Now THAT is how to give out information. No loud music, no long pointless intro, just exactly what is needed to make an informed decision. You are the first YT person to whom I have ever subscribed. Also kudo's for mentioning Undone. He is a lot like you and I hope you soon grow to his level of subscriptions.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I always shoot in S-Log3 with 1.7 or 2 stops over and yesterday filming a party I needed to use 51.200 to keep it +1.7 and today I was wondering if I have chosen a different PP or underexpose to keep the 12800 and you answered all my questions. I watched more than 10 videos before and nobody was so accurate than you! You got a new follower!

This might be the greatest video on ISO settings I've ever seen. Used my a7siii to film a cake candle lit scene and turned out awesome thanks to your tips!

Hey Brad, I have has two A7S3's ever since they first came out. I have watched/read numerous tutorials (including several Gerald Undone's) about different aspects of the camera, but specificaly the low light exposure issue. Your video is the most succinct, clear, understandable, accurate useable tutorial on the subject out there. I have used your suggestions and everything is right on the money. I actually require everone on set to watch it several times such that we are all on the same page when it comes to exposure/lighting etc. Thanks for your expertise and great presentation.

What a great video! Thanks so much for information, and thanks for presenting it in a clear and concise way. I love my A7Siii and always looking at ways to use it in various conditions. Your insights are invaluable for a night shoot I'm planning for next week. Thanks again for the video - you now have a new subscriber!

Watching two videos of your channel was so convincing that I had to subscribe! 😍 Let’s find out more. 👍 Brad, may I ask what camera you use, which editing tool you prefer, and what background music you use? 😊”

[toothless]

Yea this is outta my price range. I enjoyed the vid

[StanceHooptie]

I am just starting out. This is great information, although I don't really understand 80% of it lol.

Can you make a follow up video on what you're doing with this footage in post in terms of color grading and bringing down noise levels? Not a whole lot of "low-light" color grading videos on YouTube for the a7siii from what I've seen.

Great video! Both information and video aesthetic wise!

Informative and fast! Subscribed instantly. In my case I found I was able of getting a cleaner image in low light with the Cine1 gamma profile, wich stands for PP5 in camera. But I have to make more tryouts in Slog3 as is my usual weapon of choice.
Thanks!!!! 😄

[mooemedia]

thanks mate this has been very helpful cheers

[jannikdublasky]

Great Video! Just discovered your channel! Keep it up!

Appreciate the talk. I would appreciate some discussions for NOT shooting with LOG files. Im not a cinematic guy, I produce for Youtube.
