I've been a professional photographer during 15 years, working with Canon. I decided to change to Sony and now i feel completely lost with the menus. I feel really uncomfortable with this camera, cause i don't even know how to do absolutely nothing, it seems you have to be an aeronautic engineer to do basic things. Thanks for your video, now i know how to do some things.
@@realphotopro Thanks for your words! i did my first photoshoot with the new camera and the results were absolutely amazing. It's gonna take some weeks/months to have better control of the camera, but i am so happy with the Alpha 7 IV.
Just sold off my Nikon Z6 to be able to make he switch to this Sony. This will be my first time using Sony so a big thanks for your multiple user guide videos for this camera.
Hi, the video was very helpful, but I was left with a many questions I would appreciate an explanation for regarding the "trash" button. How would something like this work? I saw you click the button that opened a menu with a "delete" option, which I think I am familiar with, but I have never seen it go in a trash can like the button icon shows. How does this technology work? Is there an actual trash can inside the camera as illustrated next to the button? If so, how do I get access to this trash can and how often should I be taking the trash out of the camera..? Never in my life have I seen technology like this. It evolves so quickly, how's anyone supposed to keep up! Trash cans inside of cameras. Who would've thought! Ha
As someone who has never used a high quality camera before, and is looking into becoming a photographer, how long would you say it takes to get used to this camera? I just bought the camera yesterday, and have been learning the basics of photography for about a year now. I did my research on what this camera can do, and was excited to get it. Now playing around with it, I feel a bit overwhelmed haha.
Thank you Jerad...I'm confused with the memory cards. I want the best cards that will cover anything I want to use my camera for. 75% video-25% photo's. I've watched many video's on memory cards. I was about to purchase the ProGrade Digital 256GB UHS-II SDXC V90 Memory Card (2-Pack)$413.99. Your link shows Lexar 32GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDHC V90 Memory Card for $39.99pc. Quite a difference. This is the one you show in the video...Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card (2-Pack) $329.99
sd cards do n ot allow you do record RAW files, I am buying now a prograde card to be alble to shoot in raw,it was a surprise to me , in Portugal they ask too much for a CF Express card card
Nice video! I want to ask. What is better to take for reportage videos (weddings and various events): Sony a6400, a7 Mark 2 or Canon 90D? Budget up to $1700. Thanks in advance for the answer!
Depends on what you want to spend in the future. Full frame lenses (a7) will be more expensive than APS-C (a6400). When you want the best in terms of price/performance ratio it’s a good choice to go with the 6400 and buy some good lenses e.g sigma art 1.4 or some 1.8 lenses.
@@matic2601 Thanks..I just buy a Sony Alpha 4 today and when I was changing the sooting settings , It doen t allow to choose RAW and Jpg ,and its the card for sure, now I have to spen a lots a money on a reader and a card..I have already the 7R2 for a log time and some all of my lenses are 2.8 Sony , I realy do not mind to spend a litle bit more , couse you will get more accurate pictures.
Greetings Jerad, I have a problem! I purchased your course! Went through 1/2 of it! I love it but I had to stop for a day believing I could "log back into it " somehow? I am not being told HOW to do that???? Can someone please help me get back to that course and know how to access it moving forward? Thank you
Idk why the dial that have the lock doesn’t work, does it comes off or anything like that, I never use it cause I have my camera by default but if I try to use it just doesn’t do anything? Any help idk if there is any extra lock or something like that
Mt Sony A7IV is fairly new I used it a lot then took a break. Now when I take a photo it does not give me a playback image to look at. It did before and I am not finding the setting to turn it back on can you help me find this?
Brilliant video Jerad, very concise and easy to follow. Thank you.

Hang in there, I changed to Sony in 2015 from Canon and felt the same way. You will pick it up quickly. Now have 9 Sony's for visible and IR light.

I am in the same boat. I went out this weekend because I'm usually a self taught learn as I go.... well here I am watching videos. 😄
One of the best videos for introducing the Sony A7iv that I've watched,. Looking forward to taking it out of the box!
Just sold off my Nikon Z6 to be able to make he switch to this Sony. This will be my first time using Sony so a big thanks for your multiple user guide videos for this camera.

Thanks for the great video. How do we set the display wheel to control ISO?
This was awesome! THANKS! I do want to know, do you teach (talk ) as fast as this video because I could not keep up and had to replay a few times.
I teach slower. Try to keep the pace up in RUclips videos so the video stays short.
Thank you for your video. Does this camera have picture profiles ?

Great Video! Thanks
Thanks for a great video, Let me know when you have a great discount on your A 7 IV course.
Make sure your signed up for my newsletter. I run deals often.
@@jeradcamerais the course basically a longer video going over the camera in more detail?
Hatch Chile cameo 😊
Is there a typo on the second dot point line of the A7IV Course? It refers to the Canon R6?
Good catch. Thanks!
Greetings Jerad, I have a problem! I purchased your course! Went through 1/2 of it! I love it but I had to stop for a day believing I could "log back into it " somehow? I am not being told HOW to do that???? Can someone please help me get back to that course and know how to access it moving forward? Thank you
Sent you an email. Looks like you lost the website address but were able to find it again. Thanks for purchasing my course!

Can you record 4k / 24 fps on auto mode?
Good cam 👍👍👍
How can we set Photo mode to record 1080p and Video mode to record 4k?
You mean, focus hold button on a lens is similar to the back button focus?
It can be, yes.
Can is ask something? If I put an sd card in any slot and one is full, does it automatically keep recording on the other one?
Yes if set to that mode.
Mt Sony A7IV is fairly new I used it a lot then took a break. Now when I take a photo it does not give me a playback image to look at. It did before and I am not finding the setting to turn it back on can you help me find this?
There is a playback feature in settings that turns the option off or on. I'd check that first.
Interested in your course but the page cannot be found.
Sorry about that. Link updated.
Course link is broken :(
Sorry about that. It’s fixed.
How is this a beginner video ? People forget what beginners mean it means we are new to this so why are u talking like we are pro slow it down ?
