Really loving this new style of tutorials! Hope your videos get lots of views, because this is really great and helpful stuff.

[@RY4Nnn.]

Thank you for continuing with videos pierre!

[@elmonijhoff1627]

Very informative! Love the video, I can see you are having fun making it

[@sweetblueman]

Very useful. Thanks

[@JasonPierceOfficial]

Love the new studio set up, great production brother!

[@Pierretlambert]

Appreciate it! :)

[@bastienhuet656]

Wow thank you Pierre! I have always wondered why my camera was taking so long to process my long exposure photos, it was so frustrating! Turning off that long exposure NR setting now 🙂

I'm really enjoying your communication style and demeanor here of late. It looks and feels like you've gone thru your personal re-evaluation and made some great strides. Enjoy this season and be ready to do it again; the next time you start feeling the need. You're stronger for going thru the process. Now, just be wise about what tools you use to evaluate where you are. I'm sure from a business standpoint "likes" are important to you, but in the end you have to be comfortable and confident with who you are and your content. Thanks again for your work!

[@Pierretlambert]

Thank you Rob for the kind words! :-) Yes it seems like a good evolution following also my own personal transformation over years...!

Just adding to the great cause man because nobody talks about the notions and balances of this so just piggybacking some good stuff with ya. 1. Need Raw but need to save space? shoot compressed raw. 2. For us hybrid shooters for grids, Extend that by adding the 2:35:1 grid so you have the aspect ratio for those who like bars. Turn it on for video too 3. What he said, nothing to add to it lol 4. Video peeps, you already know better, manual! I know times have changed so for us paid shooters you pick the time to do so, never rely on AF in video. Just general talking here I every so often use AF like on my viltrox 20mm, excellent AF but sometimes the camera just unlocks itself for the hell of it if I turn my head just once! not even the lens fault lol .... ..... Bonus: Silent shooting is good, try to stay at your technical PAL/NTSC freq range 50/60 speed to whatever limit. So like my homeslice Pierre will be at 1/50 so he will be 50, 100,150,200,250...etc For us US folks. we're 60, 120, 180/200, maybe 250, 320...etc+. I have not experienced banding shooting silent mode UNLESS there's poor quality LED lighting with incorrect frequency and/or I'm not within my freq range, TOO HIGH of a shutter where your shutter speed is faster than the ac freq... OR just piss poor builder grade lighting with mixed everything altogether. Always run a test shot or two and zoom in on your darks to check for banding before you officially start shooting and do what he said, turn on anti-flickering.

Just wanted to say Hi! been following you long time and you always put out good videos! Keep up the good work!

[@jordanking7711]

Excellent information Pierre. Especially the file format one in the first tip. For me personally, I shoot in RAW/DNG+JPEG. Why? Because yeah, while I might not want to edit it 'right now', what happens if I want to edit it down the road for someone? At least I have the RAW/DNG file there as a backup. Yes it takes up a lot of space on your memory card, but depending on your shoot and the size of your shoot, assuming your editing your photos right away or transferring your images to your computer or drive right away, you would be formatting your memory card in your camera (NOT on the computer) right after, which you should be doing after every shoot anyway. Also, whether you do it in camera (if it will let you), or do it in post, convert your JPEG files, to TIFF. Because from my understanding, although their file sizes are bigger than JPEG, they are similar to RAW files and relatively lossless. Because there is a danger that every time you open a JPEG file, you lose information each time. Whereas I believe you don't have that problem with a TIFF.

[@22IDOWILIER]

Really helpful...thank you Pierre 👍

[@s.j.stuart]

Focus peaking is one I would add. Particularly if using MF or DMF focusing.

[@gil08100]

С превеликим удовольствием смотрю ваши видео! Моё почтение, Pierre!🎩

[@falseusername]

In Sony cameras it is extremely important to put frequently used settings in favorites, otherwise it can be difficult to find them at the right time. "God bless" those, who made a menu so complicated and illogical :)

[@Pierretlambert]

Great tip!

[@angelevarcurioso8523]

I don't understand this. I own a7iv but I really find it easy to navigate. I don't know if it's just me.

[@JaredDoyle76]

@@angelevarcurioso8523agreed. I’ve used older Sony bodies with the older menu system and also have the A7IV with the new menu system. I never understood why people complained about the old menu system. Like anything, use it enough and it becomes muscle memory. The favorites menu is handy, and I use it for speed, not because I can’t remember where to find those settings.

[@JaredDoyle76]

The Fn menu on Sony bodies is great to supplement the “Favorite” menu, since it doesn’t take the EVF out of the live display.

[@falseusername]

@@angelevarcurioso8523 maybe IV have more easy meny, i'm using III for now.

[@itst0000]

i dont have long exposure NR just NR and shoot raw. not sure if thats issue

[@MartynasRphotography]

When is the next trip? love the content and the photos

[@Pierretlambert]

In a few days!

[@jeremibren5565]

Piere U awesome 👍 thanks for the tips

[@joejohnsonjr6417]

Gm just join your channel I shoot with a 70D cannon camera want to take sharper pictures do you have a setting sheet for this camper thanks in advance

[@m_agatek]

Hi Pierre! I haven't been here for a while. Great video not only for beginers :)

[@L.L2377]

Coming from analog, Thank you so very much, Im now understanding my camera, thanks to you.

[@chriswittstruck282]

Nice vid thanks! Subbed.

[@PracticingPhotography]

How about set up your favorite settings on a custom button to have a quick option to find that setting.

[@Pierretlambert]

Yes good one too! I usually set the My Menu with the most used

[@spteoh6962]

Great video, the focus area is a big take away for me. I always thought spot focus will disable face/eye detection. (from the dslr experience) Really appreciate your time to put them together ❤

[@AyrBlues]

What does silent mode have to do with banding? Was that clip meant for an earlier slot? Camera settings are difficult enough without you throwing something like this into the mix. Oh, and it would help if you could slow things down a bit so that I don't have to keep going back. Having said all that, thanks for your generally informative videos. 😊

[@ColdCoffeePhotography]

Good solid tips, tip 6 especially bugs me when some youtubers do a whole video with it still on!

[@BEREKETTube421]

Thanks bro

[@Pierretlambert]

Welcome

[@richardfoo1770]

Where can I buy your lut?

Hey Richard. Here: shop.pierretlambert.com/products/street-lut-pack-i :)

[@seaeagles6025]

Hi Pierre, I found this video very beneficial as I had Noise Reduction ON when doing long exposures. Especially Fireworks I miss a lot of good shots as it takes to long between shots. The Mechanical Shutter is another one I have to change, sometimes when shooting A nice Sport Car I have those distracting Headlights. I do like the Zebra Display. These small changes will make a big difference to the end result of my image. Thanks heaps Pierre that was Gnarly. 😊

[@seaeagles6025]

Thanks Pierre 😊

[@talesoftrilok]

What lens is that

[@caskraker]

When using Back Button AF there is no use case for S AF. Set it to C AF, press the button once and you have SAF, keep pressing it and it is CAF.

[@MartynasRphotography]

wow

[@MartynasRphotography]

Please use sony a6000 its gonna be hard but its a challenge. 😭😭

[@tricamel]

Exposure lock on the AEL button.... mine did not have this enabled by default. Zoom in on c3 for fine focus. ... and I swap shutter speed and aperture.... to confuse ppl who say they know Sony inside out 😅

[@Peterogen]

❤❤

[@mtmccornack]

I had to pause the video to see if my beeps were activated or not.... but don't fret. My camera is set to silent except for the actualization.

[@BestBreadEU]

The only thing I don't like is zebras; I find them extremely distracting.

[@Pierretlambert]

Yeah it seems like it is love it or hate for many :)

[@Kframevideo]

Rly? Its basics 🤦‍♂️

[@walydna0405]

Color/Picture Profile need to change too
