how do you only have 1.1k yet your vids are high quality tf?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

If you can figure out what I'm doing wrong, let me know! hahaha. Thank you very much for saying that though!!

[@PreKnechiaJaNae]

Yeah he’s so right! You should have way more subs!

[@JordanHauserGbg]

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[@elvisonstage]

Hey, Jordan! My wife has had this HX80 for 2 years. She recently purchased the Nikon D5600 and found how difficult the Nikon is! So...she got the Sony HX80 out again! Your "Best Settings" video gave her all the confidence with the HX80 she needed! I pulled your December, 2016, video on unboxing and review. THIS was great! It gave us a preview of the 60p 50M deal! Please keep the great videos coming! I gave both videos a thumbs-up and subscribed! THANK YOU!!!

[@FAMILYDESPARD]

This is my husband Christmas gift for 1 year ago I don't know how to use. Thank you so much for making this video its a big help for me.

[@chillingwithmono6710]

[@lozhector]

Jordan, to shoot at the HX80's full potential, what SD card do you recommend? Thanks for the video!

[@oneluv-ent]

I just purchase this camera and I’m waiting on it in the mail and u just made me feel like I didn’t make a mistake by ordering this!

[@elvisonstage]

I LOVE your video on the Sony HX-80 camera! I got my wife this camera several years ago. NOW...she has the camera out and can't use it! She has a movie mode screen she is stuck in. How does she get OUT of this screen please? Too, going by your instructions, how can she leave the video mode and get back to camera mode for still images? I cannot say THANK YOU enough!!!

[@djron3697]

Thanks you! I just subscribed to your channel. I just bought this camera for $150 from someone with a tripod included. You gave the best information in your videos on this than everyone else!

[@jusDenyse]

Just got this Sony! Thank you for this super helpful video!

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+jusDenyse that’s great!!

[@joelnert]

I've referred back to this video multiple times. But this time after adjusting some settings to try to make smaller file size, and adjusting it back to the higher quality settings, the images are blurring and lagging. When I move the image on the viewfinder screen is delayed and blurring. I hoped it was only on the viewscreen but it turns out it's also on the video files themselves. Can you think of something that caused this, a setting I inadvertently changed? Or might the camera have crapped the best at the same time coincidentally?

[@macronella9690]

I couldn't be more grateful for this video, than I am now. Thank you so much!

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Macronella well that’s fantastic! I’m glad it was helpful!

[@ladytzcd]

Thank you for sharing I just purchased this camera and I’m very new at this KZbin thing so I do appreciate you sharing this video by the way I did subscribed to your channel

[@billfoster9317]

Great tips, just picked this camera up a week ago after doing a little research and watching some of your previous videos. I subscribed and looking forward to future vid's, thanks for the info.

[@JordanHauserGbg]

Thanks, welcome to the gang! It's a great little camera and can shoot great video if you keep that ISO down and give that sensor a bunch of light!

[@TammyGrosso]

I got my SONY HX80 and subscribed to you a long time ago. Why I never ended up watching this and implementing it? I Dont know. But thank you. I have this camera, a go pro hero and a Nikon COOLPIX P510. I dont do much editing and learned most of my stuff on my own. But your videos have helped me a bunch! Thanks!

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Tammy Grosso awe, thanks! That’s awesome to know :)

[@nikos.b]

13M means 13 Megapixels, not Megabytes

[@JordanHauserGbg]

Dude, hahaha. I can't believe I f'd that up. lol. Thank you for correcting!

[@jasminedashel]

Thanks for the quick and easy tips! I just brought my mom a camera for Christmas for her channel and this saved me so much time! Do you have any reviews on other DSLR cameras? I’m looking a for a new one to buy to record on my channel and I love your tips for changing the settings.

[@mybudfriend360]

just bought this camera right now ! now i got these settings :) hella yea!!!!!

[@JordanHauserGbg]

NICE! Hope it helps out!

[@AllThingsFitnessandLifestyle]

I come here every year for your videos, still not knowing how to set my camera properly. The lighting is not really giving, lol.

[@DTRBrianMallard]

Great video, clear and concise. I use the same settings. The lens aperture isn't very wide so a lot of light is absolutely needed

[@idalena9061]

thank you so much Jordan!!! we made a deal so I did my part and subbed! you made my videos 10x better

Thank you for providing the best settings for this camera

[@karthurjr]

Well, I set up as you suggested. Let's go out and try it. Basically a pic taker only. Thanks again from a newbie to your channel.

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+K Arthur sure thing buddy! Have fun out there!!

[@mikemuffin69er]

just getting into vlogging and this video definitely helped. You kept up your end of the deal so I'll keep up mine with a subscribe. thanks again.

[@brenn4063]

which is the easiest video editing program for beginners making home videos?

[@elvisonstage]

AND...your onscreen persona is great!

[@juanramartinez214]

My pictures always look kind of blurry and only focus on the middle. Any recommendations on how to make pictures more crips avoiding that kind of blurry effect around? Is driving me crazy 😒😂

[@Boehme417]

Can anything you say be trusted when you say megabytes, when the camera is actually referring to MEGAPIXELS?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Boehme417 haha, hmmmm... maybe my master plan is to give everyone terrible info so that they don’t know how to run this camera 😂 Sorry for the mix up mate, yes the 18m refers to megapixels while the 50m refers to bit rate (which is 50mb/second) 😉

[@glambychelsmari9438]

I’ve seen a couple vids on the setting for this camera but it doesn’t come out right. I’m glad I found your video. I’m hoping next time I film the quality is better. Thank you !

[@JordanHauserGbg]

Really glad I could help out! Pro tip... Don't forget to give this camera a bunch of light, you'll get much better looking footage!

[@tana3537]

This really helped me out! Thank you!!!

[@CassandraGonzalez]

Could this possibly work for a camera to phone like for transfers ?

[@sydneytrevino7961]

Hi Jordan! I've had this camera for years just to use for photos and I STILL haven't figured out how to avoid over exposure outdoors (where its really bright). The background is always so bright (pretty much white) and foreheads have that terrible shine. I know you made these HX80 videos so long ago, but im wondering if you could help? I try to shoot in manual as well!

[@peterbustin2683]

Very interesting as just bought this little camera as a companion to my EOS 100D and to be honest it takes better pictures ! I have just now subbed..

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Peter Bustin awesome man! It really does take nice pics. I don’t typically use it for photos, but I have been extremely happy with the results! Thanks for checking out my stuff!

[@paddle_hike]

ok i've learned something so you win my subs (great video!)

[@beecoolgirl7257]

Thank you Jordan! This video really helped me with my new camera.

[@tonyran1611]

Thanks you really helped me going on Family Get together,

[@NYinSD]

Great video! Question can you take pictures while recording a video?

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

SWEET...Thanks for the Review. I just bought this and will be using it only as a Recorder as My GoPro's can only Do So Much. Nice Review and thanks for this video.

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Blackapino The Apple Guy awesome man, hope you like it!

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

I do..A lot of settings to get used too but i like it. Primarily wanted to flip screen and the cannon was too much just for that option.

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Blackapino The Apple Guy I hear you man, the canon is a great camera.. I use it often, but it’s super expensive. This is a great camera when I’m doing more risky things where I may drop it. It films wonderfully in bright daylight

[@mineibyv7263]

My camera on the movie setting is showing up some moving black lines do you know how to get rid of that

[@ElRegioYLaChina05]

how do i convert the video on these settings?

[@cooljoule17]

I will try your tips....But was wondering what setting can I use with the HX80 if I want to shoot stills while I am videoing a movie?

[@cooljoule17]

I video sports (my kids games) and like to take photos while in movie mode...help?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

I would use the best setting for video that I showed you in this video... You should still be able to fire off stills in that mode as well. If not, you may have to go into .mp4. I would just go out and try it, see what you come up with and let us know!

[@cooljoule17]

No luck taking stills with your settings or any others while taking a video. I used to be able to take stills but something happened and now I cannot.

Does this camera have clean hdmi out?

[@sanjeevrattanlal6734]

should i buy the sony hx80 or sony hx99

[@julian_acevedo]

Hi Jordan, thanks for your videos, I have one question about this video, are that the best settings for take great pictures too?

[@maxouttanowhere6059]

Nice video. That's very true about the HX80 needing a hefty amount of light to truly dazzle I've noticed that the more I use mine. Just wondering what editing software/program do you use with your camera?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+CallMeBigMax thanks man! I use premiere pro

[@ChasingtheKraken]

Hey Jordan. A question from a fellow Jordan. haha. I run a primarily kayak fishing channel and use a GoPro Hero 6 BUT it freezes at least once or twice per session. And I wouldn't mind having something that takes decent stills as well. What are your honest thoughts in 2022 for using the HC80 as a low cost KZbin video camera (1080p 60 fps) vs ? Thanks in advance.

[@franhain7699]

[@JordanHauserGbg]

That's excellent, I'm glad you like it!

[@CrazyMakeshiftGaming]

Ok, so I've got a question for you. I've had the HX80 for about four months now and I've been recording in mp4 because I assumed that the quality wouldn't be any worse and that it would be easier to work with. My question is what do you think that if I switched to XAVC S HD I would see a quality increase, and if so what file type would it be so that I'll know if it will work with my editor. The reason why I'm asking is that my current memory card does support XAVC S HD and if I'm not going to see any quality increases I don't want to buy the new card.

[@JordanHauserGbg]

It still uses the .mp4 wrapper. When shooting in XAVC S HD the footage is recording at 50mb/s which is over double what a standard .mp4 records at. So, in theory, yes.. your footage will look better because it will have been recorded at a higher bit rate. This doesn't solve the light issue though... you still need a ton of light to make this camera preform at it's peak.

[@stfuplsok]

@@JordanHauserGbg its* peak

[@khalidalhindi5486]

I made the same settings that you made in the video and the moment I pushed the recoding button it says: can’t record in this recording setting either switch to an SDXC class 10 or UHS-I compatible memory card, etc or change the file format! WHAT should I do! Please help? The memory I’m using is SanDisk Ultra 32GB

Press up.

[@CheskaMoore]

Just bought this camera because I feel like you have so many videos explaining it so well, that I’ll actually be able to use this to its potential. I was wondering, would it still be good for a sit down video? like this one, where you’re just talking to the camera. I record singing cover where I overlay the audio separately, I also have a light rig. I’m wondering if it will give me better footage then my current iPhone ...?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Cheska Moore awesome! So I can’t say for sure that it would be “better” but you could absolutely have more control over the settings and use it for a sit down video. It’s a pretty great little camera! I hope you enjoy it!

[@corbohhslame]

Hi, when I have my camera set on AVCHD it will not let me load it onto my mac or phone. Playmemories home only allows mp4. Please tell me how you load your videos to your computer :(

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Ashley Christine you physically have to take the SD card from the camera and attach it to your computer. Click on it and look through the files to find your footage :) simple

[@corbohhslame]

i have a macbook, i can't put the SD card into my computer

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Ashley Christine then you’ll have to go to Best Buy or an electronics store and buy a card reader.. it hooks up via usb

[@MichaelRizzoVlogs]

Jordan Hauser Digital so if I edit on my iPhone (I currently can’t afford a laptop that can handle good editing) what’s the best way I can get my footage there?

[@MichaelRizzoVlogs]

Without the card reader...

THANK YOU! My boyfriend bought this camera for me as a birthday gift last year because I love to record memories and compile them into a video at the end of the year. He was also trying to get me back into KZbin. Your video has given some much information in a short time. They only trouble I am having currently is transfering my photos/videos on to my macbook pro to create the videos. Please help!

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Stacy B. Awe, that’s awesome! So all you have to do is take the SD card from the camera and open it on your computer. If your computer doesn’t have an SD card slot, then you’ll have to buy a card reader that hooks up via usb to your computer... they’re super affordable;) Then just go through the card and find your video files. Super easy!

[@stacyb.5134]

Thank you. I’m able to get the photos from the DCIM FOLDER but I can’t find the videos. Is there a special software that I would have to download?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

Hey Jordan! So I used an SD card I had laying around from an older camera and I couldn’t record anything except in MP4. What SD card do you recommend so that I can use it with with the best speed and HD quality. I’m new to all of this and your videos have been super helpful.

[@JordanHauserGbg]

Hey there! Thank you very much, there's more to come! Yes, you are correct. You will need a faster, more heavy duty card in order to shoot in those other formats... I just picked up one of these, it's super fast! amzn.to/2T2XMAo

Shaya Sussman it may be a class issue.. do you have a fast sd card? Something like SDXC class 10? I would look at getting a faster card.. or maybe you have too much stuff on your card? Try erasing your card using the “format” function and giving it another shot!

[@JessDavies]

Thanks for this! I'm having issues with getting the correct settings for video when out and about, the camera keeps burning out and overexposing the light. I've tried to find an answer for this but can't! :( Anyone else having this issue?

[@JordanHauserGbg]

+Jess Davies hey there! So first thing I’d do is check to make sure your camera is in manual mode so that you’re making all the decisions and not the camera. If it’s too bright you can lower the iso which will make the shot darker and give you a much clearer picture. If it’s still too bright then you can boost your aperture to a higher number to make it darker, something like f8 or f11. If you’re shooting in 24p you’ll want your shutter speed set at 1/50 and if you’re shooting in 60p then make the shutter 1/125. That should do it! Thanks for watching:)
