Jason, I believe A7III has the tracking function too. Set Center Lock-on AF in Fn button. Start recording and turn it on and tap the screen on the subject you want to track. :) Hope it helps the rest of the A7III users out there.
Jason Vong Not arguing - just curious. Are there comparisons out there? Is there a drastic difference? I’ve only used A7 iii and A7r iii. Center lock-on has worked really well.
I just did the switch from Canon to Sony and I'm watching all your videos about camera setup, autofocus and lenses suggestion, they are all very helpful, Thank You!
My Sony a6400 just came in the mail today and I JUST opened it!! It’s charging and once it’s ready I’m going to rewatch your full setup video and this video :D so excited!
I am currently using older Sony cameras.a5000 and a6000 simply cuz it's what I can afford currently however of all the videos I have watched about lenses and focusing and settings. Yours have been the most educational no nonsense and comprehensive for someone like myself who knows nothing about photography. Thank you for your approach and how u have made all aspects of photography make sense without convoluting the subject
@@JasonVong Great! When you do come again hope that I can meet you in Japan. Next time please come to Kyoto you will able to take an awesome video for sure.
Wow, this was incredibly helpful. I have an A7iv but this is still so relevant. The focus modes section was exactly what I've been trying to understand. Thanks Jason!
Hey Jason. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS. I learned SO MUCH in these few minutes vs countless other RUclipsrs whom don’t explain the settings or even how to capture the composition. Can’t wait for the next one!
Jason, your vids got me off the "Auto" mode. Purchased A6400; Sony's autofocus ... best there is now I understand how to take full advantage of it! thank-you ! got a new subscriber buddy !
Jason the way you explain tech info combined with stunning imagery to illustrate effects is inspiring. I recently invested in an A6400 and a couple of lenses and refer to your set up and operations guides often.. Much thanks to you and Vanessa. Piece!
I’m so happy I found your channel. Focusing in video mode has been a mystery to me. Thanks for helping clear things up. Keep up with the excellent topics.
Super quick &to the point. Thank you & you’ve earned a subscriber! Just got an a7iii after upgrading from a T2 - wish I bought this camera years ago! Looking forward to learning more in your other tutorials!
I'm definitely going to use the AF/MF toggle more often when shooting video. As always, great video and thanks for doing these tutorials! Can't wait to watch the rest.
Really like your clear presentations. You speak clearly and to the point. I have been using Sony a7 cameras for run and gun production, to compliment our bigger HD video cameras. Thanks for producing these videos.
4:30 is a great tip. like your videos alot. for me withA9 I use touch tracking and go behind the tree then back out and if i do it fast enough it doesn't lose focus. but this is a great idea
Thanks Jason! I’m a photography and had a songwriter friend ask Me to shoot an acoustic music video. Shot it Monday. Edited it yesterday. So I watched this video going, “oh that would have helped” throughout the whole thing. Lol

@@JasonVong Yes! I enjoy using it. Before using the 6400, I used Canon M50. Of course the M50 is much more easier to use. The low light performance of a6400 is much better. And the range of lenses also makes me happier. But of course, it spends me much more time to learn the Sony menu. (Oh! My God!) Anyway, thanks Jason from Hong Kong.
Me first time owning A6400 and not knowing anything about old sony cameras, i thought the realtime tracking is the main AF sytem of sony. I was shock when i switch to 120p mode and the real time tracking is not available (I'm used to canon's dual pixel af which always have box to where it is focusing). It's funny because i choose the a6400 over the m50 bacause of the af even in 120fps, I thought i wasn't able to have Af in 120 lmao. Now i know that there is really a focus modes. I'm such a beginner Sony user lol, Thank you.
So my face detection settings won't allow me to turn it on it says it is because the file format XAVC 4K so can you not have AF on if you are using the video in 4k?
@@JasonVong hope you can also provide tutorials on equipment to use for basic interviews and got to do it. I just got my first sony a6400, I am a canon user, and learned almost everything from your channel especially the setup guide :)
Wow! This is by far the best explanation an example I found!! And I went through tons of videos. You’re soo straight to the point I can actually grasp what you’re saying and remember stuff . Most of the other videos give you wayyyy too much info that it throws off the mind and the focus . Great job! I will be subscribing. Excited to learn from you !

it does! unfortunately it doesnt work as well as the a9 and a6400
@@JasonVong Yeah :( But better than nothing I guess haha
Thanks for this, as this is also available on a7Riii

And this channel (and series) are just what I need to learn and practice!!

FYI: Sony firmware >v3 also adds the Tracking feature to A7 III and A7R III
Awesome, I was about to ask.
You really are clear and concise in your presentation. And you move quickly without a lot of rambling. Much appreciated!
Jason, this is what I was looking for for more than 1 year. Your Tutorials are FANTASTIC. A BIG "Thank you" from Germany. Stay safe !!
Touch tracking is the most insane feature for me! I wish that my a6300 could have it!
This is maybe the best video you’ve ever made. Super helpful.
Still in Japan? If you come to Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe please let me know. It will be awesome if we can meet in Japan.
I was in Japan in April! But I will be back soon :)
@@JasonVong Great! When you do come again hope that I can meet you in Japan. Next time please come to Kyoto you will able to take an awesome video for sure.

Jason. You are natural actor. Just subscribed your channel
so grateful for every one of your videos! THANK YOU
Always well done! This is one of those vids I can watch a couple times since nailing this Sony focus can be a bit complicated.
After all these years still an amazing video. Thanks brother!
Free lesson is a real deal sir Jason thanks more power.

とても素晴らしい
親切な説明です

That’s what I said! Lol jk, hi friend!
Hi Jason, What about for still photography what would suggest to use?
Yeah, that would be helpful to know as well
Yeah that’s true. Jason would you recommend for still and portraits?
nice trick about the center focus!! smart!
Great video. Quick, concise, and simple. My favorite Sony Reviewer! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
humbling to hear that, thank you thank you
Love it that you made the focus brackets orange. I can't wait until Sony does that!
they technically did! haha I got it from my a7rII
@@JasonVong I'm trying out the Zone Focus Area but am not seeing those orange brackets. Am I missing something?
This Video is everything I've been looking for, for my A7III. It was easy to understand. Thank you.
I gotchu man!
thanks very easy to understand, everyone else makes it so complicated
Traveling to Japan in September to visit my daughter! Hopefully I'll get some great photos and video!
Helpful! got a shoot today and really needed these tips!
I learned so much! Thank you! ♡
Very helpful, thank you! I was struggling with my autofocus settings until now.
Super quick &to the point. Thank you & you’ve earned a subscriber! Just got an a7iii after upgrading from a T2 - wish I bought this camera years ago! Looking forward to learning more in your other tutorials!
You’re killing it Jason. Loving your content. So on point.
can you make a video showcasing how to shoot videos with the sigma 16mm 1.4 combined with the a6400 as their is no IBIS and no oss on the sigma!
I used a gimbal back when I was shooting with that combo in Hong Kong
I'm definitely going to use the AF/MF toggle more often when shooting video. As always, great video and thanks for doing these tutorials! Can't wait to watch the rest.
thank u so much. This is the most imformative and clearly explained video of sony autofocus. i was really struggling with it, Thank u !!!
Thank pro, good video 👍💖

Thanks Jason this helped me alot you are the best

Good job Jason, loving your series
thank you
Thanks Jason, Big help with this Sony focus walk through from 2019.
I don't know why I didn't find this channel sooner!
At 5:10 why would you make this function not available on a7iii??? It is a higher than the 6400 so can't this be implemented through software update?
Your videos are awesome and worth to watch sir 🙏😀
Thanks for the outstanding tutorial.
Very useful and thank you jason for the wonderful explanation.
Great information. Easy to understand
Awesome video as usual ! Can't wait for the BEST Cinematic Settings and the Gimbal Moves

Lifesaver thank you bro!
Such useful tips! Thanks for this series Jason - excited for the rest of the episodes!
Love your videos. Just purchased a a7riii and DJI RSC 2. I'll be throwing up some videos. Using your recommendations.
Can you explain in your video at 3:15 how to move that box around for focus to center?
Extremely helpful.
Great video! Keep it coming man
So my face detection settings won't allow me to turn it on it says it is because the file format XAVC 4K so can you not have AF on if you are using the video in 4k?
I still don't get it why people haven't subscribe to your channel - you put such a good content!!!!
Interestingly, I have the realtime touch focus tracking in my 7 years old NEX-5T. It's such a feature-packed model, ahead of its time!
Awesome tutorial sir! Learning alot
