I wish this had a timeline or chapters. But thanks for doing this
It's good to see a ton of option, but it would be ccol to have some real word examples too. I keep hearing the word "basic" and it takes 40 minutes to explain. lol These could easily be 5 minute videos for each function. When I get mine I'm just gonna take it out, with the manual, and give everything a go and see what works.
I appreciate the feedback and I added some Chapter Markers for easier navigation... 👊
I didn't mean that to sound so negative. This is actually a very cool video. I probably should have said this is a super detailed and instructional video, and Sony's menu system is really deep. You really did a great job with this video and I'm sorry I didn't point that out in my previous post. And thanks for adding the chapters. On my favorites list now.@@Jason_Hermann
@@boomergrown No worries at all, and you were right I should have added the navigation... The reason I didn't if you are curious is because the concepts build off one another and if you skip ahead stuff might not make sense depending. Then I get questions that really were covered in the beginning for example, so I was trying to limit that. In any event this type of video should really have chapters so if you come back it's easier to find something you may have forgotten etc... All the best and thanks again d for the very kind words :)
Just bought a A6700, your videos help me very much, great job
First time someone actually explained in plain English exactly what i needed to understand about focusing on my Sony camera. Well done and thank you.
This guy is fantastic. No ski cap, no tattoos, no multi colored hair, no bullshit intro or lousy background music. To the point with clear descriptions. Why does he not have 300k views. I'm going to promote him on my sites. It's like going back to sanity.
I don't understand your opinion about tattoo or strange colors 😂... But I agree with you this guy is "The alive manual" of this camera! Super!
As newcomer to the A6700 I think I have watched all of the videos about it. This is without a doubt the very best one. Thank you very much
Glad it was helpful and I have a few others on the A6700 as well 👊
I agree.. is a kind of human manual 🙂
This was the video I've been looking for, for the a6700. Had this camera for 7 months now and haven't touched it. Other videos i came across just weren't touching up on the small stuff, talking way too fast, or just weren't going into detail about the little things I didn't know about Sony cameras. Thanks again!
I'm really glad you found what you were looking for!👍
Huge thanks Jason. I cannot overstate how pleasant it was hearing your voice, your vocabulary and your tremendously practical and smart overviews and tips. I made copious notes listening to you and others, 12 pages in all. I did that to set up my recently acquired Sony a6700. That's what I do, I go through a menu and set out its details in a multicolumn table. Many thanks. I've subscribed.
Jason, thank you so much for making your videos. When I bought my ZV-E10 I watched your video on the menu system, and now that I’m buying the 6700 I am re-watching the new menu system. I greatly appreciate the time you spend to systematically step through all the settings. Thank you. Sony should be paying you for these!!!
Great to hear Keith and thank you very much for sharing you kind words :) Comments like these just make my day!👊
This is super helpful. Just got an A6700. First Sony. The focus system is incredibly capable but it's deep and not very transparent. Thanks a ton. Just subscribed.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your videos on Sony and particularly focusing systems and the A7iv!
You are very welcome and thank you very much for your generous Super Thanks Jim :)
definetely one of the best videos I've watched. I like the way you've explained theory and wrapped it up with a practice examples. thanks!
Glad you liked it :)
Just got my A6700 today and this video is so, so helpful! Thank you!
You're very welcome and thanks for the kind words :)
You deserve all the best things in life. Just got my a6700 and this was so helpful. Thank you so much!!
mannnn.... this video deserves a million thumbs up and views!!! this is great! thanks Jason!
I'm really glad you found it valuable and thank you for the very kind words :)
Thank you soo much I was wondered why my A6700 won't Pre Auto focus before I touch the shutter button half way in photography mode .
I was thinking maybe my camera is deficit or something because I bought it used like new .
but your guide helped me fixes this thing ( just turned on pre - AF )
thank you again
Thank you! This was super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Jason, Thank you so much for this most informative video. I have some experience with the Sony system, but I did not understand all the features as you have presented them. Your video makes understanding the features and setting up the camera soooo much easier. Thank you again from a new subscriber.😊
Glad it was helpful and I really appreciate the kinds words :)
Ok watching this video for the second time and things started to make sense to me. whoohoo! This is a great video. Thank you!
Awesome!
So I got this as my C camera and I freaking love it so far ! Such a great companion to my A7IV
cameras are very confusing thank you very much super helpful
Thanks for this. I got my A6700 less than two weeks ago. I had the A6500. I love it the new camera (as well as the old), kinda same body but with hyperdrive and a touch of better image quality. And I'm still trying to figure it out. This helped tremendously.
This was extremely helpful and well put together, thank you!
Really good, thanks. Simply and slowly worked through
Thanks for all the work you put in on this Jason. Subbed.
Great video!!!!
That's an awesome video. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
What a great video, thanks a lot - EXCELLENT explanations. But one request: An equally detailed explanation on how to use the My menu (star *) function. That one defeats me:-)
Another FANTASTIC video -- GREAT JOB
Thank you! Cheers!
So helpful to decipher those encrypted messages! Thank u so much!
You are very welcome!
just bought my first sony from nikon - great video and explanation
Very good video, helped me alot with my new a6700
Great video. I wish I came across this before I went shooting yesterday 😅
Very well explained. thank you so much!
You're very welcome and Happy New year!
Very Nice
Balay Realty
Thanks for this video - much clearer and more complete than anything I've seen. It's great that you include what camera button you're pressing - sometimes hard to figure that out from others' videos. Question: is there a way to change the focus area when using Clear Image Zoom, or to set up different focus areas for CIZ? It always seems to default to wide whenever I switch CIZ on - especially birds on a salt marsh, where the marsh grass in the background is higher contrast than the subject.
When in clear image zoom mode you are very limited due to the amount of calculations the camera is making all at the same time.
14:00 Aperture Drive in AF, is “focus priority” faster and the best choice when in continuous focus and Hi+ when shooting people, birds or cars? TIA. Excellent continent.
Yes and you are very welcome 👍
Please what lens do you recommend, for this camera. The goal is to create content and photograph the family.
Perhaps watch this video czcams.com/video/cDWUNhv300Q/video.html and you will have a better ideal of what you need? It's really hard to say just get this lens for everything, but a great do everything lens would be a zoom lens like the Tamron 17-70mm geni.us/d3s70B or the sigma 18-50mm geni.us/OXPD6 for example...
Great video, Jason. Thanks!
Great vid thanks! Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
This is a great video, thank you!
Man you love using air quotes a bit to much is that the main thing they tech you at school in USA a lot of people use air quotes from USA not as much as you thanks for the great video 👍
haha, I have no idea... Sometimes I use air quotes, but I don't think I have in a long time... Every video I make I seam to always have some kind of crutch... For example I will I say Umm or Like to way to many times, or in my opinion, etc...
@Jason_Hermann It's fine, brother. As long as you keep making these helpful videos!
If I’m using self timer and want it to autofocus on myself once I get in front of the camera upon clicking the shutter, what settings should I be on? It would autofocus too early at the wrong area..
Merci pour votre vidéo, j'attends mon Sony a6700
Great!
Nice overview, but WOW ...the options seem overwhelming. Can't wait to get mine and put it to some real world tests to see what I'll use the most.
There are almost to many options it seams like I agree, but the camera works so good with default settings you do not need to worry so much. It's nice to know that you can dial the settings in for specific use cases though if you ever need to. For example if doing wildlife with small birds, vs taking portraits of your kid, you would want different settings applied ;) Subject detection in particular, but possible the focus mode and drive mode as well... All the best, Jay
Great Video, it's a pity that Full Time DMF not working with every lens, for example it doesn't with Viltorx 85 1.8
Thank you and yeah great point I forgot to mention that Sony lenses are fully compatible and yeah, some of older designed and non Sony lenses do not support all features...
Jason first timer…thanks for your videos. I just got the 6700 and a 70-350 mm lens. Why doesnt AF-c work? When I hit the trash can it says it’s currently disabled.
I figured it out….thx
I was trying to auto focus in timer mode and couldn’t get camera to auto focus on timed release. So how do I take a picture of myself by using delayed shutter release?
Yeah that is not how the camera works unfortunately. You can set something up where you will be standing so the camera is pre-focused correctly, or you can record 4k video and snag a screen shot for a selfie portrait really quick which I find the easiest way, if I don'[t need a super high resolution photo file. Lastly you can ask somebody to take the shot for you...
I’m kind of overwhelmed with the focus system on my Sony A7iv… I think this video will be very helpful… I’m going to have to keep coming back to it I think… And I assume most of this applies to the A7iv as well as the 6700. Thanks!!
Yes, the focus systems are very similar, but this camera has the new Ai tech where as the a74 does not... I have a lot of Sony A7IV videos you might want to check out as well here: czcams.com/play/PL3SqIRuKwn7_8Gz9Cn_nReK4xol7KLVm7.html
@@Jason_Hermann thank you so much for this link. These videos will be very helpful I'm sure!
What setting is good on the a6700 for CZcams unboxing videos? I want me and the product not to be blurry. Also is the auto focus good when showing the product and then going back to my face? Thanks
Easier said than done if you want you and the product to be in focus at the same time. You will need to move back from the camera and stop the lens dow to about f/5.6 to f/8 I would say. If your face is in the scene the camera by default will stay locked on that unless you cover it. You can turn off facial recognition and then the camera will focus on whatever is closest in the given focus area you have selected.
Thank you for the excellent review of this subject, is the auto focus as good as it is on the A7 iv?
It's slightly better actually thanks to the Ai Chip....
@@Jason_Hermann Thanks, Just bought one today with the Sigma 10-18mm and a Sony 70-350mm. I'm sure I will enjoy it, Thanks again
waiting for a store to get the camera in ;( i kinda want the 18-135 kit lens is it bad? videos ive seen seemed good
It's pretty good overall and I reviewed it a few years ago here if you want a close look: czcams.com/video/FQ1mlFqONJs/video.html
Hi
Thank you for the video
What is the purpose of the AF on button on the camera?
Hello and great question!
You can use the AF-ON button to adjust the focus without pressing the shutter button halfway down ([AF On] function) in the following cases:
When you want to focus at a specific shooting distance predicting the position of the subject,
When you want to focus and release the shutter separately.
When shooting a movie, you can perform auto-focusing while holding down the AF-ON button even in the manual focusing mode.
When you set the camera to AF-C and center, and say the focus locks, I don't understand what you mean? Is it that the focus distance locks? Or is it that the camera will continue to adjust focus distance keeping whatever object you had locked on in focus? Or is it locked on a point on the screen, meaning that if I had center focus, and I point at something else, the camera will then focus on whatever is now at the center of the screen? There are several factors which could be locked, so which one are you talking about?
Yeah, it's a bit confusing based on the words I used, sorry about that... In AF-C is not really locking on anything but continuously focusing. So if there is a face it will sort of appear to lock on the face and track it if within the AF area used even if the face moves. It's really just constantly focusing though on what is closest to the camera and/or depending if you have facial priority on that will over ride. AF-S will actually lock the focus point to a given spot if you hold the shutter button down half way. You can then move the camera or subject and the focus point stays locked until you take photo or release the shutter button.
@@Jason_Hermann What I want to do is have a focus rectangle in the center of the screen (or viewer) and focus the bird that I see in that rectangle and the rectangle changes to green, then I can fully press the shutter button and take the picture. Or just click the shutter and focusing and taking the picture completes in one action. Or I can re-point the a6700 again so that a different bird is in the rectangle and focus on that other bird in the rectangle which remains in the center of the screen. Just focus on the center of the screen in a dumb fashion, nothing fancy, no tracking.
@@fearlessleader1477 So you should try AF-S for the focus mode and Center Fix area which gives you a box int he center, or you can use Spot area which has small, medium, and large size boxes to chose from, and you can move the box around if you want. Center just stays in the center. Does that make sense? In addition you can set the touch operation to touch focus, and that will allow you to touch the screen in whatever spot you want and it will leave a box there as your focus area until you cancel the touch.
Hello, I want to use focus stacking in studio photography. However, I will need 1.5 seconds for the flashes to charge. Is there a setting to extend the time between photo shoots? Thank you
When you have a registered face, will the camera in c-af tracking mode prioritize that face? Thinking when recording my son playing soccer, whether that alone is good or if i should rather stick to tracking af and select him manually?
I would try both methods and see what works best. I never actually used facial priority in a sports environment myself as I just prefer tracking the subject with a limited AF area of my choosing depending on the scene. It's more of a traditional method, but I would like to try the face priority method at some point... I feel like it would be better for slower speed where it's like a group of people standing around sort of thing, but again I need to test that out in the real world sports environment to know for sure. If you do try it, please report back if you don't mind...
Thanks for this vídeo, i have seen that you can update the camera throw the app instead of a sd card. Is that possible? Thanks
Hey Jason,great video as always.
Jason,I have a Sony A7C,I would like to upgrade it ,I was ready to get the A7 IV but with this one now,Im doubting so,what's your recomendación, this one or the A7 IV,and don't worry about my decisions because if I make a mistake, I don't gonna be saying that my mistake was because of you, I already have my thought but another professional opinion could help me more.
Thanks Jason and as always say, you're the BEST.
The rumor is that two new A7C cameras will be released in 2 months.
@@Jthe5th 🤔
Hello and sorry for the delayed reply... I would consider waiting a few weeks based on the rumors I am seeing about the A7C2 and A7CR cameras that might be coming soon...
I'll wait then,thanks for the advice!!!!
@@Jason_Hermann
When I switch from one object that I focussed on to another my camera (a6700) does not automatically sharpen the other image...It should to it by itself without me pressing the button...Can you help me and fix my problem?
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for for your review, those info is useful for me, and still, can you test the video follow focus perfomance when connect to a external hdmi monitor, cause in sony before model, the performance of video follow focus will drastically drop when connecting to a external monitor.
I did not notice any difference in performance when hooked up to the HDMI, but I only tested in my studio with that set-up. Older cameras would lose Eye AF and stuff like that when plugged into HDMI, is that what you are thinking about?
@@Jason_Hermann yes, that's exactly what i wanted to know, thanks alot, i'll buy one soon
I am undecided, this camera is at the same price as the Sony a7iii and a7c, I don't know if the technological leap in focus and 10-bit video is enough to give up a full frame censor. What do you think?
I would say for regular photography no it's not worth it myself, but if you are into sports or log video shooting and stuff it might make sense for you.
@@Jason_Hermann thank you:)
Hi Jason, thanks for this, it’s helping me a lot! I have a question if I may. Just got my A6700 and it’s my first Sony, I just can’t seem to make the AF works well on wide area mode. The situation is filiming real estate, I need a continuous moving take, and I need it to be in focus most of the time when I’m turning the camera from one side to the other, but it gets really lost and most of the shot ends up out of focus. And don’t know what to do anymore since I tested different speeds for focus shit and transition.
Hey there and thanks for the kind words :) By your question it sounds like you are walking around the house and letting the camera focus on whatever it wants using wide area? That is not the way to go for real estate! You really want to rain that focus area in to a smaller zone or possible even manual. The camera by default is going to focus on whatever is closest to the camera, unless it sees a face and you have facial recognition ON. So knowing that is very important when it comes to real estate photography in particular. I would suggest using center focus area to help limit what the camera focus's on based on what you are aiming at in the center area. I think that will help you out a lot and also slowing the focus transition speed, and sensitivity down a bit may help...
@@Jason_Hermannthanks for the tips Jason! As I said, my first Sony and I coming from entrance level canons, so I’m really not use to a lot of setup options. Gonna test as you said! Thanks again
@@giancarlocipolla4254 Anytime and it takes a lot of practice also.. I've heard a lot of real estate photographers shoot at f/8-f/11 which does help limit the depth of field play as the focus changes. Downside to the higher f-stop is the ISO will need to be higher which is why you want all the lights on in the house and blinds open for sure 👍 It depends on what you are doing though, because I would want to highlight some details in a house with some depth using a lens at a lower f-stop of f/1.8 for example. A feature detail b-roll type of clip is what I am thinking.
Does touch focus tracking work in 4K 120 fps ?
Yes, that is how I go the quad footage in 4k/120p if you watched my review....
Hi, I've found out that sometimes it struggles to start focusing in video mode when using GM100-400, even when transition is set to 7. Like when you aim at something and it has heavy bokeh and the camera doesn't start to search. Any advice? And thank you for the detailed movie.
Hi Jason, That was a great review. I have just purchased an A6700. Is it possible in Video Mode to Start/Stop continous Auto Focus, I'm a hybrid wildlife photographer and don't want the AF to be continously focusing while I'm framing my shot, especially for birds in flight. I hope this is possible as I can't find it in custom settings
Hello Martin, That is a great question and yes for sure there is a way to do that by using Focus Hold... You can custom program that to a button, but it should be the button on the lens by default if your lens has a button.
Hi Jason, Thank you for your fast reply. I have the 100-400 GM Lens so it does have the buttons you mentioned. Is it possible to Assign a button on the camera to toggle continuous Auto Focus On/Off in video Mode. Where do I locate this custom function in the Menu?
Cheers Martin.
@@martineldridge1319 Hey Martin, You can program a custom button to AF/MF Selector Toggle and it will do what exactly what you are asking.. MENU → (Setup) → [Operation Customize] → [Custom Key/Dial Set.] or [Custom Key/Dial Set.] → desired button → [AF/MF Selector Hold] or [AF/MF Selector Toggle]. The Focus hold button is sort of a toggle for turning AF/MF on and off. Alternatively you can use the AF/MF switch on the lens if you want to leave it off for a while and don'e want to hold the button down.
@@Jason_Hermann Wow you’re are star. Thank you very much for all your help. Very much appreciated.
I took some photo of people in bycicle come to me and I used single shot (first setting). Super bad result. Probably because the time when I found the focus (soft press) and the time when I shoot was too long and I lost the focus. Can be this the reason? Probably not the best for moving objects
Yeah that was the problem most likely. You want to use AF-C mode with moving subjects and you also want to make sure your shutter speed is fast enough to freeze the action as well.
So is it warm when you in lab?
72F degrees
no music. Thank you.
thx for this awesome guide to the focus. I tried the AF Assist while filming, but it does not work. You got a tip for me?
I think I figured it out by myself, the AF Assist did not work with my tampon 11-20 and 17-70, but it works with my sony 35mm/1.8 and the Sony 70-350. Is it possible, that you can confirm this? thx
Yeah, it does not work with all lenses that is accurate...
Hi Jason, I heard the shutter release sound when you took some shots in your lab so I wonder did you use mechanical shutter type? So far I could not find the way of how to enable the shutter release sound when using Electronic shutter type. Any thoughts and thank you for your helpful info!
I always use mechanical shutter in photography mode unless I need the camera to be silent for some reason or in extremely bright conditions where the max mechanical shutter is not enough. I don't think you can have it make a shutter sound with electronic shutter enabled. I can't find anything in the manual saying you can do that. You can change the silent mode settings though, which might do what you want? helpguide.sony.net/ilc/2320/v1/en/contents/0414D_silent_mode_setting.html?search=shutter%20sound
@@Jason_Hermann Thank you for your response and I agree that we cannot have a shutter sound when electronic shutter (ES) is enable on A6700. From my view of having the ES is to minimize the impact of shooting environment, to let the image processor's horse power to decide the frame rate and to reduce mechanical shutter wear-out. I wish the camera has an option to enable/disable a shutter sound allowing people know whether a photo was taken or not as desired.
Anybody here experiencing a slight dead-zone in half press of the shutter button? Even in the beginning part of this video ( 6:43 ), I see Jason is having to half-press the shutter button more than once in order to engage it. This is absolutely something which one can get used to pretty fast, but becomes a slight irritation when switching cameras. (A7iv in my case)
Can someone confirm this? Is this just button design? or do I have a faulty piece?
I never noticed what you are describing and I have the A74, A7C2 and A6700... So not sure if you are possible more sensitive to the touch of the shutter, or if there is an issue with your camera.
@@Jason_Hermann Thanks for taking the time to respond! Have a great day 🙌
@32:00 you say, AF-S is good to focus on something and then reframe. I guess you mean AF-C (!), because AF-S wouldnt refocus if you reframe. And you need to refocus!
Focusing on something and then reframing in AF-S, means the focus does not change during the re-framing part. If you are in AF-C it will focus the whole time you are moving the camera around. Af-S used to be super handy before we had facial recognition, because I would often focus on a subjects eye, then reframe the shot for a better composition. This is what we had to do back int he day, but things are much easier now.👍
@@Jason_Hermann But now we DO have focus tracking and all that stuff in that camera, so why you talk about AF-S and not tracking and AF-C? That makes no sense. If you dont use those two things and reframe, you are out of focus. So AF-C is the way to go, not AF-S
@@checkoff8281 Because the camera has a lot of tools at our disposal and tracking does not always work for everything. Also, some people do not like using the touch screen. There are many ways to use the auto focus settings for various scenarios. I did talk about tracking in this video as well and how you use the camera is up to you. I'm trying to show you all the ways you can use it in this video which is why it so long. Also, there are many other videos on youtube covering this topic, so be sure to see if others can help you out as well. All the best, Jay
Great camera, but fast overheat 😥
Thanks for the great video Jason. Does the subject recognition and tracking work in the AF-S mode too?
Edit: I found the answer I was looking for in your other 1 hour plus video on the a6700 menu! Jeez your videos are an amazing starting point for anyone who’s bought or is interested to buy the camera mate. Massive respect 🫡
Need help when I press the center button on the back dial in place of getting the focus point on or off as you show it is taking me to the focus area screen every time. How can I get it to work like you are showing?. What do you have the back center dial set to ? Mine is set to focus area what should it be?. Thanks
Mine is set to Focus Standard and I'm pretty sure yours is the same? The option to move the focus area around only works with some of the focus area modes. The text needs to be up on the screen with the little circle letting you know you can select the area to move it or not... For example Zone, Spot, and expand spot have it, but center fix and wide area do not...
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words :)
Jayson, for some reason I and only seeing 2 focus modes on mine AF-C -> Continuous AF and MF -> Manual Focus. I see nothing else. What lens are you using? Does it matter as to the options you are getting? NM… I was in video and photo mode.
You have the camera set to video mode or photo?
@@Jason_Hermann I had it set to video mode but the dial above it I had set to P.
