      Does the recommendation not to shoot below ISO 640 (A7S3) apply to other profiles like cine 2? Thanks.

    • @Clouder77
      @Clouder77 Před 2 lety

      I have the a7IV, but new to video side of things. I want to shoot in S-Log 3, so should I leave my iso set all the time to 800 for vlogging or give it a range that is good for daylight and lowlight? I have a variable nd 2-5 stops, but not sure if I need a 6-9. I mainly shoot during the day outside or indoors not in a studio setting, so need to set it up for that 90% of the time. Also should I just shoot in A priority and not worry about the other settings?

    • @squaresaucemedia

  • @kravdraa7
    @kravdraa7 Před 2 lety

    Over the years I have seen many short films giving tips, hints, and instruction. Most have endless intros filled with waffling and information that the viewer should already know. Then the remainder is often convoluted and irrelevant. This is the first time I have seen one that goes straight to the point, maintains the relevance, and clearly explains why certain settings are the best starting point.
    Genuinely, one of the best videos I have ever seen on CZcams! Thank you.

  • @stevemartis97
    @stevemartis97 Před 2 lety

    I'm a beginner and I use my A7iii mainly for video. This is the first channel that I came across that talked about noisy footage no matter how well the scene is lit or how low the ISO is. This helped a lot, thank you!

    Noob videographer here, though I have been a pro photographer for years. I was struggling with my color grading in Sony. White shirts were blue, lips were purple, and skies were too green. It was a mess. Then I tried your simple-to-understand instructions and - boom! - it worked! I look like a quick study videographer, ready to go shoot for clients now. Thank you!

    @CarleBrisson Před 3 lety +2

    I watch a ton of videos on the Sony A7s* cameras but I find that yours are the most immediately useful to me. Without going into too too much technical detail, you get right to the point on what works for you and why. I find this approach often matches my real world use scenarios as well - even though I'm not a wedding filmmaker. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Matt!

  • @cinqo7
    @cinqo7 Před 2 lety +1

    I want to thank you for this excellent tutorial and for giving all of us your camera settings to copy them to our cameras. Pt 1 and Pt 2 of the A7SIII settings plus this How to Expose in SLOG3 video helped me achieve absolutely great results last week. Your settings are really practical and really work, and your tips are to the point. Unless other self-proclaimed gurus (e.g. Mark Galer) your tips actually made me shoot the video with the cinematic look I was looking. Other CZcamsrs DON'T give away all their tricks. They are selfish with their "secrets".

    So grateful for this. My new A7IV arrived a day before I headed to the beach for 4 days. Sadly, a lot of my footage was shot at ISOs that were too low. Shooting HLG3 on my A7III I was always able to get away with a 2-5 stop variable ND... looks like I'll be ordering something a bit stronger. Thanks Matt, keep up the great work!

      @vvsvisuals5067 Před 2 lety +1

      I shoot in slog3 on my Sony a7iii with no noise and perfectly exposed with no zebras. With one simple trick. Both slog2 and 3 are both meant to stay at iso 800 set shutter for “filmish look” and use aperture to let light in or to darken image.
