The YouTube compression makes it look like there's no difference between ISO3200 and 4000 - it's actually a huge difference! The noise is very fine and suppressed at 4000.

...A year later and now we have the Firmware Update which gave us 8K 4:2:2 10 bit and S, M, &L RAW sizes!! Would love to see an update of this video!

[FamilyofTech]

Amazing video! Great explanation of CODECS. Im actually into that! So thanks!

Great video. I’d be interested in knowing if there is much of a difference between the 400mbs VS 200mbs 8k recording?

[SincerelyLR]

Thank you for giving me the answers no one can subscribed my friend! My A1 is still new to me and I needed this video!

As a solo outdoor filmmaker, do you think the opportunity to exploit digital camera movement because of 8k on a 4K timeline makes this a killer feature?

[robertleger]

Is it any better compared to the A7RV for 8K though? putting aside the issue of filming in 8K 30P?

[sendykumalakanta]

Wondering what Canon will do with R1, and Sony with A7iv

[NONENONE]

I recorded 20 minutes 8k and it overheated. I've been trying to find out why but maybe your tip at 06:15 will help. Is the screen helping overheat the body if it's plugged against it?

[nishali]

hi, great info. Can the Sony record 8K 30FPS HDR videos?

[brandonquiceno]

hey im having problems with finding the red square around the lcd screen to show im recording. i cant seem to find the Emph Disp Dur Rec anywhere. how can i get that?

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

I am watching this on my phone at 360p.

[JoelRiveraMD]

So I’m confused . For the A7S3 If I want to shoot in the best 4K quality possible, forgetting about file size or computer needs, is it the HS Codec I should use or intra compression Codec ??

[MrGennadymc]

We can record raw with blackmagic video assist 12g

You are soooo over my head, I got a nose bleed watching. I’m a simple man with a shiny new Sony A1…… Thanks so much for your expertise…. I think….

[drumtro]

8k is great but not enough people are comparing 4k

[JamesClark]

Do I need it? No.
Do I want it?... 👁️👄👁️

I own a Sony A1 but can’t use as a production camera fir the work I do. Have run into so many pattern noise issues, metal grating, patterns in shirts. Once this moire is baked into the image it’s impossible to remove. Sony has told me to blur it in post. Sorry, Sony, that’s not a good enough answer.

Difference between 4K and downsampled 8K
Me watching in 360P;
