Couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting the focus results I expected. This is my first Sony system and this was SO SO HELPFUL! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
I agree...my first camera. Lol
I agree! So helpful. It's my first Sony and this is very useful and you explained it so well. Thank you!
Are you still using it ? Would love to see your work
Total beginner here on mirrorless photography having done years of photography on mobile but oh boy, this video is everything one hopes in an informative video. Kudos man!
Great to hear!
Great video and I think your the only one who explained Sony focusing perfectly and very easily

Thanks for putting this information together in a concise, real-world, no frills way. First new camera in 13 years and was a little ticked with A7IV kept focusing on wrong subject. Obviously USER ERROR and your vid helped me to see EXACTLY how to get the focus I need in every situation. You da focus man!

Awesome video. I'm coming from 10 years of Nikon so I knew it would take a second to get used to the new Sony camera. I was pretty sure I knew what was going on in most of these modes, but your video definitely helped clarify a few specific things I didn't realize. Also thanks for keeping the video concise!
Thanks a bunch Sohil.. very helpful.

Very polite explanation ..... love it
So beautifully explained
Perfect explanation
Very useful video! I've been looking for the main differences between the current Eye AF systems and this helped a lot in understanding the Sony part of the comparison.
One question that wasn't explicitly mentioned in the video: you say around 7:35 that the tracking will turn on Eye AF as soon as it recognises a person, but does it do the same thing with animals and birds? Or do you need to be in the other AF Modes for that?
Thank you for your reply!
Very clear and concise! followed :}
Saved the best for last 🔥 thanks
This helped, thanks!
Hi great tutorial, would you recommend wide focus for landscapes or expand flexible spot.
Awesome review brother! I film underwater and my subjects are constantly moving as you expect. I'll give the 'tracking' a go tonight and see how it works 🤙
Omg I needed this video 😭 thank you so much
Glad I could help

Very helpful. Struggling with focus on my A7iv. Thanks!
Glad, it helped!
great video.what do you think the best setting for street photography?
Thank you so much. Now I gotta figure out quick buttons to change modes lol.
Thank you for that very easy to understand explanation of the different focus areas. I just had that, "Ah-haaa" moment...and a sudden craving for curry chicken. Thank you, Sohil.
Thank you!
Your video is very clear and well paced. Thank you! I have the A7 IV and set it to AF-C. But Flexible spot is not an option in the Focus Area menu. If you have any idea why, please let me know. Thanks.
That was absolutely superb! Such a calmly delivered, succinct description of the real differences between the focus modes! Best i have see so far! Thank you! Very helpful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!! This was a BIG help for me getting acclimated with my new A7RV from a Canon 90D.
I'm glad it's helped you! How similar would you say the settings have been for the A7RV vs this A7IV?
@@SohilPandya1 I have only had my A7RV for a couple of weeks, but I absolutely LOVE what I have gotten from it so far. It appears that the major differences between it and the A7RIV are video-related, especially with 8K, and with the articulating screen. As far as the settings go, it appears that there are very few differences. Focus Stacking appears to be the only major difference. I haven't tried it yet, but hope to soon, especially with Moon shots. I haven't tried anything with video yet. I doubt if I'll use 8K very much, but we'll see. I'm an amateur wildlife photographer, and I think this new rig will certainly help. Time will tell. Thank you again! Subscribing to your channel now!
@@whobedannyd I'm jealous of the articulating screen! it's a very good one :)
What lens do you use for wildlife photography? Have you got the 200-600 or 100-400?
Appreciate the subscription!
@@SohilPandya1 With my Canon 90D, I used the Canon 100-400 Series II and the Sigma 60-600. The Canon is actually a better quality lens, but of course it doesn't have the reach. I have been very happy with the Sigma. When I bought the A7RV, I bought the Sony FE 100-400 with the Sony 2x adapter. I think the lens is great, but haven't had success so far using the doubler. I didn't, however, have the necessary arca-swiss adapter to set the Sony lens onto my tripod. I have one now, but haven't tried that combo yet. I also broke down and bought a Sigma MC-11 adapter for Canon to Sony mounting. It works PERFECTLY with my Sigma 60-600. It's a heavy rig, but I am getting some WONDERFUL shots!!
I’ve got the 100-400 and I love it! Managed to get a few shots with it that I’m very happy with!
I don’t have the 2x though :( but you’ve got me thinking about it! 😅
what’s your instagram, I’d love to check some of your photos out :)
Very helpful bravo m8
🙏🏻 gracias!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Nice vid!
Well explained. I've subscribed. It is well explained I've also got Information with Mark Galer, Gemini, Gary Friedman and others. What I've found it can take me awhile before the penny drops
So Ive been following Sony users. This does not stop me following other people with other camera brands as most things can be done with any camera.
Cheers
Thanks Simon
thank you for the video brother
Thanks for watching! ☺️
