Sony a6300 Tutorial: Memory Recall 4k to 120fps

My Sony Sports Photography Gear: geni.us/EkwX
My Favorite Sony Accessories: geni.us/chNwEv
My KZbin Film Kit: geni.us/h1x8
I show you how to use the memory recall feature on the Sony a6300. This will allow you to be able to quickly change your video camera settings from 4k to HD 120fps by turning the mode dial on your camera. This is handy when shooting with the Sony a6300 at events where you need to be able to record in both formats.

To anybody wanting to do 4k 120fps, try moving the camera reallly slowly, and if you are filming animals tell them to move slowly aswell, then simply play back the video at 4x speed

[@KikinProductions]

I'm over here thinking you found a way to record 4K 120fps lol. Great video tho haha

[@that1cameraguy]

Sorry about that, haha.

[@SripalTAD]

that1cameraguy click bait😏

[@HonorRollFilmz]

Yeah he fooled me too 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@TranBaoViet]

just like me, i thought a6300 can shooting 4k 120fps with trick LOL

[@filmfreakpaul]

Yes, me too. The title is a perfect click bait. Deliberately or accidentally, don't know.

[@OhHiThereItsBen]

I've been looking for a way to quickly switch shoot modes for a while now.. you've just saved me a lot of time, thanks!

[@that1cameraguy]

Glad it helped you out.

[@billlynchfilms1858]

Thank you. This is the only video on KZbin that clearly explains how this is done. You just saved me a lot of time. :)

[@willgoldstone]

Hi Danny! I figured out and am sorry to report it's actually a problem with this tutorial! In your tutorial, you demonstrate setting things up and storing whilst in M (Manual) mode. However - this doesn't work when recalling the memory for video, because the camera needs to be in Video mode when storing the setting, otherwise the camera will ask you to switch to video mode in order to start recording - as the preset stored in 1/2 will be for M (manual - photography only). Setting the dial to Video mode when storing the Memory is essential - at least on the Sony a6500 - the only test model I have.

[@kc_ink_addict9079]

THANK YOU !! I had the same issue and I can confirm that I had to place the dial to movie mode if I wanted the memory settings to save for recording.

[@worldwidewallace]

I think that is a difference between a6300 and a6500- it works fine for 6300- good job for calling it out for 6500 users tho

[@josephbrooks7510]

Will Goldstone this is confirmed that the a6500 memory recall differs in this way. So his tutorial is accurate to model number.

[@cre8tivity06]

@KC_ink_addict I am having this very issue right now with my a6500. So do I put my camera in movie mode first, then go through the settings and then save those settings to either 1 or 2? Once saved, when you turn the dial to either 1 or 2 are you able to then shoot video with your saved settings?

[@spikepadley]

What causes this is actually to do with another setting. On page 8 of the cog menu icon (on Sony a6300 at least) there is the 'MOVIE Button' option, which can be set to 'Always' or 'Movie Mode Only': this controls whether movies can be recorded in modes (set from the mode dial) other than the movie mode. I believe by default it is set to 'Movie Mode Only', thus causing the 'Invalid in this mode. Available in movie mode.' message for recalled memory settings that were set in the manual mode. There are other disadvantages to setting your memory from the manual mode though, like the 4:3 frame switching to 16:9 once the record button is pressed.

[@NewsMoto]

Cool! This is great help! Very handy especially when you have other preferred frame rates.

[@brendanstonetreet6392]

Thank you. I shoot every day and always switching between slow mo and 1080p 24fps you have made my life a lot easier, thanks

[@that1cameraguy]

Glad it helped.

[@kylestewart4444]

When recording HFR footage, are you using UHS-II SD cards?

[@sjsphotog]

more a6300 videos please

[@RpaRalte]

My sony a6300 cannot do 120p in xavc s hd. It can do up to only 100p in xavc s hd. Is there something wrong with my camera? I'm from india

[@skyeyeindia]

It was really helpful ... I just picked up a 6500 ... iam new to video shooting but hungry for learning

[@octap79]

thank u for this

[@that1cameraguy]

No problem. Hopefully it was helpful.

[@ff-km1sq]

Suggest a RE-DO with the 6500

[@dval823]

Great video! Will try this out at a kids soccer game tomorrow!

[@that1cameraguy]

+Daren Valentine Awesome, hopefully it worked out.

[@that1cameraguy]

+Island Soul Films Glad it helped.

[@dorotakonchevska]

great informative video . thank you !

[@AiurMedia]

super helpful!

[@samwolf7464]

How do you set up manual exposure in the various 1 & 2 modes? My camera keeps auto adjusting

[@Aaarrroooo]

Hey, did you find an answer ?

[@jeff18715]

Try go to M mode first?

[@patrick5301]

If you set & save the settings you want in m mode, the custom mode you saved it to will also be manual.

[@TravelingPursuit]

again a really simple tutorial!! Thanks so much! Loving it

Gracias, fue de mucha ayuda. 😊 Feliz año🎉

[@JumpandExplore]

Hi there! How do you delete a memory recall that you have inputted?

[@WilliamYangTW]

very useful thanks for sharing

[@StanleyMOV]

Can you change iso, shutter speed and white balance in m1 and m2?

[@stavrozinio]

For me personally it is better to switch between the modes by hitting Fn key, and then scrolling from one shooting mode (set in custom keys) to other, so all the settings (PP, iso, wb.. everything) remain the same (except minimum shutter speed of 1/120 in ntsc or 1/100 in pal). Plus, you will not make the dial loose that fast or at all with my setup :)

[@Mikedigital32]

Thanks

[@alexalexis7899]

Hi! Any chance you could explain how this is done, please? Thanks!

[@tremendouscool]

Well done. Excellent explanation.

[@roberthosking7524]

Nice, fast, informative, and helpful video.

[@that1cameraguy]

Another great video thank you!!

[@that1cameraguy]

Thanks David!

[@teachingrounds]

This was awesome dude

[@LifeFromMyAngle]

hey could you make a video explaining the best settings for shooting video with this camera? Like what slog is best for etc i would really like to hear your opinion. Thanks!!

[@LifeFromMyAngle]

+iRepGuam thanks 👌

[@videoart1496]

hey...nice video. But what about M1 to M4 ? how can we recall this memory setups ? in camera wheel there is "1" and "2" as you described in order to recall our setup like your example, but how we recall M1 to M4 ? thanks

[@mm-hl7gh]

you go to either 1 or 2 and instead of just pressing enter, you first go left/right (on the wheel) to choose one of the four Ms and then press enter.

[@VideoUpskill]

Easy to follow thank you :) What gives better quality recording in movieHFR mode where it slows it in down in camera or when you record 120fps ans slow it down in post?

[@hadegbite]

Thanks for this video! I film in night clubs where i switch back and forth all the time. I cant believe i didn't think of this especially coming from canon cameras.

[@that1cameraguy]

Glad it helped.

[@kalef1234]

good job, something people will enjoy using on their cameras!

[@that1cameraguy]

Thank you.

[@DIYfam]

Nice job! Great video!

[@that1cameraguy]

+Kinster Thanks!

[@silviuvarzaru9664]

Everything cool and really handy tips but I spotted one sensitive flavour which you didn't mention regarding the 120fps and slow motion. I didn't check all the comments for it but I just buttoned my a6300 and there is an additional setting which I preffer before saving to M1 or M2. In the first camera menu, tab no. 7 last setting, you can select one of the 4 modes but directly in HFR so the video is automatically recorded in slow motion. I preffer this over post-processing the normal rate later. I dont know what is the actual rate but I like the smoothness out of it. Hope this helps lazy ppl like me. Thanks.

[@MrNeurovegal]

Very useful for me. Thanks a lot.

[@that1cameraguy]

Glad it helped. Do you have an a6300?

[@MrNeurovegal]

Yes. I´ve got a Sony a6300 and a RX100 m4. My RX100 has a dedicated place on the upper wheel for HFR. I find it really useful and missed it in my a6300. You solved this problem for me. Thanks again.

[@chrysbalbzstillsandfilm8915]

great vid. can you toggle between 4k and 120fps when the video is already recording?

[@John69420]

No you cant

[@DarachanMemes]

good video

[@andrewoid100]

you already have a lot of praise so its kind of pointless to comment this but thank you so much, it would've been a pain to google this and this really helped

[@Kidsonss]

Can you please do a Video with recommended settings when shooting in PAL - we have much less alternatives

[@pedrobrandao3248]

Nice JOB!!!

[@that1cameraguy]

+Pedro Brandão Thanks!

[@Pronoobfilmmaker]

What lense you used bro

[@Pema_pakhrin]

Any idea on how to change the aperture, iso and shutter speed manually on number 1 or number 2 button option which is next to M button. Before it was happening but i dont know what went wrong. If you could direct me with this trouble shoot i would appreciate it.

Enjoy your channel. Looking to move up from a Olympus tg5 to a Sony 6000 or a6300. Shooting 50/50 photo and video. Any taught on which one might be better for a novice looking to expand my capabilities with my camera?

[@jayargeronimo]

Can you still change settings from a Memory profile? (For example you went to 120fps and wanted to adjust Aperture / Shutter speed?)

[@misha.shendrik]

thanks

[@ganga108]

Much appreciated! very helpful!

[@jordanalsadi]

Thank you!

[@neti_neti_]

i was lucky to find your chanel , i like it your presentation style it is slow ,steady , like you are not in any hurry , like a sun . i want to know from you that in 2016 will sony release RX100 MARK 5 with pdaf /hybrid autofocus with focose time of 0.05 sec or less with curved Exmor RS sensor and better high fps about 1080p at 980fps with new bionZ x cpu and low heat during 4K because transistor node has reached 11nm which have low TDP . i allready have sony rx100 mark 3 i skipped mark 4 but now i want mark5 , do you know when it will come in 2016 , i have seen canon 80d i did not like it primary due to it does not fit in my pocket , and due to rx100 form factor i can be incognito which i can not be with canot 80d

[@that1cameraguy]

+Apoorva Madhukar I think you may have to wait later this year, possibly. That's just my guess.

[@PeteNgamsopee]

great !!! thank you

[@that1cameraguy]

+Pete Ngamsopee You're welcome.

[@ThorCaes]

Very informative tutorial, helped me out bigtime! Why did you turn off Steadyshot at 120FPS though?

[@heinricheugenkarlvonhelmbr9645]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

[@thetubeinsideyou]

This worked for the 4k but when I try and do the slow motion memory 2 it doesn't record in slow motion for some reason. the only way to get it to shoot in slow motion is to put it in movie mode.

[@gurnoorsingh239]

Hi mate, Thanks a lot for all the videos & disseminating knowledge. I have a question. Hopefully you’ll answer. I have a7rii & there’s no option of 120fps in the record settings. Does it matter that we can only shoot at 120fps with native lenses only? Currently I’m using samyang 85/1.4 & sigma 30/2.8. Thank you.

[@patrick5301]

Try setting your camera to ntsc mode

[@keremyucel7475]

Is there a way to disable the NTSC startup message when using 120 FPS?

[@bobbyjazz]

I can see only 25p 100M and 25p 60M on my a6300, in your video I can see many frame rates like 24fps, please help

[@patrick5301]

Your camera is set to pal mode. You have to set it to ntsc to get 24, 30, 60 & 120 fps.

[@floatingrabbit3556]

I have a gimbal now. should i turn steady shot on or can they work together some how.

[@Nellychanelle]

Awsome job. Thank yOU

[@that1cameraguy]

+Nelly chanelle thanks, you're welcome.

[@NoahMalloy5]

Question.. So why shouldn't I use HFR Manual under the video settings?

[@CNW_FILMS]

Really liked the video... One function I wanted to add to both Memory #1 and #2 is the remote shutter control option. The option is located in the tool box menu #3. at the bottom. Is there anyway to add that option to my memory recall??? TIA

[@emersonricciardone6296]

Do u think the Sony is good for shooting football or lacrosse?

[@jarrad5244]

Nice video 👍

[@robseens4823]

Can you change settings when you are in memory recall ?

[@chloechaule1706]

Excellent !! Thank you so very much for sharing and being so friendly too :)

[@that1cameraguy]

+Chau Chloe Le Thanks!, glad it helped.

[@CPerryTravels]

QUICK QUESTION: when using the a6500 is there any way to see how much storage you have remaining on the SD card?? I've been using the camera for a year but find myself having to insert the card into my laptop to see the remaining space I have which is a bit inconvenient...

[@SummitSmile]

MENU -> LAST ICON (The toolbox icon) -> LAST TAB (Setup 7) -> Display Media Info. This will show you how many stills and how much time you can record with your current settings. A bit late but it might helps others, although I don't think anyone else that has the A6500 would run into this problem tbh. And since you are plugging the card into the laptop to see the available space I suggest you just copy the stuff to your laptop so you always have space. NEVER wait for the memory card to be full to import your content to your computer, just do it as soon as you can.

[@MRMRS2wheeler]

Thanks for this tutorial. It saves a lot of time while out shooting. One question though, is it possible after everything is set to a memory button to use custom iso, like taking a shot of a white card? For some reason it wont let me access it. Thanks, Mike

[@BUONCO]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

[@shawncheng404]

Sony is best

[@gbalbz]

im a little bit confuse on the 4k of this camera. i used 4k in shoot but when i bring it into my timeline it doesn't fit 3840x2160.

[@edventures9884]

Thanks! I'm thinking of upgrading to a Sony a6300 to improve the quality of my videos(:

[@that1cameraguy]

Great!

[@ellisfeibush2433]

How do you delete one of the memories and either leave it blank or install another one in its' place?

[@slimslopy]

To start off the confusion is there are 2 camera icon/mode in menu. Don't know which I should be in.

[@madsrasmussen4306]

Good Job explaining :)

[@louisatu-tetuh3244]

Hi, I rented one of this to try out. I have it set at 4k XAVC S, 24p 60m, why are my files showing up as .mp4? Is that how it's suppose to be? Is there some other setting I have to do or do I need something else to convert the files? Thanks

[@that1cameraguy]

mp4 is the file format they come out as.

[@patrick5301]

Try to disable dual recording

[@sibiya2000]

What are your recommended Black Level, Black Gamma, Color Mode, Saturation, Color Phase, Color Depth and Detail settings? Do you increase the Exposure Comp when shooting on s-log?
