Oh my god, thank you SO much, no idea why RU-vidrs spend twenty minutes talking about nothing when they should get straight to what we're actually there to watch.
At around 2:20 in this video it would have been very helpful for beginners to verbally point out that you must have the main camera dial set in a mode such as Aperture mode. If your dial is set on Auto this video will be frustrating as many of the options covered will be grayed out and "unavailable".
Purchased Sony A6300 4 days back and it was rocket science to me. but you made things so easy. A big Thank you to you, looking forward for more videos from your end
Thank you very much for the helpful and informative video, just bought the a6300 and these Sony menus are not the easiest one to understand, followed your video and set up the camera.
Thanks Mark. Great you give the REASONS why you'd choose all these settings and WHAT it does in the a6300's brain, in so short a time. I look forward to all your other videos.
Mark awesome video I learned a lot. For instance Long Exposure NR, I had no idea what it did. I just wished you would have explained every single menu there. thanks!
Movie options in 4K are 24p super35 or 30P regular in both 60 and 100Mbit in north america. I like to use the back button focus as I find it more intuitive to separate the exposure lock and AF. I find pre-AF to be useful and leave it on.
Can you please help me. I have the Sony A6300. When I came to look at my ISO settings the first camera icon and menu number four and then scrolled down to ISO - clicked on ISO Auto - Right to get to the minimum ISO I wished to set - but it is stuck on ISA 800 - I can go higher but it won’t let me go any lower to say ISO 100 The maximum ISO is seemingly working OK - although having said that it starts at ISO 800 and goes up to ISO 51200 Have I developed a fault on the camera or inadvertently clicked on something which is preventing me going below ISO 800? Would welcome your advice and hopefully solution to resolve . - Many thanks
you skipped custom settings page 6 In 23:23 , in regards to the a6300 what's up with the custom setting option page 2 page 6? it says af system you normally can choose between contrast af or phase detection but its greyed out, why? it also is invalid with the lens it becomes white when I exit face registration but then after 2 seconds its grey again, to help its where it says s auto image extract page 6 custom settings
Very helpful video. I just want to share that i bought a used a6300 and i have followed each step as you told. But when i enter my date/time settings after going in the sub menus. The (enter) icon wont appear after adjusting the date. Could u help me? Pls Thanks for the video
Everything I shoot has noticeable grain to it. I'm not using slog I'm using cine 2 with cinema color and sharpness -7 with no other changes to pp5. No matter what I try video always looks grainy in the shadows. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong? I'm not going over iso 800.
Hey man. I did this set up and found it very useful thankyou. Only problem I’m hoping you can help me with, is every time I switch from M to 1 or 2 the aperture is always at 5.6 so the start of my footage is very over exposed. What can you suggest to help this? Thanks
skinnyFATtravel - if you are shooting movies in full sun with the shutter speed set to 1/50 second then you either need to set the memory to f/16 or use an ND filter. An ND 32 would allow you to record at f/4 or f/5.6 without overexposing.
Mark Galer's Alpha Creative Skills thanks so much!! How do i set the aperture to memory again? I seemed to get all the shutter speed and frame rate but maybe missed aperture
minute 13:11 I'm not sure it's correct coz I believe that with this camera Steady Shot is for pictures but not for videos, or does it depend on the lens?
SteadyShot is for both but is dependent on the lens being used on the A6300 (it must be an OS lens) - in the 6500 they added SteadyShot inside the camera so it is not dependent on the lens.
Brother I can't speak English so please give e book for 6400 I am from India I can't join your course I hve earlier set all setting as your e book but sony service centre reset all setting so I want again to give me e book reply soon brother
Hi Mark, thank you so much. I need your help, please12:58 (Steady Shot) Mine doesn't work as my camera says invalid lens no matter which lens I change to.
Thank you very much for the informative video.This is my first mirror lees camera: Question: When shooting in M mode and ISO mode in AUTO mode, I can't adjust the light meter? Is it legal?
I have an issue with getting custom setting recall...everytime I format my memory card all my custom recall files are gone...is this what happens. What if i change cards? are all my custom settings gone?
1 and 2 get saved to the camera the others beginning with M get saved to the card. If you store these on a computer you can add them back to the card after formatting.
Great Video;thanks for this..I am new to the A6300 and reset it to use these setting. One thing I cant work out though is how to change the shutter speed when in aperture priority...I watched your Portrait video and and want to use your S.A.F.E method but cant change the shutter speed to 1/60 or faster...I cant find it anywhere now THe dial is For changing the Fstop and I previously used the joystick to change the shutter speed but this seems to be F stop too now Sorry for being stupid Thanks Mark
Use a setting called ISO AUTO Min SS - this prevents your shutter speed dropping below the minimum you set so long as it does not compromise exposure. Put this setting in the Fn menu for quick access.
Hi Mark great video👍. I was just wondering you know the part you skipped on HDMI settings, what is that actually for as I can’t find much info on it? Thanks
Mark Galer's Alpha Creative Skills Oh great stuff so it’s just to do with that! I’m a newbie to video so didn’t have a clue. Thanks very which for the quick reply and your advice🙌
Thanks. Great video btw. Most cameras these days usually have a pixel mapping or pixel refresh to take care of dead pixels on the sensor. I don't think I saw it on the menu but I did skip through a few sections :)
Sony Alpha cameras do this automatically. When shutting down a Sony camera it occasionally can be heard to take a second shot. Some people on the forums ask what this is. The camera is looking for dead pixels. There is no Menu option that deals with this as it is automated.
Leave the file number set to Series as resetting the file numbering to zero each time you shoot will mean that you will not be able to effectively catalog your files in a database without adding a unique prefix your files. The default setting is the best choice.
