SONY A7IV: Things To Look Out For When Streaming via USB-C

[@navinramaswaran]

Do you use the A7iv to stream? What is your experience so far?

[@innovativekid2294]

Had the same overheating issues previously. Then I turned the USB power off. It’s perfectly alright

[@guocity]

can you stream via wifi connection?

[@navinramaswaran]

@@guocity Do you mean stream wirelessly via the A7IV's wifi connection? No, you can't. The camera has to be hardwired into a computer.

[@guocity]

@@navinramaswaran ok, so the wireless only work for photos

[@navinramaswaran]

@@guocity It works to transfer photos to the Imaging Edge app, and control the camera via the app.

[@knowyouryoga]

The difference between youtubers who get the camera for free and a person who pays for it is; when the latter reviews it they give detailed information like this which is useful to make the decision while purchasing it. I would like to see your detailed review of this camera.

[@navinramaswaran]

Appreciate it! Glad this video was beneficial. I’m going to try and deliver more content like this, that’s based on my personal experience and real world usage.

[@superwebsitehero7261]

Its fascinating that your video is still the only one that talks specifically about USB streaming for the A7IV in over 2 years. Great job explaining Brother! I Appreciate You! 💖💎🙌∞

[@superwebsitehero7261]

Also have you used a Dummy Battery to combat the physical battery not having to be in?

[@navinramaswaran]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad the video was of value :) I don’t typically use dummy batteries so I haven’t tried it with the A7iv unfortunately.

[@Sabrithai]

I don’t want to stream, just record a video on my desktop with my Sony A7S3 Which option gives you the best quality image? 1 ) usb c - usb c cable 2) camlink 4K el gato 3) usb c - usb a

[@JoshuaKrell]

Literally just got the A7iv and was running it for first time on a 2 hour zoom call. The camera didn’t feel very hot but kept on powering off due to this very issue. This is so helpful! Figured I was gonna have to go back to my Logitech brio 🤮

[@colarola7223]

Are there going to be any trailers for Invited dropping soon?

[@navinramaswaran]

We’re in the midst of finishing the movie, and will be working on a trailer alongside that. Aiming for November :)

[@KT-dj4iy]

1:33 I've been seeing the overheating problem even when -- after watching your video -- I turn "USB Power Supply" to "Off". It happens after about 32 minutes of streaming. (It was just a Zoom call, but I'm not sure that matters.) Are there any other settings or factors I might need to be aware of that could affect this? I am brand new to the A7 IV, and to Sonys in general, so maybe there's something that might seem so obvious to you and other experienced users that you don't explicitly mention it. (Like, "Do not try to stream cakes baking in an oven" 😀) ADDED: Ah, I'd missed the text at 2:04 that you mentioned in your reply to @Frank Dávalos. Testing now with that "Auto Power Off" set to "High" instead of to "Standard". ADDED2: Yeah that helped. I left it running and by 1 hour and 5 minutes it was still fine. No sign of overheating.

[@navinramaswaran]

Awesome! Glad that helped! :)

[@Freizeitschranzer]

Back when i was using this feature i also noticed that light and with this iso also changes heat a little. Today i use combo of usb cable streaming, usb power off and ac battery adapter

*Any tips for connecting using a Sony A7IV as a webcam and connecting it to a USB-C port?* I have a 2017 MacBook Pro [13 inch w/touch-bar] and it ONLY has USB-C / Thunderbolt ports. So, you're confirming that we do NOT need a CamLink capture card to do 108060p streaming [e.g. using as a webcam for meetings] we just need a good USB-C to USB-C cable? Are there any specific brands that you would recommend? Cheers!

[@navinramaswaran]

Hi there - Correct, you do not need a capture card with the A7iv. You can make a direct USB-C to USB-C connection, and your computer will detect the A7iv as a webcam. The cable that comes with the camera is great, but it's a USB-C to USB-A. I have an Orico USB-C to USB-C cable that works well. Moment sells a high speed cable too. UGreen is another easy to find brand. But if you search for any "high speed USB-C cable" on Amazon they should mostly work well. They just have to be able to transfer data fast so go for USB 3.1 Gen 2 for guaranteed performance. I'll update my description with links to these cables.

[@vanguardmma2465]

@@navinramaswaran *could you tell me your camera settings and shutter speed?* My camera only says 4k 12.5fps, 1080 50p, 1080 25p, etc. There is no 1080-60p option in the USB streaming setting? My webcam doesn't look quite as fluid and I don't think it is full 1080 60p in OBS.

[@navinramaswaran]

@@vanguardmma2465 Seems like you’re in PAL mode. If this is the case, there won’t be a 60p option, but a 50p option instead. You’ll have to switch your camera system to NTSC, reboot it and then you should see the 60p option.

[@vanguardmma2465]

@@navinramaswaran Cheers mate!

[@IgnatSolovey]

I guess the safest anti-overheating option that wouldn't compromise you on power too much is to use an external dummy battery with wall or NP-F. I didn't yet find a third-party AC adapter that the camera wouldn't sneeze at (a regular Chinese AC to FZ-100 power supply produces an “incompatible battery” message), but I'm successful with KingMa dummy plug hooked to SmallRig plastic NP-F plate (using a 7.4V out indeed, as there is a 12V one as well there, so be careful). NP-F9xx type batteries are beefy enough to last for at least 3 or 4 hours of active runtime.

[@switchunboxing]

Got a link to a good dummy battery? Is it as simple as popping it in and plugging it in? Does it power the camera?

Hi there, interesting informations. I experienced a overheating shutdown and find out that even if USB-C power supply was turned on, the battery was slowly discharging. Have you noticed difference in overheating using usb-c cable vs HDMI port? I’d like to ask you if recording on SD card while streaming makes the camera heat even more and if the battery discharges quicker.

Glad to hear the audio passes through! I was wondering the same thing.

[@tek_soup]

had to totaly reset initialize my camera, to get it to work, it was always greyed out. it kept saying what the problem was, but it was not. now ill start changing settings, and it will quit working. i hate this, about Sony Cameras. Best experience, turn usb power off, use a dummy battery, and leave the screen open, dont dual record unless you want a Crop if you select 1080p 60. Far easier to just use a capture card, in the end, and you can do 4K 60 if you buy the right one. any usb, is going to be 4K 30, none of them do 4K 60. buy the avermedia live gamer 4K Pcie Card or the Thunderbolt version, same device.

[@navinramaswaran]

The shots of myself are with the Sony 20mm/1.8 actually.

[@switchunboxing]

@@navinramaswaran Thank you I was just about to get that one today. But it looks so distorted. I hear people using the word distorted I’m not sure if that’s what they mean? The bending and fisheye. Maybe it’s just because of how close you are to the camera but even your room looks like a fish bowl. I’m debating between that and Sigma 16-28 for my unboxing videos. Trying to upgrade from my iPhone but im just nervous on which lens to get. I love Sony quality. Thought I would get the 20mm and just crop in a bit or use clear image zoom. But idk. With sigma 16-28 I can really just zoom in with lens to get how close I need it. Idk why your shot looks so wide. I’ve seen video samples where it doesn’t look so wide. Do you have lens correction stuff turned off? I wasn’t sure you could.

[@thisiseric]

I have an a7iv and was hoping to do some streaming and recording which I haven't done before. Just wondering if you can record the actual footage on the memory cards at the same time as live stream? As in you have the real video file on your cards (not a zoom recording file) while streaming to zoom at the at the same time?

[@amirlaukholm]

03:22 you are wrong the reason for that is you have set the internal recording to 4k, det it to 1080. Then you can stream at 1080 60 without a crop

[@navinramaswaran]

I believe streaming in 4k caps your frame rate to 15fps, so 1080p is the better option. To stream 4k at 30p you'll need a capture card or something like a Backmagic switcher.

I got a question, I'm using the cable that came with the camera - USB-C to A which is blue so I'm guessing it's 3.0 but in OBS I still get just one resolution > 1024x576. How could you get 1080 or 4K via USB? Is it because you are using some kind of super fast aftermarket USB-C to A cable? Please let me know. Edit: I found an older message of yours where you explained you are actually using a USB C to C cable instead of USB C to A. But still I am curious, can you get a max output of 4K? or just 1080p?
