Just got my a7cr and this was such a huge help to mapping everything out in just the right way! Thanks so much for going through the best settings! Huge MVP
Hi Dylan, really appreciate your style of videos, keep up.the great work. I just switch from canon to Sony and got myself the Sony A7 cii, your compact lens video helped me decide.
Hey Dylan, I love the colors you are getting in these videos! Can you say a bit about your color grading workflow? Is this all done in Resolve? Would be great if you could make a video about this.
An addendum. Your memory card will dictate which formats you can record in. 60 at intra as well as at least some of the S&Q modes will ask for v90 or even a well rated CF Express card. Also, Phantom Gang. Great luts for most matters.
Hey that’s some really great info into your settings Dylan and some good little explanations too thanks. Your settings sound much more friendly than a lot of others. I use an A7C btw. I liked the info about shooting log and exposure.
A comment about overheating, I had it really bad on my A7Cii, so much so that I returned it for the A7CR, which some legend on Reddit mentioned it was way better with this issue. Ever since, I've recorded almost hundreds of hours of 4k 60fps footage (I also had a 13 hour long session once) and have not had a single issue with overheating, haven't even seen the temperature icon yet.
@@rasyadhiarrachman5209 Mine overheated just before the one hour mark at 4k 60fps, 4:2:2 10bit, max bitrate. roughly 49 minutes, and thats with the auto shut off temp on high.
Maybe one day! At the moment I don’t have interest in making videos about making videos and just want to focus on photography. A lot of the ways I do things on the video side are not “by the book” and don’t want to have elitists tell me I’m doing something “wrong”. Actually the more I type this comment... the more I kinda do want to make a video about my video workflow haha
Yea, it's okay. I have been using this camera for a while. I still haven't gotten into making videos yet. At least one simple video on reels is what I aim for. I dont know how to use the log feature and i am learning how to use davinci 🤣
I might be mistaken, but I don't think that active steady shot works when crop-mode is enabled. Also, I'd like to hear your opinion on the A7CR video quality. Since it's got the high mp sensor, all video is pixel binned. I found the video very soft (personally too soft for my taste). I use Phantom luts too!
Honestly I don’t find it to be a problem at all. People are way too nitpicky. I use a mist filter for all of my filming because I dislike how sharp the FX3 is. But at the same time I feel like anyone who buys the A7CR for shooting video should have just bought an A7CII
no word about settings like ISO (Auto or fixed at the base iso)and record mode (A, S, M)? 60fps footage is not different to grade. Why it should? ....because a bit lower bitrate per single picture?
If you’re not using official Sony batteries then the percentage typically won’t appear. Not sure if that applies to all but it does to most. It sucks but that’s just the way it is
When I click the boxes for different settings for video, I like to use wide focus for video and expand for stills but when I change the focuses it changes for both photo and video do you know how to fix ?
@@DylanBlackburnjust figured out it can only shoot 30fps in H264 but not at H265. But 60fps is available in both H264 and H265.. which is a bit strange.

Legend! I couldn’t figure out how to find Log shooting, you were the only to the point vid.
Glad I could help! I always hated those 30+ minute long settings guides. Nobody wants to sit down and watch that!
Nice one mate! Just picked up a 7CR! Really excited about it🙏🏼 Love your videos!!!
Hey Dylan, I love the colors you are getting in these videos! Can you say a bit about your color grading workflow? Is this all done in Resolve? Would be great if you could make a video about this.
This is such a clear and straight forward recommendation! So helpful for the video beginner. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! The goal was to make a video that isn’t 30 minutes long and gets straight to the point!

Love that last tip!

Very interesting to hear. You would think it would be the other way around!
@@DylanBlackburn Yeah I thought the same, but who knows.
Was it overheating after a long use? I dont know, i dont have any issue with mine.

Super helpful, there was a lot of settings that I didn’t know was there.
Thanks for this! Super helpful. I'm filming workouts - should I keep the focus area on wide or change it to zone? Thank you!
@@thekelseyrose I would recommend keeping it on zone!
Pp8 profile is missing on a7c2
Which profile should I use ??
Thanks for the guide. I have a7cii, moving from the canon ecosystem.. I would like to see your video workflow if you're gonna make a video like that.

Hi thanks, what are the two values for SLOG3 and Cinetone for the Sony 7C ii ?
Hi my a7cii setting dont have 60fp max is 50fp why?
i have also a7cii camera. Same fps
60p is only available in NTSC - you’re probably in PAL. You can switch it in the Setup menu.

@@DylanBlackburn maybe so, but the option to use a mist or not would be my preference…

I shoot 800 iso during day for log but what’s a good iso for night? I think native is 800 iso correct?
If you have the A7CII then 3200 ISO would be best for night
awesome thank you. I have the A7CR.@@DylanBlackburn
Could you pls help me to find battery status/percent
it doesn't show up for me(((
If you’re not using official Sony batteries then the percentage typically won’t appear. Not sure if that applies to all but it does to most. It sucks but that’s just the way it is
@@DylanBlackburn also when I use smallrig or other well brands?
love ur videos man, thnks a lot
When I click the boxes for different settings for video, I like to use wide focus for video and expand for stills but when I change the focuses it changes for both photo and video do you know how to fix ?
That’s weird.. not sure what is going on there
When you’re shooting stills do you keep it on M dial or can save your still settings to a custom number dial too
@@joeybailey9628 for stills I keep it on M 99% of the time
thought apsc crop indeed had loss in video quality of about 1/3rd as it's digitally zoomed, not optical
Nope. Still upscaled 4K
Great tips for me, a beginner! Also, what do you use to edit?
Davinci Resolve! The free version is incredible
Great tips! Can the A7Cii shoot 4k at 30fps? Seems 24 or 60 only?
You should be able to shoot 30 FPS. I don’t have an A7CII but every Sony camera can record in 30 FPS
@@DylanBlackburnjust figured out it can only shoot 30fps in H264 but not at H265. But 60fps is available in both H264 and H265.. which is a bit strange.
Why my camera won't allow me to shoot 4K on V60 memory card? checking online V60 for 4K V90 for 8K.
