Sony A6500 - Sony 24mm f/1,8 - LOW LIGHT TEST - AMAZING CITY FOOTAGE

[@TexpatOTG]

The low light images are so nice, it looks like it was shot on a movie set with controlled lighting. Good job!

[@richardpcrowe]

Amazing quality from this tiny camera in the hands of an expert photographer....

[@peenicebitter455]

pleasee make a video how to get this setting !! iam really confuse and frustrated with my a6500 sigma 30mm 1.4..

[@naturesoundsaustralia]

THAT was beautifully shot, thank you.... Have been searching for a better low light camera and I think you just sold me.

[@d415izmyne]

One thing im starting to notice is at night people arent following the cinematic shutter speed rule, 24fps = 1/50shutter speed and still getting great video.

[@volumelux253]

d415izmyne exacly. One little trick to get that extra stop of light. This only works with slow moving shots tho. As the motion blur would be to much for fast moving action.

[@hieuvu4182]

so freaking beautiful. Can't even believe that I have the same camera, yet can not ever produce image that good in low light condition

[@Applewood]

What lens do you use?

[@hieuvu4182]

@@Applewood I mainly use sigma 30mm f1.4

[@Applewood]

Hieu Vu 1. film in Slog2 2. Turn on Gamma Display Assist 3. Overexpose by about 1 or two stops 4. Use the latest LUTs

[@hieuvu4182]

@@Applewood well, that's exactly what I do, minus the latest LUTs part since I have no idea what LUTs you are talking about. my problem is: the footage is always too flat for me, pumping up Saturation to the maximum and the footage still looks somehow flat and unnatural. Sometimes I have to add an extra Lumetri Color effect just to raise the Saturation a bit more I don't know if it was a mistake during shooting or color grading, but most of the youtubers I watch only need one Lumetri Color effect to fix the color

[@peenicebitter455]

could u make a video tutorial how to get this setting !!

[@gphiproductions]

Wow! Very clear image that this lens provides! Nice!

[@cweb1988]

how in the world is there no noise when the iso that high?

[@volumelux253]

cweb1988 overexpose S-Log2 with +2 stops is the trick! S-log2 is clipping at 107%. So set your zebras to 107% and expose just under clipping.

[@michaelfrymus]

Isnt S-Log 3 better though?

[@brynleysadler5383]

It’d be great if you did a walkthrough tutorial on how you did these settings?

[@balldayeveryday640]

@@volumelux253 What do you mean by +2 stops?

[@mikedrader]

Awesum vid!! Thanks dude, I think I'll make this my next lens. Your color grading was awesome too!!

[@AndreiVaida]

Very good composition, great colors and i can't see any noise ! What music did you used ?

[@streetsofantwerp5070]

This is great. Best lowlight tip so far! Thanks

[@DoJoStan]

This looks so amazing.

[@PinkstonFilms]

Damn, this video was shot completely against the grain, yet it turned out awesome. Now you got me rethinking my low light concert footage I take, I might try these settings to see how it would look!!!

[@artpablo8105]

So good! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Pankaj_Patel_Canada]

Great video! Which software/Application used to make this video?

[@sufyaandollie3257]

Love and respect!

[@andrewfreeman88]

Was this shot at 60p? I think 24P would be more cinematic, great video btw!

[@volumelux253]

This is actually 25p footage. What you are seeing is the increased motion blur. It was shot with 1/30 shutter speed to increase lowlight performance.

[@andrewfreeman88]

@@volumelux253 Oh, I didn't notice much blurr at all..it was the sharpness and movement that I thought was 60P or 30P..

[@luis_fntx4449]

Nice footage overall! Do you still have the ungraded Slog footage? Maybe I could use it to practise my Grading skills.

[@PriscillaGomez]

very nice but have you been able to achieve same quality when shooting at 60fps and 120fps? i find that impossible but if you have any pointers for that please let us know! thanks

[@TheFoxtrotfenris]

VolumeLux, what are your exact picture profile settings in the entire menu? I'd love to know.

[@MMSaabChannel]

Otroligt att man kan filma så himla snyggt när det är så mörkt 😍

[@DynamicLearning4u]

Amazing sharpness!

[@neptunerecords2872]

Hello! I want to buy a video for my a6500! Like he? Is it good

[@joonajks]

Is this lens great for recording talking head KZbin videos with nice bokeh your opinion?

[@samsargdong1135]

Hi,thanks for the nice video . I may buy this lens this evening. Bye!

[@HusseinKefel]

Thanks for this video well done. I have a request if possible Can you please test the new Sony a6400 in low light thanks

[@florianrueger]

Amazing quality. I got this lens recently and love it it's super sharp even fully open - at least when it grabs focus correctly. My a6300 has a lot of problems on any non static subject/object to not screw up focus. Did you experience similar issues?

[@joonajks]

Are you still happy with your sony zeiss 24mm 1.8? Is this lens great for recording talking head KZbin videos in your opinion? I just purchase a use the Sony a6300!!

[@florianrueger]

@@joonajks Congrats! Great camera even in 2021. Yes I'm still happy with it. I shot my latest cinematic completely on the Zeiss. Check it out if you like. Still double checking focus every now and then. 😅 For a talking head scenario a 24mm*1.5 crop > 35mm is a solid choice but consider the sigma 16mm > 24mm.

[@joonajks]

@@florianrueger okay thank you!

[@juliandurchholz]

Background music?

[@thimestudio779]

Hi ! Great work! The picture quality is just... amazing! I'm a little perturbated with the SLog2 settings on the 6300/6500 series (mine is a 6500 model) because I shot some videos at 12800 without any noise and, yesterday, I reinitialized the settings and shot some videos at 6400 iso... and the image is terrificly noisy! Could you tell us what are the advanced settings which you applied on the Slog2 profile ? And by the way the DRO/HDR settings, supposing they have an incidence on the result. Thanks by advance :-)

[@volumelux253]

ThimeStudio i've had this problem to. I think you are not over exposing enough. There seem to be some middle where Its to noisy to use and grade doesnt fix it. But IF you overexpose more you can fix it with grade..! Try it out!

[@thimestudio779]

Thanks a lot VolumeLux. I'll try as soon as possible. Just one last question, can you just tell me if, on the ungraded shots of this video, you've had much noise ?

Hi there 4k at low light is amazing but a lot of users are complaining about 1080p and they say that it is soft. I never used Sony and i am about to buy A6600. If so, i will get XT-4. I really appreciate if you answer my question. Thanks.

[@artpablo8105]

Yes from the reviews I have read about the a6500, the 1080p is quite soft and far behind the competitors.

[@delgadonyc]

Great video. What mode of auto focus are you one? I’m having a hard time with this lens in lowlight and with auto focus on zone or flexible. Thanks!

[@florianrueger]

Yeah, same here! One thing I found so far is setting focus mode to center and - if you have a person - enabling face detection really helps.

[@JESSROCKEDChannel]

did you use noise reduction program?

[@gustavorosa2844]

Thats a great video mate. I usually shoot at Cine4, have you tried it with the same settings at similar low light conditions? The reason that you have shoot at 1/30 shutter means that is +2 exposed? Once it was clipping at 107% when you had 1/50, right? Or it was for a different reason? Have you used any denoise such as NeatVideo? Thanks ;)

[@volumelux253]

Gustavo Nascimento i have heard that Color correcting holds up better using Cine4. Will try that at some point. I Could have gotten +2 exposure with more ISO or opening up the lens more. But No lens is super sharp full open so i sticked with 2.8 and had the shutter at 1/30 to get more light in! The motion blur is not to noticable because of the slow movement and lack of change frame to frame. Would not be usable in real world. No de noise plugin was Used! Only post action was color correction and grade!

[@gustavorosa2844]

Thanks for the answer mate, I got your point. I didn't realize before that you were at 2.8, It's 1/8 on the video title, but it's just about the lens itself. Appreciate that ;)

[@jost2404]

But how u overexpose this ? Just getting the aperture right at f4.0 and then film with the same iso and shutter speed at f2.8 ?

[@danvranic2306]

What are your export settings? and NLE?

[@volumelux253]

Dan Vranic premiere Pro. Vimeo 4K preset

[@jzkng2]

For such high ISO theres little noise, I have found a lot of my 1080p footage to be often too noisy to use

[@BenHopperVisuals]

Jaz King over expose so shadows aren’t noisy

[@michaelfrymus]

I know! I have a bunch of shots in slow motion in 1080p and they are just garbage. It was only 3200iso too. If it was that noisy with only a 3200 ISO, in Cine 4, I was worried it would be even worse with S-LOG3 especially when overexposing

[@AlefHeykhal]

Michael Frymus so how do you overcome that problem? i’m having the same problem

[@shooooota]

Riktigt snyggt! Hur fick du den så kontrastrik och klar? kör du LUTs?

[@ayeshaibrahimbakkar5961]

Can i have this LUT bro? It'll be really helpful 😔

[@FathanDrone]

its 4k resolution or full hd ??

[@SKStudioVideo]

I dont think it is the camera.... was it recorded internal?

[@MichalStejskal]

Great quality :)

[@Ivan-nq7kj]

Can i have this LUT bro? It'll be really helpful.

[@volumelux253]

I can sell you my LUT I used for this grade. Send me an email on [e-mail]

[@PeterAlhussein]

the shutter speed of 1/30 doesnt make sense here, the video wouldve been too choppy. Weird, can someone explain?

[@volumelux253]

If the shutter speed is slower it's more blurry and "smooth". Dreamy wibe if you will. If you go below your shooting FPS it will be choppy. But not at the same or more.

[@xXTrickLeagueXx]

Dags o satsa som filmfotograf ?

[@Furstset]

Can you show me how this is done? or tell me? I even get noise when Im shooting at bright daylight...XAVC S HD, 120p 100M, I have slog 2 and exposure comp. always at +2(can't go higher somehow?)

[@volumelux253]

Whats your glass and your settings? Try lowering the Aperture to set exposure and set ISO to 200 or 400. Also. Don't shoot in 120p. The 120p in the A6300 or 6500 is very soft and unusable. If you shoot in 24p you can have your shutter at 1/50th to save light.

[@Furstset]

Thanks for the reply. Im shooting with the sigma 30mm 1.4. In Slog 2 the minimum iso is 800 right? so can't put that to 200. And that makes sense! will try to do it in 60fps then!

[@volumelux253]

I dont think the 6500 can do 60p in 4K. Do 30p and you can slowdown to 24 if needed. You always need to set shutter speed to twice what framerate you choose. And the faster shutter speed the less light you get. So do 24p / 1/50 to get as bright as possible. Also avoid going down as far as 1.4 on your lens. Often the image gets very soft at that low aperture and the focus hard to control. Try leaving it at 2 - 2.8.

[@Furstset]

oh no, Im only filming full HD. but the slowmotion is crucial for me. I prefer to shoot everything in 120fps but you think thats the major reason of the noise? and yes. I always use 120fps > 250 frame rate.

[@volumelux253]

That could very much be the case. Slowmotion in lower light is really hard. And this camera really stinks with slowmotion sadly. One of the cons of the camera. I wish it had 60 or 120p in 4K.

[@davidgld]

Awesome!!!!!

[@herb0321]

This is dope af bro I got the a6000 myself and I'm a big fan of the 24mm combo. I'm more into taking still but this video is tempting me to experiment with videography more.

[@jmateo55]

BRAVO!!!

[@VilkanVisions]

Awesome work, I really love that focal lenght, too bad that this lens is so expensive :/

[@antonisdavis2288]

hallo! i have the 24mm f1,8 zeiss sony and on my a6500 the function AF track speed is not working, says ‘invalid with this lens’. can you help? thanks!

[@imnmediakc8533]

It wasn't this exact lens but a friend of mine had some lenses that were giving that message and were sony lenses. It was because he needed to update his lenses. Make sure you have the lastest firmware on your lens. Hope this helps, happy shooting!

[@PredzPlays]

So nicee

agreed

[@orion2250]

Post process the shit out of any footage and you get footage like this

[@tayloralexander4332]

he used a 360 degree shutter (1/30 on 30fps video) so the motion blur is greater than the usual 180 degree
