YOU forgot to mention that you also need to have as fast V90 card in order to record in a higher frame rate

Nice! I didn't know my camera was capable of this, thanks for taking the time to make this and share

[rogerpopp]

Thanks for the tip mate I'll try it today! And about the person who said that got annoyed for your "acting" dont even bother, some people get irritated for nothing, poor guys...

[BTHAlaska]

This makes the A7iv way more appealing!!!

[callaghanwilliams]

Thanks for breaking this down into relevant chapters. Watched a few others of people stammering and trying to be funny while talking about the settings, putting a camera right in back of the menu screen is clutch. I'm just trying to shoot rad stuff !

[Jason_Hermann]

Very cool and thanks for sharing this! I was unaware and will certainly start using this for my 120 footage when I don't need audio 👍

[DrMeowWoof]

Thanks for sharing. Could you recommend what type of card and brand you would recommend to capture this ?

[ClaesFeldt]

That was a Game Changer to say at least. Thanks for this tip and i´m a bit angry at my self that i never thought of this. I have used S&Q before but to speed up things instead.

[saminurmiphotos]

Very good and clear tutorial, many thanks!

[GauravPassiTV]

[veesoho]

[QuestHuntersGaming]

Dude you found life hack u saved my life deserves a sub❤

[bobbymacgregor]

Great hack! So simple and obvious when you think about it. I made the same changes on my A7R5. Thanks for sharing!

[itsPhillipStaples]

I liked your video! Did you have to do anything in post processing like final cut pro?

[jeanbaptistelabelle]

You are the first one among thousand videos that explained this custom memory tip!!! So glad you did it !

[axumchris]

Great Job!! Sorry If someone asked this, in this mode do you lose out on any of the (hand held) image stabilization features from the camera or lens?

[MarkLargo]

Very useful!!! Thank you and subbed!!!

[shanewise]

Great video! Trying to save this setting but my a7iv won't let me change the shutter speed in manuel. Any tips? Thanks!

[anjummohammed]

i want to shoot 120FPS without S and Q Mode! having to come home then to speed up all the footage because not everything requires S and Q is just a pain! i cant believe it records normal 120FPS in 8 bit and only S and Q slow Mo in 10 bit.

Thank you for this helpful video! Too bad my memory card cannot handle it :(
