the sony lut download link is broken anybody got an alternative
Try this:
support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/support/ilc/movie/en/grading/03.html
Not sure why that site is down. Very odd but I checked and what I just linked are the same files that I use
Just color space transform in davinci resolve.
Curious why you chose the tamron 17-28 over the sigma 16-28 ?
tips as strong as that jawline. thank you, brother!
Ha well-played and thanks, happy to hear that they landed for you
😂
You can tell the effort you put into those videos, especially the visuals - so good, keep up the good work man 🔥🔥
Long time no chat - good to see you in the comments and that means a lot coming from you, thanks
really love you videos, clear and to the point, great job!
Glad you like them - thanks for the note
Straight to the info with very little fluff. Well done. I'm subscribing and liking.
Memory recall was one of the nicest thing I found on the settings of my a7iv you can even have three separate settings in photo, video and S&Q.
Really a nice thing.
Set mine as well, it’s an awesome feature!
Right?! I was like “how didn’t I know about this sooner” when I got my first camera
@@seandewispelaere it helped me so much when I was in „stressed“ situations
quality info mate👌🏼
This channel’s about to blow up! I subbed without even going to your channel. Keep it up bro!
So I made my first docu with the ZVE1, used a lot of ideas from you. Sent you a PM from your website with the link (it's not yet published)
Awesome - I’ll check that form out shortly
Great video! Thanks
Brilliant video thanks for all the tips!
No doubt and thank you for the note
thanks for your work!
No doubt and thanks for the note
Excellent video. Helpful reminders. Thank you!
Thank you and I’m happy to hear that
Thanks Quagmire. They’re really helpful.
thank you. Always inspiring.
You got it and thanks for the note
👍Thanks....really useful info. I'm just now learning how to use my new Sony, so any and all help is appreciated.
Love to hear that - stick with it. It'll all come together
Appreciate all the effort you put into these videos. Recently switched to Sony from Canon and your videos have been a life saver!
a) thank you and I’m happy to hear that I’ve been able to help you
b) welcome to the dark side
Thanks mate! Great video.
Thank you and you got it - thanks for checking it out
Nice tips ,really helps!
Awesome to hear
Thank you so much sir, well done and very informative video 👍
Hey thank you 💯
Dude you seriously put effort into making these videos. Subscribed !
Drey, thank you that means a lot to me and welcome to the channel 🤙
Brilliant!
Glad you liked it, Matt
I set one (or two ?) custom button to Turn Off Display. Don't know what happened but then the AF turned really really slow. I had to Reset the camera (new one too) to Factory Setting. Not touched them since.
Odd - I'd encourage you to try again...hard to say what happened there
THANK YOU
You got it
These are helpful tips. I DO shoot everything in S-Log3 and I use False Color on an external monitor for exposure. I didn't know about camera memory recall and the AWB Standard and White. I'll try that. I usually avoid AWB since the colors are off. I use an AWB Preset. I love the My Menu feature. When I got the FX30, one of the first things I did was add my Pixel Mapping settings there. Great video. Thanks again for the tips.
Hey Alan,
Thanks, good to hear that they were helpful. My man with the SLOG3. Regarding AWB have you tried the AWB Lock feature to help with color shift?
Excellent point about the pixel mapping
Thanks for the note and the kind words, all the best 🤙
Hi man, another great video, the white balance in one of the things I struggle the most with. Will try your setting for sure.
Feed back for you:
- Kudos for the graphic explainer on memory recall. Many RUclipsrs just explain things and skip the basics. They forget that if people know the basics the would not look for help online. You showed how to do it in the menu and you show it on the camera body. It is small details like this that make your videos so viewer friendly. Off course being a photo demi-God I know about the memory recall :)
- Great showing some tips that are good and then asking people to subscribe for quality content. Great pitch. Not the usual, asking people to like and subscribe at the start of the video when the viewer don’t even know if the content is relevant.
Have a good and check your email
Thank you and the feedback is always incredibly valuable.
Saw the email and will get back this evening (looking forward to linking up and I have some updates on the photo edits :))
Love your stuff man. I've been putting off shooting in SLOG forever, as I always hear how complicated it is, but this makes me want to take the plunge.
Thanks, Morgan and DIVE IN. Get that exposure via zebras then hit that LUT and boom. Let me know how you get on 🤙
@@seandewispelaere What zebra level do you recommend for SLOG 3?
@@morganseel check out the low light video that I link at the end of this video, it’ll dive into that

@@seandewispelaere Awesome - thank you
wow it is the firs video i see from you wow great tips got your self a new sub :)
Thanks and welcome to the channel (happy to have you)
hey, about the auto white balance, i got an issues with that. Especially if i took more then 1 photo on the same spot with AWB white, they will looks different's. maybe you got some tips ?
But thankyou so much for making this content, this is a huge information.
and the sony Convertion Luts,i got page not found
Glad you like the video
Not sure what’s up on Sony’s end with that LUT but I did provide 2 links (the second one should get you there)
Regarding AWB, that’s normal. The AWB will shift the white balance as the scene’s lighting tones shift. This is fairly easy to correct in post with photos if you want them to match. For video, a lot of newer Sony cameras have AWB lock which will prevent shifting if you’re using AWB.
Hey, i got a question. Are those new sony A7IV can’t did face register ? Or i just didn’t know about that ? Sorry for my bad English
Great video! Can you do a video for what you would buy/own as a minimalist creator? I plan to travel full time and I am always fighting myself on what gear to get. I want full frame so I was waiting for the A7Cii also what small light can/should I get, I was going to get the small manfroto table top tripod a 10L sling bag, still debating on the lens choices. I’m going to pick up a new MacBook Pro since my current one is 5 years old and I know will struggle
Thank you and yes I can build that in over the next few months. Enjoy the travel, that’s awesome
The A7cII will be an interesting one, might be a really good option
I like this light a lot for a compact option:
amzn.to/44uRrSY
You might need a bigger backpack though?
From a tripod perspective, I use this and like it’s range of uses:
amzn.to/3K2G9Nn
Let me know what you go with 🤙
Oh and from a lens perspective, I’d run with a wide and a mid zoom
These are my current go-to’s:
17-28:

28-75:

Great Content 🔥🔥 Quick question Sean what sound effect is that at 0:26 ? Been searching for it for weeks now 😂
Thank you and all of my SFX come from Audiio (audiio.com/partner?oid=1&affid=931)
I think you're looking for the camera shutter one?
Don’t usually comment… But the simple idea around exposure was brilliant, great work! 👊🏻
Thanks for taking the time to comment this time, hits harder when they're hard to come by. Appreciate it, hope it helps ya
sorry for not responding via email with this question, but i will soon:
fx3 user... should "RAW OUtPUT" be on or off when using an external monitor to measure data (e.g. wave, peaking, etc.) but NOT record externally?
If you don’t do things as per your recommendations, it’s not a “mistake”
It’s either a normal setup procedure; or just a pretty subtle preference eg white balance
I'm certainly not trying to suggest any elitism or that what is suggested in this video is the only way of doing things, and don't disagree that a lot of this is preference. I do think it'll land well for a lot of people and always try and take the "what is working well for me currently" approach. Thanks for checking out the channel.
With zebras you should be using the custom Zebras (C1, C2 etc) and use the zebra + range option to work out exposure ie skin tone 70 +/- 5 - which will show zebra lines only on parts of the image that are at 65-75 ire, If you only are using the zebra (limit) it is much more limited as everything over that zebra ire has zebra lines i.e. if you set you zebra to 70 then every thing over 70 has zebra lines so how do you know if its 71 ire or 95 ire?
Thanks for the note and I'd agree that is a more detailed way of looking at it. My usual rule of thumb that I get into in videos where I have the space to expand on the topic a bit it to bring the exposure up to the point where Zebras start to appear, then pull back by a click on the iso, as an example, and then the exposure is good. Certainly a topic that requires more detail than the semi-surface based nature of this video was. All the best and thanks for the great note.
Cheers much all gravy and i subbed 😊❤
All of it?! Made my day and welcome to the channel.
Yep all of it thanks for your nice comment and it's wonderful to be a part of such a great community ☺️❤️
Which luts work with A7IV? They look product specific, but I don't see A7IV sku thanks!
There are a lot. I like Sony's official SLOG3 conversion LUT a lot
Good video bro. Another one would be a closer look at the two AF parametres you touched on for video.
If you wanted to record fast action video but keep focus locked so it dont change about.
Much appreciated and I’ll add that to the list, thank you for the suggestion.
In short, turn the auto focus transition speed and the auto focus subject shift sensitivity both up and use touch tracking if your camera supports it
All the best 🤙
@@seandewispelaere will have a play, cheers bro, great channel
@@themarksmanABP Epic let me know how you get on with that and thanks that means a lot
It would be good to add time stamps if you can. Love the video! Just preordered me a a6700.
Glad you liked the video and thanks for the note on the chapters. Me and you both ;)
@@seandewispelaere that’s awesome to hear! Thanks for the response! Will you be having a video on it once in comes in?
@@logantraxler7 I'll be doing A TON, yes
Exposure chart link output is blank page.
Hey Paul, I pinned a comment (should be at the top of the comments) that has an updated link
Good stuff. Make the technical fundamentals as natural as breathing, and then you are freed up to be creative.
Well said and I agree - thanks for the note
4:34 slog conversion lut doesn’t show up. It says page not found when I click on the download link.
Whoa really?! That’s on Sony. I’ll look for a solution. Thanks for the note

The white balance advice- was given under 100% artificial light, in an underground car park …
Does it apply for the typically 90+ % of shots which are taken outside?
It does for me, yes. In general I prefer the subtle differences that AWB-W produces in all situations albeit some have more drastic differences than others
How do I do this on Sony a6000 as mine pulses and it having trouble focusing
Do you have autofocus transition speed and/or autofocus subject shift sensitivity settings on that camera?
@@seandewispelaere I will have a look mate and get back to you
To use Luts i need to get an expensive editing Program right? I cant find it in Premiere Rush sadly. Great Video btw. - 90% is not even clickbait
Hey Keydan, I believe you can utilize LUTs in the free version of Davinci Resolve.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it 🤙
Good shit
Appreciate that
Some of this doesn't apply to the a6xxx series (apart from the a6700) i.e. if you use memory recall the WB is locked to what ever you set when you saved it and you cannot do a custom white balance or even change the white balance this makes the memory recall a bit limited,.
I guess the memory recall in those instances is limited but still beneficial for some of the macro settings like shutter, pic profile, audio, etc...?
@@seandewispelaere Yeah the memory recalls are really handy just annoying that some things remain locked after recalling them.
@@KDHildreth Def and I think I remember that on the a7iii
My camera's way too old for any of these tips to work. Great video, though
Thank you and I’m sure you’re still creating great stuff regardless of the model 🤙
Also any of the older 8bit Sony's should not use any of the LOG profiles because in 8bit LOG video skin tones end up with grey blotchy patches (with zero color information) and generally look pretty bad - general rule if your camera only has 8bit video then avoid log and use Cine 1 instead - slightly flat profile but captures highlights up to 109ire.
For 8-bit, I recommend using s-log2 for the gamma and rec. 709 for the color gamut. This gives you more dynamic range (not as much as the s-log3 gamma), but doesn’t reduce the amount of color information.
To correct the footage, you can’t use a standard LUT anymore, you have to use DaVinci’s colorspace transform tool to correct the gamma back to rec. 709. The gamut is already in rec. 709.
Good discussion here. I do think for 8-bit cameras that SLOG2 is viable and had good results with the ZV-E10 on that topic. I, however, don't have any issues using Sony's official SLOG2 conversion LUT in Premiere Pro (seems to work fine)..?
@KDHildreth, regarding Cine1, I also like using Cine (particularly Cine2) but have had good results with SLOG2 as well with 8-bit color
Good info, guys, thanks for this!
@@kadencampbell4425 yeah I've tried that and at the time I wasn't happy with the results but that was because of limitations in Adobe Premiere, but yeah in resolve that would work much better.
@@seandewispelaere I Prefer Cine1 over Cine2 as they have the same gamma curve (they are are almost an identical profile) but Cine1 captures highlights up to 109 ire but Cine2 clips anything above 100 ire - so cine 2 will not allow you to pull back highlights above100% ire. The problem with using the official Sony S-log2 LUT in premiere is that it is made for video shot with 18% Grey recorded at 32% ire which is quite dark and with 8bit video, dark areas fall apart when shot that dark, the usual method of overcoming this by over exposing S-Log2 by 1 or 2 stops then has issues when using a LUT that is designed for a darker video and quite often highlights will be clipped by the LUT and become unrecoverable. There are ways around this, but i found Cine-1 was a acceptable compromise and gave up on S-Log 2 (in 8bit cameras) - of course non of this is relative in the most recent Sony cameras that film in 10bit (or older 10bit cameras like the FS5 etc).
❤❤❤
🤙🤙🤙
@@seandewispelaere thanks dear for yor reply
I feel threatened by that jawline.
Me and you both...
90% is a pretty bold claim.
what, what? oh
what is the actual percentage of sony video shooters? 10% of owners?
💞 *Promo SM*
Panasonic users would never make these very basic mistakes... that actually are applicable to any beginner camera user on any brand of camera... Clickbait titles *sigh* 🙄
Hey man with all due respect I made a video that I’m happy with that I think fulfills the title and thumbnail. I think it can help some people and appreciate your feedback. All the best 🤙
I'm not even being brand loyal here when I say the only 3 Panasonic shooters I've shot with are the ones making the most mistakes and using older cheaper kit. But does that even make me judge an entire brand and its users? No.
Love Panasonics and it doesn't mean anything and this video is an extremely well put together video to remind people of even just one feature they forgot to go back and set up/utilise.
Cheer up. It takes a stupid amount of time to make these videos for people to consume for free and take shitty shots at!
@@petrolpoodle6617 Ah, this is the thing with text it’s very hard to read my tone, I’m very sarcastic and dry, this is just a poke in the ribs. Fully appreciate it takes ages to make videos, and Sean’s are very well made for sure. The mistakes felt brand agnostic though, none of them apply to Sony per se. And I say Panasonic users because they make the most fully featured cameras, albeit lacking good AF for a while - Thus if you’re choosing the underdog Panny, you’re alright by me 🤣 It’s not the cool choice right now, but the comeback story is gonna be epic! 🥊
@@crystalpulseTV I absolutely love this reply and would like to apologise! Couldn't agree more by the way, I SO nearly bought two S5s instead of my A7iv's and was talked out of it because of the industry using Sony now as the standard. I absolutely would have been as happy if not more! They were half the price too!
Man, you pass the information too fast, I can't keep up hahahaha...
Pin this or I will delete it!
Officially pinned
Why does his face just want to make me strip down and paint my nails (I’m a straight man)
Haha I have no idea how to respond to that - gave me a good laugh
Lol now that I have your attention, I need your help. Im a hobbyist photographer who is swapping from dslr to mirrorless and I can’t decide between the a7iii with a sigma 28-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f4 from Sony or the new a6700 with a sigma 18-50 f2.8 and the same 70-200. I shoot mainly street photography, portraits and just general photos. The a6700 is very enticing with its newer sensor, processor and technology but I don’t know if I will have buyer’s remorse of not investing in Full frame. Right now both system are the same price including lenses so that’s not an issue
@@chump3888 you got me ha well played. Ok yea tough one there for sure.
Some thoughts:
- I ran the Sony a7iii for years
- I haven’t used the a6700 but have a good idea of what it’s big features are
- I don’t think you’ll need dual card slots so that isn’t a determining factor which is good
- all things considered, and I think you’re thinking about the right things, I’d lean towards the a6700. It’ll have a really high resale value as will the lenses if you want to move to a full frame like an a7iv or something in a year or so.
- I’d look at some of the Tamron offerings for lenses as well
Just some thoughts, let us know what you go with
@@seandewispelaere thank you so much! I totally agree. I have shot on the a6400 as a school photographer and felt no real limitations that the a7iii could really solve (mainly because I don’t think I shot a single photo without using the tightest focal range of the lens). The only problems I had with the a6400 was the bad menu, lack of physical dials and the way the screen til it’s which all gets solved by the a6700. Thanks for the information you have provided. This is the first video I have ever seen by you but this was so helpful.
@@chump3888 I think you LOVE the menu update and some of those features. Really cool that you found the channel and thanks for your interest in the video and I'm glad that I helped ya. One thing that I didn't mention in the video due to it being a newer feature on Sony cameras is AWB-lock. Enjoy that ;)
Mistake number one - buying a sony sh1tcamera.
Huh?
I think it is hard to go wrong with the incredible modern tools that all of the major camera companies are producing these days. All the best - thanks for checking out the video.
My Sony has got me quite a few jobs as it's the industry standard camera manufacturer. Never had corporate clients request anything outside of Sony. Best business decision I made as I've also shot with 90 percent Sony shooters. So easy using each others lenses/cameras for fast work flow. Don't be a frickin child about brand loyalty just because you like something else.
