One of the best settings on a7 iv is the custom hold button and to be honest I discovered not so long ago despite having the camera from the release. Let say you set up the camera for birds in fly ISO 6400, 1/2000 and f8. But it happens that the bird is on the tree stationary, in this case you don't need high ISO, fast shutter speed and you want to blur the background @f4 instead of f8. With custom hold button you can change (with set in advance) settings like ISO, shutter speed, aperture and other, holding one button. After you complete shooting the bird on the tree and it flies away again, with releasing the button you roll back the previous settings (ISO6400, 1/2000, f8). For a lot of people this is not new information but I just discovered that.

Pressing pause at 2mins 46secs and reaching for my I'm one of the donuts that always shoots in manual. No offence intended to all manual shooters LOL. Will give this a go and hopefully get a much better hit rate :-). Thanks Danny. Another wonderfully useful video.

This is how I roll with my portrait and event work probably 90% of the time. Good stuff!

Great tip! I had no Idea that we could constrain the shutter speed during auto ISO and aperture priority. This is game changing. (I have been using fully manual during auto ISO which is NOT optimal.) Thank you.

I have been too locked into only shooting manual. I was watching your Avata video and then found this one. I am a bit confused on how Shutter speed SS works. I noticed on both my Sony RX10M4 and RX100M7 when I am in Aperture Priority with SS set to 1/125, the shutter speeed will still go slower when I use a smaller aperture.

So you talked about in the video about your settings but no where did you put your settings in here. What's up with that?

[wdfarm]

Where you demonstrate it towards the end the shutter is going lower than 1/125?

We professionals really wish you would cease and desist from telling everyone our highly guarded secrets! 👹.

that option doesn't exist for my a7c :(

NO ! I have done manual settings for more than 4 decades, no auto setting can ever match manual setting, I AM in command !
