Been fighting this damn camera since I got it. I’m 2 hours into a TH-cam rabbit hole and this vid is the first one to make me feel like I made progress. Thank you man
Even though i go to film school, I've learned so much from your videos and they actually motivated me to stop being hesitant from making my own work outside of university projects and take a leap! Just invested in the sony fx30 and im glad i'll have your videos for guidance. Thanks so much!
Man, just simply put: Great video. Just got mine so still need to find the time to go through all this, but I’ll come back with questions If I have them. Your explanation style is very straightforward and easy to follow.
thank you i just bought my Fx30 and your video is very helpul... i still dont understand the S-log3.. it seem to be super complicated to master the s-log3
Can you do a Video on how to match the Fx30 with the A7v video when duel shooting 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. I been trying to setup a A and B Cam with this and the color for slog seems off.
Let me flip the situation a bit.... What about for live Streaming and not actually recording? What would you recommend for that scenario? We are wanting to do extreme low light at airports at night. Curious on your thoughts!
Your videos have been a blessing in my introduction to real cinematography with the FX-30. Thanks a lot for your informative and inspiring videos! What would be your first choice for the ultimate fast aps-c cine lens with 3D pop? My FX-30 was bundled with a pz 10-20 4G which I should have done more research on, as I don't do vlogging.
Hi Kofi. Thank you for this video. I'd like to know how much you can adjust the shutter speed in the Variable Shutter setting. Since you can't get a 1/48 shutter speed, how close can you get to that by using the variable shutter option? Also, does the camera offer 1/45 sec shutter?
Excellent video. I have a settings question: How can I set the control wheel on the back of my FX30 to adjust ISO? I found a video on how to do it on the FX3, but the FX30 menu is different I have my A7Siii set up like this and I want this new camera to mirror that camera’s settings (for consistency of muscle memory), but I can’t figure out how to do it. Thanks for your help.
@@KofiYeboah it works if you click the ISO button at the top, but that’s an extra step I don’t have to do on my A7Siii. With that camera, I just turn the wheel to change the ISO. No need to click a button.
Got this camera today, and was curious about some of the new settings compared to my ZV-E10. Looks like there's a bit more to it, but nothing too bad? This was extremely helpful!
Thanks for this! You have some of the best content out there for the FX30. With memory recall we can set up a different profile for different frame rates and corresponding shutter? And use it as quick switch that works similarly to 180 degree shutter? Ex: Recall 1 - 24fps @ 1/50th, Recall 2 - 60fps @ 1/125
Absolutely torn between the fx3 and FX30. It’s driving me bonkers. Despite shooting full frame I’m so compelled to go for the fx30. I will make a decision tonight 😩
@@KofiYeboah - I ended up leaning into the fx3. 😩 Let's just say this was a very hard decision and took many weeks, watching many of your videos and so many others in addition to speaking with some friends who had both. The recurring theme seemed to be "it's an amazing camera but if you can get the fx3 then why not" 😩. thanks so much for your content and reply
@@KofiYeboah thanks! Im definitely not whining about it. Im incredibly blessed beyond measure. It's a privileged "problem" to have as they're both insane additions. Coming from the canon world I am amazed how much I've come to appreciate the Sony space after I reluctantly tapped my toe in the kiddie pool. Nevertheless, thanks again for the responses and the fantastic content. It should go without saying that I'll be one of the many here watching you crush it.
Great video Kofi! I don't own a FX30 or even shoot with Sony but you're very informative and interesting to listen to so I sat through the whole thing 😂
Can someone help me 😫 when I record my footage it looks perfectly fine with the color balance but as soon as I play it back in the camera monitor, it looks really warm. Why is that?
Hey... I have a question if you use adobe for post processing... I just got a fx30 a few weeks ago & was introduced to the feature "auto detect log" that works for SLOG footage... every time I import my log footage in adobe its slog and very much so still looks SLOG.. but in properties it reads out to me as a REC.709 clip (not auto bringing me into rec.709 as the feature is being promoted) The only way to quickly get it out of log is to interoperate the footage and bypass it over to slog3... I can't help but think something is wrong with my fx settings wise although I can't think of a reason... ive tried regular slog3...slog3 with cine... I've went into picture profile 1 and set them as logs outside of the traditional log screen... nothing I do seems to work & I can't for the life of me understand why... I'm praying someone can help me understand what's going on to a certain extent because its driving me nuts thinking something is either wrong with adobe or my fx30...
Hi Kofie, love your videos. I am a new writer learning the ABCs of photography and working on my first indoor, low budget film (which will probably end up on TH-cam) Do you think we can shoot it with 1080p+24fps? Cause I want a decent good image instead of high definition to engage more in a story Instead of visual.
Might be a silly question, but when you showcase all the Fn settings - do you have a way to actually go to the value like you show in the video, or are you just editing in your set up values for those specific functions? Thanks
@@KofiYeboah Each item on the Fn Menu you show, you instantly go to the value that it is set to. I was wondering whether you can go to that value from within that menu, or if it is just footage of you showing that Fn Menu item and then a cut to the actual sub-menu where you can change said value... If that makes sense. I'm also facing a struggle with the Memory Recall. It kind of lost its purpose for me since it seems to "block" my White Balance that I've set at that time. I thought to put like 25FPS 1/50SHTR SLOG3 on MR1 50FPS 1/100 SHTR SLOG3 on MR2 etc... But If my White Balance happened to be on 5600K when I set my settings on MR1 then once I go to MR1 it's always set to 5600 and I can't change JUST that so switching quickly between mode for different scenarios is impossible. It's only possible to do this for very static and specific situations that are literally bit by bit the same.
Did not know focus breathing compensation worked on Manual focus then I can assume some of those sigma or 7artisans cine glass that have focus breathing issues FX30 can ameliorate the problem. Talk about about FX30 coming in clutch 🔥🔥🔥
upgrading FX30 with version 2.0 works with V60 UHS-II 128GB SD card: up to 130MB/s write speed and 250MB/s read speed Lexar SD 128GB 270MB/s 1800x Class 10 UHS-II V60? with these two sdxc version 2.0 does fx30 work?
Can I ask a question to some awesome knowledgeable commenter here? I’m super confused about something…. I have an FX30. To shoot in log, I understand I how to change it in “log settings,” yada yada yada. But what’s the deal with Picture Profile via Exposure menu? Can’t I also shoot in log going this route? When I change to log shooting in log settings, picture profile is greyed out. Is picture profile just so you can plug in an additional monitor? Can someone explain this to me? Sorry for being a dingbat. 🙏🙏
Thanks so much! One question - setting the Details to the lowest setting- why? Is that just removing digital sharpening- or is it actually softening the image? If the first it makes sense to me- if the second then I’d rather soften in post…
14:16 "STABALIZATION" eh? stabby mcstab-stab not staBILIzation like stabilize it? I don't have a bayonet mount on my FX30 but you could probably get one for yours, if that's your jam. 🤭
@@KofiYeboah Riffin off and poking fun at your misspelling of 'stabilization' as 'stabAlization' with the on screen text in the vid at 14:16 onwards 🙂, check the video and you'll see what I mean. You have an A instead of an I there.
Nice Video. I really want to try the custom PP to get less noise on the second base ISO. Such a bummer that it's not possible to customize the picture profile when using the log shooting mode / Cine EI. At the same time its also a huge bummer that the ISO button can't be set to just switch between the base ISO when not shooting in log mode. Aaaaand another bummer is that the AWB L (lock) feature is not available in Cine EI. I don't want to use AWB so it doesn't shift while recording, but to set it up quickly the AWB L feature allows for a super efficient workflow. Grey card is just not viable on an event with multiple areas with different lights and stuff. It seems there is always something stupid / uneccessary
@@KofiYeboah Right, that just works with log shooting off and using a Slog3 PP too. I really don't get it. Would be so easy to allow AWB L while not recording in Cine EI Mode, since there is absolutely not difference then dialing it in manually except it is quicker. That's similar to the fact that ever since I got my first Sony Alpha camera many years and generations ago, when using those memory slots, one regular and one for slow mo for example, you can't set a custom white balance any more. Seriously WTF? That is such a crazy incomprehensible nonsens. Same for not beeing able to switch between base ISOs whenever I want instead of beeing force to dial through all those irrelevant numbers. Same with shutter angle and the list goes on.
@@KofiYeboah Also I have to say it has nothing to do with the price. FX3/6 is no better when it comes to those things. Just a lot of stuff that somebody decided that never uses cameras, it seems.
@@SCHAUDENLUCAS the fx6 could benefit from a better WB tool 100%, and the clip scrubbing is kinda dumb and the top handle thing, outside of that imo I love it!
When using PP1 with slog 3 and cine etc it doesn't show slog 3 at top of display but when you turn on log shooting in settings then flex or cine it displays slog3 at top of screen .. when using PP 1 is it still fully slog3 even though it's not showing slog3 at top of display?
@@KofiYeboah okay so to confirm picture profile 1 when turning on slog 3 is still slog 3 it's just not showing slog3 at top so it's like same as flexible ISO mode without having flexible ISO turned on
@@KofiYeboah but I'm wondering about when using picture profiles when slog3 is selected. If you turn on log shooting in menu it disables picture profiles
Hey bro how come i can’t select my PP when I’m on Cine Ei? It only highlights it where I can select it when I turn my log settings to “off.” Am I doing something wrong or what?
And then you came to the realization "You really don't know how to use this thing" - the money shot 😄 So damn true for a lot of us that made an effort to get the little sister of the Creator's camera of choice 😁😁😁
All the info here is fantastic. But...the lack of space, breathing room, in the vocals is exhausting. It doesn't give any time to actually think about what you are saying and absorb it. If I do, I've already missed half of whatever you are saying next. I'm a professional instructor and know a little bit about absorbing information. My fingers are numb from pausing the video and backing it up to hear it again and think about it. Don't get me wrong, this is great. It just needs...space. ;-)
@@KofiYeboahThat would work. I guess it's like a Texan trying to listen to a New Yorker. Or a Boomer to a Gen Z. Oh, wait...maybe I'm older than I think I am :-)
@@ailo4x4 if I talk slow everyone loses their mind, and i naturally talk fast, these types of videos are kinda a “learn and reference” most people (I think) didn’t watch it all the way in one go, they’d pick parts of it that applied and used that ! Either way, anything from 2023, 0.7 speed, does the trick
Wonder if someone here can help. I have the FX30 but have some issues with baked in LUTs. I'm not able to use baked in LUTs while shooting S-log footage since the Picture Profiles are blocked whenever you shoot S-log. Can you still shoot log combined with baked in LUTs or not?
Hey man, first of all, great vid, i have a question i hope you can answer and i keep getting mixed answers from alot of creators. Can i shoot using an sd v90 card in 4k 60fps XAVC S and S-I using slog3/S-cinetone 4:2:2 10 bit ? Currently i own a 6400 but gratefully i out grown it and want to get the fx30 so i can color grade my footage and get more professional looking videos.
@@KofiYeboah And if i want to récord in 60fps 4k but in XACV S ínstead of all i? Can i then use a v90? For TH-cam/social medial purpose work i think XACV S can be color graded just fine
The way I see it, unless you plan on shooting in XAVC S-I or XAVC S-I DCI (i.e. the highest quality codecs), there's really not much of a point to getting the FX30 to begin with. If all you're looking for is "better than a smartphone", but not necessarily cinematic quality, there's no point in getting a cinema camera. Just get a Sony 6400 (or a 6600 if you want built-in stabilization) and you'll get what you need.
h265 is actually easier to work with , especially davinci due to the new update also, the algorithm is much better for h265 compared to h264 ( coding tree units vs macroblocks)

Si se fijan, estando en el modo película no muestra en pantalla el ícono de los perfiles (ejemplo pp1) pero si lo muestra estando en modo Fotografía.
In photo mode it won’t because PP is for video if that makes sens
When using PP1 with slog 3 and cine etc it doesn't show slog 3 at top of display but when you turn on log shooting in settings then flex or cine it displays slog3 at top of screen .. when using PP 1 is it still fully slog3 even though it's not showing slog3 at top of display?
Yup, log shooting in Cine ei is ONLY available in s-log3; you can’t use Cine in something like s Cinetone for example
@@KofiYeboah okay so to confirm picture profile 1 when turning on slog 3 is still slog 3 it's just not showing slog3 at top so it's like same as flexible ISO mode without having flexible ISO turned on
@@chrisjohnsonfilms if you’re in log shooting, the log mode is s-log3, correct 👍🏾
@@KofiYeboah but I'm wondering about when using picture profiles when slog3 is selected. If you turn on log shooting in menu it disables picture profiles
Yo, does the Sony Alpha ZV-E1 have a cinema video setting?
Not shre
Hey bro how come i can’t select my PP when I’m on Cine Ei? It only highlights it where I can select it when I turn my log settings to “off.” Am I doing something wrong or what?
Unfortunately, Cine ei is only a log shooting mode
@@KofiYeboah oh ok I was just making sure I wasn’t missing something! That makes sense now. Preciate that my man!! 🤝🏾💪🏾
@@stephens_iconic_images no worries !
And then you came to the realization "You really don't know how to use this thing" - the money shot 😄 So damn true for a lot of us that made an effort to get the little sister of the Creator's camera of choice 😁😁😁
@@cristiat thankfully , the internet to the rescue !
@@KofiYeboah Kofi is larger than the Internet 😉
All the info here is fantastic. But...the lack of space, breathing room, in the vocals is exhausting. It doesn't give any time to actually think about what you are saying and absorb it. If I do, I've already missed half of whatever you are saying next. I'm a professional instructor and know a little bit about absorbing information. My fingers are numb from pausing the video and backing it up to hear it again and think about it. Don't get me wrong, this is great. It just needs...space. ;-)
Try watching at .7 speed 👍🏾
@@KofiYeboahThat would work. I guess it's like a Texan trying to listen to a New Yorker. Or a Boomer to a Gen Z. Oh, wait...maybe I'm older than I think I am :-)
@@ailo4x4 if I talk slow everyone loses their mind, and i naturally talk fast, these types of videos are kinda a “learn and reference” most people (I think) didn’t watch it all the way in one go, they’d pick parts of it that applied and used that !
Either way, anything from 2023, 0.7 speed, does the trick
Wonder if someone here can help. I have the FX30 but have some issues with baked in LUTs. I'm not able to use baked in LUTs while shooting S-log footage since the Picture Profiles are blocked whenever you shoot S-log. Can you still shoot log combined with baked in LUTs or not?
Go to your log settings and toggle “embed lut” on 👍🏾
Are you using PAL or NTSC? why i did not found 24p? sorry just bought fx30 today. still learning. thank you so much!
Think I’m on NTSC
Great video! I have so much to learn about this stupid camera 😢
You’ll have fun with it !
Hey man, first of all, great vid, i have a question i hope you can answer and i keep getting mixed answers from alot of creators.
Can i shoot using an sd v90 card in 4k 60fps XAVC S and S-I using slog3/S-cinetone 4:2:2 10 bit ?
Currently i own a 6400 but gratefully i out grown it and want to get the fx30 so i can color grade my footage and get more professional looking videos.
So I tried mine and 4k60 XAVCS is fine , all intra you can shoot at 24fps,👍🏾 I was using an Angelbird v90
@@KofiYeboah So in order to récord in 60fps or above in ALL I i need cr express cards ?
@@jp.audiovisual at least in my experience
@@KofiYeboah And if i want to récord in 60fps 4k but in XACV S ínstead of all i? Can i then use a v90?
For TH-cam/social medial purpose work i think XACV S can be color graded just fine
@@jp.audiovisual I’ve been fine on V90 cards
Thank you :)
Anytime !
Thank you❤
You’re welcome!
hi kofi, my name is tilly and i am Ghanaian . I’m in new york. I got my fx3 about 6 months ago and I need help.
Thanks!! I have a Problem. I get the fx30 with the newest FW 2.0 but i can‘t choose 24 fps. Only 23.98, 119,98 ect… habe you any idea?
DCI 4K shooting mode 👍🏾
@@KofiYeboah thanks, but i see others they can choose xavc hs in 24
No idea , I just use dci 4K
Would you recommend these same settings for the FX3?
Yeah, outside of the focus breathing comp, I think the settings are pretty consistent
Cheers so much for me this is the epitome of how to set up and film without it!
Thanks ! Glad it helped!
Thank you
The way I see it, unless you plan on shooting in XAVC S-I or XAVC S-I DCI (i.e. the highest quality codecs), there's really not much of a point to getting the FX30 to begin with. If all you're looking for is "better than a smartphone", but not necessarily cinematic quality, there's no point in getting a cinema camera. Just get a Sony 6400 (or a 6600 if you want built-in stabilization) and you'll get what you need.
Good thing these companies offer choices so people can make their decisions for themselves 👍🏾
Going in raw 😂 this dude
🌚
Does it have a pause button?
Uh not exactly but you can pause playback
@@KofiYeboah I mean, pause button while shooting video, so it would be less edit because you can connect another scene.
Nope not that I know of
Thanks
Why not shoot at 1/48th? Just curious
Firmware update came out in April 2023 lol this is I think January 2023
@@KofiYeboah oh. Mine just came in yesterday I bought two FX30 (late to the game 😆) and pre ordered the Sony Burano with Cooke SP3 set excited.
h265 is actually easier to work with , especially davinci due to the new update
also, the algorithm is much better for h265 compared to h264 ( coding tree units vs macroblocks)
I had so many issues on my intel devices back in the day and abandoned it entirely
@@KofiYeboah back in the day , those are the key wotds. Now h264 is worst
@@petrub27 lol h.264 for me be lookin aiight though!
@@KofiYeboah Intel 11,12,13 Gen have h.265 encoders and decoders. Footage scrubs like butter due to QuickSync.
time stamp kpls
S-Cineton isnt showing up
It’s one of your picture profiles, turn off log shooting
You’re titles got messed up. You said audio settings and the title said AF settings. Lol good video though!
Lol good eye!
Can we please agree the abbreviation “PP” needs a name change.
lmfao if your minds in the gutter lol
Pp that fits you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ahah its not about the size of the boat, its about the bit rate at 120fps
What is the sense of you telling us this without instructions to say go here to the tool box, then select this or that?
Is there a time stamp to what you’re referring to or?
did u steal it lmaooo
Yes
$300 for dat tough memory card? Who does Sony think they are?????
Tbf the $300 card came out with the $4000 camera
to fast why always.....
