    On Sony A7 IV, you can backup all camera settings to SD card.
    You can restore them on another A7 IV !

    Outstanding video-outstanding.
    Just got my A7iv and this has helped me enormously in terms of a guide to go forward with. Have my first pre wedding shoot with it on Saturday, then Monday for another, then a wedding next Saturday. I’d love to see you do a flash set up video if you have time please!
    Outstanding content, best Sony guides on YT.

    I have a Custom Shoot button set to something I call "Mayday Mayday". It is full auto, no restrictions on things like ISO range. Everything is programmed to let me get 'that shot, no matter what'.
    I've only used it once. Lights went off and the ceremony room went pretty dark as Bride was half way down the aisle. I pressed my mayday button because I didn't have the 2 or 3 seconds needed to dial in the new settings. Very handy! :-)

    Good morning Magic, can you do a video on shooting a group photo of 5 or more people of a bridal party.. demonstrating the best focus mode to use ... with the a7iv camera.. I kinda struggle with this.. should I turn off my eye af. When I do group of people.
    Thanks Ray

    • @MagicWeddingPhotographer
      @MagicWeddingPhotographer  Год назад +3

      Hey Ray! What I do is just focus and track main person in the middle (bride/groom). And in order to make sure everyone is in focus just extend depth of field by using higher f stop like f/2.8-4

    Hi , thanks for your great videos,- can you connect external flashes via cable in this camera? I've been having a lot of issues with this camera and the hotshoes--sent it to Sony /buying the multiple part involve fort this hot shoes/ changing all godox flashes for the new metal hot shoes- and at the end this camera is really unreliable for photography. hotshoes becomes loose frequently and do not recognize flashes when turning the camera up and down. the only way is to connect external flashes via cable to it. I don't know how to do it since it doesn't have a sync port. any help will be appreciated.Thanks
    ohhh have you tried by multifuntion port?

When i move it to my computer it’s looks more similar with the monitor preview. Maybe you can help me with your experience while take a picture with sony fullframe because this is my first full frame camera. Thanks

      Yup, it does "cut" the bokeh balls in certain situations, but I did not find it problematic in real life scenario to be honest

    • @MagicWeddingPhotographer
      @MagicWeddingPhotographer  2 года назад +2

      Not at all! It feels actually amazing, I do prefer 33mp over 42mp, I can fit more photos on cards and it still gives me plenty for cropping. And all the other features of A7IV feel way superior over A7RIII - there’s no way back.

    • @MagicWeddingPhotographer
      @MagicWeddingPhotographer  2 года назад

      @@danielpierce8136 RIV is way better than RIII, but would still probably be keen to move down to 33mpx. Depending what’s your real motivation for switch here. From RIII there is plenty af, body, dual fast card slot, EVF, screen. While from RIV it’s gonna be mostly megapixels, ISO performance, video.

    Have you found a large amount of noise in your shadows on the a7IV? I’ve experienced it with mine, and have seen Reddit threads of people experiencing the same thing.
    I feel like pushing my iso anywhere higher than 400 is a no-go if I want a clean image

      Mechanical shutter prevents from rolling shutter effect for slower readout sensors as rolling shutter applies for stills too for [fast] moving objects.
