Im a rookie. Im a makeup artist who want to shoot besuty couse there is not many photographer since i moved to the country . How do i shoot close up beauty potraits setting and focus wise ?and what lense ? All reccomendation is gladely welcome 😍hugs form Europe
I first had the A7II as well. It's night and day difference with A7III autofocus. There is eyeaf on A7II if you map it to a button. I didn't know that for the longest.
@@stevesvanderpool8653 is that really? I've got the A7ii and the camera store told me it does have eye af, i have tried to set it to a button but i can't select it, it always says it does not work with this lens, and i have tried multiple lenses
Thanks for adding that BTS part at the end. It's nice knowing that things aren't all seamless and peachy when making a video and that you have to do multiple takes to get things right, and also to have fun with it.
Your wife is so beautiful but also so funny. You guys are a great match. Love how your focus on multiple brands, equipment and software while providing real live perspectives. Keep it moving Bro.
After shooting Nikon for the past 20 years, I switched over to the Sony camera system at the beginning of April. I was playing around with my Sony A7 iii at a wedding and ran into this same issue. The camera was focusing all over the place, and I did not understand what was happening. I am already a subscriber of yours and knew somewhere on your channel you provided us with the content on this problem. I’ve changed my setting to yours, and I’m off and running. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Manny and Diana! You guys have inspired me to go Sony! I’ve been watching your videos to help me prepare for the switch! Great work!
@@houstoninternationalmedia3408 thanks! I just got it last Thursday! It's definitely a game changer! Now I'm trying to figure all these Sony components!
@mannyortiz There's an easier way to do this. Set your camera to af-c and flexible spot with back button af then map the ael button to af-on plus register af (af-c plus wide). This way af-on is flexible spot and ael is af-c plus wide. No more changing af points but just 2 buttons that controls both.
The love you have for photography ( not just Sony) but all Art. I will continue to follow your work. I learn a lot from your videos. Just a question, can you do more Nikon ideas...lol
Its probably hard when Manny shoots Sony. Dont wanna sound like negative whining asshole but id suggest you to get learn how your camera works and get used to it. I shoot with Nikon d7200 and man, i wish the body could do more, since i love to shoot in low light (alot in the night time) and the 1 stop from more from fullframe sensor would give me so much more. Cant afford better camera atm so got to work with that!
too late to win the programme capture one, I saw this video announced on my telephone and lost it, but I'm happy that I found it again, Thanks for these tips which must seem so elementary too you now, but soo good to us out there in the middle of thousands of youtubers each telling us how to get the best out of our sonys, stay natural manny, you are very good in what you do!!
Glad you 'read out' the difference in using flexible spot rather than wide for shots where the eye is not in view. Few have noted that the little boxes are actually focusing on the nearest point; actually, answering this question was important for us who have the tracking focus in one camera, but not in the A7 III (Sorry, Diana.)
This is actually a great tip. I’ve had some issues in low light conditions losing the eye and I lose all focus on the area I want to focus on because of that WIDE setting. I’ll have to try this out. Looks like it will help me at least move to the area I want to focus on rather than depending on the camera and waiting on it to decide. Thanks Manny. Appreciate the tip. - #ShootDopePics
I have been struggling with this since I got the A7iii so make sure to let your wife know I am here asking about it! Thanks for showing the steps to make it seamless!
First of all thank you for all your great content you post. You really making me lean more towards Sony especially showing more capabilities of this camera of autofocus features.
Great tip! It even works great on A7II In AF-S and with AF-C the face detect still works and In both AF-C and AF-S that flexible spot takes over when the face Is not there 👍 so nice tip! Thanks Manny😊
Too funny!!! Your sweetheart keeps you sharp man. Happy for you! Takes a supportive partner in life to make our photography passion work. If she/they are unhappy, our passion suffers. Good for you guys!!📸👍🏾👍🏾
I have been struggling with this since I got this camera last year this was very helpful thank brother. And congratulations to who ever won the free program
Manny I love how you are always honest in your reviews and how clear you are with your tutorials. Thank you for being a big inspiration and continuing to serve in the photography community.
I’m still waiting for the Manny & Diane CZcams channel. I love your chemistry. You guys are truly blessed to have each other. I’m staying with Canon and continue to watch your channel. Keep up the great work.
You guys are so funny I love how you both work together to Impact the channel it’s a real inspiration to us married individuals looking to get on CZcams with our significant others. Do you ever do beauty shoots I’m really interested in beauty photography? I’m trying to get into tethering so capture one might be the way to go
Even though I didn't ask this question, I'm glad you posted it because it was something i was worrying about with regards to grabbing proper focus in those situations
Manny, Thanks for answering the question that’s has been a challenge for me for a while. I have tried different settings but couldn’t get it to work right. This did it for me. Thanks for answering the question that Diana didn’t think anyone asked or needed the answer to. Sorry Diana ☹️
Thanks for this video. It’s going to really help me out when I get my first Sony. Switching over from the Nikon z system to Sony and I am going to need all these tutorials to get up to speed with the new system. Tell the wifey this video was needed. Lol.
Great info been wanting to have a travel camera other then my APS-C Fuji. I bought an A7ii and wasn’t impressed at all by the auto focus it was awful honestly. The lack of joystick was a bummer too. I am humoring trying the A7iii to have a full frame walk around camera that’s the size of a Fuji. Tell her this was EXACTLY the video I needed to sway me to try the A7iii as a contender! Thanks dude!
Thank you Manny! I feel like I owe you money every time I watch your videos! I am a new Sony photographer this helps me out a lot! Bdw your wife is gorgeous!
I looked this up SPECIFICALLY lol!! I subscribed and liked because not only very informative but you guys had me laughing and I love how you two are with each other haha. Great team!!
Whenever I need a lift, I look at this video...!!! "Nadie"... LOL! Ay Dios mio..!! LOL! "Trying to read Manny's shirt"... Priceless.....! Thank you, Diana..!!
Thanks Manny, I had used most of these features separately but did not know when/why to move from one setting to the other and when one took priority over another. Your demonstration connected all the dots for me and now I understand it. Big thanks - Chris
That's amazing man! Didn't know you can full time eye af- wide mode as long as there is an eye or face. Super pro tip. Thanks Manny. Yes I've had it jump to random objects many times and it sucks.
Great video Manny. I usually turn off the center lock on focus and use the touch focus function which gives me a flexible spot to work with. I then just have to cancel the flexible spot by pressing the center button and takes me back to the wide focus mode which is set as the default option. This works really well, even better than using the joystick especially when using the viewfinder. To me, this is faster than changing from wide to flexible spot and then back again.
I've been the owner of A7III for 4 days now and absolutely love it! I purchased it mainly to shoot videos, so can you please do some video/film making tutorials, covering some good settings etc.? PS: Love the chemistry between you two! :D
Your videos are great but it's the chemistry between you and Diana that makes it for me, its hilarious that she rips into you and gives you a hard time. So much more real that some channels where everything is all one big fairytale.
Totally agree about Capture One, most powerful raw editor on the market. I would love to get a Pro licence 😉 Keep the good work Manny, Sony should also thank you as I bought an A7R3 because of you. Thanks for all the content!
That focusing systems does seem super convenient. I don't use Sony cameras much currently, but having the best of both worlds with continuous eye/face priority plus selection looks amazing. Nice job on the video. :)
Love your videos manny ☺️🙏 haven't been watching you for long but I've ended up purchasing a A7 iii because your videos are off helpful and informative, keep it up brother 🔥🙏
Thanks for video Manny, I’m a canon shooter but I love your videos. I’m trying to learn portraiture so I can do weddings and portraits in future, mainly shoot landscape and street right now.
Thanks for the AF breakdown....the eye auto focus is life changing! Speaking from the female perspective, I think it would be super cool for Diana to do a beauty tutorial on how to do makeup for photography.
I didn't ask for this but it was very informative. I will apply on my next shoot!
Im a rookie. Im a makeup artist who want to shoot besuty couse there is not many photographer since i moved to the country . How do i shoot close up beauty potraits setting and focus wise ?and what lense ? All reccomendation is gladely welcome 😍hugs form Europe

Dale Whitehead exactly!! Funny!
I fully thought his 'alright guys i'm gonna stop the video here' - was going to address Diana and throw up some proof of the comments lol
Dale Whitehead that’s the best part
You’re the reason why I purchased the A7iii, I’ve been in love with it ever since. Your tutorials helps soooooooo much
Manny, I know this is 3 years old but I just purchased the Sony A7R III and this tutorial helps me out. Thank you!
The A6000’s have great autofocus features, something I miss so much when I got the A7II. Can’t wait to get the A7III

First time commenting on any CZcams video ! Influenced my A7iii purchase ! Love the vids !! (also I love Capture One ;) )

David N. Beasley Jr. multiple brands? Bruh always in Guess apparel 😂
@@mrmar90 i think he means, he is using Nikon, Sony and other (camera) brands instead of clothing brands, though correct me if i'm wrong.
Diana: “well there you go...you answered the question that no one had asked”

Manny Captured “The One” a long time ago. He doesn’t need capture one . 😁

Britney Sharp yeah it’s a lot to figure out at first. Just keep watching manny and other great Sony users and you’ll great in no time!
Houston International Media thanks! Currently doing so!
I love the fact that your wife is so supportive. I was just telling my girl how appreciative I am that she supports my passion. So kudos to you guys.

Got the a7iii today and I asked myself this question. Manny had already answered. He's awesome!
Y’all have to be one of the funniest couples in America🤣
Thank you Manny for all your videos you made a huge difference in my photography life. I hope you stick around for many more years!
I liked using capture one... its just a bit more expensive 😭. Sliiide that free year over here fam

Gonna try this on my first shoot ever today. Wish me luck. Thanks Manny
Real fun, simple an educational videos, keep up the good work boricua 🇵🇷
My dude took it bs back with the guess!!! Speakkkk. Straight classic bruh..
Totally agree about Capture One, most powerful raw editor on the market. I would love to get a Pro licence 😉
Keep the good work Manny, Sony should also thank you as I bought an A7R3 because of you. Thanks for all the content!
I am cosidering the the A73 myself , thank you Manny and love your banter with your MRS .

Thanks! I have found using "touch to focus" helpful when I lose subject. I'm just not a good manipulator of a joystick!
Love the bloopers at the end!! Lol, keep putting great videos
Capture One, is calling me 😂😂😂😂 let’s try it, thx Diana for the fun 😂😂😂
Keep pumping out the helpful content Manny! Thanks
I Love how you and DIana keep it so real. Thanks Manny for your videos. Ive learned so much from you.
Thanks for video Manny, I’m a canon shooter but I love your videos. I’m trying to learn portraiture so I can do weddings and portraits in future, mainly shoot landscape and street right now.
I didn’t know I needed to ask for this.... Because now I know something I didn’t know. Manny you can read our minds😮😳😳😳😳 GOAT 🐐 🙏🏽💯
I was a die hard Canon user until yesterday. This video reiterates I'm making the right decision switching to Sony.
Love your videos Manny! My lady & I, inspire to be a team like you & Diana!
Love you guys chemistry & banter
Thanks for the AF breakdown....the eye auto focus is life changing!
Speaking from the female perspective, I think it would be super cool for Diana to do a beauty tutorial on how to do makeup for photography.
I badly need the code 🤗 Doing great job Manny 👍🏻
Tracking is also on the a6400 and a6600. I have the a6600 and I love the tracking! So convenient!
Bloopers are money!!! 🤣👍 thanks guys-great vid!!!
