Hi, glad you enjoyed the video and we hope you continue to enjoy our content in the future! ^Karim

[@eliostamm7393]

Very nice but please upload this in 4k. 1080p quality on KZbin is not showing us the real quality of this film.

[@ReddPursuit]

I love this camera. It has an intimate and vintage feel to it. It feels like a story camera!

[@SonyEuro]

Hey, glad that you like it 😌❤️^Maryam

[@gyasiman]

Keep coming back to this for inspiration. So well done

[@KAMFilmes]

Wowww the image was already very sharp in 1080 and I think it so cool in 4K! I really enjoyed the dynamic range this camera!

[@SonyEuro]

Hi KAMFilmes, we're glad you like it and hope you get to work with one pretty soon! ^Fadi

@@SonyEuro Recorded in raw? Which lenses? What is the setup?

[@dimllc]

Beautiful low light scenes.

[@bodacinema]

Beautiful pictures. In which codec was it recorded? When using cinetone mode, can it also be recorded in slog-3 or are they different formats? Thanks in advance for the answer. Great product!

[@onyekachinwaturuocha6007]

What lens did you shoot this with? The clip is beautiful.

Beautiful! I wonder if any filters (ND/Promist) were used on the lens and what LUT she used for color grading.

[@thaiwatchdog]

The color is impressive. Can you share what lens and light setup (if any) were used for this?

[@SonyEuro]

Hi, an intverview video has been created to explain the lens and light set up used. You can see in her interview that she only uses the 24mm F1.4 G Master lens (SEL24F14GM). In terms of lighting, in the interview she states: "At night, I pushed to ISO 640 as I only had one light source (the fire where we had a China-ball to reinforce it) and I did not notice any noise in the image". This video is featured on our European Sony Alpha Universe website, and you can find it here: bit.ly/2OzUJlC. ^Seif

[@thaiwatchdog]

@@SonyEuro read the interview. Good stuff. You should have BTS of the shoot also IMO

[@SonyEuro]

Hi, we have added your feedback for future consideration. ^Seif

[@mediaGify]

why only 1080p ????

[@6Four6Films]

Looks great. Anyone know what lens was used?

[@SonyEuro]

Hi, thank you for reaching out. The featured product in this video is the ILME-FX3 camera and the SEL24F14GM lens. If you want to know more about the lens, you can check this link: cutt.ly/Q2A6q80.

Im sure they avoid use the slog thing 😂 thats why quality looks better

[@SanjaySchulz]

I am glad you are enjoying yourself promoting this camera, however I am going to let your audience know how angry a growing number of current customers feel about this FX line: For many years the Sony A7S (sensitivity) line was the camera for VIDEO centric shooters wile the A7R (resolution) is aimed at photographers and the A7 line caters towards hybrid shooters. The A7SII needed a successor badly and finally after 5 years the A7SIII was released in 2020 and myself as well as many other filmmakers bought this camera. However,just 4 months later out of nowhere you guys released the FX3 also for video shooters with the exact same sensor and exact sama processor and just because this camera falls under the FX line you guys have been treating the FX3 as the "true" camera for video shooters and releasing firmware updates to give it many additional software features while completely abandoning all the people who bought the A7SIII. In 2.5 years you guys released exactly ONE additional feature for the A7SIII in the form of the S-Cinetone profile and literally nothing else besides "stability" updates. This is a camera that costs $3500. The many customers who wanted a video centric camera and already purchased the A7SIII now have to decide to either sell their superfluous cameras at a big loss just to get Sony's "true" consumer video camera for the same (body) price or continue to watch their A7SIIIs become more and more obsolete. I know you are focused on cranking out new bodies so I am not going to waste my time waiting on you treating your A7S customers right. I just hope your potential customers read this message to let them know about your record of customer abandonment.

[@SonyEuro]

Hi Sanjay, thank you for your honest opinion. However, we would like to highlight that every line up got their own successors depending on the line up. And for the ILCE-7SM3 it got an update a few months ago and in that link you can check the new and previous improvements, check this link: cutt.ly/S0fjPov. ^Sawy

[@SanjaySchulz]

@@SonyEuro The update you are referring to is nothing more than a "stability" update. Compare that to the level of support the FX3 received with the 2.0 update that added a long list of new features.

[@SonyEuro]

Hi Sanjay, and we cannot compare the ILCE-7SM3 to the ILME-FX3 as they're 2 completely different cameras, while the ILCE-7SM3 is geared towards sensitivity with some pro video features, not a full on Cinema Line Full-frame camera such as the ILME-FX3. ^Sawy

[@SanjaySchulz]

@@SonyEuro Thank you for your time. The specs show that both cameras have the same sensor and processor. Therefore, the A7SIII is perfectly capable of receiving the same software features that the FX3 has been receiving. To further proof this point, the FX30 with a smaller APS-C sensor has the same FX3 software features of the 2.0 update and even additional ones like breathing compensation. It is clear that Sony doesn't support the A7SIII with software updates as they do for the FX3 that came out just 4 months later which is the sole point of my post. Your Sony ambassadors like Philipp Bloom released dedicated videos for the same issue. Again, thank you for at least reading and responding to your customers comments.

[@SonyEuro]

Hi Sanjay, having the same sensor doesn't mean that the 2 units can support the same software/hardware features and capabilities especially if both units were geared towards to different groups since they were being developed. However, rest assured, we'll pass your feedback to the relevant channels for future consideration and development. ^Sawy

Half the batle is the camera. The other half is the lens, one more half is the color grading, and the final half is the editing.

i kind of read the tech demo as an invisible bond between sisters that reveals itself in moments of communion against their daytime (but internally lowlight) high contrast lives but your read def has a point as well. but the fact i can even ask a genuine question about a tech demo is a good sign, lol 🌲🌲🌲🌲

I'm a total newb, but I would love help in understanding why this video looks anamorphic (wide screen), but was shot with a spherical lens? Was it just a crop in post editing, or is it an option setup in the camera itself while shooting?

[@raksh9]

Looks like a crop in post. This camera doesn't crop like this in the files.
