Thank you very much! Helped me alot!
Thanks for your instructional help.
You are welcome!
Good, clean and clear presentation, and funny. You make me smile/laugh, I don't know why.. thanks for the video. keep it up!
That's very kind of you! Happy filming.
Dude is a badass. He's to the point. Crack-a-lack'n

Thank you very much!
Thank you David. Very helpful.
You're welcome!
Thanks for this video. I laughed out loud when your white balance stand fell over. Subscribed!
Many thanks! It fell over that day more than it stayed up.
super helpful, thank you very much
Glad it helped! That makes me feel good.
Thanks a lot for teaching so cool... God bless you 🙏
It's my pleasure
Great video, thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for the useful help.
Glad it was helpful!
Huge thanks for sharing very helpful tips!
But I find out that pressing the 'WB' after pressing 'WB Set' make goes back to WB Auto mode.
So the solution for this is pressing the Joystick(Act as select in the menu) instead of the WB button.
And the evidence of it is that WB mode still shows without its highlighted.
Now I'm pretty excited about using that newly assigned button haha!
Excellent! Thanks.
Nice, made a few ax700 video's on YT myself, great camera.
Thank you) Very helpful))
You are very welcome!
Thankyou🙏
thank you very much for information
Most welcome
THANK YOU !!
You're welcome
Dave, you say that you like to leave WB adjustment till last. It seems to me that there might be some merit in leaving the camera on auto exposure of some form (auto shutter perhaps) to avoid burnout on your white screen while you are setting WB. After all, the subject brightness may be quite different from that of your white screen.
Nice video
Many thanks!
There are different shades of white. Does it matter?
On the auto settings from Sony, how much of a difference was there on the same video recording?
4:15, hahaha, Mr. David, you should make more video like this, you have that talent to be a great storyteller! ......................frog.............
Gooorge!
so what you say is: put some withe stuff front the cam , and the cam on auto will set wb?
I am finally starting to like this camcorder but trying to figure out how to use it has NOT been easy. The so-called manual is fair at best. Your video was very helpful on white balance so thank you so much for posting.
I'm with you there! I made these videos because I couldn't find any, either.
Thanks alot for teaching us how to use the camera shown in the link below. Can you kindly help me in setting up my Church Sony FDR-AX700 to video the church service properly? Persons' faces and bodies are not showing properly.

For some reason, WB Set is grayed out for me in the menu system. No clue why. I can set WB using an assigned button though so it’s not a huge ordeal.
Thank you, I failed to find the menu button on this camera today.
Thank you David for this wonderful tip. I only unpacked my camera few hours ago. Brand new in the box. So I am collecting as many tips as I can. Anymore tips would be highly appreciated.
More on the way. Hope you're still loving the camera. Mine is starting to get beat up!
Thank you David for informing us. Can you tell me how to setup the camera properly to video my church service?
Thanks Dave. Hey in the first method, when you say press WB at the end to come out. Haven't you just put it back to auto? I thought you wanted to leave A or B showing.
No that doesn't put it back in auto.
As already pointed out by shephardphoto, there is a problem in that Dave says to press the WHITE BALANCE button to exit WB setup after using the WB SET function. This is unnecessary if using the assigned button for WB SET because the setup has already exited. If using the menu method, press MENU again to exit. If you press WHITE BALANCE when the WB icon is still highlighted, you will switch the camera back to auto WB mode, and the WB icon disappears, as seen in the tutorial at 5:39 and 6:20.
In the example where he sets the manual WB temperature, he also finishes by pressing WHITE BALANCE, but he should press “enter” instead to lock in the value, to unhighlight the field, and to stay in manual WB mode.
More Information:
Putting the camera in manual mode does not necessarily change IRIS, ISO/GAIN, SHUTTER SPEED or WB to manual unless they had already been so set. The corresponding buttons on the side of the camera are essentially toggles between manual and auto for the respective functions, although they may do more than that. This allows some functions to be on auto and others to be on manual at the same time. If the displayed setting of any of the first three functions is preceded by an A in a white pentagon, or the WB icon is invisible, then that function is in auto mode.
Note on colour correction in the AX700
Colour correction of light from a heated object such as a flame or incandescent lamp may be adequately corrected by adjusting the colour in an orange - blue dimension. The colour of such light is usually expressed in terms of the temperature of the heated object, in kelvins (K). However, full correction of a general colour cast may also require correction in the magenta - green dimension, which is orthogonal to the temperature dimension.
When the colour correction of the AX700 is set by shooting at a white object and storing the result in memory A or B, full colour correction takes place, but the colour temperature that is displayed for about 3 seconds afterwards is only one dimensional, and may not be of much use.
To verify this, I colour corrected on a green document folder, and a value of 8500K briefly appeared. The green folder appeared grey in the viewfinder. I then set MANU WB TEMP to 8500K and used it as a preset. The green folder then looked a yellowish green in the viewfinder. Q.E.D.
Thank you for this comment, this is not mentioned anywhere in the official documents. I thought I was going insane
did you used app for all controls?
No apps! I have a remote but never tried it yet, though I think it will be great.
Hello, Mr. David. Can you explain how to set exposure control function to assign button, pls?
HELLO YOU FUNNY FROG FROG VERY CREATIVE THANKS SALUDOS
Gracias!
Thanks for the info! I sometimes have the A or B flash. And if I try to set it, I get "Error". Have you seen this before? Thank you.
Actually I get it a lot, and it seems to be when there's too much light. You might try clicking the ND filter up a notch while you're setting it and see if that helps.
David Nelms Ah, gotcha. Thank you!
@@blaylock1978 Another thing I've had success with is to get more distance between the camera and the white paper or card.
David Nelms That makes sense. I have been using the x-rite passport which is small, but I’m guessing just zooming all the way in could help. But I’m wondering if it’s the distance that’s causing it, like you said.
This is mentioned in the Help Guide in the Note at the foot of the page headed "Storing the adjusted white balance value in memory A or B" (page 75 of the PDF version of the guide). It is due to over exposure. They suggest putting the shutter speed on auto, among other things, at this time.
Can the FDR-AX700 shoot video in 1080i? I cannot find that option in the menus.
It's there a listing of the LANC commands available for this camera?
www.boehmel.de/lanc
@@davidnelmsesq Thanks David. I've seen that website before, but wasn't sure if all of the Sony cameras did all of the LANC camera commands. I guess so !! Thanks again.
@@RemScanProducts I don't know for sure that was my best guess for now. I'd like to know if they work so keep me posted. Are you going to try and fly an AX700?
@@davidnelmsesq Thinking of using one at a church remotely controlled.
You are not a fan of auto white balance? The camera does a pretty good job for awb
I use it occasionally.
How many people have died before you have delivered pretty simple information?
Отлично!
How to get proper audio?
Thanks Mark! That would be critical! I'll get a video in the works.

I think that might be a little bit far for me to travel to. Did you try zooming out some?
@@davidnelmsesq Yes i tried zoom out. Thank you
Can I set WB in auto mode? I want exposure auto control with fixed WB.
Got it.
Good question. I don't know that.
Hi, no audio?
Yes there is audio.
Any one can tell me the tripod used here, thnks
when recording video with the ax700 it also takes jpeg's. do you (or anyone) know how to disable the auto jpeg's & just get the video only?
Your voice audio only comes in on the left channel.
That's really weird. It does that on my laptop as well, but not on my desktop. Any idea why that would happen?
David Nelms what camera are you filming yourself with and what program are you processing with? When the videos of your scenery play, both channels work.
@@chriscloud3495 my audio is recorded on a Zoom H5 and processed a for background noise with Audacity. I sink it up with the video in DaVinci Resolve 16. Several cameras are used but I don't ever use the audio from them.
@@davidnelmsesq Fancy! That's a cool audio recorder. I don't use Davinci, but maybe when you imported and synced, there's a parameter issue on the audio overlay for that section of video?
@@chriscloud3495 I'll be watching for it on my next video, that's for sure!
сколько времени можно записать с одного аккумулятора в 4к?
Я не знаю, сколько времени это продлится, но я знаю, что это продлится гораздо дольше, когда экран просмотра закрыт. Этот экран потребляет много заряда батареи.
How to set your White Balance to Auto regarding Camera is set to Manual
no need to do this for natural light; keep wb to 5600k
you need this in studio, artificial light scenarios
What about shade? Or evening light? Or cloudy skies?
@@davidnelmsesq thats the whole trick. If you keep it at 5600k, you will capture the true colors of blue hour, gden hour, mid day, overcast etc. If you do the white balance at sunset for exemple, the gold color cast will be neutrilized. Educate yourself
@@petrub27 Sounds like you're taking things to an art-form. I'd love to see some of your film!
@@davidnelmsesq i just got my ax700. film coming soon!
It depends on your subject. If you are shooting people in the shade with a bright blue sky, you don't want them to have blue faces. If it's a sunset, then don't correct.
Change your UA-cam playback speed to 1.25 and thank me later.
Won't I sound like a chipmunk?
@davidnelmsesq no, but at normal speed, it's hard to play it until the end.
Thanks for the tutorial 🫂
