7 Sony Camera Settings I Wish I Knew Sooner!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Best sponsor segment ever. BTW, I love the long haired white balance guy. He seems awesome

[@JasonVong]

kinda looks like someone I know but can't quite figure it out... 🤔

[@DannysHauntedJourney]

Mark Bennett should take notes from the long haired white balance guy.

[@aarondelacruz]

This ad was super creative hahaha

[@PhilipBlank]

My goodness, it actually was lol

[@ruslanr.6171]

by creative you mean annoying, right?

[@ryan56976]

First ad I’ve not just skipped through. I really like this series. Keep em coming

[@CVEXPLORES]

Hey hey it’s me! Thanks for the shoutout - I just record internally for weddings so having the info on screen is more useful - sorry if I’ve confused more people haha

[@bodyweightbob8669]

Always appreciate actual ad integrations, respect.

[@andrebrizan511]

Great video. Love the advert also.

[@TheCoolFactor]

The Artlist ad got me rolling 😂Well done! Thanks for the tips, Jason! NOW GO CRY TO VIVIEN.

[@stuartdavis798]

I enjoy your videos because they are entertaining while presenting very useful information. Even the intra-video advertisement was entertaining which is pretty amazing. I didn't even skip it. Thanks!

[@JasonVong]

thanks Stuart!!

[@marinrealestatephotography]

I already here enough strange voices in my head as it is. No need to add a bunch more strange voices to your video.

[@Paintbait]

Tip 2: Actually just shoot raw. If you're doing portraits or something take a reference with the cap or your neutral gray card, but white balance doesn't matter if you're shooting raw because you can set it in post. I think the first tip should be: Just shoot in raw. Tip 6 doesn't work in RAW, but there is super 35 which does work in RAW at a hit to the overall MP (but if you're shooting in like 60mp it's totally fine go wild).

[@AVPUK]

Tip 4....YES!!!!!! We've done that school boy error a few times!

[@filipinovines]

Got it brother.

[@ElevationDrone-RRinflight]

Thanks for the tips, there a lot to learn with my new equipment. I have the FX3 and the Alpha 7R IV, I had some issues updating the firmware.. It also has the menu across the top, its the old setup.. Keep the videos coming!

[@dannywinget]

This sponsor placement is just genius

[@850Tech]

Camera body cap tip foe White balance was good.

[@camaxide]

It's the first video where I've actually enjoyed the ad segment, and that says alot with this also being the video with the heaviest ad-focus I've seen - just really well done, and shows the power of the AI voice tool while also adding fun to the video. Very informative video - saved it for when I get a Sony Camera :)

[@johnnybermudez]

Dude I had Tip 5 for all NTSC but when I went to shoot in the EU I never did it for PAL so huge huge time for viewers do what Jason suggested even in PAL for those who may shoot in the EU. Cant hurt! Thanks dude your content is amazing... 🙏🏼🎥

[@JasonVong]

OMG I haven't even thought to do it for PAL too! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@ameleh61]

Just got an A7RV. Figuring out which buttons should get which settings is quite complicated. I'd love to have a complete list of every function that can be put on a button, divided by those that need to be held down to function, and those that are settings that stay changed. With the FN screen, and My Menu, and many of the buttons, there's plenty of places for the ones that don't need to be held down while shooting. BUT there are only 3 that can be easily held down while you're also holding the shutter button. (AF-ON, AEL, and maybe one on a lens). I have changed them several times already and would like to know ALL of the options. I know that's a lot to ask. Thanks dude!

[@todoguahan2896]

Do you recommend recording to a separate video recorder as you record to the SD Card in the camera? Always appreciate your videos, thank you.

[@stevejaystudios819]

Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭

[@edgorochowski9709]

Brilliant session Jason, very very entertaining.

[@swivel84]

The bit rate setting on different mode was something I didn’t know! Thanks for the tips!

[@avpjon]

Even better video than usual, if that's possible! Great video with the voices, etc.

[@ItsDwizz]

The lens cap tip did it for me 🐐

[@james.clinton]

I’ve forgotten to hit the record button on some Timelapse work, fortunately never too long, but I’d love if they’d have the tally light on when shooting intervals! Hopefully getting a 2.0 menu system camera soon!

[@crAzePro]

Jason you‘re a great advertiser !

[@lonniesfilmmaking333]

Cheers much, your hard work and lots of info, is much appreciated 😊❤

[@the_rat_run]

Sony lens/body cap tip is priceless! Thanks Jason.

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Jason! Thanks for making it. That ad read was great too.

[@oceanjoel5032]

Always looking forward to your new videos! Just got my new a7Cii and your videos are so helpful in setting it up!🙌🏾

[@JasonVong]

congrats on the a7C II! Hope your enjoying it!

[@oren.hausler]

This was a super helpful video, thanks!

[@tejidotcom]

Amazing ad and amazing video🔥😂

[@Oztubee]

Hi JV, Would you do a video of your function button and what you have in there? For the 2.0 new sony menu

[@jamesnicholas2325]

Man, Jason Vong is awesome.

[@antoniosbarakos4949]

friend when you rec a wedding in a church can you tell which option is the best for focus?

[@EdgarOliveiraTB]

Great video Jason! Very smart way to advertise!!

[@shreddykrueger9171]

One of the most annoying Sony bugs is that you can't set a custom white balance on any custom preset modes like 1,2 & 3. I only use these modes because I have all my favorite settings saved and can never capture a custom white balance. Any tips or workarounds?

[@Coatsey007]

As always Jason, I really good Video and I like the fact you understand that not Sony users know these tricks. I really liked the Grayscale one however I realise that when you’re in memory recall 1,2 & 3 you can’t use this technique I wonder if there’s a way around it.

[@woodiemoore]

You produce great videos. One point. Sony refers to what you call a briefcase the toolbox.

[@blueridgestops3128]

HDMI info display is ON BY DEFAULT on the A6700! Was planning on the Atomos Ninja 5 sometime this year. Thanks for saving my bacon!

[@OdysseusVrakas]

Best ad segment ever😂 and good video tips too.

[@hMint]

The lens cap gray card tip is the first time I've heard about it (somehow), really great tip

[@PeterV]

Bro I always loved your content!

[@helencogan2187]

AWESOME tips and AWESOME video!!! THANK YOU!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JasonVong]

thanks for always watching, Helen!

[@bo3li981]

Im new user and ur videos are great jason

[@oh_really8361]

So I’m confused with tip #1 do I leave HDMI Display On or Off?

[@ruslanr.6171]

I believe it should be off if you use external monitor to record on it, because it with record everything you see on display like menus and settings. Just test it beforehand to make sure. Without external video recorder it doesn't matter if it is on or off.

[@JasonVong]

Off!

[@quasiguy]

As a person with red/green colorblindness, I wish Sony would give us options BESIDES RED for the "Emphasized REC Display"--like they do with the focus peaking color. I appreciate that this feature exists, but I'd rather the box was blue or yellow or...just about anything but red and green. Because I really can't see the red box, so it's not much help to me. The same with all the battery chargers that switch from red to green when the battery is charged. I often cannot tell them apart! (SAD FACE EMOJI)

[@JasonVong]

Sony has been adding a lot of different accessibility features lately so hopefully that's also something on their radar.

[@bryanbuff]

I feel ya!

[@Raj2005_sa]

Does all this tips counts to fuji cameras except the camera sensor cap tip?!

[@BillZebubproductions]

I started recording on the Ninja and have a hard drive half full. When I saw your vid, I almost had a heart attack, The HDMI display was set to ON. However, when I loaded the footage into Premiere, there was no overlay. Maybe I had set something on the Nina NOT to record the info. I vaguely recall that i set the display to ON because I wanted to see info on the Ninja monitor. Anyway, I didn't have a heart attack.

[@JasonVong]

And you said you were recording to the Atomos and not directly to the SD card in camera right? Phew!

[@BillZebubproductions]

@@JasonVong Yes sir. I thought that I had accidentally zonked the footage, but none of the overlay info was recorded onto the Ninja. It might be a different setting that makes the recording bake the display info. Anyway, I am extremely happy with the 12-bit Prores Raw. I will soon be getting a second Ninja.

[@DimmyV]

Nice one Jason. 📸😂

[@clydedigital]

yeah, great advice, because about one in a million of us are into recording pro-res raw to external storage... and they people shouldn't be left out. Click!

[@colombiaesunviaje]

Love the tips esp as a Sony alpha owner…and the humor!

[@chitung2277]

What's the difference WB off 18% grey vs white in ambient light?

[@CsiklosMiklos]

Vong's multiple personalities just got real

[@MartinV.]

Great Video

[@gombirchakma2401]

haya can you do a playlist about sony (film simultion) been have watching you since i bought a sony last year

[@shotbylg1311]

I’ve seen plenty of Artist ads this is the only one that made me want to buy it lol

[@Driftuner]

Never had i ever before rewatched the ad section of a video😂😂😂

[@JasonVong]

haha thank you!!

[@Nathan_Lundstrom]

Tips are great, but you have the best Artlist voiceover AI ad so far 😂😂

[@rojaecrosby1554]

Hey Jason I have a question, I realize that when I play back my video footage through my field monitor I don’t hear any sound, even tho I see the sound displays moving in the monitor… the volume on the monitor is turned up so I’m lost as to why I’m not hearing it… also when I bring my footage in post, sound plays just fine… any advice here? Also artist ad was top tier👌

[@rayzorpdx2664]

I really like the info you provide! Thank you

[@Driftuner]

9:39 😮😮😮

[@XankXamFilms]

😁😁😁

[@sowrirajanranganathan9427]

Sir while using 10 bit cam do you really need external monitor.....# jus asking

[@JasonVong]

At least with Sony, if you want to do other codecs like ProRes RAW, an external recorder like an Atomos would be the only way

[@PhilemonKabuje]

I had to listen the whole ad today😂

[@kevinmandeville4750]

Just a note, ClearImage zoom doesn't work at all when shooting in RAW mode. At least not on my A7iii

[@chrismccathern4653]

Raw? Video isn't shot in RAW

[@kevinmandeville4750]

​@@chrismccathern4653Sure looks like taking photos with this clearimagezoom feature here. I'm not talking about video. Clear image zoom only works when shooting photos in JPG mode

[@kevinmandeville4750]

​@@chrismccathern4653he's shooting a photo talking about clearimage zoom. Not video. It doesn't work when shooting photos in raw mode. Just jpg

[@tomislavliposek]

everytime I use sony lens cap for WB I get green screen error. Why is that?

[@UnrupturedTV]

Hahahahaha you are a freaking natural Jason!

[@Geethepancake]

My zve 10 which is on the 1.0 system has the red marker around the screen

[@JasonVong]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@dominiquechenevert2760]

Time to give it up my man. That Panasonic Lumix GH7 IS IT!!!!!!

[@monetkhuth]

You’re videos are too funny 🤣🤣

[@TrueNorf]

GREAT Video Jason! And Epic tips! I hope you've stopped hearing the voices.....

[@JasonVong]

Me too

[@janhesters7440]

Please create a video how to upgrade the ZV-E1 to version 2.

[@leballads3190]

Easy bro : Step 1 . Grab your wallet Step 2 . Take the credit card out Step 3. Use the phone order online Done easy

[@Dragonlove3]

Awesome

[@cyb]

6:20 the new canon has that prerecording thing

[@JasonVong]

C'mon Sony... give us internal storage & pre-recording PUH-LEASE!

[@Harvester88]

Artlist ad was funny.

[@johnjudson3466]

The Emphasized Rec Display is missing on my A7CR menu. Any thought?

[@craiggillette4381]

That's what I thought too, with my A6700. But I was in "stills." I I moved to video on the selector wheel and went back through the menu and there it was. This is really important. I wear glasses and the little record/standby indicator isn't always really obvious.

[@JasonVong]

As Craig suggested, make sure to be in video mode first!

[@denny_christ]

nice info

[@4nupam]

unable to find the "Emphasized REC Display" setting on my A6400. what am i missing or doing wrong? 🤔 somebody pls help. 🙏 thanks in adv.

[@4nupam]

looks like it has got to do something with the 1.0 vs 2.0 menu settings? 🤨🙁

[@gerikmd]

"So many voices!"

[@goldmamba2843]

Shout out to the long time members patience, I’m one of the newbies that got benefit from every tip 😂

[@davidwells6525]

I wish you would have explained the zoom setting more and that it doesn't work with shooting RAW...

[@JasonVong]

Ah yes these tips are more catered to video mode than for photo mode. Clear Image Zoom works with JPEG only in photo mode.

[@woodiemoore]

That yellow menu tab... Sony named this "toolbox" not briefcase.

[@D3RPZILLA]

No 30fps in xavc hs 4k on my a6700 :-/

[@andytanvu]

There's a really annoying setting that Sony cameras always set to ON on default, it's the face priority in multi metering, in manual mode if recording a person with this setting on and that one turn their head or just move around a bit, video instantly getting darker like 1 stop darker, so frustrating with this one but it took me like months to find the problem, wewww, it was a pain right in the cheek,now I always remember to turn this gabbage setting to Off everytime I get a new Sony camera.

[@brettyg76]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the best!…. But THAT face🤣🤣🤣🤣😮😮😮… Vivienne…Vivienne…. The voices are back!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ekphotography]

Too bad the custom white balance does not work when you are using Custom mode dials 1.2.3 on the A7IV. SO stupid Sony does not fix this option. And I imagine Version 2.0 is Not for the A7IV. Is that just for the Fx3 and FX30 or ZV models? Seems they could make that an option for the A7IV.

[@SooWooLifeDrako]

Jason Vong Or Potato Jet?

[@briangee100]

If things are wrong, I go to the Vong. If I need to smile, I stay a while.

[@JasonVong]

🥰

[@gearsandgrit]

Jason is hearing voices 😂

[@KroniksEvap]

Jason: "For Sony alpha cameras" Me who uses a canon: 👂👁️👃👁️👂 👄

[@chrissnyder4439]

Clear image zoom sounds great except that it is too restrictive. No, movie, can't use cont. shooting, face detection, RAW... Sorry, I didn't pay all this money for a camera just to shoot a jpeg.

[@iorramgx2]

Beeeest AD EEEEEEEEVER KKKKKK

[@mustang2005]

Lmao the voices 😂

[@mukarimu]

Tip 1 for NinjaV users: The HDMI Info. Display ruined all my B-Roll once. Very annoying.

[@MylesInfocus]

White balance with the body and lens caps blew my mind (⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠0⁠*⁠)⁠ﾉ

[@GoodyMorillas]

Nice AD hahah

[@vybesmedia7176]

Sony should fix that

[@EytianoStylez]

funny and informative lol

[@fnshirokov]

Очень даже круто

[@TheMeccus]

As always, loved the content (that cap tip blew my mind!), but... f*ck AI.
