@@LoveTheBasics Well you also need continuous autofocus for shooting stills of moving subjects or if focal plane is changing by some other means such as when dynamically trying different compositions.
@@LoveTheBasics yeah I first got my S5 I maxed the focus setting and pulsing was bad. I also tried -3 speed and -1 sensitivity, that wasn't bad, but focusing want as responsive. Also noticed AF worked better on HLG vs Vlog.
I've checked your gear list and noticed that you don't own any Lumix Lenses. I know that autofocus with Lumix lenses is better than other brands, have you tested also the Lumix 24-105? It could be interesting making some video talking about native lenses. Thanks!
I might be able to rent some lumix lenses but they’re just so expensive idk if I could afford to own them. That’s why I went with the sigma L mount. But yea it’d definitely be interesting to test the native Lumix lenses
I agree with this statement, that you should consider the native lenses when the opportunity presents itself. I have the 24-105 kit lens and the 24-70 Sigma Art L-Mount. The autofocus is much more accurate and properly sensitive on the native lens. You also have to consider your aperture, which I don't see a lot of videographers mention. Focusing depth at f4 is going to be a lot less sensitive and appear "sharper" than f2.8 or faster. Yes, you'll sacrifice depth but quite honestly anything faster than f3.2 you should probably go manual because that's a lot of trust you're giving your camera to be accurate.
So. NO. CAF improves with FRAME RATE. So, since you think "S" stand for stills, maybe RTFM? Google RTFM. The camera can record internal 4k 24/30/60 WHILE recording/triggering an external recorder AND performing CAF. Watch Richard Wong's review. Seriously, offer advice only when you've read the manual and have reviewed your superior competitors. BOGUS!
Yes you should take this video down as it's way way not right and it's only confusing people. Bob Dylan sang "Know you song before you sing it. I see other have said stuff so you know it's wrong but the video is still up. Bummer.
Voice of Truth I am mostly using manual focus, and I will never judge a camera or base my decision on its autofocus system. The rest of the specs are more important that the autofocus...
That is very true. But at the moment which the kind of work I’m doing, having reliable autofocus is going to make my life so much easier as it’s one less thing I have to worry about
Im late to the video here and you say "im trying to get to 1k subs" 2 years later, you're at 77k wow. Well done!
Awesome tutorial dude!
Thank you sir!
Thanks for the information
You are so very welcome
Great video and Info... Which camera did you use to film this tutorial?
This was filmed with the Sony a6400
Thanks for this. How do you set up the AF face tracking mode that you mentioned?
s stands for single .....C Stands for continuos af-s af-c a are widely used terms can't watch a video if it starts of wrong like that sry
Doesn’t S stand for ‘single point focus’ not stills?
That’s probably correct but you’d only want to use that feature when taking stills
@@LoveTheBasics Well you also need continuous autofocus for shooting stills of moving subjects or if focal plane is changing by some other means such as when dynamically trying different compositions.
This is in fact true
🔥 u Rock
You too
These setting actually work perfect on the S5, no pulsing, decent focus speed. I find maxing the settings lead to pulsing.
I’m so glad to hear that! I did notice the pulsing too
@@LoveTheBasics yeah I first got my S5 I maxed the focus setting and pulsing was bad. I also tried -3 speed and -1 sensitivity, that wasn't bad, but focusing want as responsive. Also noticed AF worked better on HLG vs Vlog.
Yea I think that’s cause it’s a contrast based AF system and HLG has more contrast
Interesting video! How much better is the autofocus in 4k instead of 6k video mode? Can you post some samples? Thanks! :-)
I will indeed
Hello where did you get that nice cage from?
I just got it off Amazon. It’s a smallrig cage
What was this shot on though because the pulsing by your monitor with the purple light was crazy. I liked the quality though!!!
I’m thinking it was filmed on the A6400 but it might’ve been on an A6500

I have the 24-105 lens and I can tell you that the only autofocus mode that works is eye tracking the rest are useless.
@@mirceablue Thanks! :-)
I use the Lumix S 24-105mm F4 with 1-Area autofocus and it gives great results. You can see plenty of examples on my channel.

wish you would have actually done some B rolls and testing to show how the autofocus performs.
Yeaa
Can i film in 4K 60p?
Yea I’m pretty sure it can
LoveTheBasics pretty sure? Is there anyway I can be sure of this because I am thinking about getting this camera.
B&H says it films DCI 4K 60fps in h.265
@@LoveTheBasics with a crop?
Nope

Hey thanks Ray Trout. I’ve never heard of a ‘manual’ so I’ll definitely have to look into that
Yes you should take this video down as it's way way not right and it's only confusing people. Bob Dylan sang "Know you song before you sing it. I see other have said stuff so you know it's wrong but the video is still up. Bummer.
The only thing I have wrong is what the ‘S’ stands for
My autofocus works perfect with the 45mm sigma lens
Oh
I guess you never used a camera with good auto focus haha
But Sony

If only it had just O K autofocus
