    Complete nube, here. I just picked up one of these as an initial move from using my phone and was immediatkey overwhelmed with all the options to the point I wanted to return it and retreat back into my comfortable phone. Your video has me thinking that maybe I can actually get into the saddle after all. Thanks for the guidance.

    I love the G7x but sometimes I really struggle to get a decent photo out of it, for example at christmas with tree lights etc, the focusing was terrible and it always focused on something random. It was only when I used on the of the SCN functions that it took a perfect photo - so frustrating!

    no M, Av or Tv, depending if you're looking for field depth or "speed" subject. M is for specific cases, such as night photography or particular composition that need to be set up in a "non natural" way.

    Hi, a very good video on G7 X II. I've recently bought myself this camera and I know I should have taken into consideration the fact that the photos this camera takes are film like that I don't like much. If you could give some tips and tricks that I could do right off the camera and/or in post-production that would make the photos look less like film, I would really really appreciate the effort. Thank you in advance.

    • @markfriday
      @markfriday  Před 8 měsíci

      Hey there! I totally understand what you're talking about. Just in case you don't know, each lens at each focal length has something called a minimum focus distance. So depending on how far you zoom in with your G7X II, the minimum focus distance changes. So the minimum focus distances on the G7X II throughout its zoom range are 5cm at 24mm and 40cm zoomed out all the way to 200mm. Hope this helps clear things up

      Hey, Peter! I actually shoot jpeg more often than shooting RAW recently, I just love being able to get amazing images from just shooting jpegs, I usually shoot RAW if the scene is of a high dynamic range like a sunset or sunrise etc, or if the moment is super important and I want to play around in the editing room!

      Hey, Gayle! For fireworks, I suggest shooting in 24p or 25p (FPS), shutter speed 1/50, white balance auto (because fireworks have different colors), ISO auto. These should be good enough/safe settings to make sure you capture the moment!

  • @JonMadd
    @JonMadd Před 8 měsíci +9

    Raw is overrated if you're a hobbyist new into photography. Raw means you need to spend time & possibly money on post production to get the best out of your images. If you're just shooting casual & not doing paid shoots, jpeg is perfectly fine to collect memories for sharing digitally &/or even print. 20MP gives you a pretty huge blown up picture.
    P/S: if you shoot just raw & no jpeg, you won't be able to review after shooting.

    • @markfriday
      @markfriday  Před 8 měsíci +4

      Hey! I totally agree with you for the most part! I think it just varies from workflow to workflow. If you have spare time to edit then raw is definitely the way to go but if you want a faster workflow then by all means go JPEG. Also if you aren't able to view your raw files in your camera, You're probably using a super slow SD card that's why it can't read that fast. Thank you again for your input, I appreciate your contribution. Hope this helps other people as well!

    Hi, sold this camera to a friend, it's a canon g7x mark lI, when she first got the camera she put the sd card in the wrong way and had ripped it out to remove it. my guess is that she damaged the sd card slot in the camera because when she would go to take a photo with the sd card in correctly, she'd get a "sd card locked" error message. I had her buy a new sd card and the same thing. again, i'm thinking the inside of sd card slot is broken. i have a photo of the inside for reference. the camera is in pa rn but i can have it shipped back if needed.
