    I just like to watch even that I don't have the camera (but I dream to have this camera). Now I'm with a Sony crop sensor and investing in good full frame glass. So when I save enough, I will buy it. But thank you Jared for been so helpful to the community! Your work is awesome.

    Hi Jared, I can't begin to express how grateful I am to you for you taking the time and trouble to put such an excellent tutorial together. 90 minutes of my time very well spent. I've just bought mine and the AF has blown me away (coming from an X100F, which I still adore). A stellar performance from you will enable me to come to terms with the camera's capabilities so much quicker than trial and error, more often error, in my experience. I'm sure I now have it 95% set up the way I want it, with just a little tinkering to do (hey, that's half the fun of ownership). Top man! Thanks again, Greetings from London, ''Hippo''

    40:58 there is another reason: fully manual optics obviously do not get recognized so you have to enable this setting since the camera thinks that there is no lens attached

    A note about the 26:00 aspect ratios: When you select a ratio that is not 3:2 (the full sensor ratio), all it does is adds a crop in camera. When you bring the cropped file into editing, the original full aspect ratio is actually still there, and you can change the crop back to the full image size if you want.
    Thats why I'm fine with changing my aspect ratio for composition reasons, knowing that the whole sensor is still capturing at 3:2

I also applaud that you didn’t push your customization, many channels did. Subscribe and liked

If I use the a7 IV in apsc mode, which is going to take better photos? I believe the a7 h has 16 mp on apsc. Excluding mega pixels the a7 is a superior camera so I’m wondering if mega pixels even matter?

      @@Lilturf214 I've done comparisons since I posted this. DxO Photolab is a very solid replacement for Lightroom. I use it for what I would have done in Lightroom, and occasionally (for more experimental/non-realistic goals usually) do further post processing in Luminar Neo.
      I'm editing 33MP RAW files from an A7 IV, and have a very small catalog in Neo so far. It is working well when I need it, on a Ryzen 9 3900X with fast SSDs and plenty of memory.
      No idea if it will continue to perform well with thousands of images, or on larger 66MP or 105MP images.
