Hey Jason. My name is Whitefeather. I’m a veteran that picked up photography to help with my depression and PTSD. My girlfriends idea. It’s helped me so much. I’ve been doing it for about 3 months now. I would love if you’d stop by my social media to give it a look. Love your videos! FB: whitefeather_photography and IG: whitefeather__photography Majority of my photos were with a canon 6dmkii, but, my most recent ones are with my Sony A7riii
Thank u Jason super helpful vids! but why nobody talks about the constant auto focus pulsing issues of the A6400, vlogging and videos? ...smh no one talk abt this problem. Gonna return my a6400 the pulsing autofocus is super annoying.
Choosing a camara was the hardest decision I’ve ever made 🤣. I have started my RUclips film class and you’re one of my teachers . As a beginner I went with a 6600 with a 18-105mm f/4 . I loveeeee it. Excited for this journey.
I’m a new amateur photographer and a new Sony A7Riii owner and just wanna say I love your videos and have found them so helpful and fun to watch. Thank you for such great content!
Right off the bat, I switched to Sony about 4 years ago, just got the a7iii over a year ago, and I never turned off the auto high temp shut off. I've experienced the a7iii shutting down due to overheating maybe twice, so this is a great help! Even though I have been watching your videos for a while and a Sony user, I learned a few things, thank you man!
To touch base about the animal autofocus, I’ve done exactly what you suggested. I set one of my custom buttons to switch between human and animal and it made it so much easier!
I've watched a few of your videos and subscribed. Over all other tutorial vloggers out there, yours is the most appealing. Refreshingly easy to watch and no ZZzzzz's. Thank you for your hard work helping others. Tom A7III (UK).
You have a new subscriber! I've been urban exploring and doing tons of photography and videography with my alpha II and have tons to learn still! Thanks for the informative videos as always! 😄
A few notes to items on the list. 2) NTSC/ Pal Selector Please note that the camera WILL format the card when you switch between NTSC & PAL so bear that in mind. 3) Eye-Start AF Only works for the LA-EA2/4 adapter with A-mount lenses & will start focusing when looking through the viewfinder.
Hey Jason! I’ve used the ease us recovery wizard and it worked for recovering Sony images. I actually ended up buying it works great and saved me for sure!
excellent video! The tip about formatting was interesting. On a computer if you format a hard drive with the right software you can probably recover data. That is if you do not write anything else to the drive. Not sure what Sony has that formatting the SD card doesn't let you recover any data. Good thing to know. Thanks!
Hi Jason, good video! JFI the Eye-Start AF function is different from the Eye-AF. Eye-Start AF is the equivalent of the Pre-AF but for A-mount lenses, and it only works by getting close to the Finder. So if you use E-mount lenses, the system tells you it’s not available :)
I have a6600 and something bothers me a lot. I figured out how to set M1 and M2 memory settings like you did in 15:45, but if I shoot in M1, set focus, focus peaking, focal length, zebra, grid, peak highlight etc. when I switch to M2 it will all be lost, and if I go back to M1 it's not coming back. Is there a way to assign a custom button to (video) file format change? Or at least add it to function menu?
Hi Jason! Congratulations on your channel. Very inspirational !! I have switch to Sony (A9) recently from Nikon and I am very happy so far. Any advice on this camera?
Jason I have just bought a sony a7iii and as a beginner in video filming I have seen a few of your videos and am impressed. I wonder if you could guide me in choosing a suitable lens for my shoots. Majority of my shoots are performance music video shoots of the singer in a 20feet x 20feet room at night with bi colour lighting. I currently have a 50mm 1.8 prime lens but I have to move far away in order to capture the full body shot that makes the subject appear far away. How can I overcome this issue?
Awesome video! I had a quick question about number 9, touch tracking. What sony cameras have it? I'm thinking of buying a a7riii and this would be a nice feature. Would appreciate the help. Thanks 😊
Jason your video's are so well done and are incredibly helpful, but the music in this one drives me nuts. Not sure if you use this in others as well? It's very distracting even though it's mixed well, it's just a busy tune that detracts IMO. Nit picking for sure! Keep up the great work!
I just realized part of the reason the song bugs me so much is how it sounds at 1.5X which is how I watch videos on RUclips. It's not nearly as bad in regular speed. My bad. :/
Thanks for your tips and tricks. So very valuable. I'm very concerned! My new a6600 (bought last week), in CINE mode everything is DARK when shooting video. No idea why. Is the camera defective? what am I missing? Thanks so much. I very much appreciate it.
Hi thx for the video , i just have a question. Whats the function to dont have some drop of the white balance when you take off the flash cobra to the hot shoe ?
Maybe you can help me. Like they say always ask the expert. I have an A6600. I purchased some coloured lights for the background and I use one key light for now. I notice a strange thing happened during filming the video. I notice after when I am editing and I see the video. I see that the video started out as a somewhat dark video image ( which I like) - like most vlogs. Then it starts to brighten itself as the clip goes on. The camera seems to some how change something in adjustment during filming.Im not sure if I have to turn some setting off or adjust other settings?
I had a question: I am going to live stream using my A6600 camera. The small USB cable that comes with the camera to charge ( im not sure what its called what type of cable it is) ...is there a longer one that i can purchase somewhere ? The one that comes with the camera is only about one foot long...not good for outdoor live stream where I may need a longer cable.
Do you know why they took away tap to focus when using the mobile app to shoot remotely? Or what the work around for that would be when shooting self portraits?
Just a note regarding slow motion frame difference between PAL and NTSC: switching won’t give you slower slow motion. PAL uses 25 fps, while NTSC uses 30 fps, so switching from PAL slow motion (100 fps) to NTSC slow motion (120 fps) won’t give you slower video... it will always be 25% of normal speed.
Great info bro! I’ve had my camera over a year and didn’t know a lot of these tips. I’ve never needed them but gonna have to look into using some of these now.
I am sure Jason is already trying the new camera that will be release soon :D ... Thanks for the refreshing informations. I also shared this doc for HLG, I believe the HLG2 is the best too. Regarding the proxy, why I used FCPX to generate them when Sony can do it out of the box haha
I wish I would have known about the striping issue on the 85mm FE 1.8 I watched your lens video before this and bought it. That being said thank you for the tip about the website I will be looking at that to help.
Could you do a video about which newer Sony cameras have improved features over the older generation? This is the most confusing part because not every feature is advertised by Sony.
Excellent video, Jason. Lots of great information and entertainingly presented. Although, when you're telling us how it breaks your heart to tell people they've lost all their photos, you probably should laugh so hard. Ha ha. Keep up the good work!
Hey Jason, I haven't tried, but I would be VERY surprised if the on camera format actually did anything too destructive for good forensic software to recover. To accomplish that the camera would actually have to write "0"s to every bit on the sdcard. And as we can tell when we burst 30 shots, writing to the sdcard can take awhile. Good hard drive wiping software does triple passes through the drive to write "0"s and it can take hours depending on the size and write speed of the drive.
I can confirm that formatting the card in camera means no consumer software based recovery software can find any files. No, it’s not writing to the entire card, but you’d need a hardware recovery solution (good luck!). I just got twin 512GB SD cards so I only need to format every month.
Thank you Dude for the tip to turn off Long Exposure NR and High ISO NR.... that fixed my severe lag time on my A7r IV even with the fastest SD Card!!! For the longest time, I thought I had a defective camera! Thank You Thank You Thank YOU! 😃🙏
Hey hi... I bought Sony a6400 recently..I filmed few vedios.. but when I want to transfer the vedio files from camera to phone / PC.. vedio is transferred but without volume.. I mean muted vedio. But It is audible in camera.. pls help me out...
Could you please suggest me in this two lens which one I buy ? Tamron - Gm - sigma 70-200mm ??? I’m new in this photography Line so I’m confused please help me.
Zhu Jason.. I'm your big fan.. Just have a question about 5. Eye AF in Video. I'm using Sony A7R iii. Of course I got face detection on still photos. But NOT in the video? Even I'm using 24mm f1.4 lens. Eye AF in video its doesn't work. ? Any ideas? Thanks. G.Lam
Jason Vong 2:30 - Eye-start AF is NOT the same as Eye AF, so this bit is wrong. Eye-start AF refers to the camera starting the focussing when it detects your eye is at the viewfinder, or something essentially blocks the viewfinder, such as having it on a strap and resting against your chest. If you have it on in this situation it will be attempting to focus the whole time it's on your chest, or when you are looking through the viewfinder, which is why you sometimes want it turned off. This is what the two little boxes under (or over) the viewfinder are for.

Dope video ! If you have any pratical and easy solution to not reset video to 001 everytime you format the SD...

A couple of these were super helpful, thanks
I’m a new amateur photographer and a new Sony A7Riii owner and just wanna say I love your videos and have found them so helpful and fun to watch. Thank you for such great content!
You can never go wrong, with Jason Vong 💯
ya dang right
Right off the bat, I switched to Sony about 4 years ago, just got the a7iii over a year ago, and I never turned off the auto high temp shut off. I've experienced the a7iii shutting down due to overheating maybe twice, so this is a great help!

glad this helped!
To touch base about the animal autofocus, I’ve done exactly what you suggested. I set one of my custom buttons to switch between human and animal and it made it so much easier!
how? im going through my A6400 settings and i cant seem to find the human/animal eye focus option to put on my custom buttons
Jessica Hebert its labeled as SUBJECT DETECTION. You have to go to the section that lets you program your C1 and C2 buttons.
Jessica Hebert and you have to have the latest firmware update to get animal eye autofocus on the A6400.
I learned quite a lot but boy, you're fast with us the starters. I wish you could particularly, step by step, go in details on step 21.
Love this video! Im a new Sony user with a Sony A7ii and this is a huge help!
Had my a7iii for a few years now and some of these tips are helpful! Thanks Jason.
Thanks Jason ..these reviews are super helpful....to a hobbies as if you aren't shooting frequently you forget these settings...
Setting the Memory Recall info..... MEMORY RECALL NOW MAKES SENSE!!! It took me a bit to understand. THANKS!!
You have the most helpful and interesting channel on RUclips! Thank you!
I've watched a few of your videos and subscribed. Over all other tutorial vloggers out there, yours is the most appealing. Refreshingly easy to watch and no ZZzzzz's. Thank you for your hard work helping others. Tom A7III (UK).
You´re so cool! and your tips are great! Thank you! It´s a pleasure to learn with you
I'm a new Sony user, thank you for this video
I just got the Sony a73 last week. This video came right on time.
So helpful! I just got my new a6400 today and was shocked by the amount of menu options, you helped me so much. Thank You Man!!!
You have a new subscriber! I've been urban exploring and doing tons of photography and videography with my alpha II and have tons to learn still! Thanks for the informative videos as always! 😄
That touch tracking is gold!!!! Had my a6600 for nearly 2 years and didnt know that. Although it does not work in 100fps. Thanks Jason.
Thanks Jason ... my good news is ### i got my new a6400 ### .. thanks a lot for your supportive videos .
A few notes to items on the list.
2) NTSC/ Pal Selector
Please note that the camera WILL format the card when you switch between NTSC & PAL so bear that in mind.
3) Eye-Start AF
Only works for the LA-EA2/4 adapter with A-mount lenses & will start focusing when looking through the viewfinder.
Agree. Eye start AF and eye AF are two diff features of Sony ILCE/ILCA cameras
Hey Jason! I’ve used the ease us recovery wizard and it worked for recovering Sony images. I actually ended up buying it works great and saved me for sure!
I've recovered Sony images from a card using the software link that comes with Sandisk Extreme cards.
I'm part of that new wave and your videos have been very helpful. Thanks
so helpful for mastering sony cameras. So many buttons.
excellent video! The tip about formatting was interesting. On a computer if you format a hard drive with the right software you can probably recover data.
That is if you do not write anything else to the drive. Not sure what Sony has that formatting the SD card doesn't let you recover any data.
Good thing to know. Thanks!
Hi jason, can you do a sony a1setup video? thank man.
love your videos
I watched this video for guidance on my new sony camera purchase! Thanks!
this was a very concise and helpful video. thanks
Hi Jason, good video! JFI the Eye-Start AF function is different from the Eye-AF. Eye-Start AF is the equivalent of the Pre-AF but for A-mount lenses, and it only works by getting close to the Finder. So if you use E-mount lenses, the system tells you it’s not available :)
So this lens distortion option works also for non native lenses?
Is that normal touch follow not work well when the screen flipped up and when lens zoomed in?
I am buying this camera this weekend! Together with Sony 24-105 Lens. I'm excited
Does the a6400 have eye autofocus in video mode?
New sony user. And overwhelmed autofocus settings are confusing
A lot of these are overlooked in other videos, so thanks for compiling all of these into one video! :)
Super informative tips thanks bro
I have a6600 and something bothers me a lot. I figured out how to set M1 and M2 memory settings like you did in 15:45, but if I shoot in M1, set focus, focus peaking, focal length, zebra, grid, peak highlight etc. when I switch to M2 it will all be lost, and if I go back to M1 it's not coming back.
Is there a way to assign a custom button to (video) file format change? Or at least add it to function menu?
Where do you get those tags that you’ve got through the lanyard/strap holes?
Much of them is helpful as I am beginning in a7ii.
Is there a way to set picture profiles to be on only when in video mode?
Hi Jason! Congratulations on your channel. Very inspirational !! I have switch to Sony (A9) recently from Nikon and I am very happy so far. Any advice on this camera?
If I recall correctly eye start AF is a feature of A mount lenses. Since you can adapt A mount lenses to E mount Sony keeps it in the menus
Ah! Thanks for the tip!

Wow great tips, especially since I am about to switch from Canon to Sony!
Love your videos man they're one of the main reasons I switched to Sony and I couldn't be happier with that choice.
thanks for the tips dude! have an amazing day
youre welcome!
would you be up for making another hour long video on how you setup your A7R 4 like you did with the A73?? pretty pleaseeeeee 😩
Does the animal auto Focus include Goat Eye Focus?
it is possible to shoot stills when video records ?
Awesome video! I had a quick question about number 9, touch tracking. What sony cameras have it? I'm thinking of buying a a7riii and this would be a nice feature. Would appreciate the help. Thanks 😊
What color gray is that on your studio wall?
Now I finally know what the hell proxy recording is. Thanks.
haha np!
can you do A FULL SETTING video for the sony A7rII
please suggest best focus setting for photo and video
Jason your video's are so well done and are incredibly helpful, but the music in this one drives me nuts. Not sure if you use this in others as well? It's very distracting even though it's mixed well, it's just a busy tune that detracts IMO. Nit picking for sure! Keep up the great work!
I just realized part of the reason the song bugs me so much is how it sounds at 1.5X which is how I watch videos on RUclips. It's not nearly as bad in regular speed. My bad. :/
are the12 options of the function menu customizable for stills or video mode separately?
I don’t even have a camera😭 and I’m still watching this.
One day you will have for sure
@@gaurijgauthankar1621 Yeah just like me

Is it possible to do in camera double exposure photo on the Sony a7Riv?
top 10 most informative video in my youtube vidoe watching history

Great video. I learned a ton today
Great info bro! I’ve had my camera over a year and didn’t know a lot of these tips. I’ve never needed them but gonna have to look into using some of these now.
heyy im using sony a7riii and a6500 for video !!!
Do you still recommend using Canon colors on a7iii ? Is it worth switching ?
Can you please suggest good software for editing photos and videos.
Hi Jason, do you have an audio recording level recommendation for Sony ZV-E10 using with shotgun mic?
awsome video man!! very useful
I am sure Jason is already trying the new camera that will be release soon :D
...
Thanks for the refreshing informations. I also shared this doc for HLG, I believe the HLG2 is the best too.
Regarding the proxy, why I used FCPX to generate them when Sony can do it out of the box haha
I wish I would have known about the striping issue on the 85mm FE 1.8 I watched your lens video before this and bought it. That being said thank you for the tip about the website I will be looking at that to help.
Could you do a video about which newer Sony cameras have improved features over the older generation? This is the most confusing part because not every feature is advertised by Sony.
Excellent video, Jason. Lots of great information and entertainingly presented. Although, when you're telling us how it breaks your heart to tell people they've lost all their photos, you probably should laugh so hard. Ha ha. Keep up the good work!
Hey Jason, I haven't tried, but I would be VERY surprised if the on camera format actually did anything too destructive for good forensic software to recover. To accomplish that the camera would actually have to write "0"s to every bit on the sdcard. And as we can tell when we burst 30 shots, writing to the sdcard can take awhile. Good hard drive wiping software does triple passes through the drive to write "0"s and it can take hours depending on the size and write speed of the drive.
I can confirm that formatting the card in camera means no consumer software based recovery software can find any files. No, it’s not writing to the entire card, but you’d need a hardware recovery solution (good luck!). I just got twin 512GB SD cards so I only need to format every month.
So is it ok to delete photos from SD on computer, I thought better to do in camera?
Thank you Dude for the tip to turn off Long Exposure NR and High ISO NR.... that fixed my severe lag time on my A7r IV even with the fastest SD Card!!! For the longest time, I thought I had a defective camera! Thank You Thank You Thank YOU! 😃🙏
im glad this video helped! :)
thank you so much Jason i learn a lot today
What software are you using in the part that you explain HLG?
thank you!! This was super helpful!
Hey Jason, does Lens Compensation also works with video or only with photo?
Hey hi... I bought Sony a6400 recently..I filmed few vedios.. but when I want to transfer the vedio files from camera to phone / PC.. vedio is transferred but without volume.. I mean muted vedio. But It is audible in camera.. pls help me out...
What’s that microphone 🎤 which ur using, I wana get that !
Could you please suggest me in this two lens which one I buy ? Tamron - Gm - sigma 70-200mm ??? I’m new in this photography Line so I’m confused please help me.
Zhu Jason.. I'm your big fan.. Just have a question about 5. Eye AF in Video. I'm using Sony A7R iii. Of course I got face detection on still photos. But NOT in the video? Even I'm using 24mm f1.4 lens. Eye AF in video its doesn't work. ? Any ideas? Thanks. G.Lam
Quick question, what lens Jason is you using in the video?
Jason Vong 2:30 - Eye-start AF is NOT the same as Eye AF, so this bit is wrong. Eye-start AF refers to the camera starting the focussing when it detects your eye is at the viewfinder, or something essentially blocks the viewfinder, such as having it on a strap and resting against your chest. If you have it on in this situation it will be attempting to focus the whole time it's on your chest, or when you are looking through the viewfinder, which is why you sometimes want it turned off. This is what the two little boxes under (or over) the viewfinder are for.
So just to clarify, Zeiss Batis lenses DON'T use "lens compensation" (#22) in the a7iii?
