@@JorisHermans I just upgraded to Sony a7iv from Nikon d5500 and I'm looking to learn creating great videos with it. I'll be watching all your videos about film making and I'll be waiting for every new video)

[@ricardocastro4402]

Excelente video hermano🎉

[@ruff1draft]

Excellent informative advice and video

[@ekaterinalipinets9306]

Hello Joris, I like your video - very esthetic and useful info in so positive maner. Thanks

[@hansez]

Thank you so much . Finally a video with sense

[@ERicklic]

What a great educational comedy! Great job!

[@johnclay7644]

informative 13mins on Sony settings.

[@nunoandradebluesdrive]

you're video style is awesome. Great content.

[@tasphun009]

Hey Joris, me from India, love your videos and learned lots from it, Thank you for your effort to making lovely and wonderful videos. continue.......................

[@livewithnajam]

I really love the thumbnail Concept 🥰

[@AlienDrones]

This is fun! Nicely done! Night or dark I almost always use the Tiffen mist filter, love that creamy glow. 😎 That 12.8k ISO is great on the A7Siii, but many others not great up there...

[@JorisHermans]

Fun? FUN?! Don't you mean: "Incredible informative and interesting?" 🤨 Haha 😅 No, thanks, man! 🙏💥

[@Serenify10]

Awesome stuff man! Quit being so hard on yourself. You are easy listen too and your content is great. Keep it up!

[@chipcurry]

Ha ha. I used to know an old Fiddler, he got on stage and said "folks I'm so nervous I could probably thread a sewing machine while it's still running" great video.

[@AndreSjoberg]

Also, great walkthrough of examples and settings showing context, more creators should follow your example of connecting the dots … or maybe not, since that’ll give an advantage growing your fanbase ;)

[@hintfloow8496]

Man the thumbnail is🔥

[@JorisHermans]

Sonymatic!! 💥😎

[@Tricklarock]

I want to see someone do a settings video like this, but shot ENTIRELY with a kit lens, or at least a sub $900 normal range zoom lens. Like you said, the camera is not really giving you the 'look', but the lens. So if you use a kit lens, or at least the same lens throughout all examples, then people will have an idea of what a camera can or can't do. It's a total let down (in general, not towards you!) when I watch these type of vids, then find out they're using some $5k f/1.2 cinema/anamorphic lens! Talk about discouraging, especially for someone who saved for 4 yrs and finally was able to afford the cam... Sorry if I sound salty. This wasn't directed to the OP! Thanks for the vid!

[@kdcustomwoodworking]

Thank you as wood guy this is brutal to learn but I know I have to learn .Big thing is your right learn a couple of small things then build I have the Sony alpha 11 .

[@fgzy123]

Any experience shooting with 3 A7iii's simultaneously and transmitting the images to 3 monitors at video village? Is it possible? Or 3 images to 1 monitor which has split screen capabilities...

[@pedrojosebazilmercedes676]

Saludos from the Dominican Republic! And yes! A7 iv base ISO are 800 and 3200

[@DennisvanderSpoel]

What's your take on Cine 4?

[@NihalUsman]

Yes, you are correct , it is 800 & 3200 on Sony a7 iv slog 3

[@12345678927164]

You paint with light well.

[@djrightonbeat]

Too much coffee? ,, Love your channel!

[@JorisHermans]

Apparently it wasn't the coffee. Came down with something last night. Nauseous, headache... Feeling better already though 👌🏻💥

[@IamRichardWolfe]

I have The A7III and the settings seem to be very different than the one in the video.

[@richarddelea4273]

That's because he's using the A7siii

[@STUDIO-ew8dz]

Good job you didn't fart today. Otherwise great job. Thanks for sharing the information with us.👍📽🦉

[@117-niketgoswami8]

Hey man could you make the same video for those sony crop sensor lineup...?

[@JorisHermans]

Yes, 100%! But then Sony has to send me one... Sony!? You reading this? 🙃

[@itsbrandom_]

Shieet where can I find a more begginner friendly navigation for these video settings...? most of the settings you mentioned I have no idea how to even get there

[@foxmasterpiece2370]

What about Sony a 6400 settings ?

[@kayanna418]

Question I just bought an a7iii a few days ago and am already facing hot pixels, may i have a defect sony? should i just bring it back? have you delt with this? I have heard there are possible ways to fix but i don’t want to if it is only going to keep happening😭

[@JorisHermans]

Well, all I can say is that I once had hot pixels on a $8000 camera and there was also a way to fix it. I don't remember how exactly but anyway it worked and the hot pixels NEVER came back. Not sure if that's always the case though...

[@darlingtonjonesimagery9247]

Hybrid log gamma is good in low light

[@CO8848_2]

I heard this mnemonic: sunny day slog3, cloudy slog2, indoors HLG, night cine4. What do you think?

[@JorisHermans]

Gonna try it out!🙏🏻

[@DerTheoretiker]

Thanks for your setup. I often make indoor films with low light and use slog3. I will try some other profils. Do you habe an idea?

[@tomsteger1]

OK...maybe dumb question but, what does "shutter speed" have to do with shooting video? I can see ISO, aperature, color space, etc, but not shutter speed. What am I missing?

[@JorisHermans]

The shutter speed will decide the amount of motion blur. Also, a wrong shutter speed could interfere with other settings, as well as lights in the frame and even the refresh rate of screens resulting in jitters, stutters and flickering.

[@aaphotofilm]

aweosme video Joris, you did this in time because i was playing with my slog3 settings too, so this video was useful, many thanks :) I have the Sony IV you was almost right but the value for slog3 starts at 600 to 3200, so you was close lol

[@SHOTBYLEWWUTITDEW]

i believe its 800 and 3200

[@Brian444]

It’s 800 bud

[@princearthur4946]

Nice presentation! I would remove that loud annoying music intro as your main sound curtain.

[@Cineinsaner]

You talking really good i mean i can't see any problem..i am Just learning so much

[@JorisHermans]

Apparently I had a fever and headache started right after recording this video. But I feel great again now 😎💥🙏🏻

[@SidelinePlugs]

What should my file format and movie settings be if i record basketball games ?

[@JorisHermans]

Since everything moves fast 60fps and 1/125th shutter.

[@SidelinePlugs]

@@JorisHermans I have my Rec frame rate set to 120p should i change that ?

[@JorisHermans]

@@SidelinePlugs Should look fine but I feel like it's overkill. Usually sports is recorded in 50 or 60p.

[@SidelinePlugs]

@@JorisHermans ok thanks, I'll change it to 60p

[@JorisHermans]

@@SidelinePlugs Just try it out. There are no rules, just guidelines. If you like 120p better, shoot 120p 💯💥

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

for detail i do -7, this is to drastic in your opinion?

[@JorisHermans]

No, I also put it on -7 sometimes if I want more control.

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

@@JorisHermans but mostly what you use?

[@JorisHermans]

-4 90% of the time.

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

@@JorisHermans cool thank broooo

[@RafalGendarz]

What? You record the studio content in 8-bit? Can’t believe it 😀

[@JorisHermans]

Yup! Talking head videos 8-bit! Looks great 🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏻🙃

[@RafalGendarz]

@@JorisHermans u crazy 😀

[@JorisHermans]

That I am... 😅😎

[@HonestFred]

HLG for low light

[@Tricklarock]

Please continue!

[@RafalGendarz]

What are your detail settings for slog3?

[@JorisHermans]

-4

[@RafalGendarz]

@@JorisHermans Ty. And do you add some sharpness in post or that’s it ?

[@JorisHermans]

@@RafalGendarz that's it.

[@RafalGendarz]

@@JorisHermans Ty!

[@hansez]

I think you’re way too self continuous haha but so useful

[@JorisHermans]

Self continuous 🤔🤨

[@medalgear654]

the A7iii doesn't have a 640 iso with the slog-3 setting. It can only go up to 800

[@JorisHermans]

Yes, base iso is different on every camera.

[@wassimyounes313]

What about Sony A7r4

[@JorisHermans]

Does it support s-log 3?

[@AndreSjoberg]

+1 for Team Pineapple on Pizza

[@JorisHermans]

😅 Tastes great 🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏻

[@AndreSjoberg]

@@JorisHermans It’s perfect with spicy toppings :)

[@JorisHermans]

@@AndreSjoberg jalapeñooooooos!!! 😋

[@hinfinity]

Zve10? 🥺 👉🏾👈🏾

[@JorisHermans]

Does it support Log? 🤔

[@hinfinity]

@@JorisHermans not sure honestly I’m new to all of this Sony stuff

[@RafalGendarz]

This dark footage in slog2 when graded heavily would look like 💩

[@JorisHermans]

Naaaah, S-log 2 looks great 😁💥

[@gettriggered8404]

sony a7iv, base ISO? anyone?

[@braxtonwoullard1188]

In slog3 it’s 800 and 3200 for 2nd base iso.

[@amazingsulthan]

Bro always use the avarage 😂
