I retired from the Army and decided to start a business in real estate video and photography and I picked up my Sony A7r 4 and 3 different lenses. I've had other cameras in the pass but needed the upgrade, its been a passion I've had for many years and now I want to take it to the next level. Your video was great, it help me a lot to navigate through the menu. Thanks!
That's a great common sense guide to setting up the camera for real world photography - rather than the settings for negligible improvements that no one will ever notice. Thanks!
you may have the best camera in the world, it is nothing if you don't master it - Thank Chris for putting this together.
I too like the sound on this.
Nicely done Chris, I really enjoy the minimalism it helps to keep the focus where it should be.
Also, I'm a big fan of the colour, contrast and sharpness levels, spot on mate.
Well I just discovered your channel and I’m in love. Love your style of photography and the way you explain things :) thanks Soooooooo much!
Really helpful, thank you for recording this video and providing all the detailed info!
Excellent video! Thank u for taking the time and effort to helps us setup the camera... great content, great style... you saved us a ton of heartache.
Informative and helpful as always. Massive thanks for the tips, Chris! Keep up the great work, mate.
Very helpful! I bought the camera a while ago and then didn’t have time to use it so I’m just now learning all the settings. Thank you!
Thanks for all the insight!! The depth of knowledge was amazing!
I just rented this camera for a shoot having never used it before, and trying it out to see if I want to invest in it. This video was so helpful, I hate going through the menus and setting up new cameras but this made it quick and easy and definitely helped my shoot go much more smoothly. Thank you!
I’m waiting for my camera to come in the mail. Super excited to try these new features I’m upgrading from the A7Rii
This is awesome and extremely helpful. I feel like you have to truly hunt for quality photography content as it seems everyone is running videography on TH-cam.
I already own a A7rii and am about to take delivery of a A7riv. I have checked out quite a few videos on how to set up the camera, and this is one of the very best. It's clear and easy to follow, with everything explained. Many thanks for producing it.
Thanks mate. That’s a big upgrade haha
Just moving from Fujifilm, really helpful thanks Chris.
Thanks so much mate, this video really helped me out! I just discovered your channel and keen to explore more of your content. Cheers mate!
Definitely a marked improvement with the clarity on sound.
man that DRO setting, you just made me the most happy person out there. I couldnt find anybody giving some good explanation on to why my pics got so dark in LR.
Thank you very much because not everyone is so eager to share such news and valuable experience. I appreciate it very much. Good luck at work, lots of health. Greetings from Poland ... you also have "fans" here. Thank you for many very interesting videos :)
Nice one Chris, thanks for the tips !
Just got my a7sii
Really helped me get the same settings I have on my a6500!
Thank you!
Thanks Chris, this video is exactly what I needed. Got my a7rvi and 2.8 macro 90mm G OSS today.
Keeping the a6100 around for casual stuff and alternate angle on remote ;)
A Huge Thumbs up Chris!!! I was determined to shoot in manual mode only, but after watching this tutorial I think i'll be shooting in aperture priority mode more often now. Thank you!!! It's really cool while back button focusing, you can half press the shutter to see what ISO is being used before you take the shot when auto ISO is selected in Aperture Priority mode.
Thanks mate great feedback
Awesome stuff. Thanks so much! 👍😊
Love your quick thorough explanations!
Hey Chris, just a massive thank you for your Sony tutorials especially the set up videos as the menu is so different from Nikon. I made the switch to Sony (A7iii) and did my first wedding over the weekend with it (with a Nikon D750 as back up) and was blown away by the ease of use, eye tracking and the EVF when in bright sunlight. I will be getting another one to replace the Nikon's. Love the videos, keep them up.
That’s awesome man thanks
Great advice very thorough. My camera is set up now. I’m happy to start shooting
Very helpful thanks for posting!
Very good information, thank you for sharing. I mainly shoot family portraits or also fall foliage pictures.
Thanks for the detailed video!
thanks man . great video !
Excellent video. Very helpful.
Very useful. Thank you
I have Sony alpha 7riv Your video is great. It was helpful for me ❤ .
thank you so so much....... you are the best TH-cam teacher ever
Great video just got my camera today
nz seems incredible. be well, family!
APS-c turning 55 to 130 mm was a bit off 😆😆 Everything else super helpful and spot on man, thank you!!
Many thanks Chris ...
Thanks Chris!
I am saving the money to get this camera 📸 I can’t wait
PERFECT
❤❤❤❤❤❤thanks
Thanks heaps mate. Love from Pakuranga.
For Auto ISO due to the new menu, make sure you don't actually adjust the menu he shows you. Hover over the auto setting you selected and scroll to the right. Use that to select "AUTO" Iso minimum and maximum
brillent
Thank you for your very informative video.
I'm looking for the information, but I can't figure out how many shutters are possible with this Sony A7R IV ?
Did cleaning mode on the R4 change from the R3? On my r3, it shakes the sensor to remove dust.
Thanks for the awesome content!
Hi,
In regard to the frame rates it is always best to set them based on the power grid in your area. For example I live in Mesa, Arizona, USA; and our power grid cycles at 60 Hertz. So, I set my frame rate to 30, 60, or 120 fps. If I lived in Europe then I would set my frame rate to 25, 50, or 100 fps; because their power grid cycles at 50 Hertz. This also makes the math easy when shooting slow motion; 50 or 60 fps gives me 50% speed, and 100 or 120 gives me 25% speed.
Talk to you later,
Mathew
Can you do for CANON R5 AS WELL? The same video that you did the SONY A7RIV comparison video? I would like to achieve the same tone like the image
Another great vid Chris. At the end you mention that you don't switch to function menu 3 to save time. So do you just hit the video record bottom and use your aperture settings you have live at the moment? This could be a good video topic to do if you like one day. Cheers mate.
Yep that’s right
Just switched to Sony, great video, thanks! Btw, have you ever heard you look just like Seth Rogen?!
Hi, I have the Sony A7RV. When I use the sensor cleaning function (dust) and run the command, the sensor does not vibrate like in the Sony A7IV, but remains still and only a slight tick tick is heard. People told me that it is normal of this sensor do not vibrate why Sony A7RV uses new generation ultrasound. This is true ?
Nice
How do u find the raw uncompressed files from this camera working with ipad OS lightroom and photoshop?is the workflow slow?can the ipad handle such files?
Hi Chris good man for doing these great toots helping photo&vid mere mortals learn to become better in their chosen skills.
I wanted to ask you if you noticed that in camera at high iso 4000 and up it really looks noisy but when you edit it in lightroom/photoshop it doesn't, or if it does it's much less noticeable.
Or, is it just me?
Hey Chris, this is wonderful video, I was able finally set up my camera...... just one thing im having hard time do you make all this Setting on M, A or 1 ? sorry im really newbie in photography and having hard time learning my self photography online
Hi there!can we change the RAW megapixel output?can we shoot at 45mp for example RAW files???
thanks for the setup. but I have a question that is it possible to shoot landscape with camera setup with portrait? I am the beginner in photography. could you please help me?
Buongiorno, ottimo video complimenti! Ho comprato da pochi giorni questa Alpha7R4, vorrei chiederle, quando si fanno foto su cavalletto per evitare il micromosso è meglio farle con otturatore elettronico oppure in meccanico con la prima tendina elettronica attivata? Grazie!
Hi Chris, Would be great if you done a video like this for the new A7iv. (Love the content - from Scotland)
Will do soon as I get my own one :)
Hey man, when shooting Video are you in Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority? Cheers!
Top job as always 👍 super interested in this camera, do you find any problems from needing to shoot at faster shutter speeds due to the pixel count? Or does this not really happen much?
I paired this slower high megapixel camera with my D500 and I can handle both wildlife and sports and portraits and landscapes no problem.
Is doing touch fucos worth it? Can you do a video about it?
Thanks for this video, super helpful and informative. I'm looking to jump into Sony from nikon soon. I noticed you skipped AF micro adjust. Is it true that mirrorless cameras don't need to have each lens calibrated for focus? This is one of the major reasons why I want to move to mirrorless.
Yeah you never wanna play with that menu. And yeah it’s true. No more back focusing haha that was a dream come true when I switched from Nikon
Many thanks Chris for myking this informative video, highly appreciated! As Jay just pointed out, you skipped the AF micro adjustment menu item that I am also interested in. I do know that it plays less important role than for DSLRs, but I guess there is a real reason for Sony to have it available for A7R4. Any clue?
I also noticed the impact of the lock down period on your face, likely the razors are all sold out. Never mind, it looks cool though. :-D
Haha thanks man. Yeah it’s irrelevant really but I’m not sure why Sony still have it in the menu. When you click on the menu item it actually warns you not to play with it lol
Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to go shoot and see how I like your settings. Mark Galer uses 1, 2, 3 on the mode dial for Portrait, Action, Landscape. I typically only use Aperture priority, but am interested to be able to use 1, 2, 3 for PAL as well.
Awesome content Chris! Do you use the Sony flash system? Also, Will you be doing a vid covering the topic?
Yeah I will and I use the godox flashes :) thanks!
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer can’t wait to watch. Thank you for responding!
The sony A7sIII can switch picture profiles when recording or when taking pictures. Interested to know whether that will come the the RIV?! Then hybrid shooting would be so much better being able to have slog without having to switch the mode dial!
Wait... You mean without actually changing the top dial to video? Like can you take a photo, and then press record without changing modes and it changes the picture profile automatically?
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer I dont have an A7siii but I did read that in a review somewhere along the line. I do love the RIV though :)
@@matthewbroodryk8346 hmmm man that would be sick. I’ve used the camera already and it didn’t do that. But it was a pre production unit. That would be sick tho
Hello Chris, I just got this new camera and notice how noisy/grainy my photos are. A photo at ISO5000 is super noisy and Im not sure why. Would it be the lens? I am using the Sony 85mm 1.8, please help any tips???
5000 iso is pretty high
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer okay I'll go and try again! Thanks
Hi Chris- I think the color space and lens correction settings you outlined near the beginning of your video only work on jpegs, not Raws. Let me know if I’m wrong about that.
Hey man, colour space applies to raw (sRGB or Adobe) the lens corrections I think only apply to JPG but they also apply to video so just as important
Thanks for clarifying!
I also believe this only affects JPEGs.
with new firmware?
Hey Chris, just found your channel as I'm in the process of moving to Sony. In regards to colour space, the reason you probably didn't see any difference between sRGB and Adobe RGB is that it should only apply to JPEG files. You'll see a big difference if you print a test image containing saturated tones. When using raw, you won't clip any colours (by using sRGB for example) until you export/compress the file from your editing software. They should make it clearer that the setting doesn't really apply to raw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yo chris, whats your honest opinion
Sony 35 1.8 vs sigma 1.4 ?
For photo/video
Thanks brother
Sony man. All day
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer noted!
Are you more of a sony guy?
Did you prefer The sigma 24-70 over the 24-70 gm
Nah I think the Sigma 24-70 is better than the GM specially when you take the price
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer dang, me too man. Just tested both of them this past week. I noticed that sigma has different color renditions than the sony. The sony was also less sharp, what bugs me is the dust issue with sigma, there was a big spec in it after a bit. But hopefully it was just my copy
Yeah the colours are a bit of a pain if your mixing them. My 85 sigma is way warmer than my 24 gm
Hi Chris, will you be upgrading to Sony A7RV. I won’t be because it will cost me around £800.
I’ve already had the A7R5. I sold them and went to the A74
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer So you went from A7RIV to A74? Isn’t that a down grade ?
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Why did you sell?
Depends what you want, different tools for different jobs, the A74 is way better at video, and hybrid weddings, better in low light.
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer OK thank you so much. I’ll stick with the A7RIV and focus on capturing a better image.
...first 🤔
All the buttons need to be pushed!
Looks like you’re sitting in a police interrogation room. Useful video, thanks.
You skipped the only thing I cared about, AF Micro Adj.
Make a video like this for A7III also
Most of the settings will be the same, only a few will be different for the A7iii
You ve turn it off everything 😂😂😂😂
Your hair moved.
Appreciate the video, but you go WAY too fast for this old guy.
