I come back to your Sony AX100 tutorials again and again - I don't use mine very often (usually to make a music video), so your videos are perfect refresher courses. Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial. I learnt more in that 17 minutes than I have in 2 years of using a range of Sony cameras with the same menu structure/settings etc. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for your knowledge and professionalism! It's not very often that I see reviews with such detail that is actually understandable to someone of any level from total novice to seasoned Pro! Your knowledge base and understanding of the exact item is exceptional! Thank you for sharing!
Sony should pay you for this, their manual sucks and without your tutorial the camera would probably suck as well. Thank you so much. I'm coming back to this video every few months and learn something new every time.
I know a lot of effort went into creating this video... so THANK YOU for that effort. Very much appreciated. I learned a few things that I have overlooked until now.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I’m getting the camcorder for my birthday next month and was a little nervous about the idea of coming out of auto settings despite having some experience in the 35mm field. I’ve read the manuals but find these instructional videos are far better to clarify things and this video is the best , I’ll certainly be referring to it quite a few times in the coming months. Not sure if you have made any other videos regarding the AX but I’ll do some searching and look forward to watching them. Thanks again, take care. Peter
This has been super helpful. I haven't tried to make many adjustments on this camera and haven't loved all the video I've gotten, but I feel like I'll be able to accomplish a lot more now, thanks!
I fully agree, the AX100 was announced in 2014 and its image quality is still stunning, totally relevant. And this touch screen user interface is brutally smart, light years better and more sophisticated, more intuitive than current Sony cameras have. I am blown how great Sony user interface engineers were in 2013-14. Where did they disappear?
thank you very much for these great and informative videos about the sony ax100. I've really learned a lot and I appreciate your factual way of presentation without any silly showmanship. I wish you could do videos about everything concerning cameras and filming. thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this interesting tutorial. Can you also adjust the picture style to film flat/neutral? With my GoPro 7 black is use that to grade in post with Filmconvert.
I am agree with everubody. Really fantastic!!!! I would like to know the best way to get film look (nearly). I knew a little about soft key, but has this camcorder how touch control for calibrate colors, shados, contrast, etc ????? Thanks for any help. Hug from Brazil.
Great video. For outdoor scenery in bright conditions would zebras set to 100 be preferred? Additionally, how do you handle exposure with the sky in relation to the subject, for instance the side of a building? Is proper exposure of the building more important and worth letting the sky over expose? Thx
1:34 If you select Program AE make sure to enable Auto ND, too, so the iris is not going above F5.6, which is desirable to prevent diffraction. The camera selects quite reasonable shutter values respecting the 180 degree shutter as much as possible, but never enforces it; manually you can set the shutter as low as 6 even in 50fps framerate mode. If you stubbornly want to enforce 180 degree shutter, press PROGRAM AE, then press SHUTTER, set 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC), and press the button MANUAL . I programmed the dial to AE Shift, so I can easily control then exposure. In this mode when only shutter is locked to 50/60 AE shift changes iris and gain in a perfectly reasonable way: when (+) overexposing, it opens iris first and increase gain only afterwards. But, unfortunately, when SHUTTER is locked Auto ND is OFF, too :( So, you have to change ND to MANUAL and set the ND to 1, 2, 3 or OFF manually as suggested by the camera or as you wish ignoring the camera ND suggestions blinking on the screen. 1:46 Or, as explained above just press and hold the MANUAL button for about two seconds, and you can set AE Shift directly to the dial. This is as if you had an exposure control dial. This is brutally awesome. AE Shift works in PROGRAM AE, too, and any mode when at least one of the gain, shutter, iris Auto; if all are manual AE shift is meaningless. 1:57 Using this AE Shift panel is really awkward, I'd never use it, since you cannot see how the actual parameters are affected. When using the MANUAL dial as explained above, you can watch the effects of AE shifting while you are rotating the knob. What Alister demonstrated here is when you permanently set AE Shift, and keep it at that value "forever". My method using the dial is to constantly control and fine tune the exposure by turning the knob. 4:48 Since the Spot Metering, Spot Focus and Spot Metering/Fcs are so awesome features you can set them to the three on-screen soft buttons called MY BUTTONS in the camera menu. 5:42 This technique works only if the dial is set to EXPOSURE, that is why the E letters next to iris, gain, shutter values on the screen. You cannot use AE Shift when any value is labeled with E, AE shift works only with A. When the dial is set Exposure (MENU/Camera Settings/Dial Setting or 2-secong press-hold of the MENU button) There are three ways to switch to E mode: Spot Meter, Spot Meter/Fcs functions, or pressing the MANUAL button to enable the Exposure Dial (only if set to Exposure, of course) 10:30 ND values: 1/4 = ND4, 1/16 = ND16, 1/64 = ND64 11:09 Shallow depth of field (DoF) definitely far from as expected from Sony's cameras like the A7. The AX100 lens widest aperture is F2.8 only at 29mm FOV which the same as the DoF of about F8 at 29mm. The lens is F4.5 at the tele end at 350mm which is the same as F12 on A7 at 350mm. Yeah, shallower DoF is doable, but I wouldn't call it sallow DoF by any extent of imagination.
I bought my Sony FDR-AX100 about 2 weeks ago. Just got a Bluetooth receiver/transmitter today so I can use my Bluetooth headphones with it. Got it all set up and started recording when I noticed something awful. There is almost an entire second of lag time between the scene and what happens on the camcorder. And it has nothing to do with the Bluetooth. Watching the LCD screen shows just how far behind it is. This was my first time recording something other than outside nature scenes, so when the person talked it was very distracting to hear a one-second delay in the headphones and see it on the screen. I watched a lot of TH-cam videos before I bought it and never saw anything about it mentioned one time. So I'm trying to get the word out there. Oh, and you can't use an external monitor while recording 4K.
Hello Alister. Can you tell me please, will this video camera at it's best ability be able to shoot cinematic quality for cinema screen viewing? I really enjoyed your tutorial. You are a very good teacher.
any thing to say about picture profile for ax700 for night city street shooting with limited noise?

Hi, Thanks for your helpful video, and do you Know if it's possible to make a Time-lapse video with the Sony AX100? I need a really good camara with this feature. THANK YOU
Hi, Alister. Can you help me ? I have a Sony 4k AX 100 but the images do not fit like yours and almost always come out with noise with much or little light. What am I doing wrong? The ISO or Gain ? How to get more sharpness? Thank you. I like your work. Thanks
Your video is very helpful! I have a strange difficulty with the camera. When I am manually controlling the aperture it won't let me consistently access the widest aperture of F2.8. sometimes it will stick at F4.0. Sometimes it will let me go to F3.7. And only very occasionally will it let me go down to F2.8. How can I make it go to F2.8 consistently?
David Brookes you have a variable aperture lens. Your iris will drop with zoom. Your iris will not stay the same if you change the zoom level. Also depends if you have those settings in auto mode.
Hello, My question about this Sony FDR AX-100 camera is as follows ... I would like to know whether the headphone output on the camera (3.5 Miniklinke) for video recordings the sound synonymous synonymous, or if it arrives with slight delay on the headphones. That would be very important to me as buying criterion. Thank you for your information. Sincerely, Cameraman Peter Klein ...
Hi, thanks for the video. It is really very useful. I would like to consult if you like the Sony AX100 better than the Sony RX100 V. I want to make a short fiction.
There came a update so you can record 100mbit/s instead of 60. Why do you want bigger files? Both record 4k 25fps and xavc s so whats the diffrence. Why do you add something like that?
Fantastic video. Thank you. Quick question about the zebra. Is it fair to say that 70 is optimal for someone with a light complexion, but someone with a darker complexion of Asian or African ancestry should have a lower number (65, 60)?
I don't really understand why the hell Sony is not applying this menu system and exposure control in cameras like A7S, FX3, A7C, A7IV? Amazing how great engineers worked at Sony in 2013. All these great engineers and product managers left the company?

Ha! I literally just told my wife something similar. Very well done tutorial.

Just watched all your AX100 videos.
Great help, better than the manual!
Thanks Alister.
I know a lot of effort went into creating this video... so THANK YOU for that effort. Very much appreciated. I learned a few things that I have overlooked until now.
Thank you so much for this video... I was so confused with all these functions and your video was a gift for me...
Alister - thanks so much for this and the other AX100 tutorials - plain English, well explained - got loads more confidence now.

THIS is how a tutorial is done. Fantastic & educationally superb. THANK YOU.
This is the best vid ive seen on these settings thank you!
Thank Alister for the great tutorial on the Sony ax-100 it's not a new camera but exactly what i need.

Great review.... Question, what would be the optimal settings for shooting a stage lit event that has a large LED wall as a backdrop?
This is the Best info on this Sony Camcorder!
Amazing how much smarter designed are the exposure control machinery on a video camera even on a consumer model like this AX100.
You are an amazing instructor. I had to subscribe to your channel with both of my youtube accounts.
very well done and super informative! This is 1 semester of film school condensed into a 17 minute video!! The Sony AX100 is a wonderful camcorder
Very informative videos. It's a delight to understand the way you explain.

Hello Alister. Can you tell me please, will this video camera at it's best ability be able to shoot cinematic quality for cinema screen viewing? I really enjoyed your tutorial. You are a very good teacher.
In 4K mode, you can select 24 or 30 fps. 24 should give it a cinematic look.
Thank you. All very helpful. Happy 2020.

Hi, I need to know whether live video can be broadcast real time (connecting camcorder to a laptop via USB) through Skype by using the Sony AX100 ?
I thought that I read that it could, but don't hold me to it.
Great video with lots of information. Thank you!

Hello,
My question about this Sony FDR AX-100 camera is as follows ...
I
would like to know whether the headphone output on the camera (3.5
Miniklinke) for video recordings the sound synonymous synonymous, or if
it arrives with slight delay on the headphones.
That would be very important to me as buying criterion.

sir, what are the video editing software that can be used to edit the 4k video
Very nice information 👍.
Thanks but I still don’t understand what really change inside the camera when adjusting the AE shift.
Amazing video! I just got mine. I can't wait for the weekend
