[@robholguin9091]

Bro you you’ve broken everything down in every one of your videos for each and every one of your viewers to understand thank you sir!! 👏👏👏

[@christianjmedia]

I appreciate that

[@steadicamwalker]

It's good to see someone who won't keep upgrading gear forever. Thumbs up

[@christianjmedia]

I have upgraded cameras but A7II gets me allot of views so I have to keep it in the video rotation 🔥

[@by_tru]

thank you 🙏🏾 just got starter film making with my A7ii and considering its definitely not the best for filming i wanted to believe i could still make it work, this helps all lot!!

[@christianjmedia]

If your only looking 1080p then it’s pretty decent still

[@Targy5]

Omg, this is gold! Thank you for making this!!!!

[@christianjmedia]

You're so welcome!

[@william1386]

For taking video, what I learnt from the video, shutter speed is fixed in 1/50, how about the setting for ISO and Aperture ? Thanks

[@christianjmedia]

Aperture and ISO will be your control while shutter is fixed so if you want depth shoot low aperture and low iso if not raise the aperture but you would have to increase iso to keep your exposure correct so it’s a balancing act depending on what you’re looking for stylistically

[@CroakWanders]

Thank you so much brother this is a big help 🧡

[@christianjmedia]

Happy to help

[@FajriSiddiq]

so how do you edit it in davinci, i mean the settings since i dont understand what to choose on the cst and etc

[@christianjmedia]

Match your cst to what you set in camera, if your not using a picture profile then you don’t need to use cst in davinci

[@boost7146]

Can you do cinematic setting for low light?🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@christianjmedia]

For sure 💪🏾

[@cedricgyger2936]

hey thanks so much for this video. I'm in france and my A7II have just the record setting at 25P 50M or 50p 50M do you think it's about EU vs US because my firmware is the newest?

[@christianjmedia]

That’s a PAL vs NTSC difference since you’re in EU those are right cause your camera is set to PAL if you were in the US or purchased a US camera it would be NTSC format

[@cedricgyger2936]

@@christianjmedia ok thanks it was understood but not sure thanks for report

[@Michael.10203]

question: why would you rather use cine 1 over Slog 2?

[@christianjmedia]

Because it’s only 8bit and with 8bit I feel it’s better to get a baked in less saturated image from shooting rather then trying to push around 8bit, in post wich is very hard I only suggest s-log when using 10bit or higher because the image will be wayyyyyy more flexible and won’t fall apart when trying to get a desired look.

[@Michael.10203]

@@christianjmedia Alright thank you so much man!! Looking forwards to some other A7 ii Videos!!!!

Thanks mate, very helpful

[@mige1913]

I only have a shutter 45 and 60, i do not have 50 even if i am on PAL or NTSC region settings....I have 24p setting but not 50 shutter, what is the best settings in this situation?

[@christianjmedia]

In this case scenario I would get it to as close to 1/50 as possible so if it’s 1/48 or 1/60 it should still give you smooth video while still using 24fps.

[@mige1913]

@christianjmedia Thanks a lot for the advice. And one more question, do you know why I don't have the option to set it to 50 shutter? I have the new firmware 4.01, I don't really know why I don't have that option...

[@justbeinghonestkm3322]

Appreciate you!

[@christianjmedia]

No problem bro! Stay tuned

[@ESGRell]

What detail level do you use? Do you use some in body camera sharpening or none at all?

[@christianjmedia]

0 none at all.

can you help me setting a7ii for photoes please 😊

[@christianjmedia]

Soon I will have a video on this topic

[@f90sashi]

hey man my a7ii is always struggling in focus when I do shots of walking towards the car that I shoot and it never stays focused, what focus area should i use for car videography, I have a sony 50mm f1.8 and a 35mm f1.4 samyang with a dji rs3 minii

[@christianjmedia]

Try using center focus area and shotting in 2.0 or 2.8, the A7II doesn't have a ton of focus points so trying to having it nail razar sharp 1.8 focus is going to be tough IMO

[@f90sashi]

@@christianjmedia appreciate the tips man, I’ll be selling my a7ii and my 50mm 1.8 to save up for the a7iii because the autofocus and 4k video and overall its a much more advanced camera body

[@Omegavishun]

Everything after "dual video record" isn't highlighted and I can't choose those settings. Is there a reason for that?

[@christianjmedia]

Should be highlighted honestly unless you are wanting to shoot a proxy but i wouldn't suggest that with the A7II

[@Omegavishun]

@christianjmedia it's not. Idk how to change the settings to where it is highlighted. That's weird.

[@dvljoe3363]

Please help me to make a decision. I have a Nikon d5300. But i wanna step in the Sony's world with Tamron 50-400. I will use my next cam only for landscape. Can A7ii produce a same sharp images compare with the A7iii? Thank you

[@christianjmedia]

Yes the image from both are pretty indistinguishable but if your looking to do any video then go with the a7III as it has better video capabilities compared to the a7II

Sir please tell why the ISO doubles in my camera when recording is on in picture profile 1

it shouldnt cause of the profile just make sure AUTO ISO is not on

Why can’t I send videos to my alpha linker app? Only thing it lets me send are mp4s

[@thomasgrabham5184]

I've got the Sony a7ii I've tried to copy your settings for a normal pic and the lowest the aperture will go is F4.5 and the screen is very dark. Is there something wrong with my camera?

[@christianjmedia]

Nope if it’s dark turn your iso up if you’re at 4.5 you should be seeing something

[@thomasgrabham5184]

@@christianjmedia thank you so much

[@BiggPapi]

Would these settings be the same for an a7iii

[@christianjmedia]

Yes but you will have 4k instead of just 1080p to chose from

[@missMarrry1]

Could you let me know how to burly the background while recording videos?

[@christianjmedia]

Blurring the background comes within the lens lol, shoot on a lens that has a low F number. For example F1.4 will give a very blurry background an as this number increases the blur will decrease. hope this helps!

bro, thank you for providing this important information, but I want to ask at night how to reduce noise recording conditions on night video displays

[@christianjmedia]

Less ISO and longer shutter

[@mrdhanicom]

thanks you brother 😃@@christianjmedia

[@aarifedits8903]

My sony m2k not showing these options

[@christianjmedia]

You might be in PAL standard so if you see 50fps it’s the same as 60fps it’s a regional thing.

[@f90sashi]

Hi why cant i make it 60p on my a7ii there is only 50p and 25p

[@christianjmedia]

You camera is set to PAL instead of NTSC in PAL 50p is basically 60p so you should be fine.

[@harmonfam1293]

So whenever I do my shutter speed 1/50 with these settings on my Sony A7-II it’s way to bright or dark, I tried taking some videos yesterday and I could tell the sky was way to bright you couldn’t see the crispness of the clouds. Any advice for this?

[@christianjmedia]

When shooting outside it’s advised to use a ND filter cause the camera iso won’t go down low enough to get the clouds to not be over exposed, the 1/50 shutter is for the best and smoothest movement when recording so if you aren’t shooting any moving object that needs natural motion then you can change your shutter speed it’s just good practice to always have it set where it’ll be able to perform whether that be with movement or not. So I would suggest a variable ND so you can keep your setting right and expose right just by turning your ND ,hope this helped 💪🏾

[@harmonfam1293]

@@christianjmedia Thanks! I’ll probably stick to more of just taking photos with it. What advice do you have for taking good night photography without a lot of noise? I’ve yet to figure this out and I’ve been trying everything. I’m going to be doing some photography for the upcoming high school football team where I live at but my lens is only 28-70 mm (not the fanciest) it’s the only lens I have. I’m trying to do the manual mode and adjust all my settings but I can’t quiet figure out how to take clear photos at night.

[@christianjmedia]

The higher the shutter speed the darker your image will be but if shooting sports you need that shutter to be higher so you can basically stop the action in motion, what I would do is look for f2.8 for the lens so it’ll let allot of light in, now if you don’t have f2.8 then your going to be looking at ISO but ISO is also where you can introduce grain if pulled to high, so it’s a dance between your shutter your F number and iso in your case I wouldn’t touch f number I would be changing iso and shutter constantly depending on the situation at hand.

[@jonathanblanckaert]

it doesnt shoot 4k?

[@christianjmedia]

Nope no 4K on the A7II
