thank you so much for this! this is my first sony camera and i feel like the only videos on youtube are telling users to not buy this camera and to just buy the a7iii. no one has featured what the camera can potentially do and how to use it best.
omg, thank you sooooo muuuuuch. I just got a 2nd hand Sony A7C as my first camera EVER and i was getting overwhelmed with so many things and didnt know how to personalize the menus and now that i know that is possible and seeing how you do it its going to make the camera waaay more fun to use!
thank you for this video!!!!!!!! note: responsive isn't referring to speed, I know you kind of said that in the following sentence about the lock on, it's just how much change in the frame is required to make it change focus target
6:26 I've spend a whole day trying to figure out how you set up this shortcut centre button to track focus. Is there any tutorial on your channel on how to do it?
Hey Julia! So the only other custom buttons I generally have is basically aperture priority mode with a minimum auto iso, which is nice and lets the brains of the Sony do its thing. My next mode is the same thing, but basically a version of manual mode with focus peaking on. I am not too fussy with the custom buttons. My shortcuts are very similar to use, but I just use what I think feels intuitive. I do have the Play Memories mobile app on my favourites as it's a nice remote shooter while still being able to see the screen (maybe you could try a video on this?). I'm on a a7iii still and love the body of the a7c, but cannot justify the upgrade as photography is not my day job....yet.
Wow! Searched to see if you had posted any new videos, and this video was posted 1 minute ago! 😳😳😳 I don’t have notifications on for any channels either
What a super professionel and informative video. Thanks. So nice to see a skilled "RU-vidr" with content, and not just click bait not mention iJustine :-)
Love the video Julia, and love the Sony A7C for photography! Since I don't shoot video, I also use the record button as an extra custom button. I think compact lenses with aperture rings are perfect for the A7C, like the Sony 35 f1.4. Have you heard of the new Sigma I series lenses? Would love to hear your thoughts on the 35 f2 and 65 f2 if you get a chance!
I have been using a new piece of tech for the last few months on all of my shoots that I am really loving! I haven’t seen anyone use or review it yet on RU-vid either, and was thinking it could make a really cool video if you were interested, before it became widely known if you were keen to try it out some time!
Even when I have the continuous active track on why does it not always keep the green box around my eye? If I have it on a tripod and I am moving around I am not able to hit the button when it is recording.
Thank you Julia :) I shoot video most of the time, so looking forward to your next vlog. On shooting video on the A7c, Looking at changing. From Lumix G9 to Sony, but not sure what Sony yet.
Great video! I use about the same style of focus modes. Except the flexible spot I use the large one more often depending on what I need to do haha great info Julia!
as always, helpful. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i welcome any thoughts you have about using the A7C with flash/off camera flash. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Brilliant video, thanks. I use the same camera. Could you please advise on the best video settings if videos are made indoors using natural light only, but the light isn't strong enough so the resulting video is rather dark? A small comment/answer will be much appreciated, thanks so much 🙂
Hiii it would rlly help if you could review the canon t7 or canon2000d please I want to begin photography and by a beginner not to expensive camera also love you videos I ask you because you are the best at reviewing cameras
No I'm sorry I never ended up uploading it!! I had it filmed and then just never got around to editing it because I got distracted with other projects and eventually it seemed too late to upload. I have since uploaded my A7IV video setup though which is pretty much the same as how I have my A7C set up.
I didn’t end up posting it, I got too busy with other projects at the time unfortunately. I have since uploaded my A7IV video setup which is pretty much the same as how I have the A7C set up :)
I am leaning on picking this camera up over an A73 for video and a B stills camera with my smaller lenses (24mm). For portrait shoots - should I be concerned with just the one memory card slot?
