🚨 REMINDER: I am NOT doing any GIVEAWAYS! Any comment you receive asking you to contact them via Telegram are scams! The bots are now using my profile photo to spread the scam to other videos as well, please do not fall for it! And no, unfortunately blocking bots do not work because they somehow can create new accounts quickly. I've already done my best to block common keywords they use but now they're invading other TH-camrs' videos lol 🙈
Gettem Jason!
I hope that Google can devote the resources to de-bot TH-cam comments - recently I've seen a big increase in bot comments in numerous channels.
I've been watching your videos for years now, Jason, and I am still learning through you. Thank you for your knowledge and how you present yourself to us. It's genuine and I've always liked that about you.
Cheers!
Honestly Jason is why TH-cam is so great, all these amazing filmmaking content. Couldn't thank you enough!
Thanks a lot! I knew I wanted to use the touch focus but was just too lazy to make sure how it worked. Now I've set things up on the A7III and tested it! Works like a charm.
This is great - I definitely need a refresh session on the focus sensitivities with my a6600.
i love how you get right to the point in your video. great info and good tips. good job🙂
what a great video. your attention to detail is impressive, and the little fun clips kept me engaged and learning. Thanks!
I always learn so much from your videos. thank you so much for sharing. im new to photography and shooting videos in general all this helps so much.
Thanks Jason, great video
Thank you i learnt a lot i love your videos keep on
thank you for the tips! super duper helpful!
I liked the last point about spot focus and shifting to manual focus point. Is this useful for architectural and interior videography?
Solid tips Jason. I think we are all guilty of these mistakes.
Super thanks. I learned some good tips.
Omg. I needed this.
Exactly 💯.... thanks for the information...gud job man
Thanks, Jason!
Thanks for the great advice I always shoot on a sony and sometimes get confused with all the different focus types and what they do
This is a great video about focus! Thank you :). Are there any tips / techniques where I can focus my food photos better? The iPhone seems to do a better job of having my whole plate in focus. My A7RV seems to focus only one portion of my plate at f/7 (Everything else is sort blurred out at the same angle). Is there a technique to widen my focus without focus bracketing?
Hey, thank you for your video. Which settings (including best aperture) do you recommend when video shooting 2 people on a Sony A7 III + Sony FE 24mm 1.4 GM? In some cases I see one of the models is slightly out of focus. Best
Valuable information for non Sony users as well 😊 love your content, keep it up 😊
Super helpful vieeo !!! Thanks to you !!!
Helpful Video - Thanks
great tips/reminders, bro!! guilty of making these mistakes too every now and then haha so much stuff to think about while shooting sometimes. haha
Never skipping ads from your channel! Hahaha! Thank you for all your informative content, sir! Are you going to have a review of the FX30?
You know it’s a great video when you come back to like the video at the end of it to find you’ve already hit the like button 😅 Thanks Jason for the hot tips.
Aww thanks for coming back! 🥹
Helpful, thank you
Hi and thanks for the vid, is the last point you gave - the af enabling is good for shooting stills aswell?
Great useful info
Hey Bro how to adjusting on the sony A1 the Product Showcase disable face /eye af,do you have other video seething for the sony a1 bro ????
Im having a hard time with my a7iii focusing. Im typically on a dji ronin sc and film multiple subjects not usually much of just 1 person. What autofucus mode/settings do you think would work best for me?
Thanks for reminding me
Thank you for this.
I just picked up a second hand RX100 vii and as total noob at this stuff I'm trying to figure out the best setting for videoing my sons hockey through the netting, any pointers?
I found this video to be most helpful. As a Sony shooter, I really appreciate this.
I always appreciate your videos. What focus-settings do you use when you record animals and humans at the same time? and when do you use the focus hold and focus toggle function? Regards
Ok so if walking through nyc and not trying to focus on anything or anyone specific meaning I just want the full screen to stay in focus, which settings are best? Using A7s3
Great post, thanks :)
Super useful video. I daresay some of these tips applies to Sony photographers as well. So many shots I've missed due to the wrong focus settings.
hmmmmmmm that is true!!
When I recoding video with my A7 IV and I move I have a blur I think It has to do with my focus setting can you help me with that. I don’t know if I have go look the focus on me or what.
0:50 for example how you focused that scene that everything looks in focus, like a fixed focus of a GoPro camera that has everything in focus? Thanks.
So auto focus tracking sensitivity has been on many bodies for a long time 1 for locked on and 5 for responsive but where do you chafe speed?
I use manual focus with override to single. Best way to use it.
Last tip is absolutely 🔥
funny enough, it was the tip that spawn this entire video. I was gonna just make it only on that but figured I can jampack the video with some other useful advices!
Quick question but I think you answered it. I had some focus breathing trying my very first overhead filming of a cutting board for a cooking video. Lots of arm movement, chopping food and so on.... If I just choose a smaller focus point on the cutting board I think this should fix the problem. Let me know if you have any other tips. Using a ZV-E10 for the overhead shooting. Thanks for the awesome content as usual. 👍
Also turning autofocus off. Note: using Sigma 16mm 1.4f lense. You probably have suggestions I'm sure. Keep up the wizardry, big fan
nice tuto. I am fan of street pphotography. But I have difficulties to focus people in street with a7IV + 24-70GM2... I am using af-c, eye recognition, F/4 min 1/250sec, auto iso, zone tracking and i am pointing my camera to a guy running not so fast, people walking to me, bicycler,... and there is no box on head while my iphone 12 pro max detects any face. only when guy,... is close to me face ad eye switch on but too late for a "feet-head" shoot. What do i do wrong ? i see lot of video with a7III where a guy photographs his wife in garden at 20m and there is a green square on face.
So, today i am stuck with spot tracking which works perfectly but a pity not having "the best eye AF on world" working. I have switched from Z6II to have a good face detection !
I have also noticed on a marketplace that the a7IV detetcs lot of faces with grey squares on faces and when i press shutter, none of them is selected but refocusing on a near subject like a pole,... strange, isn't it ?
Hi bro i need a help with sony a7r2 how to operate and use it
5:37 what was that on your lens?
I wonder why but can you please explain why you have a high shutter speed when shooting videos?
New viewer here, love your style! Keeps me want to keep coming back. As a side any new ASPC Sony cameras coming out in 2023 that you might know of? I really like the small form factor and am seeing why Sony makes such great cameras.
I've been a canon shooter for 20 years and have switched to Sony. I run 2 A1 bodies in G master lenses mainly for still but focus is focus. On canon, when using a long lens, the canon would snap to the subject every time without hunting. I found that Sony has to hunt for every shot. This slows my response time down and also causes blurry or out of focus shots when the camera overrides the focus. It's a tough change since everyone I've seen says Sony is sooo fast. This happens in controlled studio environments and uncontrolled environments. Any suggestions? I've shit with face and eye off as well as on and same result.
Woo.. Zeiss shots! I'm convinced the 85 is filled with some sort of magic color dust. It renders soooo nice.
In an alternate universe where I didn't get stuck on mostly zooms, I have only the Zeiss 25, 40, 85, and 135. That universe won.
If it ain't ZEISS, it ain't nice! 😏Just kidding
Well, I have cheap Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 (first version) and it also makes really nice photos. For fraction of the price. YOu don't always need the best lens from top manufacturer to make nice shots.
a7iii/a7riii has semi eye-tracking, if there is more people in frame you can choose one using smaller area point (less than wide/zone) and it will stick while you hold button even if you point at other people.
Thanks, will give this a try - lots of times I have more than one person in view.
A dumb question: the tracking point stays in the object while the shutter button is half pressed? If not pressed the camera will track the object but not change the focus length? I don’t own a Sony camera but wondering how it works.
These are great tips Jason! Trust me, I've done some of these myself. Especially when I was starting out.
Wow!! Didn't realize subject recognition goes beyond human and animal!! What Sony cameras have this extended AF detection/recognition? (not on my A7c or A6600)
currently a7R V only but I'd suspect we will be seeing this in future cameras going forward!
Absolutely a checklist of wasted-time, footage-wrecking reminders I need to run through BEFORE hitting the red button. Very much along the same lines as asking myself, Did you turn on the audio recorder yet? Thank you! 👏👍
nothing hurts more than you think you got the fire shot and then you hit the Rec button just to see it activate and realizing you weren't recording the whole time 🫠
This man is undefeated
are here any portrait photographers that can help me with the speed & sensitivity?
i shoot mostly street or portraits. i want my camera to grap fous really fast but then stay on and not lose it
I'm having a problem of whenever I am shooting podcast/lives etc, (anything where I have a podcast mic in frame).. My Sony mirrorless seems to lock in focus on the microphone rather than my face. Should be an easy fix. hopefully this video helps.. sheEsH
Bone thrown 🎉
My man Jason!! I have to tell you that I dreamed you last night(Watch your A7R5 video before sleep) and filming a video with you before a zombie event break out! During the escape, I ask you what video format are you filming at this time via your A7S3.
I didn't get the answer in my dream, and now I am asking you again:
What video format would you use during the zombie break out?! Lmao
What makes someone a pro photographer/videographer?
OH my god, finally another Potato Jet video!!!! Just kidding Jason relax. Awesome video 🎉😂
Hello Jason!
hello!
Perhaps a voice command - hocus pocus sony focus - would help ?
touch tracking then manual focus 👌👌👌
Great tips Jason! Tip #7 was my favorite!
thanks Eli!
just wondering. are u sony user? im thinking of getting a7iv. coming from 80D
Hmm, I'm currently in film school where auto focus is not allowed lol. But Sony's AF is so good. Anyway I'm new to Sony, is there a focus mode , where it is auto but when it finds focus switches to manual? Something like that I think I heard in a video but can't rememder. Either way good vid. May our videos be sharp. :)
i think you're referring to DMF
@@JasonVong Ah, yes. Thankyou 🙏🏽
Your channel is a gem 💎 thank you for all information you give us
happy to hear! thank you for watching!
Wait a sec! When did the car/train specific focus get introduced?! That's soooooo cool!!!!
a7R V and likely future alpha camera moving forward!
The odd thing is that there is no other settings so if you’re doing landscape no animals, cars, humans etc which mode to pick? Found this earlier when photographing a tree
Are you hard connecting your smartphone to the camera and controlling it that way? @6:03
That AUTO mode in subject eye detection MUST shrink down to all models via firmware update! It will make you hate your camera, feeling you always need to change that by yourself.
Who did you get your noodles cut from.
Valuable information! SUBSCRIBE TIME!
❤❤❤
Thanks!
super appreciate, thanks Daniel!
Love your happy videos
Keg stuck me good. No more business with them.
Keh not keg.
jason: *tap on it*
me with a6000: 👁👄👁
a6300/a6500 sony had AF in wide focus area as if you had focus puller that read your mind about what should be in focus...
since a73, a6400 and a7s3 etc.., every new camera just did not have usable wide focus area. It would get stuck to something until it leaves the frame completely... I honesly hate af on a7s3/fx3 and fx30 and find it weird no one talked about it, ever.
People with all these new cams around me actually can't believe how much better a6300 does it without any interaction with camera, touchscreen or narrowing AF area.. but then again they entered Sony world after a6300/6500 so they don't know any better.
We’re you in Seville cathedral on Wednesday 11 January?If yes sorry for calling you the Sony guy.I could not remember your name.
When you thank the sponsor for sponsoring "A portion of the video", I ask myself, which portion is that
It is the portion where I talk more about the brand specifically, usually the ad break in the middle of the video
2:25 you will thank me later. i would be scared to be that close to peacock .
Personally, I would appreciate it if you said in the title that this is for video only
I'm guilty of at least half of these lol especially changing the subject from human to animal... kids and the dog sheesh...
Useful video, but maybe include "video focus mistakes" in the title :)
I initially had it as that but someone pointed out that a lot of the same tips can be applied for photos too so I agreed and just made the title more general. Hope its ok!
Except for animal video in the $6500 flagship Sony A1!!!!!
That's...an interesting haircut🤣
Now, it’s the camera that looks for the eye to focus. If there’s something wrong then it’s the camera’s fault.
As a someone who doesn't own any cameras, why am I watching this?
appreciate the support anyway! haha
You should have called this "Autofocus mistakes". I'm a video journalist and most of the time use manual.
Dude! If it's in the manual, its not exactly a secret.
Including pros 😂😂😂
Focus mistake #0: Holding the camera the way you are in the thumbnail. That's the way you hold a camera when you are pushing for a picture with your camera. Not when you are actually using it.
Nice video but the guy is a little cringy...
Please stop smiling
why are you in a hotel rm
Thanks!
thanks Jordan!
No thank you , your videos have been a huge part of my journey into photography! Keep ‘‘em coming !
