M is refered to bitrate not resolution. 30p 100M means 30 frames per second with 100mbps

@AdrianDrott 21 день назад

One good thing to note for most European users where PAL is standard format. 4K limits you at 25p while NTSC allows for 30p. So switching to NTSC might be nice if you want those extra frames and don't care too much about using PAL.

Dude I never comment on videos either but this was perfect. You got right to the point and these things are simple or whatever, but I just got this camera (switched from canon) and this was so helpful. Making the ISO the spin wheel is so clutch, mine wasn’t set to anything. I thought I had to keep pressing right on the wheel and scrolling to desired setting. The 4k 1080p 120 frames thing was helpful also. I love slow-mo haha thanks brother

For this video I was using S-Log3 and color corrected in post production

@richc.3100 Месяц назад

4:10 DO NOT use steady shot in manual, unless you have a lens your camera can’t read. If you set your steady shot at 8mm the shoot at 200mm, it will not work well. Try it. It’s a huge difference.

@sylvest11able 2 года назад

Thats very help full mate !! I dont know why when i shoot XAVC S 4k the video will start ta lag in post proses.

@Zacharytm 2 года назад

I’m not sure! But it might be from your frame rate. Make sure you double your shutter from your fps. So if I’m shooting in 4k 60fps. I make sure my shutter is at least 1/120. Same for 4k 30fps, I’ll have my shutter speed at 1/60 at least.

@CourtneyMarbach 11 месяцев назад

this is an awesome video, and thank you for making this so easy to understand! I'm a newbie and starting to get into videography and could really use your advice: I am always filming in 60fps due to needing to slowmo the videos if necessary. I realize now that when doing that, I'm not getting the highest quality footage I could be getting, and I see that 4k only goes up to 30fps. What settings do you recommend, especially if you know you may need to slow down the footage later - but still want the highest quality?

@Zacharytm 10 месяцев назад

I would still recommend shooting in that 60fps, but I would get in the habit of switching back and forth between 4k and 1080 in this regard.

Best picture profile sony a7 iii

@Zacharytm 2 месяца назад

I like s-log3. Gives the most range for color grading in my opinion

@elliesimonson4810 Год назад

Hi Zach! Awesome video! I have a question for you. I bought the Sonya7iii because I saw most fitness videos are filmed with it and that is what my business is. Do you have a recommended "default" video setting for that? I know nothing about cameras and such so that's why I stumbled upon your video in the first place.

@Zacharytm Год назад

Awesome! Yeah so the easiest way to do it would be to shoot in A Mode, or auto mode. This can be done by changing the dial on top of your camera. I highly recommend learning to shoot in M mode eventually and I have a video for that! but for now just starting out learning the camera A mode will do just fine!

@visionproject.89 Год назад

@ContinentalFood Год назад

hi plz tell me which lens is best for food video and pic i have sony a7iii Thanks

@Zacharytm Год назад

I would say a good budget lens for that type of this would be the sony 50mm 1.8, but a more expensive lens, I could see the 16-35 G Master being helpful for filming food.

@therealstorie_s 7 месяцев назад

I also have the same Sony but I cant see these in setup settings

@Shike290 Год назад

I need the best setup for video what is important to have a great video Aperture Shutter speed ISO

@Zacharytm Год назад

Those setting all depend on the type of lighting situation you are shooting in, I always try and balance the bucket. Never let your shutter speed be less than half of your frame rate. So if my frame rate is 30fps, my shutter speed should be at least 1/60. If my frame rate is 60fps, my shutter speed should at least be 1/120. And then from there you can balance the other settings to your liking.

Does it have ALL -I.....option to shoot professional videos ?

@Zacharytm Год назад

Kinda of. You can achieve a similar looking video with PP10. It just provides an example setting for HDR recording and can be viewed with a wider range of brightness

@JessUndecided Год назад

Hi! Thanks for the vid. Have a question re Function ring. I have the 24-70mm FE 2.8 Sony lens and when I try to click on it to turn it on... it says that it isn't supported. Do you know what kind of lenses are supported for the function ring? other than the ones you listed? thanks!

@cre8tivity06 5 месяцев назад

What lens do you need for the function ring to work? It’s saying the lens I have on there currently is not supported which is a Tamron 70-180. Also with the Steadyshot settings in manual mode where you can set the focal length would it be better to set it at the high end of that focal length so for that Tamron lens set it to 180mm?

@tayybagondal 21 день назад

@KBTGProductions Год назад

What kind of lens do you use for your camera. My two lens do not allow me to use power focus mode.

@Zacharytm Год назад

I typically use G master lenses or G series lenses

@ConnorNamaste 5 месяцев назад

Hi, if I put in these settings my camera says: " To perform shooting with these settings, use a UHS-I U3/ UHS-II U3 compatible memory card". This sounds like abra cadabra to me, do you know what this means? I was also wondering if you could set two different shooting preferences (so day and night video settings), so that I can easily shift without putting in the ISO and F every time again. Many thanks, Gwen

@albanybrandt Год назад

No 10 bit with the a7iii

@alexisislowlfotografiayvid2569 7 месяцев назад

What shutter speed do you recomend?

@ejisfilms3109 2 года назад

just fyi, if you use choose the 1080/120p and 4K , the face detection on AF - C mode in A7iii, would not work so you have to use manual focus.

@Zacharytm 2 года назад

I’ve never had a problem like that. I’ve always been able to stay in focus with my a7iii shooting at 4k30. Maybe that’s true if you’re shooting for a lot of movement but I’ve never had an issue with it otherwise. I appreciate the comment and I’ll lookout for that next time I’m shooting

@davidpeters3138 9 месяцев назад

I notice light bands in my videos. What can I do to fix that? I have the a7iii

@natalieeab 10 месяцев назад

is 60p 50m better for editing in slow motion (for weddings - shots of details and venue) or 30p 50m?

@Zacharytm 10 месяцев назад

60p will allow you to film in 60 frames per second which will allow you to slow down the video. 30p with allow you to film in 30 frames per second which will generally not allow you to slow down the video depending on the type of timeline you are editing the video in

@dewouten. 2 года назад

one question, do you have a Macbook charger in the camera there? And can I do that without making the battery weaker?

@Zacharytm 2 года назад

I do, I’ve never had a problem with it, but I wouldn’t do it all the time!

@ColinBroadwaterRealtor 9 месяцев назад

In the beginning you say that you have a whole different video teaching about "M" mode and then immediately say that for this video we should be in "M" mode. Which setting should we actually be in?

@Zacharytm 9 месяцев назад

I was just referencing that video if you didn’t know what M mode was, not a bad an idea to familiarize yourself with it in order to understand why I use some of these settings. And so you can better understand your camera. Hope that helped!

@moonmediaas9633 5 месяцев назад

hi. liked your video... can you tell me if you have the same issue.. im kind of disappointing in my A7III. I also have a sony FX6 and I know, I shouldnt compare those two.. but yet I do.🙄 After I have shot with my A7III there is alot of video noise, and that does not go away in post and grading. Do you have the same "raw file" issue or is your picture quality good in raw? I also shoot in Log3

@Zacharytm 5 месяцев назад

Noise can be an issue when shooting in S-log if you are not color grading properly, that might be the issue. But also the Fx6 is going to waaaayy out preform the A7iii in low light, so just be aware of what ISO you are using and keeping your exposure level between +1.3 - +1.7

@DawmFilms Год назад

Hi thanks this was really a dope video, but as a Canon guy I need to know about shooting flat how do I set that? I mean S-Log?

@Zacharytm Год назад

For Sony, It should be under picture profiles, and it will be called S-Log 3. For canon Im not sure but I assume it would be something similar!

@annadidenko1299 9 месяцев назад

Hi Zach! Thank you for this video! The only issue that I have is setting up Function Ring as Power Focus. It's unavailable on my camera for some reason. Instead, I see the message while trying to klick onto Function Ring: Please attach a supported lens since the current lens is not supported. I use Sony A7III with Sigma 24-70mm F2.8, and I have no clue what's happening. I make photos and videos with this lens and it works, but to set up this setting I'm not able to. Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and knows how to solve it? Thanks!

@germen.barroga Год назад

Great video Zach really appreciate the info! I do have a question though: When I do change my FILE FORMAT to XAVC S 4K, It only gives me 2 RECORD SETTINGS which are25P 100M and 25p 60M. Do you know how I can get the other options?

@Zacharytm Год назад

Glad you enjoyed! So sometimes when you buy a Sony camera it has automatic setting programmed onto it. In your case, it is currently in the PAL setting, where my camera was in NTSC. It’s simply a matter of which country you bought your camera in or where it was shipped from, etc. It’s simply a location thing. There is a way to change that in your settings. It should be under your main setting page, and it should just say “NTSC/PAL Selector” and just click on that to change it. It may reboot your camera, but once you switch it, it will stay that way until you switch it back.

@Brutopx 10 месяцев назад

why i dont have this 4 options in 4k? i only have 25p options

@z3rokills437 Год назад

I selected XAVC S 4K and I have only two options 25p 100m and 25p 60m

@Zacharytm Год назад

So You have your camera set to PAL and mine was set to NSTC. They aren’t actually very different from each other, it’s just that different countries have different setting that they use. I talk about it in my settings video for the sony a7ii if you want to learn more!

@peteralmtorp2327 Год назад

Why do I only have 25p100M and 25p60M in record settings when choosing XAVCS4K ?

@Brutopx 10 месяцев назад

@omedahmed6766 11 месяцев назад

i have a recording stodio in which i will be recording teachers online classes, i have all the tools needed, but i still dont have the camera and im searching to what fits me, hence i will be recording in 1080 hd, and a 30 frame, hence my studio is 3*4 meters, i have the budget of 1000$ to 2000$ so what lens fits me the best with what camera, so im thinking about the sony a7 III, note that i only to purchase sony camera. and if u want more details i will be glad to povide you with further details.

@Zacharytm 11 месяцев назад

For that type of shoot with that budget, I really like the Sony a7iii and the 50mm f2.8 prime lens. The a7iii is around $1700 and the 50mm is around $250 or so. With that setup you could make the online classes a bit more personal because the 50mm really accentuates people in my opinion. Are you trying to film a whiteboard too or just the person talking

@Nicoboominn 2 года назад

@Zacharytm 2 года назад

@Zipse88 Год назад

Does the a7iii have a built in microphone or do you need a microphone? If so, which do you recommend?

It does have a built in microphone but I would recommend getting small Rode Mic.
