At 6:58 I have my FINDER/MONITOR set to Viewfinder. This should be set to AUTO. Apologies for the mistake, I was working with a camera that had a broken monitor.
Omg after 2 years of shooting and always been confused on which settings to stick to! You changed my whole game with this video! I just took a photo after doing everything you listed and i could just CRY ❤THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I’ve been shooting with the Sony a7ii for several years but never quite understood how to adjust the settings to maximize quality. I just got back from shooting my niece’s graduation photos with your settings and it has been a game changer! 💯
making me rethink upgrading my camera lol. had this camera for years and you just now made me realize how powerful this thing is with a few tweaks. thank you 🙏🏾
Much needed and appreciated! Just starting putting myself out there more as a photographer and after this video my prom shoot came out amazing! Thank you!
Would love to see a video for best settings on sports mode. I use this for sports photography paired with a tamron 70-200 and would to utilize it the best I can. Main issue is low light photography when we have evening games. Not sure of i just need to add a flash or what 🤷♀️ daytime pics come out great.
Hi buddy, thanks a lot for this video. I have recently started photography and am completely new in this field. I wanted to know how to take Timelapse with A7ii. Could you please please please make a video on that??
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
I zach ! I have a question . How can i see what shutter speed , f number and the iso i used after taking a photo on a sony a7ii? Before i take out the sd card i saw every info after i can't see it. How can i do to see them back? Please
What do you do if it doesn’t turn on at all. Just a black screen… and i just bought it yesterday. Only had the chance to use it for a few hrs at the gym.
QUESTION!! If I shoot primarily videos on my A7ii but occasionally take pictures. If I set my video settings to a certain frame and such will that affect my picture settings that I have set up?
Peaking settings may not be working because of a lens issue, it’s hard to say though. Maybe try disconnecting your lens and re attaching it? Wish I had better insight for this
I don't know what happened, I switched the finder/ monitor to viewfinder and now the display doesn't work. How do I wake the screen back up? Please help
Hello Zach I'm a poor guy with A6000 and I decided to sell my camera with the reason for upgrade, should I go for A7ii or A6400? I like photography more but some of my friend want me to make some video, so its kinda hard to decide

This might be helpful, except that you simply ignore many settings, as to why for example on page 3, I see you have your Pre-AF turned off (my default setting is on), but you don’t say why you turned yours off, you just skip to the next page. This is just one of many examples. So the video is not really that helpful. Somewhat helpful, but could have been a lot better.
Generally I find that most of the settings I skip are user preference. My goal for this video was to show which settings will allow you to capture the best quality photos. Everything else can be played around with and chosen at the users preference.

Hi buddy, thanks a lot for this video. I have recently started photography and am completely new in this field. I wanted to know how to take Timelapse with A7ii. Could you please please please make a video on that??
hey can you explain how to connect the sony a7ii with a mobile phone to use the mobile phone as an external monitor .
Hey Zach, nice tips. Could you give some tips about focus, aperture and shutter?
Thanks
What do you do for continuous power while recording your long form videos? Or did you get and extended battery?
Can you make a video about exposure. When I take the picture on my camera it looks fine but when I upload it to the computer it looks so bright
Whats the lens yoir using? Is it the one that comes with camera?
Thank you so much for your video! It is so helpful!
Great video thanks
How do you get to to the wide focus area if it’s in manual focus? I’m sorry this is my first camera and I’m learning .
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
Yes it is. Specially because it includes the kits lens.
Nope.
I’m at a loss bought this because my daughter is an athlete can you help me out with setting for that?
What do you think about the Sony A7RV? Thinking about that one next . . .
I zach ! I have a question . How can i see what shutter speed , f number and the iso i used after taking a photo on a sony a7ii? Before i take out the sd card i saw every info after i can't see it. How can i do to see them back? Please
Face registration is good for wedding or event photography

No that would not have an effect when taking photos
beauty
Hi when do you suggest on the photo quality is between 10-15 Megabytes .
Although i have kept the image qualtiy as large -24M and Extra fine Jpeg.
Does this camera have the function to detect and track the eye?
my camera says "this option or setting not available as follows" and then lists drive mode and then Cont. shooting. Why this that?? how do I fix this
Here trying to figure out the same 😅
@@SidneyWalker1807set ya camara on “M” and it will work perfectly 💯🤞🏾
How do you remove the black border when you are taking a photo?
How sharp are the pics
Your settings look different than mine on my camera. Perhaps I need to update or mine is updated?
It is possible you need to switch your camera from NSTC to PAL
Thank you Zach!
Happy to help!
If I use manual model how can I use it
greaaaaat bro
Thank you
How can I remove the lines that tell me zebra to tell me where is the sun light
You should be able to go in and find zebra and just switch it to “off”
Nice. Thanks
Do you know why my peak settings would not be working?
Peaking settings may not be working because of a lens issue, it’s hard to say though. Maybe try disconnecting your lens and re attaching it? Wish I had better insight for this
thank you!
You're welcome!
