Sony a7R IV Tips & Tutorial

[@dhavalkhanna]

Just bought an A7RIV & trust me when I say this , the review was super helpful. I don't understand why someone would dislike this. Thanks tony !

[@jonspoard8416]

The reason I gave it a thumbs down was that the write speed on those SD cards (90mb) is crap. I did mention this soon after the video came out but they still kept recommending them. And more importantly for them, making money from them.

[@grrrrrgh]

Down votes are from jealous Fuji fanboys I think.

[@jpirizarry]

Just came here to say the same. This comprehensive guide has been very useful for setting up my new A7R. Thanks! I'll visit your bookstore.

[@mordavian]

Are you happy with the noise level?

[@kencook5856]

[@benlunsford4103]

Best tutorial on the web for perhaps the best Full Frame camera on the market for quite some time moving forward.

[@anjennyscoon4650]

I bought the a7RIV and this is my first camera. This is by far the best Tutorial I have seen thank you.

[@NoahGarel1963]

i would never subscribe or comment on a video... this was really well done. I seriously appreciate this!

[@bobeotm2]

I have used your guides whenever I get a new Sony camera. The most comprehensive camera guides I have seen on KZbin.

[@SusanSlattery]

OMG, what a resource this video is. As soon as I have my hands on the A7R4, I'll be watching this AGAIN AND AGAIN!

[@Cheryl407]

This was amazing. I never knew how much I did not know. It took me 8 hours to go through your 75 minute presentation. Thank you so much.

[@SteveKurtzJr]

Am I the only one that listens to these tutorials because Tony is great at explaining things? I don't even have this camera

[@MrNosugarcoating]

I don’t have the camera either

[@DalHarpJr]

@Steve Kurtz Jr.... You're clearly not the only one that feels that way sir! I'm team Canon all the way, but I'm sure I can still learn a thing or two by watching Mr. Northrup talk about this Sony.

[@WilliamWallaceRoss]

I watch them to get a feel for what the camera can do and how it differs from the earlier version.

[@defyiant]

Steve Kurtz Jr. Same this will be my first professional camera and I'm looking forward to owning it in a few months.

[@OWolf-pk1xq]

Hi, no you are not. I have watched almost all videos from Tony and Chelsea and bought their books because they are incredibly good at explaining things. I am surely not buying the A 7R iV but I still watched the video. I keep on learning things which I can use for my Sony camera. Hopefully the Sony A 9 II will come out soon. I am so excited to get it.

[@profaltman]

This was really helpful and now I have a zillion other videos to watch.

[@NickPage]

I always get excited when Tony releases his camera tutorials because it means my new camera is about to show up :-)

[@stevewallace387]

Best camera tutorial I have watched

[@fking907]

Great Tutorial! Very concise and covers a huge amount of topics with little wasted time. I wish all tutorials were this good

[@thisistimmy]

Just got my hands on the a7r4 since it was $2500 on Black Friday. This really helped me out with setting the camera up! Thanks a lot.

[@ninoliberatore1491]

Tony i have to say ,i have watched every setup video for the sony a7r4. Your is the most complete ,the easiest to follow and is what i am going to use . Thank you so much

[@scottyv1724]

❤ Tony you don’t know how valuable this is for someone just coming to the system. I am just getting my Sony a 7R5 coming from m4/3! So even though it’s not exactly the same your work is invaluable to us!!!

[@danewetton]

I rarely leave comments, but this has to be one of the most useful videos I've watched on Sony Cameras and I've been shooting Sony for 2 years. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it

[@jeffreytaylor6257]

Just bought this camera to migrate my alpha lenses. What a helpful tutorial. So grateful. JT

[@ldhfreeman]

Thanks so much for this tutorial Tony. I've just received my A7R3 recently, and after watch this video I can immediately use it :D

[@drip3084]

Great job! Been a pro for 38 years, and digital photographer since it started, almost day 1 with 1.4 megapixel camera. Been a canon shooter from the beginning. This a7R4 gives me a headache. The way you explain it makes it now so easy to understand. Not so overwhelming! Thank you! You should do this for a living. ;-)

[@davegrenier1160]

A friend of mine decided to become a wedding photographer and bought a high-end DSLR. He was intimidated by the (then) printed manual. He asked, "How am I going to learn all this?" I responded, "You're not. When you need to do something you don't know how to do, look it up. You will have learned something. Over time, you'll learn everything YOU need to know to run the camera. 80% of the manual will remain unread."

[@Thecyclistphotographer]

I just bought this camera today, and this was an amazing tutorial. Thank you Tony and I'm sorry about losing your voice.

[@hallamphoto]

Thank you! Looking forward to my A7riv as soon as B&H ships it. I've been shooting for 13 years on various Canon DSLR's and I'm stoked to be jumping into a different and modern realm of photography. I appreciate the info and time you put in to this in depth camera tutorial. Thank you!

[@chopster01]

Thought they would ship by this weekend, but at least not to me, lol! At least I can live vicariously through this video till mine arrives *sigh*

[@hallamphoto]

@@chopster01 Same here... Ordered mine August 12th. Thought they were shipping Sept. 12th... Not mine I guess.

[@chopster01]

hallamphoto ordered mine August 1. Why did I get myself so worked up about that announced shipping date? Now I am as sad as a kid whose ice cream fell off his cone, lol!

[@petersuvara]

How is the journey? Still using the A7RIV?

[@davidcohn4755]

Fabulous presentation. Thank you. A7Riv shows up tomorrow. Now heading over to your store.

[@ashishchawla2343]

Finally Saw it all again after 15 months, one stop for all setting queries. LOVE it thanks Tony. 👌

[@leewinter28]

Just got my A7RIVa a month ago and this tutorial should come with the camera! Great work, thank you Tony!

[@jurban3a]

I just got this camera and discovered more reasons to like it. The Sony manual is definitely lacking, so this video (which will have to be replayed a LOT) helps.

[@nhwine]

Of all the resources that explain the A7R4, this video is the most helpful I have found (and I've researched a bunch!). Thank you, Tony, for taking the time to put this professional review out.

[@tgond191998tg]

Love the details mentioned, shifting from a Canon D750 to the Sony a7r4 this video has really helped me. Thanks!

[@PsychicWarrior100]

Thank you Tony and Chelsea..I appreciate your great reviews, insights and communication skills.

[@musaiblabib8063]

I love Sony A7R iv .. and your tips and tricks are very helpful thanks

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

I have had this camera for a couple of months now. I had the A7III before. I feel I need a tutorial. I like Tony's tutorials because he does not underestimate his audience. Realized I have the old firmware on mine...

[@fghjohn]

This saved me. I am a nikon user and just got my new A7R4 and I was like totally lost until I found this video. The back button focus and eye-af settings were mind blowing to me!

[@bartjes2509]

Thanks so much for this extensive manual. A small update of something I saw on a different video: before reviewing pictures, enable touch (trashcan button), then review. Double tap the screen and wait a second on 2 will zoom in maximum. You can now even touch-drag the view accross the entire image. Zoom in & out does not work with two fingers like a smartphone but use the 'regular' zoom buttons. Double tap again to fully zoom out again. I think this is pretty handy but would like more smartphone-like touch operation for especially the menus. This function at least works using the latest firmware 1.20

[@walker6772]

If there’s a more in-depth guide to this camera I haven’t found it.. 👏 excellent Tony.

[@Markpatrickrich]

Thank you for your help walking through the menu I used Nikon for many years and switch to the Sony but thank you your course is great I’m buying your books I appreciate your positive energy thank you for your help

[@seanbowen4429]

Thanks so much Tony! I watched this twice when deciding to jump into the iv and just sat down with it in front of my while watching it again.

[@phoneplayTV]

U r the best and do come up with these kinds of tutorials it's very useful and informative...thank u so much ....

[@sharonb8626]

I've just bought the A7r IV and this tutorial is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.

[@ERP_Klim]

Got these camera after A7R III. Huge improvement in terms of autofocus and body. Enjoying it a lot. Fantastic image results as well. Thanks for a video!

[@Jaymuyhombre666]

Bought this camera and so far this has been the best tutorial ive seen ❤️📸

[@christmannaj]

Tony, thank you, this save me a ton of time. One thing I think you might want to update, if you want to shoot RAW to one card and JPEG to another, you have to have to change your "File Format" to "RAW & JPEG", otherwise it will just record one of the types.

[@alfredhofinger8342]

Best video to quickly experience the features of this camera - thank you Tony

[@jillmillet2683]

I learned so much about my new camera. Thanks a million

[@iamfrankstallone]

I went through you tips & tricks for the Sony A72 R years ago. Today I am going through your A7R 4 tips & tricks! You and Chelsea are amazing -- thank you for what you do! I have bought your books and t-shirts and will contiue to do so. It's the least I can do for all you have taught me throughout the years!

[@d.l.mcluvin8067]

You're videos are life savers ... especially this one. Thx so much

[@amns1986]

Thank you for this video! Makes me even more excited to receive the a7riv!

[@evangelinemartin850]

Hi,tony ...tony from new York city. Just to say thank you for your tutorial I'm using same camera it's a great help I'm computer illiterate but I can learn,landscape and nature is my passion be blessed always.

[@WatsonPhoto24]

Thenk you guys. Incredible tutorial. Looking forward to your new one for the 7RV.

[@nafnaf0]

Yes, I also hope they create a tutorial for the A7Rv

[@prettybrokendolls5234]

Man not only is your tutorial super valuable but you are funny! I'm sitting here watching it and more than once laughed out loud. My family turned and looked at me like wtf? Thank you so much.

[@BigSlimyBlob]

Took me 4 or 5 hours to get through this video and take relevant notes, but it's a gold mine. I really do think it would be appropriate to get one of these books next time I order from the relevant store.

[@antondeleon8515]

I'm on my 3rd watch though. Just a refresh. This camera has a learning curve for sure.

[@juanquispe3494]

At least I have enough money for the pdf manual!

[@ReshJojo]

Followed this guide for me new Sony a7IV

[@rogerserra3711]

An my a7iii I can double tap the screen to zoom in when reviewing my photos. You don't need to press the magnification button. At least on the a7iii. Thanks Tony. Your the best.

[@kelseyhorne2066]

Tony is doing Gods work with this video. Great job figuring out the Sony Menu mess

[@NickWeissMusic]

This video and index in the description are beautiful things.

[@mahmutbenzid7825]

Thank you so much !!! This is very helpful and you are the best youtuber about photography info and more ! Thank you!

This tutorial is a lifesaver. Thank you!

[@vishnuprasad3541]

Got my A7R IV just now !! Love from India ❣️

This is a great walk through of the Sony A7Riv. I hope you guys make some for the Sony A7iv and A7Rv

[@chopster01]

Praying B&H will ship mine tomorrow. Will be repeat watching this. Thank you!

[@saice101]

The best 1 hour I have ever spent. Thank you so much

[@seattlevkk]

Kudos to you. I’m a seasoned photographer but learning the Sony menu system would have taken an inordinately long time given I’m new to it. You’re video helped a great deal. Thanks!

[@Jwitherow1964]

I am on my third time with this video very helpful God bless you and your voice

[@thorsdeantorogi]

Thank you for this tutorial.. Just bought my A7RIV coming from an A7II and its a bit overwhelming esp. with the functions. And this video of yours helped a lot..

[@Treviso100]

Thank you! You do such a great job with these videos! What a life-saver this was! What a complicated camera!

[@robcarli3849]

Excellent video. Used a lot of this content to set up my a7R IV

[@rjb9377]

Tony when are you going to offer a Training Tutorial on Sony A7 IV.. Your tutorials are outstanding bc you are organized, meticulous and you take things step by step rather than assuming there is an understanding. thanks

[@markgibson9005]

Fantastic 5 star Tutorial ....Bought a A7Riva this morning ...They should bundle this tutorial with the camera .....Cheers Tony much love from Scotland ...Ps Agreed Imaging Edge is terrible

[@paulaoakes3566]

Tony - Just got my new Sony - Thanks for all the detailed information very helpful. Just started using back button focus. OMG how did I live without it for all these years.

[@dextermorgan5751]

4 Years ago > still helping me in 2024. Thankyou very much

[@andrearock71]

I changed from Nikon D850 to this camera, and this review was super helpful!!! thank you!!! :)

[@LensMasterGimble]

Thanks Tony, Iv learnt more in this hour than the 3 days iv been trying to learn by myself .

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@techdathoward]

Thanks for investing the time to do this Tony.

[@VoteRepublicanSaveAmerica]

Tony, THANKS FOR THE INCREDIBLE VIDEO! You are my FIRST stop for any question on photography. I would like to add a side note on the Sony A7RIII and IV, I had them both, and still have the IV. I learned this the hard way ( is there any other way of learning). The little piece of plastic that covers the Shoe, CARRY EXTRAS! If it is humid outside and that piece of plastic is missing chances are REALLY good that you will get an error message on your camera and it will not work, AT ALL! I was in Norway, on a rainy misting day. I had lost the plastic cover for the shoe. I didn't really think much of it, it's just a little piece of plastic - RIGHT? NOPE! I was hand-carrying my camera in a camera rain bag thinking it would be better than letting the rain hit it. After shooting for about an hour, I got an error message (don't remember what it said) and the camera locked up. So I spent the next few hours trying to figure out what was wrong. Finally tracked it down to NOT HAVING A SHOE COVER ON THE CAMERA! I was in Oslo, Norway at the time and found a camera store that had them in stock. I took the camera in the store, turned it on and the error message was still there. The guy in the store got the plastic shoe cover and put it on, ERROR GONE! I would not have thought that little piece of plastic could shut down a camera BUT IT WILL! I now carry a few of them with me at ALL TIMES. It happened to me a few months later after having a flash on the camera. I learned my lesson!

[@tienphotographer]

i will recommend you to anyone who wants a walk through my dude. your hard work got my sub and i'll check out your stuff.

[@robjeeves]

Just ordered this bad boy. Thanks for making Tony. Very helpful 🙂

[@pamelabrown1182]

Just saying thank you for this video and your books. You're my go-to guy for all the little and big photography questions that arise and I really appreciate your work. Thanks!

[@reynoldsyoung4163]

Wow, Tony! New to the A7r IVa. What a complete "picture" of how to use this machine. Your explanations are extraordinary and so very helpful in getting to know my way around. Been a Leica shooter forever. Eyesight changes forced this change. Remarkable camera...thanks for getting me onboard!!

[@nosauten]

Excellent tutorial and very beneficial for someone changing systems. Thank you!

[@chrismckeown1297]

Thanks Tony! Just got a A7R4, your tutorial is really helpful! I used your excellent tutorial for my Samsung NX1 as well. You are the man!

[@bernadettecarter6049]

Thank you, Tony for such a brilliant detailed tutorial. I feel more confident now with all of my notes by my side and inspired to get back out and getting shooting with my new settings.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@marceloaguilar646]

Thanks Tony. It is difficult to understand the complexity of so many options. Thanks to you I have acquired the essentials. I'm going for a walk around the store. You deserve it widely.

[@GroovyDre44]

Just traded my 5D Mark III DSLR for the Sony A7R IV today. Absolutely loving it so far. Only have a 28-75mm 2.8 at the moment. Looking to go big next with the sony 50mm 1.2. This video is definitely helping me learn this new system.

[@brandoncharleson]

Great video Tony. I am not sure if this was already posted, but it is very easy to transfer photos via Wifi. It states to use the Imaging Edge Mobile app, which you connect to the camera via QR code option. Works every time.

[@annarosemonroe2488]

This was SO good! Thank you, Tony!!! I recently upgraded to the A7r4 from the A7r2 and this was really helpful.

[@pixelyourmoment5255]

Not the best, not the worst, thanks for making this video!

[@DavidTpitCabrera]

I just got the a7ivA and this video was so helpful, thank you!

[@kimwood3980]

I've been watching your stuff since I picked up my first interchangeable lens camera, Sony a6300. Sold it and got the a6400. But could I stop there? NO!!! Now, I am also the proud owner of the a7RIV. Thanks for the video. Aside from explaining some of the key settings, I appreciate you explaining why this camera can be extra sensitive to the slightest movements. That settles it, I just need to become a better photographer. Thanks again. One day, I'll meet you two for drinks!

[@richardhutson2474]

Tony, Your tutorial is priceless ... makes setting up custom features on this camera easy. Your presentation skills are excellent.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Like number 1000, thanks for the tutorial Tony.

[@kl9794]

Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial, much appreciated for all the time and effort you and your team put in the tutorial.

[@BradMitchellPhoto]

Thanks for the video Tony. One tip on "Bulb" mode. You also have to make sure that "Silent Shooting" is turned "Off" if you want access to Bulb mode. Kinda silly, but ...

[@AZSaintBuddies]

Great tutorial thanks. The PC Port is actually useful for doing time-lapse work. The Sony built in intervalometer function works well and the output from the PC sync can be used to trigger a controller for doing shoot-move-shoot using a camera slider.

[@kaneclements7761]

Great tutorial. I got mine used in excellent condition a couple of months ago. This is my first Sony and a big step up in capability. I really appreciate the advice about using continuous autofocus / touch tracking. It will make a big difference to my us elf the camera.

[@scotth7129]

Just came across this video since I've been watching your others. Great tutorial! One other point about silent shutter/electronic shutter - I've run into issues with flicker from LED lights. Only able to compensate when mechanical shutter is on. Inconvenient when shooting indoors (plays/orchestras, etc) but need silence. Thanks for great video!

[@madaraofficiel676]

Thanks tony , you’re a father

[@ronanderson9960]

Outstanding information! I just picked up this camera yesterday, definitely need this! Thanks so Tony! Awesome videos!

Thanks man! This is my second time learning how to use a pro body from one of your tutorials.

[@karlthefirst8690]

This is the first place I go when I get a new camera. Well, I couldn’t help but open the box first and pick up the beast, but after that it’s Tony time... thanks as always, man!
