I finally got around to posting a new video! I've been in Toronto for almost two weeks and it has been a crazy whirlwind of work and getting adjusted. I'm up here, for what is, no doubt, the BIGGEST project of my life.
But I still have to find time to create my own videos and take photos! It's what I live for.
And I bought a boosted board. Cause, you know, TH-cam.

I set my camera Aperture priority, auto iso. Set my minimum shutter speed at around 1/200th and let the iso do the rest. I use exposure compensation to adjust slightly if over or underexposed to my liking.
since making this video, I too have played around with Aperture priority. It's pretty great! I'll likely do a video amending my settings. I've learned a lot from the comments on this video!
man sony really does some amazing gear now!
i hope they continue creating great stuff!
thanks for sharing this with us
I auditioned for the Boys few weeks back - sadly didnt land the role, but awesome to come across this page! Blessings
Very good information and very well communicated. Really like and appreciate what your doing and how your doing it!
Dude, as a first time Sony 📷 user this video was amazing! Also my first time watching you, thank you. #Subscribed
Awesome video. Very good tips and the intro was amazing. Keep it up !
Superb Video, Keep up the good work!
Hey Stephan. Love your content. I’m gonna give you a quick-tip here, that was a huge gamechanger for my shooting. :)
I, as you, have a custom button on my a7iii assigned to manual/auto-focus toggle mode. What I found out, and what I am using alot more than changing the focus mode, is that if you assign another(or the same) custom button to the manual focus mode( Can’t remember the exact name of the path, but it should be on the same page as the autofocus/manual toggle-page), and this do result in a custom button that you can click and hold while in auto-focus mode, to be able to focus manually. ALSO, the exact same button works the other way around, so you get auto-focusing IN manual mode when you click the button. Don’t know how important it is for you, but it was huge for me! So wonderful when I have to make minor adjustments in short time. Click, hold, manual focus, take picture. Let go of the button, and the camera autofocuses again.
Keep up your cool videos sir! Much love from Norway :)
Great tip on the apsc toggle! Never thought about it. One question, I imagine the resolution of the photos drops to 10mp ,is that right? Does it affect much the quality?
DAMN DUDE. This was unbelievably helpful.
Thanks so much for this. I just recently go this camera. The video helps me out a lot.
subscribed less than a minute in, love your personality and your b roll.
Love the vid, just subbed!
Stephan-Just got the Sony A7 iii with Sony 35mm 1.4 lens. So appreciated your video VERY much! Don't know yet how to set shutter speed and attach to a button. Is that even necessary if using Aperture Priority? How do you do that in shooting manual? Thanks in advance!
I subbed for duck tales...lol. nice vid!
Have you ever tried using the Loxia 35/2, phenomenal ZEISS lens
Hi mate, Congrats for this video editing. I,m still waiting for your video editing tutorial 🤗
Great recap of the settings!
2nd link in the description (Sony 28mm f2.0), when clicked on gives error: "This site can’t be reached". Can you please update.
When are you back in Toronto. If possible I would lime to meet you.
Great video. Thanks dude.
This a7iii what does the proposed a7iv need to have more for you to get rid of this one ?
Thanks I like your approach.
Amazing Work ✌️
Are you using an ND Filter or CPL?
Its an interesting process. Though I feel sony A7 sensors are good noise wise up to Iso3200.
Hey, Stephan! Just found your channel and really enjoy the content. I didn't realize you were an a7iii shooter too. I've been working on the same show as you on set a few times. Before that I was on Freebirds upstairs. I'll make sure to say, "Hi." next time we cross paths.
cool man! Love the A7iii. Use it to shoot VFX plates and elements all the time ;)
Good stuff
Thanx for the video. Do you experience any banding in silent mode or are you mostly using this mode outside/daylight.
Rosa Doric I experienced weird banding when the camera was pointed at the giant led screens in Dundas Square. Almost like a digital fallout. That was the only time.
wow, good editing :D
Hip shooter! Yes!
What search terms should I use to learn how to do the forward-reverse-forward bike and bus sequence in line with the DJ spin sound? It looked like it was something more that simple reverse? Thanks!
Hey Melissa. All I did was add an edit and chunk off that small piece, copy and paste it a few times, then time reverse every other clip. You need to drop the music down first and edit to the audio, make your wave forms big so you can see where the DJ spin is and cut the piece to match that length. I can do a video about it one day.
Maybe i'm wrong but when you use aps-c mode the image size is smaller so you could just crop it in post.
you are correct! Good catch! it's never much mattered to me because I always shrink stuff down for web anyway. It's more of a composition tool for me. I mainly use the mapped button for video, in which case everything is 4K or 1080p, and the APS-C stuff seems to record slightly sharper.
10 mpx on apcs mode with sony A7mk3 so only usefull for video.
I still argue that it is useful if you know you are going smaller rez and want certain compositions. That being said, yes, not necessary for stills at all!
UlTrApLeX depends on what you mean by useful, it's true that using that mode is exactly the same like cropping in post-processing but 10MP still allow you to print decent size and for web is more than enough.
It's a great tool! You have to nail the composition so you don't have to crop in post as APS-C mode also reduces megapixels by x1.5, so 24mpx becomes 16 megapixels
Do you think the GH5 or A73 is a better cam for video? Thnx ✌ Down Torontans refer to their city as Ronno or The North
Cars and Cameras really depends. I think technically the format the GH5 captures is better. Also it’s stabilization is much better. But the full frame of the Sony and low light are better.
Sony’s color just slightly beats out the gh5 to me. But with color grading I can get great results with both.
GH5 interface is much better.
If you are vlogging then it’s a no brained. The GH5 has a front facing screen. The Sony does not. The new GH5 firmware made face tracking usable. I actually have a video coming out about all of this soon!
thanks for the video. do we need any plugin to use sony RAW file in lightroom desktop as i am unable to open any RAW file
Rajesh Muthuswamy I personally just use adobe bridge and open raw files in the camera raw editor and then photoshop. A lot of people use Lightroom.
You do not need a plug-in. Just there latest camera raw from adobe
2:37 - Nice shot. In future show more of your shots in your videos.
Was this the 28mm or 35mm Sony glass you used?
35mm!
@@StephanFleet cant believe u took a picture of the one n only Dorre Love, check him out on youtude. Peace
What lut did you use at 0:25? What settings do you use (picture profile) for video? I love the look of your footage!!!
I use pp7. Shoot slog2. I mainly use the delut Wellington LUT but with a lot of custom tweaks.
Stephan Fleet
Thanks
where can I get that LUT?
Do you also drive by putting a brick on the gas pedal and braking less, more or switching to neutral?
I'm not sure what you mean?
Great video. You sound kinda like Owen Wilson.
@2:37 that's the guy from Christforgiveness chanel haha. He's from Canada.
Damn that’s a huge lens.
Hi, Stephan! Thanks for the great A7iii Street Photo tips! I've been doing a lot of street here in Los Angeles and having a good experience with it. I'm shooting a Nikon D750 w 35mm f1.8. Great camera, great lens, very happy. Still, I could hit focus a bit more often than I currently do. So I'm thinking about the already legendary A7iii. I'd love a 35mm f2 or f1.8, but sadly, there's no such lens. It's either the slow Sony 35mm f2.8 or the heavy Sony 35mm f1.4. I was surprised to hear that you're using the 1.4 for street! I tend to shoot around f2. I probably don't need 1.4. But 2.8 is a bit deeper DoF than I'd prefer. The a7iii is a light camera and the 35 2.8 is a crazy light lens, much lighter than my Nikon setup. But if you put the 1.4 on the Sony, then it's a heaver camera+lens than my Nikon DSLR!? I presume you're pretty happy with the 1.4, but I was just wondering if you had more thoughts on the topic. Thanks again for the helpful video!
Glenn Zucman check out the Sony F2 28mm. It’s a bit wider than the 35, but it’s half the size and a super good price. Very sharp. I film most of my vlogs on it. It may be the street lens your looking for!
Also for street I’ve switched to using aperture priority and auto iso, capped at going no higher than 6400. I keep an circ ND filter on there and it’s the only thing I have to dial in.
AF is great on the A7iii though I do find their wide area AF doesn’t always get me what I want. Sometimes I use center area or spot focus.
Thanks Stephan! haha, yes, they've got all kinds of lenses: 35 1.4... 35 2.8... 28 f2... they just don't quite have the one I want: 35 f2! :P I know 28mm isn't that much wider, and that at f2's a good deal, but I'm really hooked on 35mm for street work. I have a 24mm f1.8 that I take out sometimes. It's a fun lens, especially shooting on trains where you can cover things even if someone's sitting really close to you or doing the occasional "pole dance" (dancing with the train's hand hold railing) right in front of you. Even though I do love the 24mm, I shoot the 35mm probably 90% of the time. It just feels best. So even though Sony has a bunch of "close" lenses, they just don't have the one I want. Of the available choices, I'd probably go 35mm f2.8 and just take the loss of a stop. I'm not worried about the stop for speed, but just for background blur. I realize many street photographers prefer greater DoF to see the city and so on, but for me, cutting down on some of the visual distraction feels important. As for the 35mm f1.4 - you walk around with the weight and don't mind it?
And, yes, on my D750 I shoot aperture priority. I usually keep the shutter speed at 1/125 or higher, but I will let the ISO go all the way up to 12,800, which feels acceptable on the D750 for me. I've been shooting a lot in Hollywood lately, and fortunately, there's a lot of light on the street at night, so you can get some nice images at modest ISOs.
You're mostly not using the a7iii eye focus? I was hopeful about that. I do spot on the D750 which is pretty good, but I'd like to do a bit better. Often I'm catching brief moments, so "focus & recompose" can become "focus & shoot" and the composition/cropping isn't perfect.
Zeiss Loxia 35 f/2.0
Thanks, Stephen! US$1200 for a manual focus lens? haha, the 35mm f2.8 is sounding better and better. At least the Loxia is only 3x the weight of the 2.8 instead of 10x the weight like the f1.4! :P
Glenn Zucman Yes, pricey. But they check certain boxes cheaper ones don’t. 5 years ago I woudn’t have considered it. But my shooting has changed and now I would. You know, we just date our cameras, but marry our lenses.
Dorre love the preacher
I own the A7III and it is an awsome all rounder but if you're looking something strictly for street photography then you need to know that the readout from the electronic shutter is still relatively slow, so moving around and shooting in silent mode will result in rolling shutter. Is this a show stopper or something worth paying extra 2k for A9? No, no it isn't.
Yeah, I noticed weird lines on LED displays as well!
Do you use any specific or custom picture profile when shooting?
For stills just RAW uncompressed. For video, I bounce back and forth between Slog-2 and Cinelike-D. I also have a cool lut package for the newer HLG profiles. On the GH5 I often use V-Log, not a huge fan of it though, takes a lot of work... Sometimes I just shoot natural. I guess it depends on how much post color work I wanna set up for myself.
Stephan Fleet thanks for getting back to me! Appreciate the info!
Ok so quick question. Is duck blur better that bokeh? Nice video man. Loving my a7iii too. Nice channel as well.
Well yes. Ducktails beats all!
dont know why this video has dislikes. It's great seeing people use different settings to diversify style
Because it's crap content for wannabe photographers.
amazing camera 😢😢😢
U did this vid on 28 f2?
That's my main go-to for self interview stuff, yeah. Sometimes you'll see my Sony 14-35/F4 in wider shots. The 28F2 is a great lens, especially for the price and size
whats the red tag on your camera?
Cine Antics those are Peak Design connectors for a strap.
You got a subcriber off of you singing the ducktales theme lol
You know what? I'm going to follow you.
😂
You shoot photos through a variable ND?
Most people say that's a no-no. I've never done it before but all I've ever heard is that it's a bad idea
People say a lot of things ;) Here's the thing, on a DSLR its' easy to rotate the filter to a bad spot and get some weird vignetting. On a Mirrorless, you can see what you are getting on the screen, so it makes it easier to adjust. I dunno, on paper I am probably doing something "wrong," but I do what looks good to me.
I've shot photos through my normal 3 stop nd filter but never tried with a variable nd. I have some tiffen variable nd's so maybe I'll try that out.
Lenses you need - 35 1.4 (or new the 40 batis, or sony 28) & 85 1.8 (batis). And +S35 = 4 lenses, primes. Lol.
what camera do you use for a vlog??
Max Jolobailo This is on a sony A7Rii
Max Jolobailo ...with B-Roll on a Sony RX100V
Hey, can you tel me where I can find the Sony a7iii to buy in Toronto or Vancouver?
I don't know tried a camera store in Toronto and they said it was on back order. Got mine in the states.
2:37 u guys whos that black dude??
Dorre love
2mins later FFS
Electric Skateboard -> check
"creative lettering Tattoo" on forearm -> check
A piece of self made clothing that shows that you are a "creator" -> check
video in hotel -> check
Shoot in Manual mode AND in RAW -> duh, of course!
Dude, your video is far from being something original and the pictures you've shown were kind of painful to watch (more Saturation isn't always good). So what's it all about? You have an expensive Camera ( I have the same and I am very happy with it) or that you are a Street Photographer? I don't get it.
To be fair I was living in a condo. Not a hotel room :)
Zzzzz...
I was really excited about this video, till I saw that way he edits his pics..
I'm sorry you arbitrarily didn't like my color grades. I always experiment and don't think there is any one right or wrong way to do anything. I looked on your channel to see if you have any color grading tips or suggestions, but you don't seem to have any. So rather than just throw out a shade. I'd like to challenge you to provide some constructive criticism and post some examples for my audience. Perhaps a healthy dialog will help me and everyone who watches this video learn more from your expertise?
Great response, Stephan! I think people, while in cyber space, forget common social skills. It's sad how people can't provide constructive criticism.
