Unlocking The Power of the Sony RX100 V

[@LivingFree207]

I just got this camera and watched many tutorials. I'm not tech savvy and new to cameras such as these so your video was the BEST well explained tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you sooooo much. I needed this step by step tutorial or I would never have been able to figure it out. Really appreciate it! :)

[@joseluisbranconunes]

6mins in and I'm sold out! Tomorrow I will pick up my rx100v and give it a go! Thanks man!

[@justjamessmith8106]

Just picked up the Sony Rx100 V today in Munich for my amazing Europe trip after moving from the Canon G7X mark ii. Your Video was so helpful and seriously saved me a great deal of time. Cheers and keep up the tremendous videos :-) James

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

great video and thanks for the tips. I have a question, sometimes randimly when shooting video at night the quality comes out terrible, it looks like a 1980s tv show. Anything setting that I should have specifically on for night video? The videos also come out dark which make no sense since it has a 1.8 aperture. Thank you

[@GeorgeStar]

Very helpful setting up my RX100 III. On the Function Menu I use the top row for focus and the bottom for exposure.

[@AZHighlandHomestead]

10:00 done with first tab. wait, there are still all those tabs left?! 😳

[@alain1504]

Very useful tips ! Thx a lot for your smart advices ! I've just booked this amazing camera and I get it tomorrow. I'm very pleased to find your explained video about the very complete SONY menus.

[@rafacq]

Just bought my RX100V yesterday. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@DennisMathias]

Best menu ..function..explainer on youtube! I made a short cut to it. Wish it were in the camera!

[@brianmatiash]

Why thank you! I guess I should do more of these vids for my other cameras? Sony a7R III/a9?

[@smdani]

Great video, so useful for me. Thanks a lot

[@derekhackett2505]

Thank's Brian very informative. As i use a Sony A7 M2 as my main camera have just purchased the RX100V for a walk around camera to use when not shooting anything pacific as i always carry a camera and this saves on weight and i don't miss a shot (hopefully)

[@dsliving-dejansverko4516]

As a beginner I have a question about manual settings for video ( have a sony rx100 mark 5 )... on the last trip I did some videos in auto mode and the result was a disaster.. the trees I was filming looked just way to crispy and sharp ( probably due to a very high shutter speed,, was a very bright day.... now after some research I set it up like this ( shutter speed priority mode,, so it is locked (depending on fps) but the aperture is changing automatically ,,, 24 fps, shutter speed 1/50 ,, aperture auto,, ISO auto... but even when it gets to aperture 11f (max) it is still overexposed,, in the case like the drone I have, I would regulate this with ND filters,,, what can I do in this case??? isn t it better to keep just a locked shutter speed so the camera can regulate automatically the aperture for getting the right amount of light??? cause the light conditions are changing constantly...just when increasing the shutter speed to 1/200 the exposure is ok,, but then i have broken the rule of thumb (shutter speed 2x the fps ).. What actually happens when I turn the ND filter on on the camera??? please explain a bit how to keep the values and what to do when light conditions change,, thanks a lot in advance and sorry if some of the questions are stupid but I am just a beginner in manual settings for video))))

[@prettygerie6033]

I bought RX100 v recently, and I did not try yet.. thank you for the set up it will be helpful to me.

[@powertube5671]

Best Video yet! To the point, no yammering! I even used some of the info to set my older RX100. Thank you!

Shoot man, watching this in Aug 2020, still a great video!

[@charliewilson3234]

@@evoi9715 Would you dump it for the VII? I'm thinking about it but I still love the V

[@evoi9715]

@@charliewilson3234 no, I just purchased it (M5A) two weeks ago. I was considering the VII, but decided for the V because of aperture.

Brian. Excellent. Thank you.Hope you will some time talk about the audio side of your home and mobile video setup

[@brianmatiash]

[@tonysmithimages5258]

Hey Brian. I am using my Sony RX100v as a concert camera for still photos. What settings do you recommend in the "S" mode to compensate for low lighting and movement of the subject on stage. Obviously, the flash is not an option for me in these music venues.

[@sbmillward]

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you! 🙂

[@MoscowBaseStation]

Question , Can not lower ISO below 1600 in these settings " Gamma S-log2 " Why ?

[@brianmatiash]

MoscowBaseStation yeah, if you go into S-Log, you're limited to ISO 1600. Not sure why, TBH, but it's certainly a restriction.

[@MoscowBaseStation]

***** , thanks for your quick response.

[@2dimples_dad255]

Y slog means you are shooting in native ISO. No corrections. As a film maker, to correct for this you need ND filters or change your other filming parameters to get your desired look.

[@ThatOneMohamed]

How do I make the autofocus fast? It's slow for me and I'm confused because this camera is supposed to very fast right? Also how do I turn on eye autofocus?

[@Bmiller0319]

+Brian Matiash Great video. Thank you. Almost all of those made sense for me. It was also interesting to see some of the feature differences between the M5 and the M3 that I bought. I cheaped out and bought the M3 because I wasn't sure I would like this camera. I am taking it on vacation to Paris hoping that I will be happy enough with it to not carry my DSLR for travel unless it is a photography specific trip. I tried the A6000 which is a good enough camera but doesn't have any good zooms. The image quality is nearly identical between this camera and the much larger A6000. If I really like it I may return it when I get home and get the M5 instead.

[@biancaredmerski9905]

Hi do you know how to turn the flash on for videos ?

[@hanskitchen6914]

Thank you so much. This one was very helpful.

[@data811]

even on my A7ii, i cant set copyright info. nice to see it on the rx100v

[@jamskof]

fantastic video, much appreciated. now im stuck as to wether to get the iv or the v!

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

I have a hard time deciding which to buy: the V or VII. V for the faster lens and the VII for the mic input and upgrades in autofocus and so on.

[@brianmatiash]

I suppose it depends on what your primary use case is. If you’re mostly going to use it for taking photos, then the faster lens of the V may be more advantageous. The mic input is great if you’re planning on recording video/vlogs. I don’t recall the AF on the V being bad, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about that.

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

@@brianmatiash Mainly photos and very little video… thanks, made the decision easier.

[@boborrett2974]

very helpful. wow, there is so much I missed and I've owned this camera for several months. I love it btw.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Ok I know how to use the viewfinder …pull up..pull back. Can you adjust the electronic though as I have short sighted in my right eye. How do I adjust the strength of the EVF ?

[@GeorgeStar]

There's a little lever on the top of the VF. Look closely it's easy to miss.

[@LostUndertheSky]

I just got my rx100m5. I’m adjusting the settings now base on your suggestions in this video

[@AbdulazizAsiry]

6 years now and I am still using this camera and it works perfectly however , I never knew how to get a good isolation and have a portrait effect, I always do my photos with the profiles that are suggested by the camera as adapted to each situation, night portatrait, sciences et etc... And between the two Automode I use always intelligent auto is Superior Auto better Can you give me some suggestion to get excellent isolation of the subject and get a nice photos with good portait effect behind them

[@NanonerMcKologico]

Single focus point to the eye of the subject. Use the biggest aperture as f/1.8. There are more settings so I would recommend you to watch tutorials.

[@rolandbland6736]

Great Info! Looking forward to the M6 Video...

[@julio1982]

very helpful and useful video thanks

[@nowaytoinvent]

great video Brian! One thing I didn't quite get is the HFR Rec Timing...what's the difference between start trigger and end trigger...?

[@bobblue_west]

Excellent. Did you have the wheel on top set to AUTO while you were changing the settings? (My settings windows looked a bit different, more like IV, and some were grayed out when you could alter them.) V.much liked the way you displayed the window large on the computer screen. Easy to see and follow.

[@jimleon7894]

Best of any I have seen.

[@pixeldawg]

Brian Do you use anything else to make the camera LCD sharing possible? I've heard about "OBS" broadcasting software or is the El Gato enough? Thanks

[@rickbroderick9146]

Brian, I am a true amateur getting by on auto on my first gen RX100 for years, and have finally realized it's like driving a ferrari in first gear...This was certainly by far the best and most succinct explanation of best settings I've come across as well. Can you recommend any other great videos making the basics of photography to neophytes re: aperture, iso, metering etc. and finally does using the Mark V make sense for shooting video with a gimbaled stabilized mounted interior for dash shooting of off road driving landscape capture...Or does it make sense to get a different camera for a non pro to get the kind of quality I'm seeking for a video series. It's a lot, and thanks for any and all info you may impart... I've had trouble finding such a mount at all for interior use...would really hate to lose a thousand dollar camera on some mountain forest road.Rick Broderick

[@tugboat8475]

That's a great review of the camera. Do you shoot in auto supreme or manual etc? Cheers

[@PaulCiura]

Great tips. I'm using the A7II, so I will go through my settings and check a couple options that you pointed out. Forgot to ask last time, what are you using for editing your video?

[@Lizerator]

Thanks so much. Very helpful.

[@tombridge3608]

very much appreciated, explanations always help and I've copied one or two of your settings; also have a better understanding for future tweaks and a clearer monitor/viewfinder.

[@robkuijer]

Thanx Brian, very helpfull !!!

[@chrisjacksonjones1800]

Brian. Great vid. Thanks. I went for the Mk3 recently. I just couldn't stretch to the higher models. Do you think there is much difference between the latest 3 models for video?

[@WhoobieD]

is it possible to download the extras from play memories anymore? such as the timelapse feature? Pretty sure play memories isn't supported any longer by Sony. I am able to get all the way to the end of the purchasing process when I press "agree and continue with purchase" nothing happens. Tried to do it on my computer but I'm running Big Sur on my Mac (of course it won't run on Big Sur) Phone app does won't even connect to the Camera, cant even transfer a photo (samsung S21 Ultra) I think all my tech is to new. Any suggestions? thanks in advance

[@brianmatiash]

No, I don't think so. I believe that Sony fully shut down Play Memories along with access to those little apps. :(

[@bobinjc]

Thank you!

[@ChadScottHere]

It's there a way to take stand by function off movie mode.. I record in XAVC S 4K and in a 10 or so minutes of recording.. it will go into stand by mode.. I have to see that and push the record button again. it happen 2x already

[@pault008]

Chad Scott I believe it's a set restriction. My 4K stops at 5 minutes

[@ChadScottHere]

Thanks, I been recording on the next lower level now and it been working fine now. Thanks again

[@pault008]

Brian - I'm trying to work out (unsuccessfully so far) why sometimes (in movie mode) I can shoot at 100 ISO and why sometimes it will only shoot at 125 ISO and I'm unable to lower it to 100. Any ideas?

[@dmitrykresin258]

Can I choose 120fps or 240fps is the minimal option?

[@TRAVELWP]

I sometimes want to zoom past 70mm. If the camera is set for RAW, you cannot do this. If you set for jpg or jpg fine, you can zoom to 280mm.

[@ChadwickFamilyFilms]

What kind of strap do you like for the rx100 v?

I'm new to the rx100 series... Recently sold my a7 and lenses to pick up the RX100V... My question is this... Is it possible to program/preset the lens for say 24, 35, 50 and 70mm so as to not have to fiddle trying to make the adjustments for quick shooting. Cheers d

[@BusterDarcy]

Donovan Mahoney Also wondering this.

[@DavidLormans]

Donovan Mahoney Yes you can. Set the front ring to step zoom.

[@DonovanMahoney]

David Lormans awesome! life changing actually. I was getting really frustrated because I'd sold my Sony a7 35, 55, 85mm lens so I could travel light... Was getting pretty frustrated and stopped shooting... So thank you for getting me back on track. just set it up. life changing for real!

[@gabrielboisvert3733]

Maybe you can help me, but I followed through and still don't get this one thing. My camera is turning on the slowmotion automatically about 40 second after starting shooting video... Haven't been able to point out why, in the high framerate setting, there is no setting to when it should start. I'm doing video's where I am talking to the camera not even mooving, I don't need slowmotion at all, but it seems to just turn itself on for no reason. Can someone help me with this? I would prefer turning slowmotion completely off, I will probably never use it. Thank you in advance. :) (I will write a reply here with my other account ''Paradis sur Terre'' so that you have a view of how I use my camera, if anyone has any recommendations, I appreciate fully, thank you everyone and thank you Brian) Another thing, I really love how you explain in this video, very straight forward going through the settings, very well explained.

[@paradissurterre7675]

Here is the account that I do my video's with. If you want to go check the video's :) all done with the sony rx100 mark 5 (Now trying to optimize the settings for the steady video's i'm making :)

[@gabrielboisvert3733]

(I'm recording in movie mode manual.)

[@gabrielboisvert3733]

I have found the answer by playing with it. I had made a false association. My camera was shutting down due to overheating, I though the sign showed on the camera was about slowing down. The slow motion occured because of recording in 120P, my computer interpreted this as a video that can be slowed down and did it automatically, but could be stopped, it was not the camera doing it. It shows that 120p is a good quality for a slowd down video I guess. :) Now have to set my settings to be sure my camera doesn't overheat :)

Thanks for this info, now what gimbal i should buy next? i want something good and cheap because im not going into something really profesional or expensive have a nice day!
