WHY YOUR SKIN TONES SUCK: WHITE BALANCE a7iii a7riii
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- We know the Sony cameras have been known to have okay skin tones but the a7iii and a7riii's new color science is a huge improvement. Going from a photographer to a filmmaker early on I never understood the importance of setting my white balance in camera. I want to save you time making the mistakes I made early on. Setting up your white balance in camera will save you time in post correcting colors and give you more flattering skin tones out of your Sony cameras. I'll show you how to set a custom white balance in your Sony alpha camera and how to use Gary Fong's Color reference white balance tools. I use this method on my sony a7iii and a7riii every time I start filming or take portrait photos.

For those of you who are new to the channel my name is Jason Anthony but everyone calls me Jay. I grew up in New York and moved to California a little over a year ago. I love creating content and landscape photos are my thang! California has some amazing national parks and I love exploring them with good company! I drop videos every week so make sure to SUBSCRIBE to make sure you don't miss them!
Jay, great vid, and awesome tip. I just posted a vid on my channel and the struggle was REAL for WB. When I first started shooting there was just so much to remember I couldn't take it all it in. Now each time I get out I'm adding a bit more experience, and remembering a few more tricks.
That's it dude, I've said it in the past I've learned the most by making mistakes! Sometimes it sucks but being able to learn from them are huge. There is a lot to remember thats why I tell everyone asking about color grading and cool effects to take it easy and learn the basics! I'm going to check the video out now, if you ever have questions man hit me up!
Does this work for flat-earthers the same way?
This comment legit made me laugh hahaha
I have to confess - I never set custom white balance but I really need to do it for my future projects. I do have a basic question on that: Let's say I'm shooting in one and the same environment but shooting my subject in different angles so the light source will come from different directions. Do I have to set the white balance for each angle separately? I hope not. This would take away a lotta flexibility you need during documentary shoots.
I’ve done that when Gary first came out with them. But I’ve learned that using grays are for exposure, not for white balance.
On my cinema camera and sony I use false color and expose for middle grey, using the grey dome gives me the most accurate skin tones from my experience and I personally see it in the footage. I've never been a fan of the white cards honestly! Appreciate the insight!
@@ImJasonAnthony What do you mean by you use “false color”? Where is that on the A7III?
@@snapjacksonphotography done on an external monitor.
Hey Jason, thank you for the great content! The problem I find with A7iii is when you custom white balance in manual it isn't available in your custom memory modes as it hasn't been stored. How do you work around this for video?
thanks for the tips J!!!
Dropping white balance knowledge!!!Digging the new set man. Great stuff as always
Thanks bro, some dude with a pickup helped me grab this WOOD hahaha
BRO! First off audio, SPOT ON haha! Second this is straight fire! I feel this is INVALUABLE information you're providing to your audience
Thank you bro I think I need to dial it in a little more it sounds good on my laptop but on my tv its too basey for it! A work in progress tho! Appreciate the love mane!
The audio of this video is amazing 🎬
Awesome thanks.
I use the color scopes on an external monitor to dial in white balance wherever possible. It seems especially helpful for dialing in green/magenta shift that can be hard to accurately judge in camera - and where I think a lot of the bad skin tones come from.
Mike Fowler hell yeah bro, external monitors come in clutch for various reasons from false color, waveforms, etc just an overall necessary tool to use!
Dropping that fire again! Almost to 9k my dude! Keep up the great content brother!
Scott! Thanks for the help bro seriously!!!! Couldn't do it without your support, glad we've been able to kick it.
@@ImJasonAnthony My dude its always a blast! Anytime bro.
Dude you have change my methood to film! Love your video thanks alot for the tip for the Grab Gary's- the are helping me soo much!
Jason, this is great tips. Loved it.
You didn't add Gary's video. Thank you
How do you deal with custom white balance when going from indoors to outdoors in the same shot?
This man. The stress.
Dean Manteghi until I get the answer auto WB it is for me. No one seem to answer this question whenever I ask.
Like always J great work and have a great one today.
Appreciate it Michael! We still need to link up soon!
@@ImJasonAnthony Anytime J i'm ready.
Hey Jason! Thanks for the great tip. But how do you set your white balance when vlogging? (So always changing setting and light ecc.)
Thanks for the video. I’m new to doing videos so I have been visually setting it up but I will use this method. What key light do you use?
Hey bro thanks give it a shot it can help in the long run. I'm using the aperture 120d like most people!
do you need to do this every time you film in a different location? Or is it set it and forget it kinda thing?
We'll with lighting always changing and different types of lights I would suggest if indoors to always set a custom white balance. On sunny days outside 5600k is the go to but remember if its cloudy or you're in the shade just select those options on your camera instead of sunny weather. you should be fine!
Your AUDIO is on fleek
Hi, maybe you covered this, but does it matter if your camera is set on a picture profile setting before you adjust the white balance?
I enjoyed this video - thanks. For stills, I use flashes in softboxes and start with a very dark background when shooting portraits. How can I set my white balance using a card in this scenario?
Can I use a piece of Paper to whitebalance?
Didn't even know about this product, thanks so much great video
Great dude , good content!
What if you’re out and about on the town shooting?
Great tip Anthony. Link to Gary's video in description?
very informative and helpful for a newbie like me, thank you so much.
I'm new to cameras & stuffs and have been doing a few vlogs, so this means that I would have to set the white balance every time I change locations right!!!
how would you set white balance no a vlog like your holding the camera in your hand and moving around constantly???? Help please.
Thanks a ton.
Hey, did u know you can stay in movie mode & do custom white balance. At least in the A73 anyways.
Swooping one up RIGHT NOW! Nice tutorial brotha!
Name or Link of the Intro-Beat?
Awesome video really helpful! What's the name of the first song?
I'll have to check it was off of Artlist
@@ImJasonAnthony thank you
I use either a color checker passport or an expodisc
I will have to try these out....
Michael Baltierra hey mike, I also have an expodisc! The white dome is similar in regards to how you’d use it!
Anthony, thanks for the reply and thanks for the info! 👍🤘
How often do you have to set the white balance? For example I am in a forrest, but the light shifts dramatically because of the shadows being in one spot and sunlight in another. Do you have to set white balance each time you shift light areas? Or do you only do it once?
Whoa nice intro!!!! Thx for the vid bro!
Thanks for checking it out Jimmy, trying to step up the channel for sure!
How would you set WB if you are doing run and gun shooting outdoors in different environments? I usually have mine set to auto but am not always happy with the look, esp. in low light (shade, cloudy day).
Thank you!
Màster of the universe, great tip!
Hahaha just trying to give helpful tips brother! Appreciate the support always!
Could somebody pleas help me, i am a sony a7iii owner. I want to set a custom WB and i have set 120p settings to 2 (on the wheel) and 4k to 1 (on the wheel). Now i want a custom WB, i know its a problem and you have to co to manuel mode or so and to set a custom WB and than go back again, but if i go back du mode 1 or 2 the custom WB istn´t there any more. Could some one help me? i hav a videoshoot in 8 hours :(
Hey bro you just have to remember what Kelvin was set then you can go into those dials and pick the temperature manually! Jump into the white balance and scroll down to the K with the circle and you can select the number!
@@ImJasonAnthony thanks man, i was searching sooooo freaking long where i can set my custom white balance, you saved me😊. Thanks a lot... grear channel😊👌🏼
Jason Anthony!! What’s up bro!! Greetings from Spain! Big fan of your videos could you do a tutorial about intro clips for the TH-cam videos! Thanks!!✌🏾
OK so how do you use this in post for video? There's no link in the description
Does white balance matter or has any effect on raw if you are processing RAW files in post?🤔
good tip!!
Thank you Mike!!!!!
Thank You :)
Simple step that many miss. Way to break it down 👍
Thank you Claude! Means a lot bro!
video starts around 1:00
When should I use the grey card or the white one? I'm confused
It's up to you, they both will set white balance. I personally prefer the grey over the white because grey is more neutral.
@@ImJasonAnthony ah I see thanks
I RARELY use the same exact white balance in video as the environment it was shot it. Nobody does..especially if you use color grading.
That's why I said like in a studio with the same lighting setup brother!
YES!
I've a question. example: I'm shooting a 30min video of a lession, set made up with what I've... 2 soft box, one used as a key light, second one used as rim light plus the light that comes from a window behind the key light that fills the room that is still pretty dark otherwise...white balance left to auto (a7iii), the results are that during the 30min video, lights changes, skin tones passes from what I wanted at the begin to something different (still acceptable but the transition from a tone to another pisses me off especially if there's a jump cut from something I've to cut) what I'm doing wrong? is it only the auto white balance ? do I fix this setting it manually or I should close the window and get 100% of the light in the scene under control to fix it without having to deal with this in post??
thanks for the unnecessary long intro, start 0:53 ...or even better 3:29
I dont find myself setting CWB when i shoot weddings. :(
Weddings can be tough, I've shot weddings and have had to eyeball it because of the fast pacing of the events and how fast the scene is constantly changing!
