I bought the a6000 body only watching your videos. Saving up for the lens now!

[@cjm8160]

I keep binge watching Sony a6700 videos! I’m just waiting for the right price before jumping into the Sony ecosphere. Thank you for this video Toms!!

[@SteveAtwal]

I thought I was the only one doing that! LOL. KZbin also keeps serving me more Sony a6700 videos since it has learnt that I keep watching them. LOL

Hey Toms, great video. Any chance you could tell me where did you get that skin for your camera ? Min 16:34. Thanks

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks a lot buddy! Yes sir, I got from camskns.com years ago and it still holds up well

I was looking forward to this vid. Time to study with the master! I'll probably watch this a few times and save it for reference. One thing: don't you think that compressed raw is a fine choice for a casual user?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks Michalis. Probably you can shoot compressed, but here are few things to keep in mind from Sony: - Once an image is stored in a Compressed RAW format it cannot be decompressed, meaning that the image will lose some of its data; - This format is recommended when you want to shoot continuously at the maximum speed or limit the file size; - It is the smallest RAW image file size. I don't remember how significant was the file size image, but at the time of testing this for my A7IV, I decided that Losless Compression is the middle ground (A7IV has also uncompressed with massive file size, which I never use).

@TomsJurjaks thank you for your useful reply ❤

I tried the back button focus but I encounter one problem: my setting for reviewing the pics is to go to the point of focus (so I can see immediately if the focus was correct) but when using back button focus, that review/zoom point is it on the point where I did the back button focus but instead the centre of the frame. Sony a6700

[@1010AllOne]

Can you provide th link to the focus setting video please?

Hi, thanks of the great video! But I don't understand the benefit of the back button focusing. You say that as long as you hold the AF button it will focus...so what's the difference with that and half press on the shutter button? I must not be understanding some important difference 🙂

[@TomsJurjaks]

@@1010AllOne thanks! The difference is that with back button focus I can focus on a subject with back button focus, release it, then reframe the shot (focus is still on the subject) and then I can fire away my shots and focus won’t change. Now, if I would have my focus on shutter, it would refocus every time I want to take a photo unless I switch to manual focus. With Back Button focus I don’t need to do it

[@1010AllOne]

@@TomsJurjaks thank you. Forgive me for going deeper, but, if the focus is so fast on the camera then what difference does it make if the camera refocuses? Sorry, I’m really trying to properly understand that function.

[@TomsJurjaks]

@ no worries, im here to help 🙂 its not about the speed but rather accuracy. Imagine you are doing a street photography. You see an old gentleman sitting on a bench reading newspaper on a busy street. Lots of people walk buy, cars drive in front (you are taking a photo across the street). Now you have focus on your subject while he was in the middle of the frame, but you want to use rule of thirds and want him on a side. If you would not have back button focus - most likely camera would refocus on totally different subject (usually in the middle of the frame or to whats closer to you). So not about the speed but what you want. With Back Button - I can just take photos without refocusing. There are more examples why I prefer it but its not for everyone. Some prefer focus with shutter 🙂

[@1010AllOne]

@@TomsJurjaks okay I get what you’re saying. So when I am in the same situation that you described, I half press and my focus locks on the the gentlemen with the newspaper and because I have it on tracking, it stays on him while I reframe. Is that the same thing then?

[@TomsJurjaks]

@ yes, and then you can usually take just one photo because as soon as you release the shutter, it will refocus (unless you have mad skills to keep it half pressed) while with back button focus you can just snap photos, take a pause, reframe, take more photos etc

[@Chris-wv8cn]

Is it useful to set my settings to lossless compression if I want to take a lot of sports photos?

[@TomsJurjaks]

@@Chris-wv8cn if you want a bigger buffer then set it to Compressed. You will lose a bit of quality, but will be able to burst for longer. To maximize the quality- stick with lossless compression

Do you know if the difference between the Sony a6700 and the Sony a7iv is noticeable during the day?

[@TomsJurjaks]

I have both cameras and besides the better resolution (33mp vs 26mp), you won’t see significant improvement in quality in good conditions. I actually made a comparison video recently A6700 vs A7CII which should give you a pretty good understanding of they are capable of: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3zbpmOIpquBkMk

[@Chris-wv8cn]

@ Is this just video clips or also with taking photos?

[@TomsJurjaks]

I find A6700 to be better in daily light not because of video quality but because it has 4K120fps, 4K60 without crop and all the new AI features. A7IV feels a tiny bit outdated but its still amazing with full HDMI port, full frame sensor, 2 cards etc
