Let me know if you have any questions about the a7Cii 📸

[@daltonkaufmann9087]

What program are you using to edit your videos? I am having so much trouble getting the video files into any editing programs

I never figure out how to shoot HDR Video using the SONY A7CII/CR. Can anyone explain please ?

[@anweshbhattacharjya1473]

Hi, I can't find SLog2 in A7cII. Even the Picture profiles 7 8 9 aremissing.Could you please tell me how I can get them back?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Slog2 has been replaced by SLOG3. It’s a better mode because you can shoot with a lower base ISO (among other things) than you could with slog2. Those picture profiles are not an option anymore either.

[@lee-threeimagery7150]

Very clear and easy to follow. Just what I needed. Thank you! Keep up the great work!!

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Glad to help! 👍

[@rhomieboss]

hi do you how to turn off voice description in menu setting of this camera ? thanks

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I’m not sure but it’s probably somewhere in the last menus settings area (I don’t have the camera anymore).

[@orenmarzuk]

Thank so you much! odd that they didn't a built in slog3 pp. I can set it myself but I need to check what are the best settings for slog3 in the picture profile (details etc..)

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Yea, gotta play around with what works best for you.

[@giovcarrillo4222]

very informative video! what would you recommend more the camera built in rec709 lut or gamma assist when shooting in slog 3? which more preferable in shooting slog3 accessing it using flexible ISO or changing the settings in the picture profile to slog3?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I prefer using the picture profiles. And I use Gamma assist when using picture profiles, but keep in mind that stuff is over saturated at that point.

[@giovcarrillo4222]

@@CamberFilmSchool Thanks dor the reply. Technically, you can't use user assignable LUTs with Picture Profile, right? You'll be forced to shoot in flexible ISO in order to use your imported LUTs.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

@giovcarrillo4222 oh yeah, I think so.

[@Pfagnan]

Well done my friend! Thanks for taking the time. When I buy it real soon, I will refer back to this video!

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Awesome! 👍

[@capics6779]

Can you please tell if active Steady works also at HD 120 ? On the A74 active Steady is limited to HD/4K 60p.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I’m not sure. I don’t have the camera anymore.

[@dank9630]

I have a question. Can we get 1080p 120fps 10 bit 4.2.2 out of this camera like the a7iv?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Yes.

[@DavidLancefield1]

Great video, thank you. I have set it to 25p but it doesn’t allow me to change shutter speed from 1/25 saying it’s not possible in Intelligent Focus mode. I want to change it to 1/50. Can you show me how to do this pls?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Focus modes shouldn’t affect the shutter speed. Sounds like you’re in one of the automatic aperture/shutter video modes. Switch to manual and you’ll be able to change it.

[@BenSussmanpro]

Thanks for all this information! I’m primarily a stills shooter but gradually learning video, so I set log as off and use Picture profile 11 (cinematic). Would I have any headroom for small exposure adjustments (in Adobe Premiere)? Thanks again

[@CamberFilmSchool]

It’s not as good as RAW photos but it will give you a little better dynamic range than no PP

[@RawDeal-mo1ng]

Thanks I needed this.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

👍 glad to help!

[@linangoclan]

Thank you for the video! I am not able to adjust (usually lower) the ISO when shooting videos outdoor. They are usually over exposed unless I change to Auto instead of Manual. Do you have any tips on how I can change or fix this issue? :)

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I don't think the ISO is going lower when you switch to auto. What is likely happening is your camera is either increasing the aperture or shutter speed or both when you switch to Auto. Getting an ND filter (like sunglasses for your lens) will allow you to block more light out without changing the aperture or shutter speed. I have videos on the channel about ND filters.

[@BlueHorizonMoments]

Does this one not have a Gamma display assist?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

It should.

[@jillianbarger8255]

Thanks!

[@CamberFilmSchool]

😉

[@taoyang-r8j]

I want to shoot cloud. How should I do

[@CamberFilmSchool]

As in clouds in the sky?

[@taoyang-r8j]

@CamberFilmSchool yeah, my colors have some color differences. I'm using the creative look of C2, but I can't debug the color shift to achieve the same effect as the human eye

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I wouldn’t use any creative effect when filming. Thats the kind of stuff you want to add later on. Otherwise it’s baked into the footage and hard to change.

[@Ty_RS3]

How do I get sound in S&Q mode?

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I don’t think you can. That’s another reason I like to simply film in a different frame rate and slow it down myself in post.

[@johnclay7644]

informative content.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

thanks!

[@replay0712]

If mainly doing 4k60, any quality difference comparing a7cii vs 6700? Thanks. Sub!

[@CamberFilmSchool]

I’m not sure cause I haven’t used the a6700 yet. But as long as you have good lighting, you won’t be able to tell the difference.

[@anubhabbiswas5393]

Where is S-Log 2??

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Replaced with SLOG3

[@anubhabbiswas5393]

@@CamberFilmSchool How can it be replaced? If you see a7c/a7iv both camera has S-Log 2 and S-Log 3

[@CamberFilmSchool]

@anubhabbiswas5393 the a7C came out in late 2020 and the a74 came out in October 2021. Slog 3 was still new back then. The a7C2 came out two years after that in September 2023.

[@anubhabbiswas5393]

@@CamberFilmSchool But I was saying that a7c is lower version than a7c ii but a7c has S-Log 2 and a7c ii doesn't...

[@CamberFilmSchool]

@anubhabbiswas5393 I know that. And I’m saying that slog 3 is better than slog 2 which is why they probably didn’t include it in a camera that came out 3 years later. They had both on the a7C because it was a new addition back then. Just like you don’t find an slog 1 version on the a7C.

[@debtanude3833]

sony a7cii don't have s log2, how to manage that😢😢

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Just use SLOG3 instead.
