Hello, when in Aperture Priority mode on my SONY A7RV, I set ISO AUTO and Minimum Shutter Speed, the camera does not comply with the selected value of min. shutter speed, and continues to determine it by itself. For example, if I set a minimum shutter speed 1/250, the camera shoots at 1/50, as it did before I set the 1/250. Do you have any idea why?
@andrewsaraceni Жыл бұрын
I think minimum shutter speed will be overridden by the camera and slower if it determines the exposure still can't be obtained with auto ISO (and the minimum you set).

Hi Andrew, thanks for the informative video. I purchased a new SonyA7R5 a couple of days ago. When I first switched the camera on, I noticed (in picture mode) I could lock focus, let go all buttons and the tracking would stay active as I move my shot around the scene. I made some changes like DRO off, Don't have AF with shutter etc and now for the life of me I cannot get the camera to lock in tracking mode. I have to HOLD down AF-ON to keep tracking when trying to capture and image (not in movive mode). I found you can assign a "tracking lock off" function to a button but this seems to do nothing and I cannot find a "tracking lok ON" function anywhere. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
@andrewsaraceni10 ай бұрын
Hard to tell without actually seeing your camera, but AF w/ Shutter is likely something you want on, and might be the difference. Otherwise, I would double-check your autofocus settings, and make sure you have the desired mode on (e.g. AF-C, AF-S) and also that your Subject Shift Sensitivity and Tracking Speed are set as expected.

@andrewsaraceni Жыл бұрын
Is this in photo or video, or both? I would double check to make sure you're not adding any sharpening (e.g. the Detail setting in whatever Picture Profile you're using), and also keep an eye on your export settings for photo in Lightroom, Photoshop, etc., to make sure sharpening isn't added. I'd expect less moire in APS-C mode, but really it should be mostly avoidable in Full Frame too other than the most extreme patterns.

I had the profile set to 11 like you said and had the sharpening set at 0 since i dont color correct or do anything except splice in post...lol. Guess I could lower it a bit more. Assuming im just splicing in post, is number 11 still the best profile or should I be on a different one? Thx. again!
