- Sony Rx10iv and a few of its little Faults that have happened and not just to me, Also what will Sony replace the Rx10iv with? also, check out Peterlution youtube channel where he did the hairdryer thing on his rx10iv :) • DIY: SONY RX10 Shutter...
There's nothing like this on the market. I'm so happy with mine.
nice to hear
Good one! Yeah they should have you on their payroll as a RX10 consultant for when they design the V. I still got to update that fw.
one day maybe lol
Hi Stuart, haven't had the RX 101v long. Pretty difficult to sort out settings, so have followed your setting guide ins earlier video, thanks.Love your manual F4 Setting.
The manual that arrived with it is the size of the yellow pages which I am avoiding with terror. My problem so far is with the high speed bursts, I only get one shot, the first one I guess. I am using an Extreme PRO 170MB/s SD,XC 1, 3X 10 128 GB Card. Have used a couple. Could you advise me if I have a card problem or a setting problem, please. Thank you Stuart regards John
do you have it on burst shooting and not single shot ? also make sure your dial at the front of the camera is on AFC not just S
This is such an amazing camera. Mine frequently suffices instead of a bag of full frame lenses... it's that good. Yes I've learned how to use it; and I'll bracket some shots that I wouldn't bother bracketing with my D850. Video is brilliant too, except when it drifts in and out of focus for no reason at all... so I need to lock focus once it's "in". I should probably upgrade to the new firmware.
defo worth it
Thanks for the update Stuart appreciated Matey I'm also looking at the Sony PXW-Z280 video camera for shooting Rock bands
ive not used any of sonys video cameras but just had a look at it. seems a very capable beast of a camera
@@sjm.photos Oh yes it is a beast Stuart I have seen some great reports on the performance doesnt have a touch screen monitor but im not bothered about that feature more interested in performance and ease of use
I've got a z150 and it works great with the rx10
The 1" stacked CMOS sensor wont change these come out of their semi-pro camcorders. There's no longer lens with lower F-stop on a 1" sensor so that wont change. Maybe a price drop ($999 pls) or a flip around display.
Aaaargh this bloody weather. I need some good light. It’s not often I go out with a specific topic in mind to shoot, due to time constraints. I do carry my mk iv in the car everyday whilst at work and try and grab a bit of time to take pictures if the opportunity arises. But the weather has been against me. Here’s hoping for a great spring.
yep weather same here bloody sucks at the moment i feel your pain aswell. im looking forward to some frosty mornings blue skies and calm
There's one question I have in mind, how much of a difference does it make on the RX 10 IV compared to the RX 10 & 10 II while shooting in low light scenarios at maximum zoom end (f4.0 vs f2.8 constant through the range)? Would you say it's a big trade off? Or does the RX 10 IV have a trick up it's sleeve? Or does it just not matter in particle use scenarios? Both in stills and videography. I have the RX 10 as I have mentioned in my previous posts and I love the fact that it's light intake doesn't change as you zoom in. Kindly shed some light on it or even better if you could make a comparison video on this topic educating your followers better. You are awesome keep it up.
Umer Khayyam Khan no idea I’ve only ever had the rx10iv but the rx10iv is a much better camera all in all . The rx10iv is all about speed and af speed compared to the earlier versions . Focusing speed doesn’t ever change really at any End of the zoom range. Light wise it works well it’s at 24 to about 50 is f2.4 then f3.5 at 70-100 then it’s f4 right to 600mm . I’ve never worried about it’s performance it works very well
@@sjm.photos hmm I see. Well not just speed, is overall picture quality is also much superior to the RX 10, not sure if it's better than the RX 10 II and that too in all lighting conditions so far as I have gathered from my online research. The corresponding f numbers you've shared do help so thanks for that. I wish to get the latest in RX10 whenever I can. Still if you do ever get a chance then go consider making such a comparison video. It might as well be the first as I haven't seen any other so far.
Good take, I love mine. No major complaints so far, just a few minor ones. Wishing for a better EVF, I have difficulty with manual focus on subjects like the moon...the moon of all things...lol
Have you set a custom button to zoom in on manual focus
@@sjm.photos I have not, when I go to focus I've been using the auto zoom that happens, or I try to hold down the magnifying icon.
Thnx Stuart, I bought this rx10 m4 yesterday after looking at your comprehensive and usefull videos. One question. Did you put a screen protector on the lcd screen?. I hope Sony already included this in the design ...
Nope no screen protector ive never scratched mine
I've used my mark iv now for around 4 years, its been the most superb camera I've ever used, way better than anything I had in my old SLR days and a perfect field camera where weight was important - with the one amazing lens to do everything. Its been to Africa on safari, the Arctic and many other extreme places from freezing to serious humidity. Fantastic the whole way. yesterday I was using it as usual, and suddenly the screen and eye viewer went dark - all the data is still visible, but no image coming through either...its like the sensor has failed. The camera wants to take long exposures as it thinks its in a dark situation...almost like the lens cap is on (which its not). Has my camera finally carcked it? Should I buy a new one or is this fixable? Probably well over 50,000 photos taken on it. if a markV was around the corner, there is only two things I'd like upgraded - love the F stop to go to 22, and not just 16 and for the ISO to go higher, and a tad less grainy at the 12,000 (That said I usually shoot at ISO 1000 and well less). But I know on both counts I'm lucky to have what the Mark IV already offers!
that has seen some action for sure can you see if the shutter is still closed its a leaf shutter so lt looks like the aperture blades normally. it could be jammed closed. go into menus and reset the camera a reinitialisation which will take it back to the day it came from the factory. firmware will stay the same but you will lose all custom settings. but will also recalibrate everything if that doesnt work its off to sony service centre. for a look. but for example a new lens is £650 to replace not sure if the shutter mech is part of the lens. hope that helps
@@sjm.photos Thanks Stuart, That was extremely helpful. I did the system reset, resent my own settings after that - no luck. I think what you say with the closed shutter is probably right....I took it in just now to an approved repairer and they also said what you did, probably stuck shutter. I'll let you know when it comes back. It will be in the Galapagos and Amazon in 3 months time!! (I also carry a backup).
good luck hope its fixed without to much cost
Hi stew .. my Sony ex 10 dropped .. now jammed makes the horrible noise .. i’m not gonna send it in. I can’t go that long without my camera. I’ll go crazy because it’s in two days and I’m like Eric Cartman right now. Feel like it’s been 10 years but the question to ask you because you probably are by far away the expert and you have boots on the ground experience disassembling the camera see if probably an idea of the inner internal workings if you were like in a desperate situation to try one thing like I’ve been trying to turn it on turn off I went through all the reset take the battery out a position or maybe I should try to pop it back in place whatever it is really hard. I turn it off and let the camera sit up. It will jam down like three times in a row like it will try to close itself with force three times in a row but like only at like a quarter or half inch at a time they will go all the way down and then it will try to bring itself back up. It will bump up like a quarter inch and then drop right back down drop up and then go back up a quarter inch and then come right back down, I was wondering if you had any idea what I should do I don’t care if I gotta throw it up in the air and catch it. I’ll try anything at this point thanks man.
Its about £650 for a new lens which is what it will need. Either that or buy another camera id say
Think it's still worth it in 2021 or is the rx10M5 just around the corner?
its still worth it is an amazing camera still gives me the results but still hoping the v5 is soon as mine is used and abused with over 320000 shots taken with it and mines been dropped bashed soaked covered in sand and more im in need of the next one lol
Like you, I've had my rx10m4 for 2 years and love it, I don't use my 1Dsmk2 much any more.
One thing I did run into was the shutter half way down sticking which freezes the camera.
I searched and found peterlution's youtube about it last month while I was traveling, and was able to restore operation using both a hairdryer and finger tapping.
I did need to do it twice though.
Recently I updated to 2.0 firmware and it's fine, but just today, the shutter button problem happened again as I was miles from home.
No hairdryer, but lots of finger tapping on the shutter button restored it in time to photograph a golden eagle feeding 30 meters away.
I have never had a camera with a problem like this, I hope they can fix this before the next model comes out.
I also wonder how long to apply the hairdryer, I used 30 sec each time (long enough?)
I enjoy your videos and always learn something new when I watch them.
i think its because they kept the old style shutter button which can get crap in it because it has the old plunger screw in shutter release. not used one of those in 25 years lol ive had one shutter button failure before on a nikon dslr but was replaced. mine has done the sticky thing ones or twice but gone away since . hope yours is ok thanks for watching and the kind words. , join my facebook page. link in my about bit or on my website. would love to see the eagle photos
I have a folder of bird photos taken with the RX10, photos.app.goo.gl/PXC8t4R853Y5pRsE2
The eagle picture is in there now, FYI.
I do not participate in facebook... sorry.
@@rickb6029 Thats cool your photos are amazing some brilliant images there
Thank you
Good video. My first Sony i buy 4 years ago, the RX10m1, and want now to update to the Rx10 m4. Is it better to wait for the m5 of better now buy with cashback the m4. Greetings Jan
Hard to say as we don't know what's going to be in the mkV. Better wait until it's out though as the price of the mkIV will drop once the mkV comes out.
Its doesnt matter if the new version does come this year the rx10iv is still an amazing camera.
@@sjm.photos I'm tempted to go with an upgrade if there are some important improvements, but I might just wait as well. It is indeed amazing as it is.
@@jefo2405 it can only get better :)
@@sjm.photos No doubt! I'm secretly hoping the improvements are going to be worth a guesstimated £1500 though ;). I think I'll suspend all further speculation until it is out.
We’ll see what the model V will bring.
fingers crossed its soon
I got the camera, based a great deal on your recommendation. I really like it. There are two things that I would see changed but these are pretty specific to my issues. I’m trying to not only there in the camera but some basic photography things. So I set up a shot with the camera in aperture mode so that I could one by one click the aperture ring and see what each picture look like. Because you can read everything you want to but you have to actually experience what it does. The biggest issue in doing this is every time I click the aperture ring I move the zoom ring. This is my fat fingers not a folder the camera, so I kind of wish I could just turn the zoom ring off while I’m doing this.
I also have trouble with the control wheel/rotary dial. Again this is kind of my issue. I have a bit of numbness from nerve damage in my right thumb And I can’t always feel the wheel. And so I have to actually look at it to make sure my thumb is on it. When you’re looking quickly it can be hard to see. I actually kind a wish it was white.
But again these are my issues.
in the menus swap the zoom from rear ring to front ring then the rear ring does manual focus instead, you mean the dial on the back of the camera right of the screen. tipex it ? would then be white but non permentant in the long run. could be removed with alcohol later if needed.?
18 months on i don't think they'll produce these anymore
who knows what will happen
@@sjm.photos i hope I'm wrong i just can't see it happening, I'm happy with the 4, a great camera to take out when you don't need anything specific.
@@MrPetebuster1 yep totally what i dont want to do really is buy a new rx10iv if mine dies id like to see some updates i guess we will all see or not see something some time lol
17:25 - Stuart, it's fantastic you made this discovery and shared with all. Immense appreciation for your work.
The dimming of the rx10iv monitor in video mode was driving me nuts when shooting in bright daylight. Can't wait to test the app in my surf videography. I don't anticipate the lag between the phone monitor and the camera monitor to be too severe as I typically do slower pans. But we'll see. 🤙
hope its all good now
I understand if you put the camera in single point focus, the camera lens will zoom and you can shoot at24 FPS.👍 The noise issue does bother me a lot .I see some results on You Tube that tell me “ No Way. “ what are your thoughts. REALLY ? Thanks.
Remember there are some shit photographers out there with no idea how to use a camera properly 😂 you can have the camera in wide afc and it will shoot 24fps all day long . Its an amazing camera used it 3 .5 years now. Yes noise can be a little issue at low light but using something like topaz de noise ai has shown it doesnt matter i can use upto iso1600 with no issues
Thanks for your speedy and sincere reply. I’m really struggling over this decision as I’m not flush by any means. Thanks.👍👏🏻
@@robertbohnaker9898 i think its all about what we really need. for me the best decision buying the rx10iv to sit along side my a7r3 and a7r4 was awesome if anything when i dont want to carry a big bag of kit i just want to go take photos with ease. and my new video which is just rendering now might give you more of an insight why i love it.
Have you done any tests with the JPG ClearImage Zoom?
dont bother all it does is crop in. i always shoot raw no clearimage zoom and crop in if i need to
@@sjm.photos thanks
CLEAR IMAGE ZOOM (STILL IMAGE)20M Approx. 50x/10M Approx. 70x/5M Approx. 100x/VGA Approx. 380x CLEAR IMAGE ZOOM (MOVIE)4K: Approx. 37.5x; HD: Approx. 50x
Handy for video which is 25x normally.
The New RX10M5 should have the new curved sensor that allows more ligh to be gathered therefore, it'll have better low light capabilities and will allow much higher ISO's with reduced image noise.
The main reason there hasn't been a mk5 version is because if one were to include today's technology within the camera it would easily cost well over $3000 and I am sure they know they wouldn't sell many of them as who is going to spend over $3,000 for a bridge camera.
I think they have waited until now because the a9 was released then the rx10iv was so i expect the A1 now released so the rx10iv will have tech from that in it
@@sjm.photos
Yes. I was thinking the same thing -- fully articulating screen, higher resolution EVF and Panel 👍
Also, with more tech comes more battery drain therefore, a larger capacity battery will be necessary 👍
deffo needs the new z battery in it
What new curved sensor ? Does such thing exists ?
My playback button has stopped working. Any suggestions as to how to fix it? Camera only just over 2yrs old.
a warm hair dryer on it warm it up and push it a few times and hopefully it brings it back to life. most of the time grease and oils from our fingers get in the switches and stop contacts hope that works for you. , once done turn camera back on and try . if not its a repair job. or turn on auto review or you might beable to program a different button
@@sjm.photos cheers Stuart, I'll give that a shot.
@@MrGjcannon did it on my zoom lever last week as zooming with lever had become jerky now perfect again
@@sjm.photos mine got pretty wet a month ir so ago and it started acting up. On the day it still took pictures but wouldn't change format or let me view shots. It recovered after drying out for about 3 days.
Also it ran up and down the menu like you mention.
Hi Sturt , real world A7riv plus 70 200 2.8 and crop or rx10 at 600mm :)
well the a7riv is a nut machine and that would be a good way of doing it a cropped in 20mp from the 60mp sensor will look great and probably better than the rx10iv in some respects but for me its the complete insanity of the rx10iv and its range. and speed having the rx10iv in the bag aswell as the a7riv and other kit allows me to have a 24-600mm f2.4-f4 lens that is so fast at what it does and no lens swapping i honesllty miss nothing nowadays
Stuart James Photography cheers for the reply , patently wanting for the new one I guess , love the channel btw :)
Anyone able to get TTL flash or TTL monolight using support TTL transmitter on camera's MIS?
Also did you get 2,000 normal flash sync with all flashes or monolights?
Didn't sync with Profoto & Interfit.
No problem using them on Sony A & E mount cameras.
i use the pixel king pros the hss flash triggers on my rx10iv and a7riv and they work fine i never use ttl always manual i want control not a flat image
@@sjm.photos Based on my questions, they didn't work.
And sure your Sony A7r IV was able to get 1/2,000 (2000) normal flash sync. Not HSS.
If I handed you a say Hasselblad 500CM, do you really think you can control do the exposure correctly?
Or using a Nikon F1 or Canon F1 with no meter, what are your changes of getting correct exposure if subject is moving in & out from light to shade?
My uncle once flown a Harrier & F-35, he said no one can fly without the aid of computer.
To hit a target going at 1.6 mach without the computer is zero.
He or she says that he (she) can have better control by just flying it in full manual is still on the ground.
@@angelisone maximum sync speed on the rx10iv is 1/2000s . Ive been shooting manual for 28 years and possibly used ttl only a hand full of times. My bowens studio strobes ans rotolight aeos and 2x sony hvlf 60rm all work with the rx10iv but i have only ever used them in manual.
@@sjm.photos I understand that you are using and like shooting in manual.
But when using TTL, the RX10 IV has serious problems.
Our three RX10 IV have been modified to become IR (infrared) so are our TTL/M IR monolights.
Our Hasselblad H6D, Fuji GFX-100 & Canon EOS-1Dx Mark III work fine.
The RX10 IV is used over other because our ATG MRMC is not attached, nor do I want to pay for the RX10 IV to be compatible with ATG MRMC.
But it benefits for us is able to shoot wirelessly with zooming & live-view thru our pc without overheating. Shooting indoors at 2000 shutter speed @ F11 does set us apart from other pros.
The screen automatically dims when shooting 4K video because the small battery can not deliver enough current necessary to run both at the same time.
An external power pack should alleviate the problem.
Only if you have it in auto brightness or turned up i have my screens set to manual 0 so it doesnt change evet
Great camera. But why can't Sony use DNG files? Eish...
Sony love to be different and not really an issue
@@sjm.photos tis an issue if you're running older system and software.
@@gordonblues843 simples upgrade lol, they release updated software and raw drivers anyway.
