Let me say to you, that I am shaking in a nervous crisis in a bathroom of the sound stage I am currently filming as cinematographer because ALL of my life i´ll been working on canon, I get to work today and my client says, I want to use this camera, and my face goes jaw dropping, my answer was okey but I have never shoot with this camera, and he says okey but you can do it right? and I say oh yeah !! Sure let me go to the bathroom,
so I am here trying (urgent emergency mode) to find a video on youtube that could help me and boom !! woooow !! here comes the magic, GOD bless you for doing this valuable video this is amazing thanks a lot, you literally saved my life.
LOL. Awesome. Glad to know I helped you during your bathroom crisis.
Lmao!!! This happened to me last semester!! Only I wasn't hiding in the bathroom 🤣. I was asked to be cinematographer for a short film.
haha legend!
Lol same happened to me not long ago! I keep coming back to watch this video it’s great
how did it turn out? As a canon user i bet you had issues with colors? :)
Rented a A7S2 and this absolutely was a lifesaver to make sure I didn't miss anything and could navigate the menu. Thank you for being so clear and informative!
cant believe im just finding your channel. so pleased you said auto nothing, manual everything. you had my sub at that point. much respect
Thank you so much for the valuable information! I’m excited to start filming like the pros! Really appreciate it. 👍
I love how you start very very (almost too) simple and get more and more into the hidden details. Good video :)
Thank you for such an amazing tutorial. This is a really useful video. Especially the Spot Metering option which finally helped me get my exposure right on the histogram. Never knew it existed or how to get to it.
Man, this guy is very familiar with his camera and information!
Thankfully my 10 years as a photographer and recent dabbling in video has given me some knowledge of the terminology or I'm pretty sure I'd be left in the dust!
Great info!
Tx for sharing!
You are such a rare Gem on TH-cam shaming all this professional knowledge. I think most of us are really very grateful that you want to share this with us. At least I am ! Thanks.
lighttraveller I totally agree
lighttraveller I totally agree
agreed, he also doesn't bullshit and spits out the information quick enough to get it all at once
Great video, just unboxed my a7S ii and skimmed through the manual and was still lost, your video explanation helped a lot.
I was waiting for this one. Thank you so much!
wow you are a life saver my friend! I just switched from canon and this has definitely helped me more than any video! Thanks
Thank you so much for this video, I feel more confident setting up my camera
Excellent job! Being new to cinematography, you certainly make my life a lot simpler :)
I am just blown away by the knowledge you provide good Sir.
Just transitioned from Canon to Sony. That was super helpful. Thank you!
I've been struggling with my Sony RX10 ii... trying to figure out all the sub menu's and their best settings. Thank you for your detailed and clear explanation!
Thank you for being a helpful human. Don’t ever change.
Thank-you so much for sharing, it means a lot, and I learned a lot!
This is pure gold! Thanks so much for putting in all the work. You've helped me out so much.
Chapters added. Thanks for watching!
This is the kind of contect that I like. Keep it up!🙋🏿
Very interesting tour about the settings available on this little thing. This A7SII is professional. Yhank you.
Great video man, I subbed! :)
Extremely good tutorial! Thank you.
NICE Man. Great Job. Good Audio, and a very detailed explanation. Nick
thanks for summing up all that info and where menus stuff is! =)
Incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thanks Iron Man, this was helpful!
About time someone said it like this. Well done mate! brilliant vid!! Love my sony cameras & Atomos gear.
Great instructional video! Thank you.
Thanks a lot you give to me some answers i was looking for it.
Thanks a lot as it's really helpful to learn and set up fast and properly all the necessary setting.
thanks a lot that was very helpful!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
great breakdown! Thank you for the information
Thank you. it was helpful.
Really helpful - thanks man!
The best video on TH-cam on how to shoot video on Sony Alpha series camera. Thanks
Thanks for this! Finding useful/relevant/to the point info among endless hipster-wannabe-filmmaker crap on TH-cam is hard nowadays. This was extra helpful.
This was incredibly helpful!!! Thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Great video ty so much!
nice tips,thanks
You rock, thank you so much
Well Done, Thank You!
Amazing sir! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
thanks for fabulous video. That Matte box you have, I just bought the Xeen.
I have not enjoyed the RedRock Micro matte box. Kinda flimsy. I'll have to check out the Xeen.
Amazing, appreciate the video (y)
Good video and helpful 👌🔥
A very basic question: Is there anything different in terms of steadyshot way to work when you go one the movie mode, instead of just pushing the rec button when being in M mode?
Super useful video - some hacks I didn’t know existed! I hate the recessed “movie” button too so have programmed the C3 button instead. Nice. Many thanks 👍🏻
Well Done!!!!
Thanx, very useful
NIce video! Just I was wondering do you think the cine profiles are usable without atomos? Grading with premiere I found very hard to get a decent result, especially in outside footage they came up with weird colors. Thanks
did anybody ever tell you that you sound just like Tony Stark? Great video , thanks for the help!
I've been told a few times, yes. Thanks for watching.
Listening to this again, you're right. The inflections are very similar. It's Stark without snark.
Nelson Smith hahaha yeah!
Got the solution. Get a big poop in the toilet, pull down the lid. Let the gas build up then throw a match in there. BOOM! Shoot is cancelled for a day so you can practice with this video!
I knew his voice sounded familiar lol😂
Thanks a lot :)
InstaBlaster.
love this
soo helpful bless you!!
Dear Chinfat! Can I know what version you are? I saw we have differences function in the camera.
Good information, I am newcomer in this camera shutter speed is automatic set with iso
GREAT!!!!
Enjoyed the video, very thorough. Question...unfortunately my computer doesn’t support 4K or the HD strangely. So, I’m using AVCHD/24P 24M (FX) should I change that setting or any that you mentioned in your video for filmmaking? Thanks!
Great info! I have a A7s but in PP7, there are no further settings I can choose. In custom setting, there is no Movie option I can set in the center button. Damn!
Bought a7sii some days back.... want to capture whiteboard lecture ...... its really helpfull
thanks man
Hi, great video! Just wondering which lens are you using here. Thanks
While I was doing all this my battery died and when I put a new one in all the settings I had changed were reset and I had to change them all over. This is my first sony. Why doesnt it save settings? Is there some magic button to press after this is all done or do I need to do this with every new battery? Other than this issue your video helped a lot.
Thank You !
Hello - in what cases would one shoot in super 35 vs full frame - did you skip over that setting?
You're awesome
Thanks for the video! I have a question. In this video you recommend changing the Movie/HFR to Manual, which I did. After watching this video I jumped over to your video about setting up your Sony a7S II to work with an Atomos. One of the steps you recommend on that video is to turn the Time Code Output to On, however, when I try to do this it tells me this function is not available when using Manual Exposure. Am I doing something wrong or have you switched your exposure settings in order to work with the Atomos. Thanks!
If you're switching from Canon to Sony... this video is a must watch.
very helpful video, thanks. question: is it normal for a camera to not simply have a "LUT" mode? why put the flat features all the way at P7? this is the only video camera i've ever used so im not sure if thats normal. thanks again!
Thank you for this comprehensive instructional and for not showing your face for 20 mins instead of the actual thing you are talking about.
Yah, well detailed tutorial.
What micro Sd card is best for this set up?
Would you recommend this camera for a documentary, verite format, with concerts and bands in lowlight settings? I have a Redrock shoulder rig that I could use and possibly even an external monitor. But would this be better than something like the C100 which is kind of a documentary staple?
It would be fantastic at concerts and places with low light. C100 has the advantage of balanced audio with phantom power. You can plug a shotgun into the XLR port and get much better brill audio. You could the same with the Sony, but you'd have to accessorize it to get balanced audio.
Thanks a lot! my a7sII rec botton was broken and i was sad about that, but now i know how to fix it kkkkk thanks
Thank you
This is amazing! Would love some chapters here...
What is the lens and letterbox being use here?
Nice
How to set clip number in a7s2 sir...
HIplease can you do a tutorial about dslr rig components in a7s ii,how you set it up,their different name.thank you.
Funny you should ask. That is my next video planned. I will do it early next week. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the great video. Have you ever tried to match the A7sII with the FS5? Any recommendations on picture profile settings, other than S-log?
I have not tried to mix those cameras. What software are you using to color grade? You can put a chip chart in front of the cameras (often times on the back of a slate) and it makes it easier to match-- especially in Resolve.
Great suggestion, thanks
Whats that hood? what type of hood and tripod etc is shown in this video?
I show all my parts in this video: th-cam.com/video/4KcMA5Hwk0U/w-d-xo.html
Muchas gracias.
De nada. Gracias por ver.
супер видео
WHEW !!! 😊😊😊
What is that around the lens?
It's called a donut. If you have an ND glass in the matte box, sometimes light will enter from behind the camera and cause reflections on the glass. The donut eliminates that possibility.
Great video....Would be nice to do the same thing with the GH5
Great idea. I need to do that. I should borrow my friend's GH5 and do a similar video.
Hey what a great video and such an excellent camera. Im on a budget and had to settle for the a7ii for now. i understand i cannot shoot 4k, but if i tried to implement this as much as possible on the a7ii do you think it would still shoot decent orrr am i just fucked?
Most Sony mirrorless cameras are very similar in the way the menu and setup are concerned. I'd recommend shooting some test footage and color grading it first, if you're using S-Log. Especially before you do a big shoot.
Can i use these set ups also for the Sony a7 rii ?
Fairly similar menu on the a7 rii. Yes.
Sony A7SII; I was trying your set up settings, and now in the lower right corner of the screen, I have "TV" right above the ISO. I Can't find what this is in the manual. Any Idea's?
Not sure. Can you email me a photo of your screen? electricaman@hotmail.com
I love you
no slog for filming?
Thanks for the video, it was really helping in getting started with this camera. I have a question for you - I'm not a film-maker but just using this camera for an education project. When I switch the file format to XAVC S 4K the edges of the image turn dark and appears almost circular. On XAVC S HD it's fine. Like I say I'm not a film-maker so probably some schoolboy error! Would appreciate some help? Thanks
Gary Thomson hey there! This is probably your lens, since not all lenses are full frame
Abigail Rath thank you, that’s what the issue was ... I appreciate your response! I decided to shoot 1080p not 4K so all good
Hello
Does the Sony a7sii have a time limit for recording videos?
Yes. 30 minutes, unfortunately.
Hi, I was wondering what lens this is. I'm guessing Samyang or Rokinon. I spotted the "made in korea". also focal length and T stop?
This is a Rokinon Cine lens. I believe it is a 50mm FL. The T-Stop is 1.5 (fairly fast lens). Here is the series of primes: www.adorama.com/rkdscfbc.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAhp_jBRAxEiwAXbniXYv7o3uWr6LTAIzCMEO3TFRqfql-u7Fb7Cy_XukYhEGzGfqsfJc4fBoCBbQQAvD_BwE
Is that 60p 4K output I spy @17:40 ???
sharpenedge I wonder too.
I dont see a 4k option. only XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4. It's the same camera model so would be the issue?
Your frame rate may be set higher. The a7sii only does 4K up to 60fps. Is your frame rate at 24 or 120?
whats the thing around the lens called...that big black square thing
The Matte Box?
