    After watching a lot of video on your channel, I finally made the decision and purchased the Sony A7IV and the 200-600mm, coming from an A7III it is another step forward. I have now gone through the menus and adopted a number of your settings and I am already very happy with it.

    The practical use videos are what I like. Sitting in the studio videos are nothing more than sales generating marketing video for a product, and plenty of people already cover that method. Be the advocate for folks who already have gear but want to tips and tricks, we're not pros. I like how I can read the part numbers on your products, tripods, backpack, etc. Its seems unnecessary, but even showing your kit on a scale before you head out for a vlog would help us understand what all "this stuff" really weighs on the back/shoulders/waist. Thanks.

    Love ur "chilling positive attitude" and humour. And the "filming" of your videos also always super cozy to watch. Keep up the good work 👌

    I notice you are using what looks like the Sony Pro-i as a monitor. HOw is that working for you>? Can you do a video on that please? So far for me, it drains the phone like in 3 minutes from 65% to null, and I had one or two other issues I can't remember. Can you please do a video on using it because when it was working it was WAY better than the built in screen.

    I would really like to see a video of you talking a bit about the life of a professional wild life photographer. I mean, I'm sure you take a lot of nice photos etc., just like many other do, but how and from whom do you actually get paid for this? Magazines, TV, etc.?
    I live in Sweden myself, so sure I know of "Mitt i naturen" and perhaps a few documentaries that are Sweden-produced, and maybe there are a few magazines. No critique against you, I'm just curious, but I just don't see a viable path to make a living of this? Would be really interesting to hear your and other pros thoughts on this.

    • @ollenilssonen
      @ollenilssonen  Год назад

      The thing is that I don’t see myself as a professional wildlife photographer. I do this full time, but my main income
      comes from RUclips and paid Partnerships with brands.
      So I guess my title would be in the lines of ”content creator” more than Wildlife Photographer. Haha!
      I do however get paid when selling prints of my work and I know other pro wildlife photographers that sell their work to nature documentaries and so on!
      So to sum it up, I guess I make a living of making content around wildlife photography, more than wildlife photography being my main living!😃

      @@ollenilssonen Ah, OK, thanks for quick answer and info! :)
      I guess that's how it is for many photographers today, unless they directly work for someone or something, like modelling. I still think it could make for an interesting video topic to discuss what to do with your photos or videos, in case you want to take it further than just a personal album, and thus perhaps at least get some of your (most often) expensive investment back.

    I just bought an A7IV and Sony 200-600 and that video really helped! For info, I just discovered that there is a shutter/silent mode in shooting menu. It removes also the sound of the shutter in addition to the focus.
    The only setting I don’t get is to disable the focus in the shutter. Is it to save battery? What is the purpose? At the end, yes we can press the AF on button but is it not the same? ok when we are in manual focus, we have to maintain the AEL button otherwise the shutter refocus and overwrite. Is it for that?

    nice tuto. i hesitate to use BBF with afon because people like Mark Galler say it becomes obsolete method with two buttons,... thumb occupied... but Pierre Lambert, ... use BBF and can easily stop pressing afon and be in "af-s" mode and recompose. I tried to set, like video, AFON on AF/MF toggle while keeping half press shutter to focus for af-c and frankly, i don't understand the difference between AFON BBF and half shutter+AF/MF for any situation architecture, football,... Can you explain ? also explain why having AFON BBF you added a MF/AF on AEL (also why hold instead of toggle giving you time to take picture) ?

Dessuten er brukermanualen ikke god på å forklare HVORFOR man gjør diverse innstillinger, kun HVORDAN man gjør det. Filmen din er god, du forklarer på en veldig god og enkel måte hva og hvorfor du gjør diverse innstillinger. Denne filmen vil jeg nok gå tilbake til flere ganger. (Jeg har samme kamera og objektiv som du bruker her)

I have the A7iii and the sony 200-600mm tele zoomlens but i just dont if i should switch to the a7iv, it doesnt seem that much better, maybe its because post production these days is just crazy with all the software out there

By the way I only wish I could present things the way you do. I was a US Navy Photographer back when film was king 1971 to 1975. I did shoot a little film in the form of 16mm Bell and Howell the type we used in the Navy. I started taking pictures with a Brownie and my 1st real Camera was a Canon FT I bought with money I earned delivering the News Papers in 1965 and then took photos of my High School days. Keep up the great work I now have the A7iv and also the A7riv. I sold my A9 so I could buy the A7iv.

This is possibly a stupid question, but are discs still included with a new purchase, or easier to use Photoshop?

    great video Ollie, this is what i need , learning these functions/settings, for my A7iv and 200-600, i tried to do some full moon pics last Friday with it and some turned out alright, the weight is too much for my hands with my carpal tunnel so i am going to buy a gimbal for my tripod similar to what you use and there is much more stability, just a good gear investment and the snow is finally melting here, I saw my first pair of Canada Geese this morning , so that is a good sign and we even had wild turkeys wandering around in the city last week in a park area and along the river, spring has sprung 👍

      That’s nice!
      A gimbla is definitely a great investment!
      Yes spring is close, so excited!!

    What's with the phone mounted in the flash foot? Is that for watching porn?

    Fel märke men ändå intressant se hur andra ställer in sina funktioner på kameran 👍
