Full Sony A7II Setup For Videography

The best settings I've found after using the A7II for over 3 years. Picture profiles are optional as everyone has different preferences of how they want their videos to look! Let me know what you use in the comments!

Thanks for checking this out!

Don't use NTSC if you live in Europe this is a huge mistake I often see from other videomakers because they want that 10 fps more (60 instead of 50) for having smoother footage, but that's not going to make a huge difference and you will have a lot of flickering if you're shooting indoors or with artificial lights because in EU we use 50 Hz and in USA 60 Hz

Thanks for the bed bro nice but I think I miss whether you put +4 for 4K or was that 1080 P for slow motion?

[Mjaymkay]

PAL or NTSC (not NSTC) is region dependent. NTSC is the video standard commonly used in North America and PAL is the video standard which is popular in most of the European and Asian countries. NTSC is 30/60fps and PAL is usually 25/50fps.

Would it be best to keep it at 60 if I wanna do Slow motion video in post?

if my setting are 1/50, f2.8 for a night video shoot, what should be the ISO before it starts adding grain ?

[ZularShotIT]

The only options I have on my Sony a7ii on XAVC S are 50p and 25p. What do I need to do?

[jessicamartin]

Thank you! I switched to sony for work and was mostly looking at how to shoot video with it since I dont know a lot about video. It looks like the video settings are automatic once you are shooting? So there's no manual adjustments? I could be totally wrong.

[drstonemlr]

What about the auto focus
Should i go for a6400 or a7ii for videography

[einpilzpilzkopfhalt]

Can you pls explane TC/UB i dont understand how to set it the right way😅

[armandotve]

Is the camera allowed to record more than 30 minutes? If so, how can I do it? I’ve been trying to figure that out but I haven’t found something that solve the problem.
