also behave like Aperture Drive: Focus Priority when you have Live View Display: Setting Effect Off.
This is really helpful to know because I'm used to turning live view off when shooting in a studio, so I'm actually making a good choice. I know it worked on Nikon cameras but I'm new to Sony so thanks for confirming that.
Aah-pih-tur
ˈTHaNGk ˌyo͞o!
How to make the A7iv autofocus better ? Ask Sony to make it just good ! I've been using this setting, but it doesn't make the A7iv capable of focusing on runners coming towards the camera. Detection and tracking work fine, but from my latest trial, only 10 % of the shots are as sharp as the 70-200 GM II allows. It is even worse for light faces with light eyes and light eyebrows : no sharp shot at all.
Almost ONE full minute of hype! Just say hi and start the video. Ughhhhh.... all of you RUclipsrs think you have to make some huge production and beg for everyone to subscribe or whatever. Can you just get on with it. And yes... it took me the same amount of time to write this! LOL! HOWEVER< thank you for the content.
You really need to practice to pronounce “aperture” 😉
haha, yep. I got a long way to learn...!
