Zebra doesn’t necessarily show you what’s over exposed. You can choose the value you want covered. In your video it indicated 70 so it’s going to show 70% grey which is approx. Caucasian skin tone. Setting it to 100+ will show you blown out areas.
I’ve found the My Menu function helpful. I’ve put some of the things which are buried in the menus there. Eg., I can access Shutter When Powered Off quickly there as I only enable that when I change lenses. Once you set up some functions on My Menu, it also is always the first thing to appear when you press the menu button.
The menu items I have in My Menu are: tracking sensitivity, finder frame rate, aspect ratio, auto review, anti dust function, and emphasised REC display.
I have my C1 button set on eye subject because I sometimes shoot birds.
Can we get a video of how you take portraits? Like ISO you would use in certain areas. How you would underexpose and overexpose. Basically following that up with how your presets work with those tips.
New to Sony and the autofocus settings were confusing. This is a great method I’ll use. Works for the way I shoot… on the D500, I used single spot continuous and the back focus button only to recompose and shoot. Will require some relearning. Thanks for this. So helpful!
Glad it helped!!
@@MitchLally whats a good beginner friendly Sony camera but also nice photos and maybe for videos like vlog or skit
@@Cjbrown2x Sony ZV-E10 is good bang for you buck especially when paired with a Sigma prime lens for apsc .It’s basically a newer version of something like the A6400 which I’ve been using for years. It was good enough to get me over 100k followers on my IG fitness account. Just upgraded to full frame with the A7IV today.
Really like the setting with one button to star photos! I'm for sure using this from now on! Thank you for this helpful video!
Really enjoyed that, thanks. I agreed with most of those settings and there were a couple where i thought, 'now why haven't i always done that'! Thanks man.
Thanks. Was able to dial my photo settings on my SonyA7iv first time. Looking forward to evolving my skills vs video.
Love how he is straight to the point. Great video
Thanks! Now waiting for the equivalent "settings for video"😏
The latest and greatest you surely changed your camera brand very often.
Never thought about putting kelvin white balance on the exposure wheel. Going to give that a try! Thanks!
Bummed no one has said this yet... nice shirt m8.
thanks bro just picked mine up in shanghai china, hong kong version. let's get it! time to create :)
💪🏼
is there any way to set creative look to off .. ?
i mean, you can set picture profile to off but at creative look you have to choose one mandatory???
Just got an a7iv and my previous camera was a canon rebel T6, so this video helped me out a lot! Thank you
Thank Mitch, I found this useful in setting up my camera that I just only bought.
Very useful setting guide provided, really save tons of time . Bunch of Thanks
Just want to thank you, there were a few things that I didn't know about that. Great job!
When's the A7IV vs R6 showdown coming? :)
About a week!
This was so helpful! Would love to see a video about your favorite video settings :)
yes please make a video settings of sony a7iv. Thanks
Is that a sempiternal shirt? What an amazing album.
Hahaha yeah you caught it 😅
Perfect timing for me, just got my a7iv in the post today! 😁
perfect tutorial, thanks Mitch!
Hey man! Just want to say this video helped me a lot. Just bought the a7iv and was feeling overwhelmed coming from a simple nikon d3200 😂 but this was a really big step in the right direction so thank you!
Bro I also just switch nikon d3200 for sony a7iv, it’s such a game changer
Same here I switched from the Nikon D3200 to the Sony a7iv, crazy
I came from a d3400 holy moly I’m in love with the a7iv
Great video man😊 would love to see a video on video settings as well, your content is awesome 😎 keep it up!
How do I get a exposure compensation scale -2-10+1+2 like canon on monitor display? I guess I saw it on one of your video. I think its on R6 vs A74 comparison video i saw a glimpse.I cannot find it anywhere. Great video!!
I just got the Sony A74 and Raw is not available in the image quality settings why is that ?
Awesome video. Also traitor! Canon for life
Still thumbs up though because your awesome and have great content
Yesss Canon for life... when i watch him explaining the Sony menu.... i feel dizzy and not very user friendly lol
@@mbismbismb I remember trying to use my friends Sony and I was not able to adjust settings haha so confusing! But they are beast in low light and video.
🤣
@@DonovanLeeWhen you’ve used sony for long enough you get use to settings and its easy, its like using android for a long time and then switching to iphone and ur like wtf is all this and vice verse switching from iphone to android
Just got mine and had the same problem figuring out the card slot door. Thanks very much.
I’ve been waiting for someone to do this video 😬 thank you
hey man! congrats! do you like the sony? better than the canon r6? i need to choose by tomorrow! :)
Thank you Mitch! You're awesome!
Thank you so much, you helped me out! It was confusing at first since I was a canon user before 🙏🏼
Great video Mitch, thanks for making this !
SONY GANGGG!
Cool thanks buddy 🤜🤛 will wait for the video aswell.
Can you share video settings too? Thanks
So useful. Thanks for putting this together, man
How easy was it for you to get used to the Sony menu and button layout on the camera?
I'm considering switching from Canon to Sony but just thinking about re-learning menu settings and all that is giving me anxiety :)))
Don't do it. I tried for a couple of weeks and it was horrible. Well not horrible I just found it to be a little clumsy. I was hoping for more. I guess I have to accept the fact that I'm a Canon guy lol.
@@MyekalBenham Did you switch back to Canon then?
I just switched from a7iii to R6. Canons colors are better. I wont be going back to Sony.
@@jaredgomez9284 good to know that people are also switching the other way around :D Thank you!
dude , i had some trouble while shoot on RAW and in the same time my Lightroom not up to date. Can you help me which type of RAW still can be opened on the older Lightroom apps. Thanks
Yes please! A video tut. As well
did u use any noise reduction in post editing for any of these pictures? I just bought the new A74, and on my first test shoot using flash, i am noticing harsh noise out of camera (ISO 250, F4.5, Speed 1/250 sec.) color profile ST and uncompressed file, DRO mode on. Do u know what settings I am missing? Thank you
New video a74 in main profil, nice camera
Excellent tutorial Mitch. Switching from Nikon the menu is quite the change. Will need some practice and memory as to where everything is and what to set it on. Your clear cut straight forward explanation was refreshing. Thank you SO much! I subscribed. Keep up the great work!
The camera takes 2 SD/Micro SD cards?
Hello - just got my A7IV. Questions. How do I set my EVF to show horizontal info when in vertical mode. The R6 does it automatically. Second how do I sent my focus area separate between Photo and Video . Sony only does focus mode and not focus area where my R6 by default uses separate focus area when I switch between M and the movie setting. I'm still going through the settings so I thought I would ask. Also I notices the EVF is lagy compared to the R6 when panning fast when shooting birds in flight. Any way to get around this. Using Lossless compressed RAW high speed drive H+ and high view finder refresh and mechanical shutter. Great camera but some things are different from what I have on the R6. This weekend is my test with the R6 with RF 100-500 and the A7IV with the 200-600G lens.
Extremely helpful mate ! 👍
What weird sound inside, like loose some parts while the camera is on and off?
I have posterization image when I'm shooting photos any ideas about it?
Amazing Mitch! I’ll comeback for tips in this video as I’m eagerly waiting for mine since I traded in all my camera gear for this A7IV and the 50mm 1.2 GM. Haha. You mentioned running in front of the camera when talking about interval shooting, do you live it autofocus since it’s so good on Sony’s or do you manual focus? 🙏
Previous a7 models didn't autofocus during interval shooting, has this changed?
can you make also one for videography?
Really helpful great video
Impressive video. Keep it up 😀 Still waiting on the delivery of my A7IV
I’m more interested in lenses. What lens should I use for indoors?
How would you compare the A7IV to the R6? I know you shoot canon but I’m curious which you would choose had you be coming from say, Nikon?
I just posted a video on it :)
@@MitchLally I saw just after I had posted this! I just simply cannot decide, both are solid systems. I’ve shot with both Canon and Nikon, Canon was way better than Nikon in my opinion. I don’t do video just photos and it seems most comparisons are about video.
Great tutorial, well explained. New sub, thanks for being here..😘😘😘
Thanks
Would love to see your video settings. Keep up the good work!
we need one for fujifilm setting photography
Do you think Sony A7M4 better then EOS R6?
I would not use the shutter on without lens option. Just more ways to break the shutter. It even warns you it could break using this option
Which camera you used for this clip.
What’s a good lens For home photography
Great help, thanks! Which LUT did you use for this video?
I'd love to know your toning for this vid as well!
I Had this camera for 2 weeks and i just couldn't gel with it. I was hoping for more from the camera and I think it is a tad overhyped. For now I will just stick with the R5 . I guess I'm just a Canon guy.
Hello. I pre ordered the A7IV and keeping my R6 but with recent R5 price drops I could just get the R5 instead. Anything in particular. I have been shooting Canon for 20 years. I did own the A73 but sold it after 6 months. I just didn't enjoy the shooting experience. Nothing was instant as if the camera was always a few milli seconds behind where I found Canon to be instant. I was hoping the A74 would appeal to me. So are you keeping the Sony ???
why even try this camera if you are using an r5 lol
@@tekguyphoto get the r5 its way better
Agreed... i feel nauseous when i'm playing with my friends a6500 especially when i want to change the iso, i have to push the button and select the iso geeezz in my canon i have those 3 settings in dials i can scroll directly
Great! Settings also work for Sony A1 maybe?
In Gordon Ramsay voice f@&king RAW!!
Gracias 🙌🔝🔝🔝
No RAW option listed for me at all in Image Quality Settings. Could that be due to the V90 cards I’m using?
Paul i'm running into the same issue - did you ever figure it out?
@@benjaminparker_
Nope. I’m still assuming it requires typeA SD’s.
@@paulteelproductions1461 I figured it out!
Go: Menu > Shooting (red) > Image Quality > Image Quality Settings > here’s the tricky part - use the pad buttons to highlight the “File Format” section box - then press the select button, then a new menu box will pop up showing “RAW, RAW & JPEG, JPEG”. Select RAW. Boom. Then go down to RAW File Type and make your selection there.
Hope that helps!
@@benjaminparker_
Dude! Thank you! I will try this next time I shoot and report back. Lol
Hi.. Any over heating
What colour profile do you use for A7iv photography?
I shoot PP off. It doesn’t affect the image because I shoot raw and choose the picture profile in Lightroom.
Why do you shoot lossless uncompressed instead of uncompressed?
save hard drive space
Will you be releasing your film presets that are more dialed in for Sony ? 😊
Nope! They work on Sony.
@@MitchLally They do work on the a7iv files too but I personally found that the skin tones look better on Canon R5/R6 files when applied vs the Sony files. Thanks!
@@fotonocity3887 because canons colors are better 😎
@@jaredgomez9284 eh it’s subjective but I agree. I have both the R5 and the a7iv :)
How do you set the center button to menu?
8:46
When adjusting the settings in picture mode to raw, then switching to movie mode and going back to picture mode it automatically changes to jpeg all the time, any idea why it won't save the settings? Thanks for the video btw🙌
Not forghet that if you pick RAW uncompresed or raw lossless comp. = 10fps to 6FPS at Continuerlig shooting.
Didn’t know that! Thank you 🙏🏼
I know you have good reason but you go way to fast for me. I've backup too many times now. Looks like a good presentation except for the speed.
☺️
Need to slow down!
I honestly think you have great videos and you're a good youtuber who is still growing. I can see your effort in the videos. However i don't see you good enough to call you a photographer. I hope you see this comment as a supportive one :)
Great Video but you go to fast bro.
Yeah, i got dragged along the entire vid too😂
You talk so fast and you’re not helpful this way. Sorry
Talks too fast!
Talk too fast
U listen to slow. 🥱
You’re so fast to follow. It seems you’ve forgotten your presentation is for people who got no idea or little knowledge about the camera. Other than that thank you
Just play at .5 speed :) if it’s still too fast you can pause the video - that’s the power of modern technology.
