    Will receive my A7iv and 85mm 1.4 in 3 days. I own a sony rx100 vii and video corespons with like 80%. I will be ordering the crash course. I love the way you take your time and teach. Other videos just rush though the information so fast that I can barely keep up let alone learn anything. So thank. Can't wait to get started with the Crash Course.

    Absolute beginner here. Was so disappointed in my iPhone & its focus - or lack of it, after visiting Costa Rica, I thought I’d need a proper camera for our next holiday.
    After watching several different utube videos on the Sony A74, it left me more confused & stressed out than ever! Had I bitten off more than I could chew?
    Well, yes! … until I just came across this beaut of a tutorial! Michael, you’ve saved me weeks, probably months of cross referencing different clips from different utubers & head scratching!
    You explain everything so clearly & in a way I can understand. You take your time & don’t rush. This is amazing! I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to show me how my new camera works. You’d make a great school teacher!
    👏👏👏👏👏 👍

    Thanks Michael for your video. This has been very helpful since I just received the Sony A7 IV this week. I have been a lifelong Nikon user (selling all my gear now). I was comfortable with the Nikon D500 & 200-500mm lens for wildlife. Great camera, but I wanted to do more with video and the D500 was not great for video (especially auto focus). The Sony A7 IV seems to be a perfect hybrid.
    This is certainly going to be a transition, but very impressed thus far. I purchased a kit lens for now (28-60mm) along with the 200-600mm lens.
    Again, thanks for your time and effort in making this video. Great job.

    • @michaelandrew5209

    • @rauten6588
      @rauten6588 2 года назад

      @@michaelandrew5209 Thanks for asking. I am obviously becoming more and more familar with the Sony now. Awesome pictures along with the fast autofocus is just incredible. And my next challenge is video. I have not spent much time in that arena yet. I would love to have had this camera/lens setup when I was shooting at dance recitals from the balcony of my daughters years ago.
      I was reading somewhere that lens filters may distort photos with some Sony lens. Not sure if true or not. Do you shoot with or without filters?
      Thanks again Michael

I'm also purchasing your "Crash Course" as I literally have never done something like this before and if this tutorial is THIS helpful, I can only imagine where this is all going.

    Michael. Great video and info. I bought your crash course. Quick question on the Sony A7 iv is there any difference between lossless compression and uncompressed in the files as far as quality? Even in higher ISOs?

      There is a difference, but it is very hard to see unless you are shooting a niche type of subject matter, like astrophotography.

    Thanks for the video. Do you know why the distortion compensation is greyed out? And do the lens corrections also effect the RAW files?

    Thanks so much for an amazing tutorial! I'm noticing extreme lag in the EVF when doing long exposures of 15". Is this normal?

      Yes it’s normal. I believe I cover turning this off in the deep menu lesson

    @Michael The Maven , hello Sir! I would like to ask if you have faced problems with HOT/STUCK/DEAD pixels with this A7IV ? If so... were you able to fix them?
