    Thanks for the video it’s great. Would you still recommend this camera for 1080p film and photography work? I am limited by budget but I think I could still get useable results with this camera and a decent prime lens. What do you think?

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  Год назад

      These cameras are now approaching 10 years old and the movie options have come on a long way since 2013. The original A7R does not have Phase Detect Autofocus which means that only Manual Focus is smooth when shooting movies.

    Is the A7 good to start out with? I plan on doing street photography and just parked sport cars.

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  Год назад +1

      Bearing in mind the A7 is a 10 year old camera with slow Phase Detect AF (Continuous AF) then the camera is OK for subjects where fast AF is not required. I personally would be looking for a second-hand A7III if I was on a budget or something from the APS-C range of cameras such as the A6400 which has very fast and reliable AF.

    Great Video!! I just got one recently. Is there any way at all to set a button to turn off the flash ? This is so ridiculously stupid that this custom option is not available in anything but AUTO mode... who shoots Auto SONY??? What a stupid move !! ON all my cameras I could set the flash to NO FLASH in any mode... Hopefully someone knows.. perhaps via APP? TIA

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  4 года назад

      It would be quicker to just turn the flash off on the flash itself rather than to look for an option in the camera menu.

  • @anneneijnens

    Thank you for the information! Do you know how to switch to shooting at 60fps?

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  6 лет назад +2

      Choose 50 fps for PAL and 60 fps for NTSC - you can move to 60fps by switching using the NTSC/PAL selector in the Toolbox menu. Beware of shooting 60 fps in non-NTSC countries as you may incur flickering lights.

    • @anneneijnens
      @anneneijnens 6 лет назад

      Thank you so much, Mark! When I have XAVC S as file format I can choose between 60, 30 and 24 fps. Do you often switch between these framerates while shooting?

    If i shoot in AVCHD format and use a 4K atomos shogun recorder, is the video gonna be recorded in 4K?
    thx for the answers im lost.

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  7 лет назад +2

      The A7 and A7R cameras shoot 1080p
      The A7S shoots 4K to an external recording device.
      The A7RII and A7SII shoot 4K to the card.

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  5 лет назад

      The two sounds are the first curtain shutter and rear curtain shutter. The original A7R does not have an electronic first curtain shutter. Subsequent models have the option to use an electronic first curtain shutter so there is only one shutter sound. The shutter sound was also dampened in the MKII and MKIII models.

  • @ronwilsontringue6574
    @ronwilsontringue6574 7 лет назад

    perhaps you could suggest a solution to this seemingly simple problem - attaching an external mic to shoot movies only records on one channel - either L or R but never both. We have tried this on 4 NEX-7 and 6 a7r cameras. We have tried 6 stereo mics all of which work fine on other A/D equipment and the internal mics on each camera work correctly.
    Thanks,
    Ron

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  9 лет назад +1

      Jimmy Seraph ISO 50 is an artificially low ISO option for capturing stills. There is is no increase in quality when selecting ISO 50. This option is not available for video capture. It is normal to add Neutral Density filters in front of you lens when shooting video in bright ambient conditions so that you can use the slower shutter speeds.

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  8 лет назад

      +Jimmy Seraph The minimum ISO cannot go to 50 in video mode

    • @AlphaCreativeSkills
      @AlphaCreativeSkills  8 лет назад

      +Camboriú Video The camera cannot shoot in full frame when shooting in 120 fps. You need to switch to an ultra wide angle lens such as the FE1635 if you need to restore your ability to shoot in wide angle.
