Sony A7IV secret about 1080p that NOBODY knows…
This video is no joke. 1080p actually looks very similar to 4K footage in this setting. As I said in this video sony are using amazing technology with clear image zoom and the aps-c crop mode. Being in aps-c crop, this allows sony to use less of the sensor and less processing to focus more power on getting a cleaner image in camera.
Using this technique will save so much data space but will only be used sparingly. Filming in 1080p is a common thing for a lot of people but using aps-c crop with clear image zoom isn’t something people would be using very often, if at all for some.

It's probably a closer 1:1 pixel ratio than the 4k in Clear image zoom. Its one of the best reasons to use a Sony camera, other manufacturers just digitally zoom (crop) the image, but Sony actually algorithmically downsamples whatever image field of view you select into a full resolution cut out. No loss of fidelity using clear image zoom. The A7IV has 33 mega pixels, and 4k resolution is aprox 8 mega pixels, and 1080p is 2 mega pixels. The A7IV apse mode is 14 mega pixels, still more than capable of producing a full resolution 4k image, which is why it can crop down an extra 50 percent and still stay full res 4k, because it is now punching in to the very center 8 mega pixels of the sensor. An extra 100 percent push in would be 2 mega pixels, which means at 2x clear image zoom in APSC mode, its a 1:1 pixel read out 1080p image. You are using the 2 mega pixels at the very center of the sensor, at their full resolution, which is why the final result is still so clean as opposed to other manufacturers who take a 4k image and crop it down, giving you a worse sensor pixel to image pixel ratio.

@ryszardzokowski812 Месяц назад

Lumix S1H and S5ii(not the OG S5) have also the same function . When you turn on APSC mode in 1080p the quality is much better because it downsampling Instead line skippingim and look almost like 4k

@Humcrush 2 года назад

The "magic" is simply the fact that the camera is reading out all of the pixels from the APC-crop and then subsampling to 1080P relative to the clear-zoom level you've chosen. If you prefer to see exactly what you're getting in camera, this is the technique for you. If you'd rather have flexibility, cropping in post is the technique for you. It's wonderful that Sony gives us both options.

@JasonMorrisphotocinema 2 года назад

Hit the nail on the head. Sony are doing great with their internal processing

@chico3517 2 года назад

correct me if i'm wrong here but in terms of 4K output, there isn't too much difference when comparing 1. zoom in post and 2. crop + CI-zoom, right? so, no objective reason for one or another, it's just a matter of preference pretty much. when it comes to 1080p output on the other hand, using crop + CI-zoom is of course clearly looking better than zooming in post, since it's an actual readout of a smaller part of the sensor instead. but let's say one doesn't care about file sizes, what'd be the reason to use 1080p in the first place anyway? crop + CI-zoom works in 4K also and it's much higher bitrate. or am i missing something here? or is it that you only get .5x additional extra CI-zoom in 1080p? if that's the case, to sum it up, in terms of image quality alone, the only real advantage of using 1080p with crop + CI-zoom would be that extra .5x reach, right? that is, if you're OK with only 50mbit bitrate.

@09williamsa 2 года назад

@@chico3517 Hey there! You seem to be wondering wether there's a difference between using APS-C mode/clear image zoom in camera VS cropping in post, yes there is, and it does matter. When you shoot on the A7III for example you are reading off a 24mp sensor, downsampling from roughly 6K down to 4K. 4K resolution works out at 8.3 Megapixels, this means the camera has plenty of room to crop in from the 24mp sensor readout PRIOR to writing the file to your memory card before you'll get close to hitting that 8.3MP limit of 4K. That is how there is next to no difference in sharpness when using APS-C mode or Clear image zoom; it's because no matter if you use the full sensor read-out or one of the crop features, the resolution of the actual video file written to your SD card will be the same, 3840x2160. However if you record the full sensor readout image and then try to crop in post to achieve the same scaling, you're not cropping from the original full sensor readout like how your camera can do internally, you're simply scaling up that 8.3mp/3840x2160 of resolution (your 4K file). This means you will IMMEDIATELY start to lose resolution. So yes, it matters.

@chico3517 2 года назад

@@09williamsa thanks for your reply, but that’s not what my question was about. i know the difference between internal sensor cropping and simple upscaling in post. what i‘m asking is this: what are the benefits of using APS-C + CI-zoom in 1080p over 4K, other than smaller file sizes? one reason could be that .5x extra CI-zoom that one might not get in 4K, which i'm not sure about so i wanted to clarify on that.

@ayyleeway 2 года назад

@@09williamsa so does info from the video also apply to A7III? I’ve heard about “crappy 1080p” on it but still consider buying it for beautiful 4K.

@user-cf6nb3qz8s 2 года назад

Great mention Jason! I have many APS-C lenses and also shoot many of my videos in 1080p. When I first picked up the a7iv I was curious about how is the 1080p video. I was surprised about how much detailed is the 1080p in crop mode. It looks like 4K!! Much better than my a7iii and my a6600. That's a huge advantage of the a7iv.

@skymakai 2 года назад

I was one of those people waiting to get this info and you absolutely delivered! What an absolute trip! Unfortunate that 1080p is capped at 50Mbps, but if I absolutely need that reach it's there!

@BrendanGill 2 года назад

It's great to see that Sony allows for a 1:1 readout on the sensor of 1080p material in some form. I was wishing that somehow the A7iv 1080p would be improved in this iteration so we had a sharper full frame 60p / 120p option. Great find here!

@Ra-Hul-K 12 дней назад

Wouldn't a 33-megapixel sensor's 1:1 readout still be far greater than 1080p (around 2 megapixels)? I think the sensor is switching from line-skipped 1080p to down-sampled 1080p.

@angwk 2 года назад

I just tried 4k30p cropped mode and HD30P cropped mode, really no perceivable difference in sharpness, details, and color (almost 90% similar). I am excited! I will be considering using HD30P to shoot long hours videos, it will be less heat, more storage savings, and longer battery life then.

@StudioBrule 2 года назад

Great video, thanks! One point: You are right that punching in doesn't give the same shallow depth of field performance as a telephoto, but it does give the same compression given the same composition because you will have the same camera to subject distance. Cropping in is equivalent to using a smaller aperture on a telephoto: when you stop down the telephoto lens you will get a deeper depth of field but compression is not affected.

Seems to be no difference with aps-c and Ff 1080p

@wirton7 Год назад

Nice content! Does that performance comparison still valid at high isos like 12800-25600? (pixel level). I mean, are the amounts of details and noise from 1080p APS-C 2x C.I.Z. similar to an equivalent crop from the oversampled capture of the FF in very low light?

@Pharesm 2 года назад

@RaymondKPhotoVideography 11 месяцев назад

First of all, love your video’s very informative and always great to watch. But I’m actually walking into a head scratcher here.. Did you match the FOV, (field of view) through changing the focal length between the 4k and 1080p aps-c shots? If I look at 2:36 and 2:41 it seems to me, you have shot at different FOV. --When you start with a different FOV, the optical difference/zoom is already making a huge difference for the end results. If I need to shoot in aps-c, but want to keep the same FOV, I have to change to a lens with a wider focal length to match the FOV I would get with Full Frame, where as the difference in DOF (depth-of-field) is a simple lens setting correction. With the a7IV where the 1080p in aps-c is indeed way better than 1080p Full Frame, I run into these changes when I want/need to shoot 1080p. So why? ..If I want to see the true difference between 4k and Full-HD I don't start with the same FOV?, (It doesn’t matter if it’s Full Frame vs aps-c crop) When you start with one having a wider FOV than the other (here for the 4k), that one has to zoom in much more to match the Full-HD aps-c image, hence it degrades more... and you will see less of a difference in quality between the two. Anyways... these are just my two cents, --Still a nice video by the way.

@allen3158 2 года назад

Thanks for this informative video Jason! I have another question, what if 1080p just use the apsc mode and did't use 2x clear zoom, would its image quality still be clear as the 4k?

@thewrightvisuals 2 года назад

I'm looking to switch from my current GH5 to the A7IV and this video served me well! I do a LOT of sports videography and this is exactly what I needed to see. HOWEVER, one question to ask. I noticed you were in 25FPS, does this work for higher frame rates in FHD like 100/120FPS as well? I do a lot of slow motion when I record full games and that is something I am very curious about. Great video, I even liked it on both my business and personal account it was that good!

@baotranphotography 2 года назад

Not sure about that, but generally, the higher the FPS, the less sharp the image will be. So in 120fps i think it wont be as sharp as 25fps.

@MovingMatt 2 года назад

This is super interesting... I was trying to figure out what is happening here. Is it possibly that Sony Pixel Bins their 1080p when it's FF, but in the APS-C mode it is downsampled from that 4.7k? If I am not mistaken the 1080p is downsampled from 4k in the A7S III. I'm not sure if that would mean that the 1080p would have to downsample from the 7k in FF mode unless they resort to pixel binning. I'm not technically sound to know what is going on here, but it is a super neat feature either way. You had me reading through the Sony A7 IV menus online lol.

Enjoyable video, Jason. Thanks. I have to admit I'm someone who still feels comfortable shooting in 1080p. For one, the 4K files are massive and, in multicam edits, can make my iMac Pro choke. But just as importantly, my videos are almost exclusively viewed on computers, iPads and phones--not at the movie theaters--so 1080 coming out of the Sonys (A7Siii, A7iv and FX-3) looks great to me. (Plus there's the file size issue.) One question for you though: I have a button on each of my cameras dedicated to APSC crop mode, but I can only punch in while the camera is paused (not while recording). Am I doing something wrong? Or does Sony demand you commit to full frame or crop mode BEFORE you start recording? Thanks for your fine work--and your input.

From my test with my a7iv. You need to be paused. So far I haven’t found an in camera workaround.

There’s 1.5 x 4k clear image zoom in apse mode as well. Will it be sharper too compared to full frame 4k?

@JasonMorrisphotocinema Год назад

Not quite. Full frame 4k is downsampled from 7k so it will appear clearer with more detail than aps-c mode

Hey Jason I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure you can only shoot 10bit 4:2:2 in 1080p when recording on an external monitor. Without a Ninja V or other options, you’re stuck to the normal 8 bit of the A7iii. Oh I also have a question. With this new finding could we now be shooting crispy 120fps slow motion in clear image zoom?

@mathonafilms 2 года назад

Nope you can shoot 10bit in camera.

@clifftotten7609 2 года назад

Many people think that Clear Image Zoom....is a digital zoom on an already de-Bared image. It's not that at all. It's actually a live-moving sensor window read in raw. The readout is dynamically opening and closing and sending its read data to the A/D converters. This is a raw-read crop, its like taking a full frame read then a super-35 read and even down to a read window similar to micro 4/3 box. This is WAY different to just shooting in full frame and making it into de-Bayered video and "zooming in" on that already processed video in post. This read tecnique is radically different.

@muen1842 2 года назад

So does this mean it decreases iso sensitivity in the more zoomed in clear image zoom, say like “micro4/3” read?

@clifftotten7609 2 года назад

@@muen1842 Decreases sensitivity? What do you mean? If you take a raw full frame image in Photoshop and you crop it, does it get darker? No. Cropping a sensor does not make the new image darker. It just changes the resolution. The photosites in the middle of the sensor have the same sensitivity as the photosites on the outer edges. Sorry,... I don't understand your question.

Very cool! Gotta try this on my a7iv and Tamron 35-150. So it would essentially get a reach of 450 at f2.8!

@scb2scb2 2 года назад

also been playing with this what is weird is that on A1 where we should be able to do even more its also limited at 1.5x or 2.0x in clearzoom even if we have more pixels to play with BUT... A1+200600*tc2.0*1.5(crop)*2(clearzoom)=1200mm->1800mm and then 1.5 or 2.0 with clearzoom based on 22mp input so downsample 22mp to either 8mp or 2mp for 4k or hd. simulating 2700mm or 3600mm....

@nomad0714 2 года назад

Hi Jason, Happy New Year. Here are key differences between ff vs apsc in stills: 1) Resolution: A7R4 in APSC mode is ~14.7MP (=~33MP/2.25) vs. say A6600 at 24MP; and 2) EFL (effective focal length) vs FOV (field of view). When A74 is in APSC mode, the FOV is cropped by 1.5, but the EFL is still 1.0, hence why you don’t lose one stop of light as would with a A6600, using a ff lens on each body; and 3) AF points: With A74, you get 94% coverage in ff (759 PDAF and 425 CDAF) but 100% coverage in APSC mode because the FOV is now cropped in by 1.5. This is why I will keep my A7R4 for stills use until the A7R5 comes out with better video specs. In APSC mode, ~60.4MP becomes ~26.8MP, replacing the need to have a APSC camera like a6600 for more cropping for sports or wildlife. Keep pumping the A74 content as I’m learning a lot of real world use from your channel, especially for video use

@sneakergearz 2 года назад

Can you confirm it’s only with using ClearImage zoom. Also, can you use some CI zoom like .1x vs going all the way 2x? Does it still sharpen it up? Great video and appreciate the find.

@TheRedactionMusic 2 года назад

I also want to know. Is it only in 1080p cropped or is it cropped 1080 plus clear image zoom only?

Ciao Jason, I'm an Italian spectator of yours! I wanted to ask you ... how this trick works with 2x clear image zoom and not 1.5x? having less zoom shouldn't it be of higher quality?

@JasonMorrisphotocinema 2 года назад

I believe Sony crops into the sensor more so it uses less of the sensor but the image quality is still high with less processing? It’s hard to know unless we talk to the sensor engineers and designers

enabling active steadyshot gets even more zoom. a good use case for this, albeit super specific, is macro video. but it does not work in any of the 120p modes.

@iampresean 2 года назад

Not really the same as clear zoom. The active just crops in as you would do in post. Meaning that you won't have full resolution

@kaimelis 2 года назад

@@iampresean well the output is still 1080. have you done calculations, does the crop factor + active IS reduces the sensor readout ratios to below 1:1?
