I literally bought my A7C II two weeks ago and the algorithm finally shows this to me, thanks for all the work on this one!

[@froknowsphoto]

You're welcome and congrats on your purchase!

[@Renerator]

Super thorough Fro Man! I just got my A7C ll last week and learning as I go. Love ur vids!

[@Renerator]

Question for ya Jared…a while back I purchased one of your packages for Lightroom. Since then, I’ve upgraded my PC and no longer have that Lightroom with your package installed. Can you tell me how I can retrieve the package and install it on my new PC?

[@pXmTS]

I know this won't be the most viewed video.. but it helps the people who are looking for something like this SO MUCH. Thanks a ton!

[@ahmadfodeh3413]

Why I watch your videos ? And your channel is my favorite ? 1. Colorful and bright and not the black and dark where we can't see anything. 2. No stupid background music. 3. Sitting there chill and calm and talking clearly and slowly. Watching this is just a pleasure. Keep it up 👍 👍

[@officialspaceefrain]

I absolutely adore these types of videos. So relaxing even tho I don't even own the cam. Good job.

[@dalwindersingh2322]

Jared, Thank you Sir. I learned so much more here than watching dozens of other videos on the A7CII

[@danvranic2306]

"Lexar makes cards as well" had me going.

[@mcthunderstick2374]

It’s funny because I’ve had more Sandisks fail than Lexars 🤣

[@ShaabaamAshon]

Jared, Keep doing what you do. Appreciate your thorough Sony A7CII settings review.

[@aminjl_art]

Just bought mine today, needed this!! Thanks Jared!

[@froknowsphoto]

You’re welcome

[@BRCPres1]

Thank you for making this super detailed video. I just purchased this camera (awaiting arrival) and I will refer to it many times over, I’m sure. You’re the best! Steven too 😊

[@nicozika]

I'm not a beginner but still watched this video all the way through. Some really great information! thanks!

[@jakemaughan3818]

This is my first camera! Just got it today. I really appreciate this video! I was lost trying to do this alone.

[@RawDeal-mo1ng]

I ordered this one for my son so thank you for this video.

[@andrew24667]

just got my first upgrade into full frame and the A7C II is what i got and this was most definitely helpful

[@prof_jesus]

You made the experience so much easier coz I just bought mine around 14 hours ago, and I'm (much like this menu) deep into 6:23 setting the dang thing up 🤣

[@Tvojangel2000]

Я раньше такой: "Ну для кого эти видео инструкции нужны, чего вы инструкцию не читаете, ууууу, почитайте буквы, ууууу". И тут покупаю a7cm2 и там в комплекте камера, ремешок и батарейка. Даже USB кабель зажали, я уж не говорю о зарядке для аккумулятора - ни какой толстенькой книжечки с инструкцией , как на никон нет, разбирайся сам во всех этих сокращениях. А там после бумажного самолётика никон, целый воздушно-космический комплекс. Посыпаю пеплом голову, заявление на отдельный котел в аду написал) За видео "жесточайше" плюсую. Всех вам благ прекрасный товарищ Джарет, вы как наш любимый Бонифаций несёте радость детям. А дети очень жестокие... Ну для кого эти видео инструкции нужны!!..

[@MohcineJabairi]

Thanks Jared, just got my A7CII today itself, and moved fro the old A7 II, the new menu is overwhelming with too many options and things to click n clack!

[@howardhdavidson]

Very helpful video to make sure you’ve set your camera up for your connivence .Well explained.I believe you’ve done this before. Thanks! one of the best to watch.

[@damoripierce423]

1:17:50 is how to set the ISO to the Wheel .... I'm glad I came to this video because you've told me EVERYTHING i needed to know, even tho I only came to see how to set that rear dial to ISO. THANK YOU! Also the "I Shoot RAW" back to the future shirt i got is dope!

[@sureshchinnappa2290]

Thank you so much. You are fantastic at explaining the menu detail and I am enjoying every minute of it!

[@TJohnson540i]

Patient teacher FroKnowsPhoto! Appreciate all the videos!

[@toasty-toast]

So timely. I just bought this and started setting it up last night. Would love a deep dive into how to optimize colors for a Nikon or Velvia type look

[@3dvisionservices364]

Thank you for the material and notes!

[@LucidCreature]

After watching this, I am tempted to buy this camera. (In the market for a mirrorless)

[@creatingwithkenna]

This was SO helpful and informative and you made me laugh too! Thanks for all of this!

[@dalejones146]

Great video. I just bought the A7CR and assume that most of this user guide will work for it too.

[@froknowsphoto]

We did that one as well. We should have the a7CR guide out some time next week

[@aaantunes]

This is a brilliant and funny video. I'm waiting for my A7c II so I'm consuming all tutorials I can to explore it fully. To be honest I'm intimidated by the colossal amount of settings I'll be able to set. It's my first full-frame digital camera.

[@jonguitarman2003]

Definitely a big help in setting up this camera I just got in the fall. I previously used the a7iv video but it was missing a few things. Thanks guys!!!

[@maurodriguez9333]

Thank you so much for this video. Just got the sliver body today and loving it.

[@Paglov]

Excellent video!

[@horaceho3642]

Great tutorial. I love it

[@tals01]

Thanks for this informative video. Love this camera!

[@m.scottgordon3475]

So helpful. Thanks

[@ivorwindybottom77]

Thank you so much for this video I own the A6000 slightly different menu system but stil learnt a few things.. Time to tinker with my settings now

[@geuskoeman721]

thanks jared very helpful,bought the sony today

[@michaelajoseph6856]

Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@BRCPres1]

Thanks!

[@ViktorIvanov1990]

Hi Jared, thank you for your efforts I found some really helpful tips. However not everyone buying this camera is new to photography I don't know why you just assume it. Most of the people are actually upgrading and want those in depth settings explained that are new to the camera.

[@chamacarol]

This was a comprehensive and really helpful review of the A7C II main camera features, thanks so much for taking the time to create and share this tutorial, Jared! #igotthisfar

[@Britton0932]

I’m a Canon shooter for all of my life, but I am intrigued by SONY. With Canon not allowing Tamron and Signa to make RF glass, I am highly considering NOT buying an R mirrorless and moving to SONY… …as much as that pains me as I know Canon menus

[@dylan_statham]

Does choosing sRGB instead of Adobe RGB limit the gamut of the Raw images?

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!!

[@DevonChristopherAdams]

I watched this last fall and enjoyed it but now I own my own A7C2 so I rewatched the entire thing. So robust. I saw you can turn off group burst review. Thank you! I hate that about this body & now it's off!

[@vivlund]

I bought memory cards from Amazon. They were cards that someone had likely bought, changed out for lower quality, and sent back to Amazon. Or they were just counterfeit. What Jared said is definitely true.

[@dashing2293]

I pick mine up tomorrow! I ended up getting a few dead pixels on my a7iii from lasers what do you suggest to protect my sensor in the future. I am a club photographer

[@hrdrckx]

One of the best videos on the internet. #igotthisfar.

[@p1st0ls44]

thanks for the vid :) been looking at this cam

[@keensoundguy6637]

The yellow "Setup" menu seems like it should have have 14, not 13, sections. When you're on the first one, the upper right corner displays 43/56 -- 43 is the first one, 56 the last. If you want to translate the sequence 43 to 56 as a count beginning at 1, you subtract 42 from each number. So 43-42=1 is the first one, 44-42=2 is the second one, and the last one should be 56-42=14 but it's labeled as "13". That means somewhere in the sequence, a number is skipped and that skipping occurs at #4. #3 shows 45/56 and #4 jumps to 47/56. Perhaps it's a section from a previous version of the menu system that has been obsoleted, or one that's available on another camera but not this one.

[@froknowsphoto]

hmm, interesting! Good spot

[@Jwitherow1964]

I don’t even own this camera but I watched this cause I like fro, and the Sony c

[@jaughnekow]

i gotta upgrade to this camera from my nikon D5600

[@IvanLesnov]

How select AF like zve10 “product show case” on a7cii ?😢

[@gielandreileano6185]

No user guide for the original a7c ? 😢

[@zainabamin2457]

Thank you

[@gv100_blitz]

For the hands free menu shot was that the atomos comped over the footage of the camera?

[@froknowsphoto]

Any footage you saw came directly from the Atomos. 1080p dirty out signal from camera to atomos. The 4k clean feed from camera will look much different. This was just for demonstration purposes, not showing the quality you will get.

[@aldocahyov]

why my lut can't load?

[@CreatedbyAvi]

I am trying to open A7C ii raw photos on the Mac. However, preview or photos app doesn't support it. Is anyone experiencing the similar issues? Thanks

[@froknowsphoto]

You should be able to still open and view them in Preview, .ARW files are supported. Is you Mac OS up to date?

[@CreatedbyAvi]

@@froknowsphoto thanks for your reply. Did you actually try it yourself? I spoke with Apple and they told me Sony A7c raw file is supported but not A7c ii. Apple also has a list of camera on their website that support raw file. However, A7c ii isn't included in that list.

[@aaantunes]

​@@CreatedbyAviyou'll probably have to wait a little bit until it's supported.

[@ashb2222]

#Igotthisfar Thanks very much for taking the time to make this!

[@Ak-wr2ns]

Wheres self timer?

[@urcool425]

#igotthisfar Just got this camera today, first camera, overwhelming but just the video that I needed. Thanks a lot for taking the time out and making this.

[@donotbelive-te7zz]

the same menu like A6700 ?

[@froknowsphoto]

very similar

[@yannguerin3164]

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

1:03:00 Thank you for pointing out that BBF is not necessary anymore. I've never liked it because releasing a button to keep the focus has always been massively counterintuitive for me and I'd much rather assign a different function to the AF-ON button.

[@Consciousnessbin]

#igotthisfar Thanks Jared and Steven, it was helpful and fun.

[@mohdod4r]

Why is the highest resolution of my camera is 29M?????

[@HillsideRip]

#igotthisfar thanks for the full and in depth explanation. I wish I watched this 3 months ago when I first got my camera

[@CheerleaderTW5566]

outstanding camera but without joystick.... so much pain

[@stefanoes1900]

Great Jared !!! even if you don't speak Italian. Just kidding 😄

[@dibsonthat]

#igotthisfar - Thank you so much for this! Truly appreciated. Watched from start to finish with numerous rewinds as I worked the camera along with the video. This was literally the perfect walkthrough, and as a novice, I actually feel confident with the camera now.

[@froknowsphoto]

Thanks for watching and glad I could help out!

[@S550_HB]

Im watching this a day before the camera comes (its going to be my first ever DSLR)

[@penguinfarm907]

The a7c2 is not a DSLR

[@S550_HB]

@penguinfarm907 let me off, it's the only camera term I know 😂😂

[@tomd4748]

He hasnt skipped arm day in years

[@alstonbarretto]

#igotthisfar damn that was a movie

[@Britton0932]

@Britton0932 0 seconds ago I don’t like the lens release being on that side of the mount, I press my ring finger against the bottom of the lens near the body for added stability. Nor do I like the power switch on the shutter release. Hmmm, looks like RF glass it is.

[@adamadamis]

You mean RF plastic, similar to the one used in spectacles? RF plastic can be quite overpriced and you won't have alternatives.

[@mustang2005]

[@ishu87]
