Sony A7IV CHANGE these settings FIRST part 1

Sony A7IV CHANGE these settings FIRST

There are a few different things before I use any camera and that is customise my ergonomics and button layout. It is really important to keep the work flow fluid and consistent specially when under pressure and time sensitive.
This video can apply to any camera and any camera brand. This will give you something to think about with your camera and if you are optimising your work flow in the real world.
I do suggest take every setting in and see what works best for you. You may find that some settings are best in other positions but this suits my work flow and I strongly suggest you start changing your custom buttons before you start using your sony a7iv or any other camera.

Thank you man! Its so hard to set these damn cameras up and most youtubers are just vloggers. Great to get real info from a cinematographer!

[mikolajrosollitzpasja]

Thanks! One of the most helpful and best channels that helped me getting to know my sony a7iv and leaning filmmaking!

[GabrielPadron]

Thanks a lot! It’s just what I was looking for. I’m switching from canon and my a7iv is expected to arrive next week so I have no idea on the menu settings. You just saved me a couple hours on dribbling around 😂.. Keep rocking man. Cheers from Panama!

My A7IV arrives this Monday. Sigma 150-600 sports waiting for the camera too! Your setting presentation is great!

[SergeCousineau]

Thanks also for this video, I will surely use these settings as soon as I have my A7IV
Have a great day

Just ordered my Sony A7iV even though its on Backorder but this really helped because I'm new to Sony having switched from NIKON DSLR D850. Cheers from New York.

I'm still trying to change my Sony A7iv from not having it in my possession to having in my possession. Sadly, I didn't see the announcements of it's pending release right away, so I'm probably waiting until February or March. Sigh..

[westonborden]

Really helpful! Especially with the active stabilization and also the ASP-C setting.

[Hindsight]

Thank you for the focus speaking tip. I will set mine to mid from now on

[raywalteroutdoors]

[alainpaulis]

i didnt understand one thing, whats the difference between the digital zoom and the super 35 mode? are they not doing the same? im new too with the Sony family. Thanks mate.

[musicrecord]

Thanks a lot for your very usefully experience sharing ! 👍👏👏👏

[TherealPOM]

Thanks for the great tips!! I have found one issue when using my a7iv that I haven’t found a solution for yet. I hope it’s just a wuestion of a setting and maybe you have the answer?
When the display is open the camera switches very well between the viewfinder and the display. The problem is that it doesn’t switch this fast when I close the display with screen side to the camera body. The camera goes in to some kind of inactive mode everytime I close the display. This creates an annoying lag when I want to go quickly from display shooting to viewfinder shooting since I first have to click the shutter button to wake the camera up before I can take the pictures.

Of course you can have the screen ”open” and turned away from the body to work around this ”problem” but I want to keep the screen protected now that you actually can.

Best regards
Petri
