Love this. Just bought an A7 II. One thing i would say it would be great to see the focal length and the aperture you use for the shots. Im not a zoom guy, but id love to see what you shoot the most
@@SchnellfeuerXD hey, it is a great camera but you have to understand the limitations with full frame before going in for it. I’ve actually just returned mine as I found the depth of field was so fine that the margin for error with focus shooting wide open was hard to control. I’m going back to a crop sensor camera.
@@devenhennelly5639 basically with full frame sensors and bright lenses the focus area is so fine that for example if you took a portrait and the focus point is the eyes, the nose would be slightly out of focus. Margin of error is higher than a crop. But i more expensive full frame wouls focus better and more reliable
Hello, I need an advise. I am going to buy a new camera and for the same budget I am deciding between the Sony a7m2k and the alpha 6400. I will use it for street photography and family pictures. Which one do you recommend?
hi man, i also have the a7ii, and i like to shoot street. i’ve been shooting film lately and considering switching to digital. i like to be discreet on the streets (small lens, small camera), and for that reason i will need to buy a small prime lens to go with my a7ii. my biggest concern is that the shutter is loud. i recall shooting with the camera, and people could easily hear me taking pictures. would you agree with me on that, or do you feel like the shutter sound is manageable? i could consider getting a fuji x100f for twice the price of the lens i’ve been eyeing, but idk appreciate it
Hey there! I wouldn’t really worry about the shutter too much, it’s definitely manageable unless you’re shooting in a closed environment. I would also recommend a lens like the Sony 40mm!!
I have a sony a7ii i realize that the focus isn't FAST like the newer cameras but I've never had a problem with focussing! but you seem to have a snappyish focus! what focus modes are you using?
Great video. I think I’ll be getting the Sony A7II this weekend. I’m rocking with an old Nikon d3100. So I’m in need of an upgrade. I don’t really have a style of shooting just take pictures of what looks nice. I’ve gotten nature, cars, pictures of the moon. So I’m really excited to head into the “street photography” world. Any advice on what to look for while doing street photography. Thxs in advance 👍
Congrats! And try to capture things that stand out and make you feel a certain type of way. The street photos that I think are the best are the street photos that show emotion!
Hy! I decided to buy this camera about a week ago. I've been using a Nikon D5300 for the past 6 years , and about for 2 months I used it with a 50mm F1.8. Very crisp photos after the blurry and soft 18-200. Now the problem is , that I get the same with the Sony , with the 28-70 mm kit lens. I photograph trains , that is what I use the camera for. I might be very stupid , I am not ashamed of that , but the Sony had not yet convinced me. Could you help me in some way to figure out how can I get good results out of the Sony? What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!
Check multiple things. Are you shooting in continuous AF? With wide focus area? Or you can always use select focus point which is what I sometimes use. And also is your shutter speed adequate enough for a moving subject AKA a train and what not. For a slow moving subject 1/250th should be fast enough but for more fast subjects then a faster shutter speed will help with reducing blur.
@@AmalForbes Thank you for your reply Amal! The settings I have used are 1/800 F8.0 ISO 200 ,AF-C and metering in multi and focus point wide. But when zooming in , it could be clearly seen that the numbers or elements on the locomotive are blurred. Also I was shooting at 50 mm.
Friends, I need your advice, I won this Sony model a7ii at the auction, new with kit lens, for 780 dollars, advise me, is it worth buying today 2023 year of this camera for this price
Hey…great photography , i m thinking of to get A7Mii…it costs 80000 rupees in india…that is almost 975usd …is it worth it ?….it comes with 28-70mm lens….please reply me if u go thru this msg….i’m in a bigggg confusion…if not that cam..suggest me a camera around that price
hey bro, awesome video! how do you find the autofocus on the a7ii? looking to switch to full frame as I currently use the a6000 but have seen a lot of people say the AF is slow? i do alot of street photography so its mostly going to be used for that and portraits :) edit - Just found out I follow you on IG. i thought i recognised the editing style!
Hey bro. I might be late to the party here. Great pictures, however I’ve got a question, do you ask people if you can take pictures of them? Can’t you get a lawsuit?
Hey there, great question 😆. In the UK it's totally legal to take videos or images of people in public, plus there are millions of CCTV taking your video too! In most of Europe it's legal to take pictures of people in public
Thank you! This type of photography is called "Street photography" it's about capturing candid moments in everyday life! It's a great way to start photography and find your style!

Hey, I am starting my first job soon and I want the A7 II as my first camera. I've already worked with the Sony A330 of my dad. Can you recommend it?

Hey Would love a update on your Sony a7II settings for Photography. PLEASE
Image quality:RAW
AF mode: Continuous
AF area: Wide or single spot
Dial wheel: set to changing the ISO as its faster
Hello, I need an advise. I am going to buy a new camera and for the same budget I am deciding between the Sony a7m2k and the alpha 6400. I will use it for street photography and family pictures. Which one do you recommend?
I’d recommend the 6400. The lenses are cheaper for APS-C. But if you want full frame, then the A7ii is a good starting point for Sony full frame
you eanred yourself a sub! great shots and love reading your responses back to comments keep up the work! you convinced me to get the a7ii!
Thanks a lot for the support! And it's definitely a great camera 😁😁

Awesome video Amal! So many good shots!!
Thanks Noah!
cool video! what type of camera are you wearing for the POV?
I use a go pro 9!
Nice one mate🤙🏼
Thanks bro!
Good stuff man! I really dig your style
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it 🙏
I have a sony a7ii i realize that the focus isn't FAST like the newer cameras but I've never had a problem with focussing! but you seem to have a snappyish focus! what focus modes are you using?
I use continuous AF paired with Wide auto focus or select AF point.
@@AmalForbes thanks for the reply bro ! Giving you a sub
@@DanniAlv Thanks a lot for the support 😄
@@AmalForbesdo you usually use the large flexible spot AF?
@@bhop2303 I mainly use the flexible spot. I can't tell you if I use the large one the most because I use them all haha
Love all shots!! Do you have tutorial in lightroom to get tone like your photos?
Thank you! And at the moment no, but definitely a video I would like to make in the future!
@@AmalForbes that would be great and helpful, can’t wait 👍
Hi do you use a ring ? To adapt your Lens to the Sony body?
Hello Sôma! No, I use native Sony FE lenses!
Great Vid!
Thanks!
Great pov bro 🤙
Thanks a lot!!
Bro im planning to buy this one it is good back up camera???
for photos???
It would be a good backup camera! But I would recommend the a7iii.
Great stuff buddy - have same camera, soon to have same lens ?????
Do you mind if I ask what focus method you use ?
Thank you! And I use wide focus area with continuous AF
Nice video.. I am planning buying this camera and lens.. it is true batteries does not last too much?
The batteries are not the best, especially for video. But for photos it's fine!
Amal, nice video! What profile picture did you use for this shoot?
Thank you! And what do you mean by profile picture?
Picture profile, i mean. Did you keep it off? Or did you use s-log?
@iBerserk1987 for this video I used the 'Flat' picture profile on my go pro 😄
What app you use for edit bro',,because iam use Sony a7ii to
I use adobe lightroom for all of my edits!

@@AmalForbes WILL DO. Keep up the great work
@@anthonygalena3691 thank you! 😄
How was the ISO, aperture set?
ISO was set with the dial wheel and aperture with the wheel on the grip
@@AmalForbes ok, I I assume from this. What aperture and ISO values did you work with?
@Actortion iso was probably set to 100 and aperture probably f2.8.
Good job
Thank you!
Hey, love your pictures! Do you have any special settings that you use to take those incredibly sharp pictures?
Just need to have the right manual settings and the correct focus mode, then your photos should come out very sharp!
amazing video! I like it. I want to buy this lens, can you tell me how you feel when using this lens?
Thank you! And I'd think you'd have to try the lens out to figure that out!
@@AmalForbes Thank you! I will buy it
Can you share the original jpg pictures?
What do you mean? Do you want me to show a comparison of the RAW and edit?
@@AmalForbes Yes please
hi,can i ask what kind of camera to record pov video?
Hi there Jennifer! I use the go pro hero 9 😁
sony a7ii photograph settings
What settings? Editing? Setting up the camera?
I have the same set up but having a bit of difficulty on focusing. Which focus mode did you use in this video?
Great shot btw
Continous Auto focus mode + Wide focus area or select focus point area!

Круто! 😮
Thank you!!
@@AmalForbes 🤝🇷🇺
How do you get so much color!!???
With editing! I have an editing tutorial on my page if you are interested 😆

For that price I would recommend a used a7iii! They have dropped a lot in a price recently. Or you can look into the sony a6400 😁
Is it touch screen or not
The a7ii doesn't have a touch screen!
Which lens do you use ?
Deen here from Malaysia
Hello Deen, you can see the lens I used in the title of the video. The Sigma 24-70 F2.8! I also use the sigma 85 and the Sony 50mm 1.8
What lens are you using?
I don't know if you are joking...
@@AmalForbessorry bro don't see😂
Please share your picture profile settings
Check my latest video out! It's an editing tutorial

edit - Just found out I follow you on IG. i thought i recognised the editing style!
Thanks a lot! And the auto focus is decent. Sometimes it does miss but for most situations especially in good lighting it will grab focus no problem!
@@AmalForbes i appreciate the reply, thank you! I May have to pick one up soon👀
What is the lens?
Its in the title of the video! Sigma 24-70 F2.8
All the pictures edited or not
Of course they are all edited
What focus mode you use for street photography mate. I am new to sony camera’s
I use wide focus area with continuous af, or select focus point with continuous af, it depends on the scene.
@@AmalForbes Thanks mate for answering the question love your photography
May i know your camera settings?
That depends on the situation. But for auto focus is wide focus area or select focus point and continuous af
Do you use Manual or Auto shot?
Auto focus
Someone is selling this camera for 700$, and I am now thinking of getting it for that price when amazon has it for about 1300$
That is honestly a very good price if it is legit. Of course do your due diligence and make sure it's legit before making the purchase!

What are your definitions for this type of photography?
Thank you! This type of photography is called "Street photography" it's about capturing candid moments in everyday life! It's a great way to start photography and find your style!
Photos are too good but lens costs more than camera))
Thank you, and is that a bad thing? haha
So shooting random persons in street is street photography 😅😂😂. Get the concept clear and then take on photography
Interesting. That is literally what Street Photography is. Capturing candid photos of people going about their everyday lives.
How do you edit these pics or these are filters in camera ?
I edit all of my photos. There's an editing tutorial on my channel if you want to check it out😄!
