Mastering Sony AutoFocus

[@vero1197]

I just did the switch from Canon to Sony and I'm watching all your videos about camera setup, autofocus and lenses suggestion, they are all very helpful, Thank You!

[@angelevarcurioso8523]

He really is helpful, learned a lot.

[@pipeaudivisual8444]

I've just got my A6400 after of several months of saving money! And this channel (and series) are just what I need to learn and practice!!

[@TheMrCado]

I am currently using older Sony cameras.a5000 and a6000 simply cuz it's what I can afford currently however of all the videos I have watched about lenses and focusing and settings. Yours have been the most educational no nonsense and comprehensive for someone like myself who knows nothing about photography. Thank you for your approach and how u have made all aspects of photography make sense without convoluting the subject

[@madebyjovan]

Jason, I believe A7III has the tracking function too. Set Center Lock-on AF in Fn button. Start recording and turn it on and tap the screen on the subject you want to track. :) Hope it helps the rest of the A7III users out there.

[@JasonVong]

it does! unfortunately it doesnt work as well as the a9 and a6400

[@madebyjovan]

@@JasonVong Yeah :( But better than nothing I guess haha

[@mikerose4013]

Thanks for this, as this is also available on a7Riii

[@madebyjovan]

@@mikerose4013 No problem, Mike! Glad I'm able to help you :)

[@blakeeddleman7563]

Jason Vong Not arguing - just curious. Are there comparisons out there? Is there a drastic difference? I’ve only used A7 iii and A7r iii. Center lock-on has worked really well.

Hey Jason can you please reply to my question right beneath this message

[@JasonVong]

hey sharon, i did!

[@sharon2legit2quit]

Jason Vong hi Jason the af isn’t highlighted that’s why I can’t ignore it

[@karsynbackus]

My Sony a6400 just came in the mail today and I JUST opened it!! It’s charging and once it’s ready I’m going to rewatch your full setup video and this video :D so excited!

[@JasonVong]

congrats on the new camera!!

[@karsynbackus]

Jason Vong thank you! :) I love it so far but I definitely have a lot of learning to do!

[@yeaboy707]

This is maybe the best video you’ve ever made. Super helpful.

[@xhefriguitars7946]

You really are clear and concise in your presentation. And you move quickly without a lot of rambling. Much appreciated!

[@morispasic]

FYI: Sony firmware >v3 also adds the Tracking feature to A7 III and A7R III

[@huislaw]

Awesome, I was about to ask.

the c2 focus trick loving it

[@kathenamarie]

so grateful for every one of your videos! THANK YOU

[@kingfisher111]

Just bought A7iii and cant thank u enough

[@BangPhoto]

Always well done! This is one of those vids I can watch a couple times since nailing this Sony focus can be a bit complicated.

[@Jim_Mundy]

Wow, this was incredibly helpful. I have an A7iv but this is still so relevant. The focus modes section was exactly what I've been trying to understand. Thanks Jason!

[@irving7848]

Free lesson is a real deal sir Jason thanks more power.

[@rickthomas9278]

Jason, your vids got me off the "Auto" mode. Purchased A6400; Sony's autofocus ... best there is now I understand how to take full advantage of it! thank-you ! got a new subscriber buddy !

[@johnnybermudez]

After all these years still an amazing video. Thanks brother!

[@charlygoehl8874]

Jason, this is what I was looking for for more than 1 year. Your Tutorials are FANTASTIC. A BIG "Thank you" from Germany. Stay safe !!

[@andrewjenkins6846]

Great video. Quick, concise, and simple. My favorite Sony Reviewer! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JasonVong]

humbling to hear that, thank you thank you

とても素晴らしい 親切な説明です これからも動画楽しみにしてます。

That’s what I said! Lol jk, hi friend!

[@marcushembroff3303]

Was looking for a video like this for a minute now. Thank you. You explained everything so well. Looking forward to diving into more of your content.

[@divyangpatel8683]

Believe me I took 2 hours to complete this 6 minute video..thank you so much !

[@JasonVong]

Glad it helped!

[@534daro534]

Touch tracking is the most insane feature for me! I wish that my a6300 could have it!

[@skymakai]

Love it that you made the focus brackets orange. I can't wait until Sony does that!

[@JasonVong]

they technically did! haha I got it from my a7rII

[@erocmedia5959]

@@JasonVong I'm trying out the Zone Focus Area but am not seeing those orange brackets. Am I missing something?

[@dr.alexstyles3811]

thank u so much. This is the most imformative and clearly explained video of sony autofocus. i was really struggling with it, Thank u !!!

[@pablo98rubio]

thanks very easy to understand, everyone else makes it so complicated

[@sharonmama117]

Million thanks to Jason. Your video helps me a lot in using my new A6400.🙏🏻

[@JasonVong]

hope you're enjoying the a6400! :)

[@sharonmama117]

@@JasonVong Yes! I enjoy using it. Before using the 6400, I used Canon M50. Of course the M50 is much more easier to use. The low light performance of a6400 is much better. And the range of lenses also makes me happier. But of course, it spends me much more time to learn the Sony menu. (Oh! My God!) Anyway, thanks Jason from Hong Kong.

[@hirostvjapan]

Still in Japan? If you come to Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe please let me know. It will be awesome if we can meet in Japan.

[@JasonVong]

I was in Japan in April! But I will be back soon :)

[@hirostvjapan]

@@JasonVong Great! When you do come again hope that I can meet you in Japan. Next time please come to Kyoto you will able to take an awesome video for sure.

I just bought an upgrade Sony A7Rlll and you helped me understand a few more things. Thanks bro. Subscribing.

[@xhefriguitars7946]

Really like your clear presentations. You speak clearly and to the point. I have been using Sony a7 cameras for run and gun production, to compliment our bigger HD video cameras. Thanks for producing these videos.

[@squaresaucemedia]

You always have dope videos. Thanks

[@davethedaygames2899]

I don't know why I didn't find this channel sooner!

[@Voicewav]

Thanks Jason, Big help with this Sony focus walk through from 2019.

[@JamesRicarte]

Me first time owning A6400 and not knowing anything about old sony cameras, i thought the realtime tracking is the main AF sytem of sony. I was shock when i switch to 120p mode and the real time tracking is not available (I'm used to canon's dual pixel af which always have box to where it is focusing). It's funny because i choose the a6400 over the m50 bacause of the af even in 120fps, I thought i wasn't able to have Af in 120 lmao. Now i know that there is really a focus modes. I'm such a beginner Sony user lol, Thank you.

[@nakdaniels1199]

Helpful! got a shoot today and really needed these tips!

[@kevinherrera898]

nice trick about the center focus!! smart!

[@southbounddiaries]

Love your videos. Just purchased a a7riii and DJI RSC 2. I'll be throwing up some videos. Using your recommendations.

[@travelingcameraman89]

Hey Jason. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS. I learned SO MUCH in these few minutes vs countless other KZbinrs whom don’t explain the settings or even how to capture the composition. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@JasonVong]

humbling to hear that! glad you enjoy it!

[@prunesquallor3444]

Really good job with the live screen overlays! Not even sure how that's done, but man...super effective way of teaching!

[@regclayton3429]

Jason the way you explain tech info combined with stunning imagery to illustrate effects is inspiring. I recently invested in an A6400 and a couple of lenses and refer to your set up and operations guides often.. Much thanks to you and Vanessa. Piece!

[@fazex7252]

can you make a video showcasing how to shoot videos with the sigma 16mm 1.4 combined with the a6400 as their is no IBIS and no oss on the sigma!

I used a gimbal back when I was shooting with that combo in Hong Kong

[@shameelbacker8274]

Very useful and thank you jason for the wonderful explanation.

[@AndreRees]

4:30 is a great tip. like your videos alot. for me withA9 I use touch tracking and go behind the tree then back out and if i do it fast enough it doesn't lose focus. but this is a great idea

[@JasonVong]

awesome! Glad this helped! :)

[@Singhbansa]

Good job Jason, loving your series

[@JasonVong]

thank you

[@markjbm]

I'm definitely going to use the AF/MF toggle more often when shooting video. As always, great video and thanks for doing these tutorials! Can't wait to watch the rest.

[@dennythebudgie]

I learned so much! Thank you! ♡

[@ChessGrandmaster]

Best best best best!!!! Video. Thank you Sir! Now I understand.

[@HandmadeGallery]

please make video for Sony A74

[@534A53]

You should be teaching people to use back button focus method which is way more efficient and faster than toggling the AF/MF on and off.
