It’s like the Bugatti Veyron of cameras. Max out everything. When Sony said a couple years ago that they wanted to dominate the camera and history, they were NOT joking
If you want speed, use your smartphone camera. This doesn't even come close to Fuji mediums in terms of photos, let alone a Hassy. Veyron? More like DC Avanti😂
Because the camera isn't actually seeing it in the black. The ISO is being pumped up so the eye AF can find the eye but the live view is not showing that, the live view is showing you what your exposure is.
7:45 For the a7RIII and A7III peeps, the setting you're looking for is "Live View Disp. Sel." Although I'm not sure what Manny is talking about when he says you need to hold down the button 🤷♂️ i have a a7III and i just press the custom button I assigned it to and it toggles on and off. I also wouldn't call it a hack since it's built in to the system menu.

In my Nikon Z6, i set the Joystick middle press to exposure preview. So when i connect a trigger and i need to check the ambient exposure, i just press the Joystick button and it shows the original exposure. I use a ad400 pro and likes to make the background way darker then real so it helps.
When he said “it’s like running premier pro on a Mac” + I use Canon R, I feel attacked Lool - Great review though impressive specs looking forward to seeing that S Cine video on the A1 too 🙌🏾❤️
Are you going to do snow test shots with it? I love the snow photos you've done with your wife and I learned several tricks. Also, forget about the outro Manny, I personally love it's simplicity. Your content is already instant K.O.
If you use HSS anyway it doesn’t make a difference...lol, you can pretty’s much get a HSS flash for 70 bucks nowadays nobody cares about strain on a flash, and who uses 400 shutter speed inside anyways unless you’re shooting action or something. The 400 sync speed was a rare and dumb reason to justify why the a1 is so much better then Canon or Nikon, sounding like a fanboy IMO. Comparing the A1 and Canon when you were doing a first impression video didn’t make any sense just tell people what you like about the camera no need to start being a fan boy, nobody ever said man what if the sync speed was 400, when there’s so many HSS flashes for cheap people don’t really care about sync speed anymore because the flash tech has change so much. Just my opinion
wow, that's one helluva camera!. I guess it does what you'd expect a $6500 camera to do. There's nothing that I do that would justify spending that kind of cash. 50MP is more than I will ever need. The video stuff is meaningless to me since I'm not a video guy. Still, so good to see Sony pushing the envelope and coming out with this monster camera. They're not resting on their laurels. Thanks for the quick look, Manny
Your overheating test was done with the auto shutdown temp set to standard. If you set it to high it can record over an hour straight in 8k and will essentially never overheat in 4k.
@@DreamReleases Considering the camera will still "overheat" and shutdown even with the auto shutdown temp set to high I think it's fine. Sony also says it's perfectly fine and safe with the only caveat being that it will get hot to the touch externally. I'll trust Sony over people making baseless statements on the internet.
@@MADagain Everyone universally was asking for a flip out display? I think not, lots of people prefer a tilting display because it remains in line with the lens and keeps a smaller footprint.
Manny!! I think you are the first photographer that says anything about this annoying problem with Dslr's I Thank you! For pointing it out, my respects to you, Man I'm learning lots of techniques with you! The Sony A1 is an amazing camera! Blessings to you and your family.
@Manny Ortiz Ambient light preview with a flash attached on the R5 and R6 is 2 button presses. Hit [AF point selection button] then hit [Set] and it will go from simulated exposure to ambient. Hit the shutter button and it will display the simulated again.
Great video Manny!!! Would be so great to shoot 1/32000 in bright situation and maybe together with my Sigma 105mm f1.4 and a strong HSS flash😍 Can‘t wait.
I’m sure you can turn on live preview for ambient with flash. I can do it with my Fuji XT2, and I’m sure I did it with the A7iii a few times. Maybe it only works when using the EVF and not the LCD
Many, can you address following issues EVF does not work in the sun, it goes black when hit by sun and requires restart Autofocus often works bad in lowlight and when backlit. Autofocus weird glitches where it focuses on background and not foreground High noise levels even at low ISO, in lowlight I had very noticeable noise even at ISO400 High battery consumption, much higher than A9/A9ii Eye autofocus often front focuses onto the nose When used in sun I had camera completely block many times, requiring battery to be taken out. IBIS issue where IBIS is switched off under certain conditions
I just wanted to add something to what Manny said about the faster flash sync speed. When shooting with HHS flash where the flash has to illuminate the whole sensor as the shutter slit scams over the sensor at all speeds above the flash sync speed this camera will multiply your usable light power form your HSS strome by one full stop. this means if you needed a 2,000 w/s pack now you can do the same thing with half the power. This alone can pay for the difference in price of an a1 vs a Canon r5 if you need to budget for HSS for shooting outdoor at high shutter speeds or in studio at high speeds.
Only reason I wan sony to do good with A1 is to push Canon to do even better !! The truth is I think R5 is much better deal for the money ! And that’s all that matters! What you get for what you pay.. is the Sony a bit better ? Yes is it worth the $1600 more ? HELLL NO 😂
Camera is a beast, but I’m fine with my a7r iii and a7s iii. Was expecting to see Cinetone on the a7s iii :( The rhino v2 looks solid! Paralaxxxxxx. I’m on v1.
This is a good camera... it’s an all around so a good balance for videographers and photographers... so if you’re someone that works between both fields, this would be a good camera... but at about 7k lol I’m getting a cinematic camera 😂 (canon c100mkii, canon c200, or even one of Sony’s cinematic line cameras). I love Sony! They do a good job of separating (blogger/vlogger cameras, photographer cameras, and videography cameras, and cinematic cameras). It almost makes you feel like your going down a rabbit hole of which one to purchase. To be honest, all of Sony’s cameras are very similar, and the average person will never use all the functions on many of the high line price cameras. Grow as you go with there mirrorless line, and identify what medium you are using. A Sony a6000 still is very strong, and so is a Sony a7iii. Now if you have the money go crazy, but it’s subjective.
Hello. Love all the videos. Honest question, presently have 2 Sony A7iii and a great assortment of the lenses. Wedding & portrait photographer. Sony A9 or A9ii? Sony A9ii $4500 or Sony A1 $6500? Thank you in advance
If these technologies come on over to the A7IV, best believe I will list my A7III for sale and use the proceeds to buy the A7IV. So far, the A1 is looking great even if out of my budget and needs.
Manny the problem is that if you are see only the ambient light in cases like backlight or harsh sun, you can miss details like what face your client is doing for example smile, bad posture etc because they face are in shadow, not all people shoot pro models, i need to control and see what my client is doing before take a photo.
Manny, mechanical shutter has a bad shake on a7RIV under 1/250 and you can pretty much see it on every third photo, so if you shoot under 1/1000 always go for first curtain sync. Plus it's more responsive. I almost sold my camera a7RIV, when I used your recommended settings as I shoot 99% of the time in lower shutter speeds. I wanted to blame 61 MP, but in fact was wrong setting that made it problematic. You don't notice bokeh difference under 1/1000... why I am writing you this as I hear you have you camera set that way, that's why you like your a1's shutter more.
In my so many years of shooting.. I've never and I dont see myself doing video. If Sony release another camera.. same specs as A1.. remove the video ability.. reduce the price to 4-5k? I bet.. It will sell ALOT.. and personally.. I will buy 2. Yes.
Manny, how is high ISO performance? One of my favorite lenses is the 100mm STF GM. With a f stop of 2.8 but an effective T stop of 5.6 it has never been something to use in low light without a flash or strobe. I'm wondering how it would perform on the a1.
🛑 🛑 🛑 Hi Manny, I enjoy and appreciate all your videos. I am thinking I will get the Fx3 & A1. 🔴🟠🟢 Have you shoot with Hasselblad? If no, how come? Will you in the future? Thanks 🤩 🙏🏾
for $7,500 to get it working without a lens; it better lick my boots. Only the most skilled samurai qualify to wield the Honjō Masamune. You deserve this Manny, it was made for your hands. I have no idea why they all can't just do all that foot tapping flash sync, preview, exposure needs ... it's just nerdy software program.; who is making these cameras, sushi chefs?
It's like $7000, it better have some nice tricks!!! I am sure the doctors and dentists will love this camera, even though they probably are shooting Canon or Nikon or Fuji medium format. Canon and Nikon better hurry up and get a $6000 body out there!
That 2/3rd stop difference in flash sync is going to set the world on fire. People are just dying to shoot at 1/400th. Nah! The camera is dope on paper and as it appears in person. Certainly will help with video but not believing that photos will see a revolutionary increase in quality. We'll see. I do love the fact Sony is pushing innovation forward.
G David I love your style of photography it matches my taste in street photography this warm crisp skin toon OMG 😲💓 Quick question I am switching from canon to sony I know nothing about Sony so what the best cheap lens from sony something like nifty 50 but keep me do the same style we share notice I am the lazy editor So I am getting a sony a7iii
Exposure live preview with flash has been in the Fuji XT3 for the longest time already, so the A1 is not the first camera. As for 30fps, you guessed it Fuji XT3.
Hey manny,pleasse make a video about how you make youtube videos using which gear,and also make video of export setting into any software you use.becsuse when i export my video and upload it,tje quality goes very poor
Godox is bullshit bruh. I’m mad asf I bought the ad 400 flash. And I have to go buy transmitter when I have a photoshoot the next very day. Like if it need the trigger to work why they didn’t add it to it or made it known they sell it separately like Ionn mind but I don’t get why they don’t tell you ow the flash is useless till I get the damn trigger thing
Hi Manny! When are you going to show the way you produce your videos? Your work is fascinating and as a loyal follower, I have been learning from your presentations.
Fujifilm has ambient exposure preview with flash on since the first mirrorless years ago, so I don't know why he got so excited about it. It's not a new technology.
Is this also the most expensive camera you have ever shot? This camera will be used tonight in the super bowl after every touchdown by the end zones for movie-like shots.
I would have killed for silent mode during a lot of my church weddings. Well, let me rephrase that. The videographers would have killed for me to have silent mode at a lot of my church weddings. Sorry guys.

Manny, mechanical shutter has a bad shake on a7RIV under 1/250 and you can pretty much see it on every third photo, so if you shoot under 1/1000 always go for first curtain sync. Plus it's more responsive. I almost sold my camera a7RIV, when I used your recommended settings as I shoot 99% of the time in lower shutter speeds. I wanted to blame 61 MP, but in fact was wrong setting that made it problematic. You don't notice bokeh difference under 1/1000... why I am writing you this as I hear you have you camera set that way, that's why you like your a1's shutter more.
Flash synch 1/32k lol
In my so many years of shooting.. I've never and I dont see myself doing video. If Sony release another camera.. same specs as A1.. remove the video ability.. reduce the price to 4-5k? I bet.. It will sell ALOT.. and personally.. I will buy 2. Yes.
Manny, how is high ISO performance? One of my favorite lenses is the 100mm STF GM. With a f stop of 2.8 but an effective T stop of 5.6 it has never been something to use in low light without a flash or strobe. I'm wondering how it would perform on the a1.
Air punch @ 8:30 sold me Manny. LOL IG: @freshouttafocus
🛑 🛑 🛑 Hi Manny, I enjoy and appreciate all your videos.
I am thinking I will get the Fx3 & A1.
🔴🟠🟢 Have you shoot with Hasselblad? If no, how come? Will you in the future? Thanks 🤩 🙏🏾
I agree so.much with the flash ambient thing that's a super useful feature
for $7,500 to get it working without a lens; it better lick my boots. Only the most skilled samurai qualify to wield the Honjō Masamune. You deserve this Manny, it was made for your hands. I have no idea why they all can't just do all that foot tapping flash sync, preview, exposure needs ... it's just nerdy software program.; who is making these cameras, sushi chefs?
My broke ahh watching this video knowing I’ll never own this camera lol
It's like $7000, it better have some nice tricks!!! I am sure the doctors and dentists will love this camera, even though they probably are shooting Canon or Nikon or Fuji medium format. Canon and Nikon better hurry up and get a $6000 body out there!
That 2/3rd stop difference in flash sync is going to set the world on fire. People are just dying to shoot at 1/400th. Nah!
The camera is dope on paper and as it appears in person. Certainly will help with video but not believing that photos will see a revolutionary increase in quality. We'll see. I do love the fact Sony is pushing innovation forward.

I love your style of photography it matches my taste in street photography this warm crisp skin toon OMG 😲💓 Quick question
I am switching from canon to sony I know nothing about Sony so what the best cheap lens from sony something like nifty 50 but keep me do the same style we share notice I am the lazy editor So I am getting a sony a7iii
Exposure live preview with flash has been in the Fuji XT3 for the longest time already, so the A1 is not the first camera. As for 30fps, you guessed it Fuji XT3.
Where are you based? Love your videos man.... keep up the awesome work!
Hey manny,pleasse make a video about how you make youtube videos using which gear,and also make video of export setting into any software you use.becsuse when i export my video and upload it,tje quality goes very poor
Always helpful.., Thank you Brother ..God bless you
Godox is bullshit bruh. I’m mad asf I bought the ad 400 flash. And I have to go buy transmitter when I have a photoshoot the next very day. Like if it need the trigger to work why they didn’t add it to it or made it known they sell it separately like Ionn mind but I don’t get why they don’t tell you ow the flash is useless till I get the damn trigger thing
Hi Manny! When are you going to show the way you produce your videos? Your work is fascinating and as a loyal follower, I have been learning from your presentations.
Fujifilm has ambient exposure preview with flash on since the first mirrorless years ago, so I don't know why he got so excited about it. It's not a new technology.
For 7 GRAND with tax it better take great pictures and even warn u with follow up lesson and workshops instructions while taking pictures.
Manny selling Sony stuff again? 30 fps only with GM. Good luck using shitty 85 GM. Lot of lenses artifically locked to 15 fps.
Try using rotolight HSS flashes. A definite game changer.
9:13 WHAATTT? 1/32000 with a flash and no banding what? That is insane
Just a little nitty gritty, but megabytes and megabits are different. 400 megabytes can only be achieved with CF express or faster cards.
Is this also the most expensive camera you have ever shot? This camera will be used tonight in the super bowl after every touchdown by the end zones for movie-like shots.
