[@VictorLaforteza]

@@enwhy yes, it goes automatic based on your exposure comp. If you go full manual, then you can't change the exposure comp. One needs to be auto for exposure compensation to turn on

[@praveenjangid9566]

what a amazing video, I have seen many tuts on picture profiles and most of the users have good lens on then so they don't have problem to expose the footage correctly but you used kit lens to shoot such an amazing footage. Mad respect

[@daniel_tenner]

Ok, I figured out the whole "set the camera in shutter priority mode"... but doesn't that mean that the aperture is now basically whatever the camera wants? Which means any depth of field I might be aiming for is basically out the window (and there's already not that much with the kit lens). I do have another lens coming hopefully today (sigma 14mm lens yay)... I guess that will make a big difference? I'm finding that shooting in Slog3 atm works well when shooting scenes in natural light or really well lit environments, but when shooting my "talking head" style videos in my office, with a darker background, it is struggling to focus properly and "looks low res" and noisy even in 4k. I guess the kit lens is the problem?

[@VictorLaforteza]

You’ll need more light indoors as SLOG3 and the camera is exposure hungry.

[@mikesrandomchannel]

Good comment, I found this, too. I really liked the actual look of the final clip even before tweaking (once I'd applied the Sony LUT) but it is not in focus. I think I'll also wait til I have another lens before trying this out. Something to look fwd to once I have a 1.8 lens or something.

[@JustinEspejo]

dude, this helped me SO MUCH. wow. thank you.

[@VictorLaforteza]

The legend himself! Haha Glad to hear dude!! Down to chat on IG if you have other questions!

[@JustinEspejo]

@@VictorLaforteza hahahaha cool of you to say! I was always scared of using slog, let alone slog3, but i‘ve been trying it for the past few days to face my fears and so far it‘s been going well surprsingly! Slog 3 on my zve10 too! I do however use a +20 on saturation. And im still a long ways to go on the actual coloring, but i‘m feeling pretty good! Haha!

[@JeremySry]

For SLOG3 settings - why do you set your exposure comp - then set an ISO after? Wouldn't you want the ISO on auto to make use of the exposure comp?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yes and no, with SLOG3 on sony APSC cameras, you really want to set it on the base ISO which is 500 to get the best dynamic range and the best image out of it (noise levels are crazy with these cameras once you go above the 500 ISO). The exposure comp is for the aperture only if you set the shoot mode on Shutter Priority Mode and set it to 1/50 (or double your frame rate), then the camera will be expose based on what exposure comp you set it to be. Good for run and gun filming and if you don't want to manually expose. If you shoot fully manual, then you have the exposure comp set to 1.3 already and if you need to set the ISO to auto, it will be automatically be exposing for that set value. Hope that makes sense! I guess I did leave out that I recommend shooting in shutter priority mode 🙃 any more questions, just ask! lol

[@JeremySry]

@@VictorLaforteza gotchaaa - thank you SO much for that! man, I just recently got back into filming, picked up the a74, trying to find the best run and gun settings - im torn between slog3 vs hlg3, which one do you find yourself using more for vlogs/run and gun?!

[@VictorLaforteza]

I think SLOG3 is easier on run and gun filming now on a7iv! You can easily expose 0 to +1 on the in camera meter. The noise floor is much better and it’s flexible with the 10 bit. No need to overexpose to +1.7 Turn on gamma display assist and you’re good to go!

[@worldwideweny]

Can you make a video on how you got super smooth video? Mine is always shaky with my zv-e10

[@VictorLaforteza]

Good idea! Essentially you can just tuck your arms to your side and hold the camera close to your chest and then move with your body not with your arms! Lens Optical Stabilization helps as well. And then add stabilization in your editing software. Hope that helps 🙌🏽

[@worldwideweny]

@@VictorLaforteza this was helpful! I’ll try it next time I film, thank you 😇

[@roryjlsmith]

hi mate, loved the video but came across one problem with the settings, you can't manually change the aperture when on shutter priority mode, if you have any way of changing the aperture manually with these settings, i am all ears, thanks.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yes, it works like that so you don't have to worry about it and let the camera decide for you! If you do want to control the aperture, switch the mode to manual shooting mode but you won't be able to change the multi metering to a certain value since it needs something on "auto". Hope that helps!

[@roryjlsmith]

​@@VictorLaforteza cheers mate, helps a lot, in your opinion, if i choose to shoot in manual mode, but follow all of your other instructions, will this drastically mess up my footage?

@@roryjlsmith it'll still be good as long as you're exposing to the right at +1.7!

[@abcjjjun]

Hello I've just found this video. Does the auto-focus work with the photo shutter button when you recording a video with manual focus mode?

[@maesl69]

I'm on the lookout for my first mirrorless camera, upgrading from a DSLR. Currently, I'm considering the Sony a6500 or ZV-E10 (any thoughts on using Catalyst Browse with the ZV-E10?). My budget is around 400-650€ for a used or refurbished model. I'd prefer to stick with Sony for the E-mount, but it's not a deal-breaker if I find a better option elsewhere. My usage is roughly 60% video and 40% photography. It's important to me that the camera has good software and mobile support. I also want it to shoot 4K or higher video with IBIS or gyroscope support and preferably in 10 bit. I'm planning to make the purchase around summer, so I'm open to waiting for new releases. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! One last thing: I want to exclude the GH5. I know it's a great camera for the price and can shoot in 10-bit, but the Micro 4/3 sensor and poor autofocus don't suit my type of content, if the GH5 is only option in this price segment, then i might as well just pick it up.

[@sharrizal824]

Hey bro, im comparing whether to get this or the FX30 to start off my content creation journey. I love your grading vibes and wanted to follow something similar. Should i go for ZV E10 and then upgrade to FX30 later? Or should i just go all the way to FX30? I used A7m3 previously for work few years back but already sold it. Now im starting all over again 😅

[@VictorLaforteza]

Hey dude! Are you gonna use it for work too? If so, the fx30 should last you for years!

[@CornerstoneWorshipTutorials]

Hi Victor, thank you for this very helpful video! I was wondering about when you said, "keep the ISO at 500." I understand going up will introduce lots of noise and "grain" to the image, but what about going down, like on a sunny day, going to 200, possibly 125, etc.? Thanks again for this helpful tutorial!

[@VictorLaforteza]

You’re welcome! To expand on the base ISO which is 500 on this camera on slog, it gives you the best possible image in terms of dynamic range and noise. Every camera and picture profile is different! Going down the ISO values is okay but you might see a degrade in performance. Not a whole lot but it matters in post production when you have to fully utilize the dynamic range of a camera. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions feel free to ask 🙌🏽

[@JoshuaImantaka]

I have a question, ever since doing this setting, i have occasional red tints on my footage. Do u know of any solution to this ? Thanks

[@VictorLaforteza]

They’re artifacts! It’s because the footage is a bit sensitive so you’d have to put more light in without it clipping. Can be fixed with decent exposure or color noise reduction in post

[@travellingironhat]

I know this is an 1 year old vid, but it answer some questions I got in my mind. You mention don't use PP in Low Light - perhaps it's worse of making this same explanation for settings, filming, colorgrading, ..... in a new Video? Thx for the explanation !

[@VictorLaforteza]

Low Light I would use another PP like cine2 or cine4 - I can't remember if HLG is a thing for the ZV-E10 but that's a good one as well. I don't have this camera anymore so I wont be able to make a new video :(

HLG3 for this camera

[@treythomas4968]

First off I loved the video and I’m really excited to try out slog 3 with my a6600! I do have a question. When I’m shooting in manual mode with the base iso of 500, I noticed that I can’t use exposure compensation unless iso is on auto and I currently don’t have a monitor capable of using false color. Am I suppose to manually over expose the image until it’s somewhere between 0.3 and 1.3 to get the proper exposure?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Sorry! I forgot to mention to put it on shutter priority mode at 1/50 :) that should activate exposure compensation!! Yes, it should be exposed to the right at 0.3 to 1.3. Always aim for higher value if you can do you have room in post and have cleaner shadows. I’d also like so recommend to test test test until you get the hang of it. Hope that helps!

[@sownandcollected]

Appreciate you clarifying this! Now what about when you are in bright light but want bokeh? I guess you just use a variable ND filter to make the aperture open wider again?

[@PalmRenders]

Would you recommend this camera for a beginner content creator who wants to upgrade from a camera that only shoots 1080p 60 fps? Or should I wait a while to save up for a ZVE1

Both are great cameras. You’ll get better longevity with the zv-e1 though as it’s gonna future proof you. It’ll depend on your budget. Keep in mind full frame lenses are more expensive too for the zv-e1

Can you explain why I want to shoot with slog3? I’m new to this, so a little info on that is appreciated. Is there another setting option other than slog3 - and why should I use slog3 (is it the best setting)?

[@VictorLaforteza]

It’s all about additional dynamic range and maximizing the best footage for thr ZV-E10. A lot of people don’t recommend it because it is hard to work with but if you know how to use it properly and edit, it gives you a waaaay better footage than other picture profiles Hope that helps!

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@cilginflix I don't know about that, did you see the sample footage I shot? looks great imo.

[@professionalpotato4764]

@@VictorLaforteza Just look at details of sample footage that you shoot and you'll see colours break easily, especially if you need to colour correct something. E.g. Just look at 0:54. The shirt colour is completely broken up. I never recommend log footage in 8 bit. Even flat profiles aren't advisable if it is too flat. The only way to use S-log in Sony cameras is Mark10's method where you bump saturation and colours in-camera. Because that way the camera can do all the processing internally before the final compression.

Hey Ralph! I would recommend trying out the fake S-Cinetone to match. It's quite close and it's easier to completely match in post. Another method I would recommend is using a color chart.

slog 2 looks better after coloring on 8bit

[@professionalpotato4764]

As a Disney editor, please stop telling people to shoot log on 8 bit cameras. 10 bit is the minimum requirement for log footage. Just look at 0:54. The shirt is broken up into so many purple blocky pixels. Or 1:16 where the boat colours are pixelated. The only way to use S-log on Sony 8bit cameras is to have the camera do processing internally. Mark10's method kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3ycdppsps50qLs& is better because that way the camera applies saturation, contrast, before the final compression.

[@VictorLaforteza]

I won't stop because it's completely doable. What you're looking at is so miniscule that only "editors" that look into the flaws would see in a big screen. We're not shooting movies or tv shows with a Sony APSC camera. We're shooting home made videos and paid or unpaid online content. You're always at the mercy of a platform's compression too. I've used 8 bit slog footage long before 10 bit was introduced to the a7siii and no paying client of mine has said anything about tiny pixels breaking down. Yes, it's tough and a beginner could easily break it apart but in the right guideline and testing, it's doable for everyone.
