Setting up the Sony RX100 to Shoot Video 

You are still helping some of us after 6 years. Thanks!

I needed a refresher as I hadn't shot video for a long time and this video was straightforward and to the point, great work thanks.

Good video Grant - thanks.

This is the most comprehensive video on the rx100 iv. I just subscribed as a thank you.

Wow! This video is amazing. I own that camera since a few weeks and wanted to start vlogging with while travelling. Thank you so much!

Man I tried those settings & it looks marvelous, it just sucks that there is a 5 minute limit to 4k.😢

Thanks for the video! Cleared up some confusion. I just picked one up for a lighter weight video camera and the menu and settings from the factory were very confusing. Quite the change from nikon. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for doing this. The manual is crap. This demo shows where everything is. I haven't purchased the camera yet, but will in a few days, and I'll be back to watch again after I get the camera.

This guy know his stuff

Fantastic video mate. Well done.

Thank you for this video. Could you make a video for the latest RX100 VII please？

Thanks greatly for this! I just got an RX100 (not an Mark IV unfortunately) but I still enjoyed watching this :)

I wish all instructional videos were like this. Still learning this camera. It is loaded! I have the model 5 but could follow along okay. Seems the 5 has MORE selections so I had to jump around a little. Looking forward to the more in depth video (couldn't find it) AUDIO..I see what you did with your mics..covering them up. What did you use and how well do they work?

Some very useful tips. Thanks! 🙂

Just bought this used; thanks, a million for the tutorial. 👍

This walkthru is a masterpiece.

Thanks Grant. Just got the mark V. This video saved me hours! Appreciated! You mentioned a more comprehensive guide coming. Have you done that yet?

Do you use the 180 degree shutter speed rule for your shutter speed. So if your shooting at 30fps, do you use 1/60th of a second? And does this camera follow the 180 rule when it has to auto pick a shutter speed?

Thanks for the help! I can't wait to start shooting some video. ( just got the camera)

wow, great video! thanks for answering pretty much all my questions about this camera. now i need to sell off some of my old gear and use the proceeds to buy this sony.

Fantastic! Just a beginner here so this has really helped! 👍🏻👍🏻

thanks! works great for me so far!

Very helpful information. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Extremely useful info! Thank you!

Thank you so much and I appreciate the time you have put in these videos. Which settings do you typically use when shooting movies - Program Auto, Aperture, Shutter or Manual? Any tips for those settings would be appreciated. Thank you.

Great show ! Answered all questions !

You helped me a lot with this video!! Thank you so much for this

Top review mate Edit: I have just started vlogging and I got this camera. This video will definitely help me a lot. Keep up the good work.

thank you so much for this video! good explain

Fantastic video. Thanks!

I just bought the mark v can't wait to get it 😀

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful

Thanks Grant. Very helpful and well presented. Cheers.

Great video man! Really learned a lot and cant wait to mess with the camera when it arrives!

Thanks for the tutorial, most helpful.

Good settings. Mine were slightly different but I think yours make more sense so I'm switching them :) Thanks!

Great video Grant!

When Im in manual movie mode it seems like only AFC and MF are my only options when I choose a picture profile to get professional video and the LCD goes very dim why is this? Am i doing something wrong. I would like to use eye n face detect in manual?

Such a useful video! Thanks

Very helpful. I recently made a 4K video on my channel. A lot of people don't like working with 4K because of the file sizes and some computers just can't cope with editing them. I had no problem. The 4K quality is so noticeably superior, that I find for outdoor recording a better investment. Do you ever record in 4K. Also, what material did you use to cover the speakers? and did you cover the actual hole or just beside it?

is it poss you can do this for the Sony RX 100 VI as its slightly different?

Hey Grant, thanks for sharing this detailed video. Since I am a beginner and would be travelling a lot, I plan to get a single cam that does both video and photo and might go with this instead of Canon G7x M2. Between these 2 cams, can you please let me know which takes a better picture? Secondly, can you take a picture in between recording a video on this cam?

I am toying with the idea of getting one of these as a compact 'every day carry' (against my DSLR) for video and also as an emergency back-up for my kit (should something disastrous happen with my DSLR). Do you think that this seems a sensible choice? What kind of 'shallow focus' control do you have with this camera (is there full manual aperture control)? Cheers!

Thanks for this review, very informative. Can you suggest how to reduce video noise that I have with RX100 V when shooting indoors with bad lighting... with slog2 the minimal ISO is 1600 and there are a lot of noise especially on black areas. On all youtube reviews everyone says this is a great camera for low light and there are a lot of low light tests that are really great. My RX100V shoots really bad in low light... I tried all settings, really don't know what's the problem. Any ideas?

its not the rx100 like you sayed in your title !!! its rx100 IV

Hi Grant, thanks for this setup video. Would these settings be similar on the RX100 V?

Does Intell Active Mode crop the video? Great video thanks for sharing your settings. J

hello there! i want to ask you if you can shot a video with rx100v at 4k30fps more than 5 minutes and if stabilization is available there..

I’m have. Sony rx100 V1. I need to make a 20 minute video BUT I’ve noticed that at 4K setting it will stop recording because of heat issues. What setting should I use?

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I have had my RX100v for quite some time now but it was mostly used on stills thus far. I'm trying to learn how to shoot videos now and make the most of this featured packed camera. So your video is invaluable in helping me kick start my new learning. Q1 : As I was following and copying your settings, I find the camera becomes quite hot. Is this normal? Q2: Your setting is on movie mode, but the 100V has an HFR mode - what is the difference. Q3: When doing normal shooting in movie mode, is it correct that if I want to trigger the slow mo, I should hit the movie button a second time? wouldn't that turn off the shooting? Thanking you in advance.

Thanks for the awesome video. I have one irritating problem which I don't know how to change; I constantly end up changing my shutter speed or aperture settings by accidentally touching the control wheel. I thought "wheel lock" would take care of this but, doesn't. Is there a way to change this? Thanks again for all your awesome videos! 😊👍

Can take photos while recording?

With this camera can you use Wifi to send a 5 minute video to your mobile phone to be used on RU-vid or Facebook etc

nice video! please change the title sony-RX100 to sony-RX100M4

Great, this has helped me very much indeed thank you.

Thank you so much

can we connect them to external monitor ?

Thanks for going into such detail. Been thinking about purchasing the RX100 mark iv for slow motion video as a second camera for my 70d. In terms of 1080p at 120fps, how does the Sony compare to the GoPro Hero4 Black? Thanks.

First off, awesome video. I scored a used rx100iv and been playing with it for a couple of days now. I’m struggling with focus in video mode. I Don’t like using continuous auto focus but the only other viable option seems to be manual focus. Which i find a bit tricky even with peaking (the front wheel focus throw is too short and unreliable). Is there a way to get auto focus lock and then transition into manual during shooting? This is how i shoot on pro cameras and is my preferred run and gun setup.

am new to video and have the Mark 5 on its way to me. Are there any major differences to consider when setting the camera up please?

Hi, Grant, thanks for the detailed explanation. Wanted to ask, for RX100 mark V, are you able to customize the shutter speed for video? For instance, shooting 1080p 23fps with shutter speed specifically as 1/50s. (I assume shutter speed can be passively lower by using ND filter, but that’s not the customization I need) Thank you.

This is M4. Mention that in your heading.

Thanks so much !

Great video!

just sub on your channel,my RX100 MARK IV will come this thursday this tutorial is a big help for me..thnak you

Thanks for this vid!

hi grant. do you know if theres a shortcut for the focus magnifier ?

tha bomb thanks man

Bardzo dobry film!

Can I record on a 34GB? How do I set to record with with card?

Do you know if the steady shot modes crop and or degrade the image or video quality?

Hi. . Im very new to the camera world, I bought his camera and recorded with AVCHD .. but i cant for the life of me edit this video onmy mac.. any tips for this? What format and setting should i record with without losing video quality?

Not gonna lie it's great information. But I find it an overwhelming amount of things to do to prepare video. And that maybe for just a short clip. Then all these settings maybhavento change for another shot. I mean what your saying is great, it's just demotivating in my mind, the amount of things to remember.

Thx for helpful and brief how to.. Still don't like Sony (too deep( menu system v.s. Panasonic. Oh well

RX 100 ???

good tips / THX

Great video, I tried my best to follow along where I could however the title is misleading please change it to RX100 M4 or IV as I own the Sony RX100 I which this video title refers to! I can't be the only one who finds this annoying..

Sony RX100 V doesn't shoot XAV-C, but XAVC-S.

Useful. Thank you.

WTF! mark IV, not mark I !!

Not RX100!!

What could be a reason to shoot in NTSC if you shoot video for modern monitors, televisions or internet streaming?In NTSC you get less colorspace, a lower framerate for high speed shooting and less color accuracy. Thats the reason people call NTSC Never The Same Color. I can go with all your setting except for the NTSC part.

Nice video, but misleading title. I found it not useful at all.

1MB 1Mb/s 1MB = 1 megabyte 1Mb = 1 megabit 1MB = 8Mb

Dude change the title of this video. it's not that difficult

the setting enormously a burden.... too much

Such a useful video! Thanks
