Jason I have referred to your video at least 2 dozen times...funny if you don't use these cameras constantly (I'm just a hobbiest photographer) you forget..if you are starting from zero these cameras can be a challenge..You have done the best job of showing how work the memory or quick function keys. When I started I had missed the dial control features and the relationship to the function keys. You and Tony Northrup are my favourites for how to tutorials...thanks a lot and continued success....

Jason... "THANK YOU SO MUCH" for this video. As a hobby camera shooter, I found your video very useful. I just bought a Sony A7R3, and the setup has so many features, that sometimes I was getting confused. You took your time explaining as you went along in the setup process that you made it very easy for shooters like me to understand what each feature meant. Yes, it was long, but I watched from beginning to end. Yes it was long but for me it was a "MUST WATCH" video. You are the best. Keep these videos coming, because it does help people like me to make shooting with a professional camera body so much easier to use. Again thanks.

Jason Vong 2 Quick Questions: 1. It's been known that older Sony cameras had problems with noise in the shadows when using S-Log. How does the A7III deal with this, since overall it is better in low light? 2. What about HLG? I personally switch between S-Log in bight outdoors and Cine4 indoors. Can HLG be a good middle ground between these two?
@JasonVong6 жыл бұрын
1. Did you overexpose by 2 stops? Sometimes you need to expose more to the right to avoid the noise in the shadow. Just have to gauge the highlight and make sure that's not blown out. 2. I still have to mess with HLG a bit! Will make a followup video
