Just recently got the A7IV and found this really helpful! Will definitely take advantage of the customizable 123 dial for photo/video 🙌 Had no idea!

Great video! Thanks! I love the shutter anti-dust function. I didn't know it existed.

Just got my A7iv & this video is helpful! In fact, think Sony should include this vid as a product aid, really...
Thanks!

Great information!! I immediately changed a few settings on my camera. Thanks!

[oliverhandal]

the recording emphasized thing... damn it, how did I not see this anywhere else. THANK U

[sampledude]

Good job. Please do a full length on the A7 IV with all menu items.

Some great hacks and I agree with most of them however I don’t recommend using the shutter close when power off. The shutter is extremely fragile and it’s a lot easier to clean the sensor than to replace it. Plus dust just gets on the shutter and then still ends up floating around inside.

[BirgitLoit]

That was so helpful! Thank you so much! Love the red video marking and custom settings dial 1-3!

Great video thanks. Just waiting for my A7iv to be delivered...

Your video quality looks amazing! Could you show us color grading. Maybe simplify the process with S-Cinetone or maybe some settings so we don’t have to go crazy

Careful with the dust tip. I think this is a very bad idea actually from Sony. Dust on the sensor can be taken care of pretty easily, but a damaged shutter is much more expensive. Actually, there is a thick piece of glass in front of the sensor, and it is hardly as sensitive as you think. There have been numerous reports of damaged shutters because, for instance when people didn't use a lens cap and let the camera sit somewhere, and the sun burned a whole in the shutter.

Thanks for the tips, very helpful! Your channel is going places. 😎

[hardikpshah]

Thank you so much for the info! You literally saved us!

[bluedeskfan]

Very good. A few handy tips there, thanks for sharing

[rogerrose]

Love the video.
Can you make a step by step tutorial??? It was a little hard to follow you because you were too fast and didn't show the steps you used to get there.

Please do another tutorial.

Thank you

[withtiago]

Quality improvement every single time.
Good job brother 😎🔥

[RaymondToms]

Thanks for these setup hints. Can you make a new video showing how to configure the three memories. I just can’t figure it. Can you include record mode in it? I get annoyed when S&Q needs 1080, and when you go back to video, it has also changed to 1080 from 4k. It would be nice if it reset from a memory bank.

Excellent video, dear friend. What picture profile do you use for your studio shoots? Is it any of the built-in camera ones or s-log? And if it's s-log, what colour grading do you do on which software. Thank you.

[gracel]

I love your videos they are great good job😍🔥

How did you set up the rating for a custom button, when I try to customize that button the play back tab (which contains the training) is not an option for customization
