Finally i was getting worried i hadn't gotten a notification for a new toms video 😮 Haha! Great video mate like always, straight to the point information. Love it 😊

[@TomsJurjaks]

Heeey Lars, travels put a dent in the video production, but I am curious, did you get the notification or not? Something odd is happening with the notification lately

[@Lars_Olsen]

@@TomsJurjaks hey mate, I think I've only ever gotten 2 notifications from your channel since I subscribed. I have to keep going into KZbin notifications to see if you have posted something new. And I have the bell checked for all notifications too 😕

@@Lars_Olsen thats really upsetting 😕 no wonder why I am getting a lower traffic recently, but thanks for letting me know.

[@MichTheo]

I'm not yet an a6700 owner, but this was very comprehensive and I have obviously saved it for future reference. Can you share a bit more about your experience regarding overheating, especially during video work. Because that's a limiting factor for me so far, regarding a purchase, especially as I live on an Aegean island

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Michalis, thanks for the nice comment. So I live in Algarve where it’s constantly hot. I’ve used about 6 different Sony cameras in the last 2 years here and never even has a warning of camera overheating. Honestly I think it’s a myth. Just set the threshold to high and you will be good to go.

[@sergiubn]

@@TomsJurjaks I also Own a ZV E10 and I am looking to upgrade, I was looking at A6700 and FX30. I would like to get the A6700 and I am hesitant regarding the overheating. I would use 4k60 and 4K30, lower bitrate to save on drive space. From what you say it might be ok, do you think it matters if you choose lower bitrate vs higher for overheating? Thank you very much for the video, really well done!

[@TomsJurjaks]

I can certainly tell you - go with the a6700. Just last week I was filming with my buddy with 4K60 and he accidentally changed the cameras setting to 600mbits and I stuffed my 128GB Sd card in less than an hour. It was mad hot outside, like more than 30C. The camera was hotter than usually but no warnings or shutdowns. Amazing performance

[@Spatarini]

hi thanks for the video, I would like to ask you why you recommend the Tamron 17-70 and then in your setup you use a Sony lens? (18-105)?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thats actually 24-105mm G lens. A full frame lens for my Sony A7IV which I occasionally put on the A6700 - in this case "just for the looks". I mostly use the 17-70 on A6700 :)

[@marior2448]

Hi, Inoiticed that under the Picture profiles you seem to have some options, like Gamma, etc. I don’t get that on my camera. Do you have an idea why? Thanks.

[@alifstarfath]

thanks for sharing this! I get my setup now!

[@TomsJurjaks]

Awesome! Good luck mate

[@Poepopdestoep]

With variable shutter you can set it to 1/48. I know it's a small difference, but i like it :)

[@thienpq]

I have question, how you capture your a6700 screen ?

[@averagejoe6451]

Still image with a video inserted on to it or u could physically film camera but cut the bits where you hand is shown

[@zazyczech]

Well - NTSC is not because of frame rates. It depends on the region of usage. And sometmies it's related to frequency of moinotrs and bulbs.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Very correct, however I have set all my cameras to NTSC to unlock "more frames" even though in Europe we are supposed to use PAL. Sometimes there is a bit of flicker, but its manageable.

[@jaymills1720]

Insane ! What’s the longest before overheating ?

[@TomsJurjaks]

I haven’t hit the limit yet. I was recording for more than an hour and it never turned off. I don’t think overheating is a problem

[@laughingthrushmusic5269]

@@TomsJurjaks where are you recording 4K 24 ?

[@TomsJurjaks]

@@laughingthrushmusic5269 4K24 is definitely not a problem. The craziest was shooting 4K60 with 600mbit/s for like an hour with short breaks to change the scenes. Yes camera was hot, obviously, outside was really hot and in settings, temp was also set to high, but it did not overheat.

[@jer3006]

Toms, is there no Transcript uploaded for this video? Don't see the usual link.

[@seemerollin675]

Hey mate, thanks again i just got my a6700 ! You helped me a lot with your setup! Only one more thing, can you recommend an SD Card? Does it have to be a v90 or is v60 enough?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks a lot my friend! It can be V60 but you won’t be able to record in all formats/bitrates so its better to invest in V90

Thank you so much for your time and effort. Cant wait to start filming. Br PK

[@LoftyOriginal]

Heya, love the video 👍 Just wanted to comment on your interpretations of the 180 degree rule. The 180 degree rule is not related to the cameras shutter speed or shutter angle (although on a film camera you’d typically set the shutter angle at 180 degrees) but related to two characters or a character and an object. I’m sure you know this better than I do but if a character within your film is engaged with another character or object it is important that the scene (with exception) is filmed from the same side as it started, essentially don’t cross over the actors shoulders, stay on one side of them (ideally shadow side ;). and all will be good. There are many examples of this rule being broken and working well but it has a habit of causing confusion in the audience on positioning within the scene, so stick to the 180 degree rule and have fun filming :)

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey there, thanks a lot! And you are 100% right. What you just explained is exactly that - The 180 degree rule and you are also completely right that I was referring to the 180° shutter angle rule which I conveniently shortened to more confusing term of 180° rule 😀 My bad. Thanks for pointing that out though, because I actually googled and see that someone trying to learn more about it might got confused.

[@vustatube]

Just got this camera myself. do you have any videos of how to use it for a beginner noob, more for photography than video.

[@MAtravelvideos]

Thank you so much. Can you help me with this question. We copied all of your suggestions to the A6700 camera. Now we are recording some footage in Thailand and next week in the Philippines. When we look back on the footage from Thailand all the shots that were created in daylight are almost completely white (24fps 1/50) when we increase the shutter speed the scenery will appear. And when recording in night the artificial lights are flickering, so the whole image is flickering as well. Can you help with a solution?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Sure - you must have forgotten to use a VND (Variable ND Filter) - basically sunglasses for the camera. Its a must in a daytime. Regarding flickering, there is an anti-flicker function in A6700 but not sure how well it works. Other solution is to change your shutter speed (increase by double) but thats not ideal at night. Last resort is to change from PAL to NTSC or vice versa (depending on the country), But be aware - doing it will FORMAT your SD card

[@seemerollin675]

Thanks for the video man! Looking forward to upgrade to the a6700 from my good old a6000. The only thing im worried about is if my laptop(dell xps15) can handle the high video quality of the a6700...

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks buddy! Proxies is your solution. My previous Mac was kinda slow, but enabling proxies saved me sooo many headaches. The only thing is the export time for longer videos. I would sometimes just leave it overnight lol 😂

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks so much Josh, I appreciate it! Oh ZV-E10 is a great camera. What do you feel like you are missing? A6700 is an upgrade, but maybe not that huge. IBIS definitely helps and the sold build quality too, plus the new sensor is great for photos. I probably wouldn’t go with the Full Frame tho, so… a6700? Im super happy with it

Can you explain how to shoot portrait videos for Instagram reel in sony a6700

Sure, I would say nothing much changes by shooting anything else. I recommend using a prime lens to make your subject be better separated from background and you can shoot either horizontally (and then crop vertically for instagram) or shoot vertically from the get go.

idk if anyone can help but i just got the 6700 and when i try to open the videos on my computer the only thing that comes up is the audio is anyone else have this problem???

[@phatsama5942]

Yup I got you. Means you shot on a format your computer / program can’t process. If you used XAVC HS (I think it’s the 2nd one) that’s an h.265 format. Not all programs can run/render that. So switch to either of the other ones and you should be good.

[@bruceleepazzo1234]

My Sony a6700 give me a problem! Using the log I can't activate the profile picture pp10. If I want it I need to deactivate the log. Can someone help me?😢

[@Netaction]

At 10:43 you say everything above 100 is clipped. If you read the manual or test your statements yourself, you will know the correct value.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Correct. And it is true for certain Picture Profiles. 100+ was just an example and if you look closely - I wrote in the video that S-Log3's (which I use the most) Lower Limit Should be set to Aprox 94+. I also attached a video to Harv's video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3eTmqZrdsmSfsk) where he explains in VERY fine detail how each profile should be exposed. So thank you for your comment, I did my research and hope it wont confuse anyone. If it does, here is the summary based on Harv's tests if someone is curious: Cine1 - 109% Cine2 - 100% Cine3 - 109% Cine4 - 109% S-Cinetone - 109% S-LOG 2 - 106% S-LOG 3 - 94% HLG - 100% HLG1 - 87% HLG2 - 95% HLG3 - 100%

[@Pawan-hl1gm]

In my sony 6700 50 and 100 fps showing not 60 and 125 fps why

[@TomsJurjaks]

Its because of the FORMAT. You need to watch the video again more carefully, I believe I disclose that in like first 1 or 2 minutes of the video

[@Poepopdestoep]

It's in PAL mode, switch it to NTSC

[@sun-man]

Shouldn't you choose PAL if you live in a PAL country?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Technically yes, but then you can’t unlock all the framerates as in NTSC. I personally don’t see any downside of not using PAL

[@sun-man]

@@TomsJurjaks I'll stick with PAL. I only use 25fps anyway

What no one tells you about 10bit 4.2.2 - You will need to pay a steep price for paid davinci to be able to even use those files.

Really? In Adobe Premiere Pro (which is what Ive always used) there is no extra cost besides the always steep monthly subscription fee 😅

[@WhatThePheel]

@@TomsJurjaks Good to know that Adobe Premiere Pro works with 10bit files. I guess it's a battle between paying a 1 time price of $299 or paying a subscription of about $269 per year for Adobe. But yes, steep price either way for us free users.
