    I just picked up the Sony 70-200 and had never used it in the field. Day 1 the price (even for the f4) was justified. 70-200 is the PERFECT addition to a kit and you can still shoot at 70 if you don’t want that crazy compression. 👏🏾

    With living here in Alaska when I ordered my Sony A7R V I ordered the Sony 70-200mm 2.8 ii with it and the 1.4 and the 2x converters and also got the 200-600mm lens and so glad I did for the wildlife here and ended up getting the Viltrox 16mm 1.8 for the northern lights

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WTH THIS MEANS: If you are using a lens with the
    Optical SteadyShot™ (OSS) feature, then the In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS)
    or SteadyShot selection of the camera will be unavailable
    My Sony FE 4.5-5.6/70-300 G OSS lens has a switch on the barrel marked "Optical Steady Shot: On/Off"
    My A7R4A has an option of turning IBIS (in body image stabilization) on and off.
    Question: When IBIS (in body image stabilization) is turned on, should the Optical Steady Shot switch on the lens barrel be turned on or off?
    Note: I have seen statements to the effect that IBIS and lens stabilization should not be used together. Does this apply to the A7R4A ?
    They work together. Here is the explanation from Sony.
    ”If you are using a lens with the Optical SteadyShot™ (OSS) feature, then the In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) or SteadyShot selection of the camera will be unavailable. When both the camera and lens have the feature, the lens stabilization overrides the menu system of the camera and the systems work in conjunction with each other to provide a 5-axis stabilization system. If you connect a lens that does not have the SteadyShot feature or turn off the feature on a lens that does, then the feature selection is available within the camera menu and the camera.”

    Help me please!
    And why the options?

    • @benhurisaq7712
      @benhurisaq7712 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I were you I would choose these
      1) [Sony A7RV] for photo & video because it has 61mp, 4 axis screen, new futures autofocus, slog3 10bit 4:2:2 60fp internal recording & full frame sencer .....
      2) [Sony FX3] for just cinema video
      because of the lowlight, 4k slog3 4:2:2 120fp internal recording & small size cinema camera
      But before all make sure you have a skill & story to shoot ✌️

    Love it! Let's talk focus -- did you lock the focus on the bridge one time and another on the ledge to get you in focus and then went out to the point to take the photo, or did you use the app to tap to change focus and trigger the shutter? Keep up the great work, Sidney! 👏

    Terrible thing to say but living in the SF Bay Area, that I am surprised is that you did get robbed or pistol whipped for your camera gear. Believe me it happens frequently here it's on our news. I think it was last year a group followed a photographer from the same place to their home 40miles away, Chelsea and Tony Northup did video about it.
