32:34 I'm sure Lossless is the full data, and compressed is the smaller file size with some (barely noticeable) loss in quality.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

UGH - you're right - I am used to the Sony cameras having Uncompressed Raw in that slot so I read and spoke without thinking. I usually shoot UNCOMPRESSED Raw on the other cameras - on this one I would shoot Lossless Compressed for sure.

[@banditalley9592]

What a great vid. I bought the A6700 last Saturday after a long break from photography on an impulse buy, when I saw two short KZbin reviews. But I never expected it to be the beast this video is showing it to be. Things have certainly moved on from the Nikon D300 days. Even though that is still an awesome camera. Good work. 👍

[@timgurr1876]

Great review but fast. Of course, those that actually purchase the a6700 will find this video helpful in the future (even for referencing settings that become fuzzy (for those of us having senior moments)). I’m going to wait for the a7C update before deciding whether to replace my a6500 (or not). Just wondering if the none S-log video recordings are any better on the a6700 than the a6500 regarding the processing of updating individual frames during recording. As I recall, the a6500 updates the entire frame every 24 frames (set a 24 frames/sec). That tends to be the most focused frame every 1 second.

[@AprilClayton]

The viewfinder is way nicer than expected on A6700. I wish the stills/movie/S&Q switch was smoother like on ZVE1. Is there an option for a red record box on A6700? If not, it would be a nice update. I also love a zoom rocker. ZVE1 is beautiful in low light with the full sensor. A ZVE10 mark 2 will be amazing if it ever comes. A ZVE1 in an affordable APSC body would be well received.

Can you do another over heating video in real world conditions, I need to see how good it handles it. because I’m deciding between this and the fx30

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the fx30 will be much better for heat. the a6700 is good - but it does overheat depending on how long you shoot and how warm it is. if you’re concerned at all about overheating - get the fx30

[@andrewsaraceni]

Nicely covered! Didn't realize the a6700 didn't include Uncompressed RAW, which isn't a big deal considering how good /Lossless Compressed RAW is anyway. I am surprised Sony removed PP7-9 instead of keeping them, or reducing the numbering to 1-8. I guess it'll keep things more consistent between cameras, e.g. S-Cinetone always being PP11, but would leaving them really have been an issue?

[@niceguyschool]

A travel day for me, but I will be watching later. I don't see mention of video capture dimensions in the time stamps. I'm not even sure of the actual name, but some have called it 'open gate'. Can you capture video in 4:3 (or others) and use more of the sensor, so you can crop what you need later (16x9 AND 9x16)? The idea of capturing more, so you can use the same footage for regular video and shorts, sounds useful.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

No, the aspect ratio is set to 16:9 for video - for vertical content (9:16) you turn the camera - but there is no open gate or different aspect ratios in video.

[@niceguyschool]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks for the quick reply. This camera sounds amazing, but the broader aspect ratio is sounding really useful for shorts. How do you handle shorts?

Hi Marc, thank you so much for your reviews! Can I ask why the a6700 has the worst noise performance, by far, out of every other sony camera you've tested? Is it because they got rid of the multi-frame noise reduction mode that was present in all other cameras? Thanks!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it’s the same with the fx30 (which shares the sensor). Sony seems to have used much less aggressive noise reduction with those two cameras. You can reduce the noise yourself if you want, but it’s not baked in. I believe they did this because the fx30 is in their cinema line, and people who shoot the cinema cameras don’t like noise reduction baked in as it softens the image and they want to control the level of noise reduction themselves.

[@MoreData-hz8hm]

Ohh ok... Apologies for seeing this (and your other reply to my other comment on another video) just now... Can I ask if Sony allows you to do noise reduction with settings WITHIN the camera body (on the a6700)? Or, are you forced to do all noise reduction OUTSIDE of the camera, after filming, in Lightroom/davinci/etc? Thank you so much and I really love your videos!

So for the Leeming LUT. Do you have to follow his camera setup instructions, or do you just load the LUT and select it under Exposure > Color/Tone in the camera? I followed his instructions to set the camera up, but the LUT defaults to the s709 LUT because I'm shooting in LOG. "This operation or setting not availabe as follows: Log Shooting"

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you would have to add the .cube file to an SD card and load the LUT onto the User LUTS on the camera then select that one. But that is only for viewing - you still need to apply the LUT in post. The SLOG3 default is the same as his setup - SLOG3 with S-gamut.cine. But you can go ahead and set it to a picture profile like PP1 and then turn off log shooting and it will still shoot in SLOG3.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you can set custom mores 1,2,3 to anything you want. out of the box they are setup a certain way. but put your camera in M, adjust all the setting you want go into the menu, go to the Shooting (pic of the camera or video camera if in movie mode) Click on shooting mode and then Camera Set. Memory. choose 1, 2, or 3 to set it to the corresponding number on the dial. when you click it, it will say “Registered” now all of those settings are saved to the dial number you chose.

Mark! If I import Leeming Lut onto my Sony camera and film with Slog3, do I expose my skin at 70 zebras or 85? Also, do you snap a white balance to an 18% grey card when using Leeming Lut?

Thanks for your great video!!! Since I'm having issues with my 6700 overheating (~10min in 4k60, under 1 hour in 4k30 @24°C), what are your correct video settings for testing 4k24, 4k30 and 4k60 runtime? In my tests, I recorded 4:2:2 10-bit in XAVC S instead of XAVC HS in the hope that S would require less computing power and thus the heat generated by the processors would be lower.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I did 4k24 10-bit 4.2.2 10-bit XAVC HS. internal temp set to high (a must) screen open and on a tripod at 22 degrees. if you Clare connected to hdmi, you will see shorter times as well

[@surenflute]

On your very first video you have posted 4k 60 fps NO OVERHEATING!!! I have just tested mine twice. On a tripod ( same as yours f38 😂) screen open, 23* C in a room. I got only 13 min. I know you gonna mention that Gerarld Undone got the same numbers as yours. Do you guys have “special custom” products for reviews ? Not good at all

[@neutrinostorm]

Thanks, I've had the exact same experience. 24°C, 4k60 8-12 min depending on how long I played in the menus beforehand or even took a photo. The maximum runtime in 4k60 from a completely cold state was 22 minutes. Since Gerald Undone and you had similarly long runtimes and even my ZV-E10 right next to the 6700 under 4k30 didn't even switch off after 2 batteries, I sent the 6700 back and hope that the next 6700 will perform better. It can't be that a ZV-E10 beats a 6700 under identical conditions!!! It would be a shame if Sony sent you pre-testers preselected cameras and then delivered cheaper models to the customer, which of course are not guaranteed because they didn't mention the runtimes in the specifications.

[@neutrinostorm]

Well, the second a6700 arrived yesterday and was allowed to warm up today at a room temperature of 21.5°C. in the first 4k60p test (4:2:2 200m, human object detection, M mode, child filmed building Lego - no static image, Tamron 18-300, display folded down). Freshly switched on and started the race with 90% battery, this model showed a completely different, much flatter warm-up curve than my first model. To my astonishment, I stopped the test at 5% battery - NO overheating shutdown - AFTER 106 minutes of recording (~57 °C hot spot body temperature, measured 2.5 cm below the flash shoe in the screen housing recess) !!! So there are definitely big differences on the manufacturer's side and the reviewers' test copies are not preselected versions!

My arrive today and is overheating too 😞 hopefully shop can replace it

[@Heli4213]

Can you talk a little bit about setting up " Back button focus " and how to use it???

[@Lana.USA.]

I have my a6600 , and is mainly using it for still photos. I am not into video)). Does it makes sense to upgrade to a6700 for me? Or get another a6600 body for my telephoto lens wildlife set up? Also, I went to my local camera shop-just to get a hands on with a6700, and my concern is about that small spring-hinge that secured the screen in place. At the shop, it was not securing the screen in place and it was impossible to secure it flat to the camera body neither way. I understand that huge amount of customer’s attention to the camera sometimes may be brutal, but…Will it wear out overtime? Thank you!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If not doing video - keep the a6600 and get more lenses!!

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you!😊

Hi Mark. Does the a6700 has a zoom rocker?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

No it does not

[@filipusdani]

Helpp.. my A6700 only do 50p/100p. There is no option for 24,60,120p?? Nvm i found it. Just switch it to NTSC from PAL at the end of the settings tab. Just scroll down

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

But chances are you’re in a pal region, so you may want to stay at 25fps or yiu may see flicker in non-studio lights

[@alonsogarrote8898]

How do you use clear image zoom?, Im using 18-135mm OSS, I activate the function but I got the same reach either with/out that function.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

You have to go go into the menu, make sure it’s on and then press the button to zoom, you cannot do this is raw photos, only video and jpeg, it’s in the user manual.

[@alonsogarrote8898]

ok I needed to select the zoom in the menu, If I wanted to use it with a hotkey I needed to set it up on another menu option, its nice.

[@SleepyTelly]

Omg, you got it mark!? Or is this the review unit still!?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that was the review unit. I made the guide when I had it. but my a6700 is supposed to arrive today

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis week of 8/6 for me. 😩 I think I’ll live though.

[@lexbraxman9270]

Your menu is a little different than mines (USA)

[@elliotnomanches]

Thanks for this! Could you clarify about Movie settings - I'm in a PAL region, if I choose XAVC-HS 4K there is only 50p and 100p Rec Frame Rate options, not 25p. But if I choose XAVC-S 4K then whilst there is the 25p option, for 4:2:2 10 bit there is only 140M, not 100M. Is this how it should be?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - for some reason Sony does not include the XAVC-HS in 4k 25p. You have to use the XAVC-S codec. I don't know if it's a problem with certain patents in certain areas or some other legality - but what you see is what is available in the PAL region.
