2:21 I wouldn’t recommend getting two different types of cards. If you’re getting V90 cards, make them both V90, because if you get a V60 and a V90, you’re dumbing down the V90 card down to V60 speeds when shooting.
I have had my A7RV get hot and drain the battery completely empty while it was powered off. It has also not powered back on after turning it off a few times. The only solution was to remove and then reinsert the battery. I searched the forums to see if anyone else has had this problem and apparently it is a problem several people have had. One person said he turned off the Dust Prevention feature and hasn’t had the problem again. Have you heard of or had this problem?
Thanks for a fellow Buckeye down in Trumbull County. Any favorite landscape locations in the LAND that you like? Went to Tinkers Creek waterfall in Bedford couple weeks ago. Beautiful.
Just bought Sony a7Rv. Won't get it for week or so, upgraded from Sony a7ii. Battery life on the ii was terrible. Getting like 40-60 shots on a battery, hopefully better on the TV. How do you like color science on the TV? Sony has been knocked for colors compared to Canon in past.
I find hilarious the concerns about the sensor (which is very well protected by a layer of glass) and the suggestion to use the shutter to "protect" it. The sensor you can clean but that shutter... oh boy...
Helpful video. Just my 2 cents about low light and camera companies' marketing. This camera it's actually better in low light than the a7siii for photos. One can just download (from dpreview's site) photos taken at 12800 iso with these 2 cameras, resize the a7r5's photo to the same size of the a7siii's photo (just to be fair!) and compare them. The a7r5 is hands down better then the a7siii, even if you resize the image. It has way more detail and way less noise. For video though the a7r5 just discard a lot of information using line skipping and pixel binning so the results will be worse than the a7siii that uses the whole surface of the sensor and has (a sort of) dual iso
Excellent video, very good tips. Thanks for the information. I liked the information you give regarding the weights of the files, since others don't talk much about it. And yes, they are very heavy. The uncompressed raw 130 MB... Lossless compressed raw medium between 35 and 50 MB... And JPEG between 8 and 20 MB. I would have liked the big and small lossless compressed raw data. Just one doubt... There I learned that when using compressed raw without loss, whether large, small or medium, the resolution lowers... is this true? I mean, they say that the megapixels are lowering, they say that they would no longer be 61MPX photos, but rather photos of approximately 24, 14 and 8. That's right? We would like to hear your honest answer
You say you're from Cleveland Ohio. I went over to the pixel connection right outside of Cleveland and trade it in some lenses that I didn't use and my a7riv and picked up the Sony A7R5 last spring. Love the camera.I am about 3 hours away. That's the closest camera store to me. A lot of new photographers think that if you get a new camera or the best camera you're going to take amazing photos. But you need good lighting and know what you're doing to get great photos.
Thats awesome! I've bought from pixel connection in Avon a few different times! I'm mostly going to dodd camera in Cleveland, but sometimes they don't have everything in stock or have weird hours. I love my A7R V, the resolution is amazing
You can use IBIS with any manual lens on the A7RV and most other modern Sony cameras - you have to manually select the focal length though. If you swap lenses (or are using a manual focus cine zoom) and don't remember to update the focal length in the stabilization settings, your image is going to look very wobbley. If you're using IBIS and changing focal length, then be very dilligent about updating the the settings
Thats the worst advice of this video. You should learn to clean your sensor (the glass on top of it) any time, but you are risking your very fragile shutter blades. And what do you think the dust will go from the blades? It will damage them, or in better case itt will fall into the camera. I have seen many shutter failures because of this function. You need to learn how to clean your sensor.
For me I like to Bracket and doing the basic 3 at +/- 2 and then the tried and true sunrise/se and blue hour on a tripod 5 at +/- 2EV BUT as an experiment, digital images are free, I did a sunset Hand Held at 5 at +/- 2 ev with Stabilization on and it worked just fine all images even those very slow SS were good. As a note all captures were fast and the sun was so far below the horizon it was basically Blue Hour and got pin point stars. If you have ever tried the full moon over a city getting a sharp in focus moon the 5 shot is needed and the settings are ISO/SS 125 and F 8 to 11 select for focus. .5 sec is the start center. As long as both ISO/SS are equal say a faster SS the 5 shot bracketing will work and the moon does move getting each image when processing ghosting but the faster SS reduces Ghosting just nice to play with at night. Also say a night when a crescent moon is setting but with earth shine on the dark areas this 5 bracketing will allow editing of the the dark area and say when a lunar eclipse you have the dark area before the full eclipse this also will allow editing and brightening. Just play time stuff but use a tripod. Also yes the A7SM3 is the King of low at 12MP BUT the A7RM5 at 61MP is also, just use PhotoPills Spot Stars and you will find the higher MP camera just needs Faster SS for Pin Point stars say 10s vs 20s to top that off when using a F 1.8 or 1.4 it also requires a added SS so then a 5s or even a 2s!! YES the image is still bright as day with stars. Why use the A7RM5 for Astro MW, well the MW Arch panorama can be done with say a 14mm f 1.8 or even the 24mm F 1.4 in less than 90s making run and shoot faster for different foreground subjects. The 14mm will allow portrait view arch that is over and beyond your head in July possible. The secret to the speed is keeping in camera NR on and using the stepper on a panorama rig you just go to the next click while NR is processing. I have both A7Smod 1/2/3 and the A7RM5 all have the same brightness at the suggested SS for camera and lens combo when using PhotoPills Spot Stars. I have no Idea why photographers have there image darkened foregrounds
I read your blog post about dual base ISO's on the a7rv at: S-Log3 - 800, 2500 & No Picture Profile - 100, 320... My question is: Is 100, 320 the same for PP11. If not do you know what the dual ISO's are?
Great video, thanks for the info. I'm just starting out with video on my A7R V and I can't get it not to crop. Then when i change to S&Q there seems to be no crop. All I find on the forums is to set my APS_C S35 to off, but the problem is clearly not there. Seems to me you know the answer?
If you’ve set your apsc mode to a custom button, make sure that’s not pressed. There’s an icon of a box inside of another box on the bottom right side of the screen (if I remember correctly, not by my camera right now) otherwise, make sure it’s not selected in your menu, if it’s still not working I’d check the manual for more info
I shoot 60 mp compressed raw all the times. Uncompressed just takes too much space and the image quality is really near to no differences. Really no different.
People don't understand that lossless compression means - by definition - that the image quality or rather binary data (after decompression) is the same. The only thing uncompressed RAW does is take up more space while saving processing power during post processing. Artists aren't technicians and lots of videos try to advocate that uncompressed RAW is better than lossless compression, but that's just isomeric nonsense.
I havent done side by side comparisons with these two cameras specifically, but in general, the larger the sensor's megapixels, the more light it requires. The full frame 12MP sony sensors are great in low light, while the 60+ MP A7RV sensor requires a lot of light. The A7IV is somewhere in the middle
1) 7R5 records 8K in 25p, which is the world's broadcast standard, 24p also, which is 'movie standard'. 2) of course you lose resolution when you crop.

No you're not.
@@POVwithRC yes you are
So polite about it, that I liked.
So cleanly expressed and open with good advice, I subscribed.
Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback and the support!
I love the SD Card section! It is so hard to find proper information as to what video format needs what type of card.
Awesome - glad it was helpful! Thats something that can get overlooked pretty easily when buying SD cards. Their speeds are very different
does it have slog3 i can only find mentions of it from the gamma menu
THanks, Keith. Good info. Have to love the A7R5.

i have questions: if i get the 80gb type a memory it means i can only shoot around 120second video on it
I’m currently shooting with Sony A7R. Does the image stabilisation on Sony A7RV work with third party lenses like Tokina 85mm?
You can use IBIS with any manual lens on the A7RV and most other modern Sony cameras - you have to manually select the focal length though.

Awesome tips!! thank you ! I will watch the other videos in your channel... thanks!👍👍
Thank you for the kind words!! Appreciate the support!
Really great tips. Especially the anti dust feature. I was wondering if it was possible to keep it closed when changing lenses. Subscribed !
For sure, thanks Chollette! And thank you for the support!

I know how to clean my sensor Don. this is just a nice extra feature. Thanks for the passionate info though? lol@@DonRazzino
About the APP bug: have same problem with A7R4 and there is an APP setting called "Setting of the mode dial operation" that fix your problem.

Great video! You forgott to mention that anti dust function doesn't work in silent shooter mode activated.
Thanks blaise, and thanks for pointing that out!
Now you can actually enable it in silent mode too, but it’s still off by default.

great tips bro thx
Thanks, hope it was helpful
I shoot 60 mp compressed raw all the times. Uncompressed just takes too much space and the image quality is really near to no differences. Really no different.
I agree, I've loved shooting the medium compressed raws. Stil a lot of editing room to work with!
Lossless, just takes time to process.
Stunning and brave.
Ganna get myself a T shirt - I shoot (uncompressed) RAW
People don't understand that lossless compression means - by definition - that the image quality or rather binary data (after decompression) is the same.

Much thanks bro, following you on IG as well!!
Thank you man! Appreciate it!
Can you answer why when I take a picture in 1600 ISO, it has a lot of noise. My A7IV does not have that problem. 🤦🏻♂️

@@keith-knittel that’s what I recently read as well.
It has the same pixel density as 26mp aps-c cameras.
1) 7R5 records 8K in 25p, which is the world's broadcast standard, 24p also, which is 'movie standard'.
2) of course you lose resolution when you crop.
I thought there was no crop in 4K 24. Crap, it’s only introduced at 4K 60 and above.?
i think you’re confused. THERE IS A CROP IN 8k 24 NOT 4k 24p
It‘s a very nice cam! But for me. Nikon Z8 is the more balanced option
Great video, I love mine
Thanks Marc, I've been taking the A7R V everywhere with me and loving it so far
Uhmm base iso isn't that high.. the second iso start at 320 (318).. were thid you find the info thats the second base iso that hight?
Hey there Ramon, the ISO's I'm talking about here are for S-Log 3
Isn’t it 3200 like the a7IV?
I am doing hand held 1.6 seconds, clean as F
1.6 seconds??? Thats impressive!
XAVC S 4K - 119.98P Really shoot this
Nice review but those transitions are annoyingly bright and disturbing.I stopped watching it half way through
