- Low light with the Sony A7IV. Don't do this...
The sony a7iv is a fantastic camera but knowing how to use it is very important. Understanding each and every feature and how the sensor performs could be crucial for your work flow. The base ISO for S-Cinetone is much lower than S-Log 3. Starting at 125 and second native ISO is 500 whereas S-Log 3 first native is 800 and second native is 3200.
Using these ISO levels will give you the best and cleanest image possible if exposed correctly.

Bro I love you advice at the end that’s what holiday spirit is all about
thanks my bro. I just feel for everyone doing it tough right now. Tough times for everyone
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I understand usually my church makes baskets or go work at a shelter for the holidays
Subscribed for that one. 🔔
Hey Jason, I am a full time CZcamsr and professional eater that started doin' food challenges but moved into Vlogs a few years ago, I have over 360 Vlogs alone with a cell phone and a GoPro. I will still use a go Pro but just purchased the A7 iv and about to do an unboxin'. I do not know NOTHING about fancy cameras but I am divin' in. So glad I found your channel, thanks for breakin' the ISO down for me (only half lost now) and I subbed.
I watch your CZcams channel and saw you bought the new Sony A7 4. I know you like to edit your butt off as well as get the audio and video above par and I a thank you for all your hard work. family loves your content,
@@testchannel4933 Hey Test thanks, appreciate you as a member to the Disposal Team. Yeah I was searchin' CZcams and tryin' to soak up some knowledge about this new camera but man oh man there are a lot of features on here and I am just use to a GoPro lol
It's so good that you raised about people's mental health at the end. this is so important and especially guys are often not good at making themselves vulnerable and talking to someone. Keep it up. Rest of the video was great too
The color science of the latest Sony cameras is awesome, i still use the old Sony X3000 for vlogging which has super natural colors but i wish Sony would release a new version with more color modes and screen.
On
M m bol😢
Hey brother...Congratulations on graduating! You're one of my favourite teachers right now. Your presentation and delivery is perfect for me and I always find you addressing things that not only I wanted to know but needed to know.
I hope you grow in to the millions bro, you deserve it!
amazing words. thank you Abdul.
The end totally caught me off guard, but I loved it, only because that me right now
Even if no one messaged me, you basically already did 🙏🏻 thank you sir 💪🏻
Luis! Take care man!!🤝
Big congrats on the graduation Jason! I'm a new subscriber because you've hit the right time to talk a lot about the A7IV, so that's how I found you. Great content otherwise as well so looking forward to watch you even more. All the best for the coming holidays, so noble of you to mention the care for others who'd need some attention and love right now.
Thank you for watching my video. I hope they help in some way 🙌
really loved your christmas message at the end. Talking straight out of my heart. Thanks!
thanks rick. I really hope it helps at least one person
The ending was surprising. Good to see you care about others
Thank you my friend
Congrats man.... much respect,...👌 The more I learn about the A7IV, I feel like it's the best camera value for the money and my needs,.... Still waiting for mine.... Thanks for the continued A7IV series...
you still won't be disappointed. best budget hybrid camera out
Do you think it is interesting to buy an Atomos Ninja V to compensate for the poor quality of the Sony IV lcd screen? the idea is to use it in photography essentially, but if I can win something in video, it’s perfect
Love the "digital noise jazz hands" 🤣 5:54
I don't even have the camera yet but I am soooo excited to work with it after your videos. I just upgraded and am going to hopefully grow my CZcams with it in 2022. Thanks for the great content.
I really hope you have an awesome 2022!
1:29 I like how he moved the text on his t-shirt to make the transition even smoother
Really love the statement at the end of the video. Thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes we need to hear that more often.
Thanks Boris. Pretty important statement everyone needs to hear, even myself sometimes
Thank you Jason and the talk of mental health is important.
Thank you. Glad you found it nice
With my A7 IV and the Slog 3 is at 800 iso in auto, that's why! I put in manual iso and my minimum base in slog 3 was at iso 200, which also had an impact on my exposure!
I wanted to watch your video....but that music was awwwwwwful!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on the degree! Especially as a parent already...that's tough. Your ungraded footage at 10K looks pretty good.... much better than the A7S3 would at that many stops over either of its bases. I think a takeaway with the low light comparison between the two bodies, and what often doesn't get mentioned, is that the A74 will be inherently cleaner at any given (sane) ISO because it's oversampling from its ~6k readout, thereby also descaling noise in body. Much different than the A7S3 which only slightly descales but does have a lot of smeary noise reduction added, especially at the 2nd gain stage. I'd love to try the FX6's version of that sensor, but apparently they're all still in Tokyo, awaiting the oldest man puling the slowest rickshaw to the jankiest rowboat before they'll get here sometime next year...maybe. In the meantime, I made a few videos about these bodies...check em out. 😎
Awesome message about mental health awareness
Good video! Gerald undone touched on the dual native iso in the A7SIII, and found that the base, and second base ISO are always the same number of stops apart from each other regardless of their actual number. And if I remember correctly, they actually work out to be proper exposure since you’re supposed to over expose s log. So proper exposure at base ISO in S Cinetone, is still proper exposure at base ISO in S log even though it goes up to 800 because you are 1.7 stops over. Hope that made sense LOL, he did a much better job explaining it then I just did.
x20 original base ISO is second base ISO
i personally don't exposure with the metering anyway. It is way too inaccurate. I expose my scenes using false color. Much more accurate tool for exposure I use for all my commercial work
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema 100% agreed, the metering on the camera is garbage and inconsistant. False colour is by far the best. I normally use 1st or 2nd base ISO and expose using VND. Changing ISO is so 2 years ago 😂
Congrats for the graduation, same uni, Griffith Uni Nathan campus back in the 90s
Thanks, I was waiting for someone to address the sensor settings. thanks for the education and congratz on graduating!!
Congratulations Jason. Well done and well deserved. I'm sure you've worked hard for it. All the best!
This is where they should bring AI to be able to pick itself the best Iso based on noise image library internal samples results. Knowing it is close to a range where it would be better seems easy to develop. So the camera would itself switch from 400 to 500 for best result. It does not need to be the basic standard feature but a AI NOISE mode you could select. I was a developer, so it is in my instinct to try to bring new features.
Congratulations on graduating mate! 🔥
Noob question here. When filming in low light, and trying to maintain the integrity of your hihglights - is Slog3 the best PP to use?
You are living my dream. Buy a chocolate bar from me. "Sad filmmaker from Turkey."
I needed this video just today, congrats on graduating! Can't wait to start shooting with my A7IV, please do more video like that
Thank you. Hope my answer helps
Very helpful. Just got my A7iv and a lot has progressed since my A7sii. I learned a lot in this. Thanks! And congrats on the degree. -H
Congratulation on graduating! Great stuff as always!
Congratulations !!! Thanks for the bunch of very important infos about that new camera. Happy New Year and give us more content, please... :) Stay safe.
Wow great video especially the last part. Great guy
High five from Canada Jason! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
merry xmas james. thank you
Fun example shots :) congrats on the diploma 🥳
Thank you! Bachelor degree 😜 3 more years of torture for that title hahaha
I just wish that Sony would let us turn off internal noise reduction for video like on Canon and Panasonic cameras. It would help a lot and allow us to use noise reduction higher quality than the camera's own.
Yeah unfortunately they only have it on the fx6 and fx9. They just need a firmware update to do it
Helpful information, well presented. Nice touch at the end with the important message. It's always a good reminder and has me thinking about the people in my life---and others I may encounter along the way. So thanks for that.
Great holiday message... spot on.
Thanks Jason! I shoot a lot of low light stuff and have always been "afraid" to crank up the ISO...but man your footage was SO CLEAN! Appreciate the tips!
Super helpful 👌
Congrats on the graduation 👏🏻
I saw a different channel that said exposure settings should but between 0 and 1
whats the difference between this and the a7c/a7iii for low light? im wanting a camera for low light with the flip to the side screen.
Happy holidays! I haven’t had to over exposed by 2 stops for SLog3 in my Sony A7SIII. Ive stayed around .7 or so.
HLG3 has been my go to profile.
This helped me so much for my videos!
5:40 I would consider the highlights in this to be EXTRMEMELY blown out..
Congrats on the graduation!
Omg you are the best i love you jaajjajaja i mean thanks for explaining so great, do you teach ? i want to make a masterclass with you
thank you
Hello, great video! What native ISO did you set? 800-3200?
Hi Jason! Congratulations on graduating.
Good job bro!💪
Thank you my bro. Long time coming haha
Weird annoying background music.
Great explanation!
Congratulations and best of luck on your ways!
Thanks for this video, one question about a7iv audio levels vs the a7iii, it seems I have to up the levels from around 2-3 on the a7iii to about 7-10 on the a7iv when using my blink saramonic lavaliers wireless system, have you encountered this also?
Amazing message at the end. Subscribed
Legend thank you for watching until the end
Congrats on your diploma!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you Sendy. (it's also a degree ;) haha) three more extra years for that word
love you Brother🧡
I got a battery grip and it’s amazing. So much more comfortable
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
What’s the min and max iso you would recommend for shooting outdoors at night? Thanks!
Congratulations on your accomplishment Brother!
thank you
Bro I’m subscribed because you have really professional skils.
I’m ready to purchase my first camera for video production and podcasts,
Is it worth to buy the sony as3 or is there a better option for video production.
So yes wich lens is good for video production for podcasts, sometimes in lowlight conditions
Greetings from the Netherlands
you get the cleanest and best image ever if you get your basic shutterspeed and aperture correct, for that you need ISO and the sony7iv does an excellent job delivering a good image quality at ISO 10k, even ISO20k, if you wanted to get some nice nighttime pictures dont get discouraged to use a higher ISO, test out your own cameras max potneital and then learn how to adjust pictures on photolab dxO..
Also great message to end the video
Thanks for all the A7IV tips!
Thank you. Hope it helps in some way
hey man, good job, was very interesting, take care, regards from canary islands
Canary islands! Amazing. Happy holidays
Well done! Thanks. I noticed you have a rig setup on your intro. Do you feel that there is no longer a need for a Gimbal with today's A7's?
great video...….good insight of what to expect as I am getting this camera soon :-)
I shooting Videos on slog 3 with iso automatic and the light correction, allways Set it to +2
Beautiful words at the end
Thank you for watching until the end
Great Message to everybody Bud! Very Thoughtful. :-)
Super useful as always, thanks!
Thank you! Hope it helps in some way
What the heck, I see Pony in the shots. That's crazy.
Thank you
Do you know what the two base ISO are for the Sony a7iii?
Does apply to this Photo mode also for the a7iv?
Excellent info.
Hi Jason and congratulations on your exams ! Perfect instructive video for me, as I am mainly a photographer...AND YES, thanks for also taking care of other people. Happy to see that there are still people like you on earth !
Awesome!
Thank you so much, so in the night better s-cinetone for Sony A7IV right? And in the day s-log3 is better ?
Hi Jason. Your subtitles in this video are Dutch. Please change the subtitle settings to English.
Congratulations, and thanks for the good content.
Thank you very much. Hope it helps in some way
Low light is awesome a lot better than the gopro and almost as good as my G9. Love the video.
haha the gopro is horrible in low light unfortunately :(
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema The whole comment is a joke lol the g9 is ok but not up to full frame standards
Good 👍 Sir S cine tone Exposure Point lemt
2.0
1.7
which best
All dependant on what you want your subject exposure to be. No real correct way. Maybe preserve skin tones at 60% exposure or preserve highlights or don’t underexposed shadows. Too many ways to expose
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thank You For your reply 🥰
very informative!! could you please tell me what zebra level do you use and what white balance did you set in low light video?
Thank you so much for the video!! I've been looking for a cage for the a7iv, where did you get yours?! Does it work with a7iii cages? Its so new that no one has info out on it
Hey man, new subscriber here! Discovered you from Peter Lindgren, love your content 👌🏻 out of interest which lens did your shoot the low light stuff with?
Does it heat a lot or have an overheat?? Because my camera is heating in any mode except Foto mode (( really disappointing
What a great video
Thanks for the information! Quick question and hopefully not a dumb one, when it comes to dual native ISO, does that pertain only to video or does it apply to stills also. Will a still shot at ISO 3200 be cleaner than shot at 2500?
hey man its not a dumb question...I'm wondering the same thing.... I do photo and so far everything I've seen is just saying 400 iso is where the dual iso starts .... but what does that mean??? That the camera is garbage for anything above 400?? I used a a7ii before and I was able to use iso's up to 1600 with no issues...but now the sony a7iv is telling me I shouldn't do that?? Something aint' right... and I'm talking photo as well....not video
@@mariomalmanza hey there.. have had the A7IV for a while now so understand it a bit more. For stills the second native ISO is 400. Doesn't mean that above that is garbage though. I shoot a lot at ISO 1600 and sometimes at 3200. Looks pretty good. Usually better to try to expose correctly at the higher ISOs. You can bring up the exposure and shadows in post but you get more noise that way. If I'm shooting for example at around ISO 250 or 320 I'll just increase it to 400 and bring up my shutter speed. If you do video and use for example Slog-3 than it's ISO 800 and second native 3200.
Oh shit I went to Griffith Film School too a couple years ago. Congrats on graduating.
Heck yeah small world! Hope you're doing well
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema yea doing alright. I work at a studio in Woolloongabba mainly doing editing.
@@gabriel101x sick! Congrats. Hope you keep killing it
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thanks, you too!
Hi Jason.. thanks for this beautiful informative video. I have some questions. I am using Fuji xt4 for my video and photo work. (I am not a professional yet). I want to switch/upgrade to Sony. Will the Sony A7iv serves the purpose. Switching from Fuji xt4 to Sony? And the 4K 60p with super 35 crop.. please suggest. Thanks and congratulations for your graduation. 👏👏
So would you say that s-cinetone would be a better profile for low light than slog2/3?
What is the base ISO for HLG3?
I will have to check this as I don't film in HLG in the a7iv
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Ok. Thanks. I’m waiting because I always shoot in HLG3 for HDR videos!
New sub here. Love the info, and thanks for sharing. Just a suggestion(take it or leave it). It was tough watching the info while listening to the loop of the squirrel hip hop in the background. ✌🏼
You know what, I love your honesty. Thank you for that feedback. If some9ne hates it they won't explain and just give a blunt comment. I commend you
Congratulation on your degree!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Congrats on graduating!
thank you thomas!
I set on my A7 iv slog3 and test it on both base iso 800 and 3200. And I still have grain , it's not like in Your samples in that video. What can be wrong then ?
Can I film higher than 500 iso on S cinetone as 500 sometimes ain’t enough
Congratulations!!!
Anyone in photo mode getting hundreds of white dots across their darker images? It's showing up in Lightroom Classic and Sony's Imaging Edge app.
For base ISO, is there a button to activate or you just manually set the ISO normally at either 2 settings?
