OMG thank you so so much! 🙏🙏🙏 You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to do a video showing the tips for using the alpha 5100. I’ve been struggling with the video recording ever since I purchased it, especially on the audio part. I’m currently using a external recording device, but syncing the audio and the video is a bit of a pain in the butt. May I ask for your method of properly tackling this (ex: leaving the audio device and the camera on the whole time or just press record whenever need ?) Again thank you so much !!! Keep up the good work ! Liked and subscribed 💪 !
Still have my a5100's .... not planning to upgrade. If I do it would probably be an a6100 or a6400. But at the moment for my YT channel, the a5100 is more than capable.
so to use my 5100 like a pro means I have to buy additional lighting and audio stuff like a pro ?! this video implies to give useful information how to tweak the camera's audio and lighting settings so it will sound & look better
Thank you so much, this is very helpful for me who thinking to switch from lumix to sony but still not sure and don't want to invest a lot in newer and higher price. I just need it for still photo ❤️ you help me decide
isn't using natural light plus led lights making it hard for white balance since they're often in different kelvins? I'd rather not mix temperatures, since they will show weird colors like shades of blue or yellow on face.
Now i have few cameras and a5100 is both my cheapest also least capable, but it is camera that i mostly keep reaching for (specially for pictures). Video is as good as on any Sony camera except a7s3 and a1. Zoom rocker, size and screen type is unmatched by any other current Sony camera. ZVE10 comes close in some ways but it still have inferior 1080p and screen to a5100. And no built in flash is big minus in my book usually but it does have hotshoe so thats kind of fixable. One big downside to a5100 is audio. Built in audio is just about acceptable but no audio level control or mic jack just kill it completely.
Hey Aaron , coming back to your channel after an year , and already bought sigma 56mm f1.4 by your suggestion , now looking for a more allround or zoom lens in budget ? Please suggest me
im interested in getting one of these and getting back to do toy reviews, but since i liked to do close up panning shots of them ive been nervous about getting a new camera since a friend recommend the Nikon d5200 years ago and the auto focus was really bad and i had to resort to manual focus on pan shots, not easy at all.
I made this video a few years ago about settings for shooting video on the a5100 - th-cam.com/video/JRIDpC_gJTw/w-d-xo.html Planning on an update soon!
great video again arron. please i got my sony a5100 second hand and the USB cable which came with it can charge the camera, but when I tried to plug it on my computer to update the firmware , it doesn't connect. i tried different USB cables but my laptop is still not able to detect the camera. all those cables can do is charge the camera but noneof them was able to connect it to my pc. so I was wondering are there specific cables for connecting the camera to the computer? my current firmware is 1.1 which is pretty old I think. any help?
As mentioned in another reply, it needs to be a USB data cable so I always recommend using the cable that originally comes with the camera. You should be able to pick one up on amazon or ebay.
Sorry I’m a noob. Learning for my 12yr old son who is doing the streaming thing. 🤦🏻♂️ Just bought him the a5100/Kit. And it came with the E50mm F1.8 all brand new for $250. Yes I got luck af. Lol
Hope you all like the haircut! ✂

i love this camera
but i dislike the overheating problem of it
Thanks for this video. Do you have any tutorial on astrophotography with this camera? Haven't been able to find anything in YT.
BIG Love and much support for you Arron, for this video! 💯❤🔥🙏🙏🙏
This is so helpful. Your work is appreciated!
Another amazing video i'm loving the a5100 so far hoping to get my self the sigma 16mm soon but so far the kit lens has been great
Thanks! The kit lens is decent all round lens, I used the a5100 for a couple of years before I upgraded. The sigma 16mm is a great choice though!
How to off noise reduction? How to off the processing after a long exposure shot

Hi Aaron. Do you need an adapter for Sigma 16mm F1.4 in Sony a5100? I bought the lens and it wont fit 🥺
so very helpful thank you!!!
I didnt get the kit lens with mine which i got for £200 and i dont know which lens to get for it, sigma 30mm f1.4, sigma 16mm f1.4 or sony 20mm 2,8
@ArronPrescott can you recommend a lens hood for the a5100, preferably Sony brand. If you can provide a model #. Thanks!
This is extremely helpful! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
When transferring video with wifi what setting is best for recording? Doesn’t it have to be set on mp4?
Instant like , thank you Arron.
Appreciated!
I HAVE A SONY A5100 KIT LENS WITH A CAMLINK WHY IS THERE SO MUCH GRAIN AND NOISE
Could you make a video on how best to shoot using the A5100?
I made this video a few years ago about settings for shooting video on the a5100 - th-cam.com/video/JRIDpC_gJTw/w-d-xo.html
Planning on an update soon!
Is a5100 video recording quality better than dji pocket 2?
If I edit videos on iPhone can I record on XAVCS? How May I transfer them? Thanks
great video again arron. please i got my sony a5100 second hand and the USB cable which came with it can charge the camera, but when I tried to plug it on my computer to update the firmware , it doesn't connect. i tried different USB cables but my laptop is still not able to detect the camera. all those cables can do is charge the camera but noneof them was able to connect it to my pc.
so I was wondering are there specific cables for connecting the camera to the computer? my current firmware is 1.1 which is pretty old I think.
any help?
You need data cable, it didnt worked for me too. Use maybe the phone charger cable or something like that
As mentioned in another reply, it needs to be a USB data cable so I always recommend using the cable that originally comes with the camera. You should be able to pick one up on amazon or ebay.
I think you must change the settings in the camera for other USB options.
Hellow. How much sony a5100?
so 50 means 60 frames yeah?
A 5100 or A6000 which is better ? i want to buy ?
A6000
My camera start burn when i conect it to the pc
Was the section at the start of the video using the kit lens?
That's right!
If I have a E50mm F1.8 and have my camera a5100 set to movie. Will I get the blur background or is there a setting I have to change in the camera ??
Yes, just make sure you're in aperture priority mode (within movie mode). and set the aperture as wide as possible (for this lens that would be f.18).
@@ArronPrescott so not movie manual ??
Movie/aperture ?
Sorry I’m a noob. Learning for my 12yr old son who is doing the streaming thing. 🤦🏻♂️
Just bought him the a5100/Kit. And it came with the E50mm F1.8 all brand new for $250. Yes I got luck af. Lol
Yeah, aperture priority will give you blurry backgrounds while keeping your subject in focus.
@@ArronPrescott ok thank you sir
Actually the sound was not improved when you made the changes. The fundamental problem is the lack of a mic-input.
Were you using the Sigma at the start of the video?
