love your channel. IM LEARNING SO MUCH !!! THANKS A MILLION !
Sold my A7iv. Too often the eye af would not focus on the eyes but front focus or focus on the eye lashes. Got the R6 II and the eye focus never misses. I do miss my 35mm 1.4 GM though. That lens was a beast.
Kinda the same situation. Used the A73 for portraits and motorsport, with sigma 35 and 105 1.4 a lot of shutter lag, not precise focus. Have now R6 and its superb, never missed a shot! Even tough I have just a 50 1.8, 135 f2 an 300 f4. But as you I miss those lenses.
What lenses are you using now?
@@M4TR1X RF 24-70mm 2.8 and RF 50mm 1.2. They're great but super heavy. I prefer Sony's lighter lenses.
Many thanks for this video Taylor ! As of this year I moved to the A7IV for weddings and specifically because of hybrid shooting. I'm quite happy with the results especially in terms of autofocus and ease of switching back and forth stills/video. I've not had any issues with card writing speeds (either with v60 or v30 cards) except for one Sony (non-tough) card that doesn't keep up and causes lag. I've had no issues with Lexar, Sandisk or Kingston..
I'm going to give your WB idea a go. I find it a pain to be switching between WB constantly and it's even worse when you have multiple cameras and multiple M programs setup in advance (ie. M1 = 25 fps / 1/50, M2 = 50 fps / 1/100 etc...)
Thanks for your continued videos and insight into photography and videography ! Cheers
I agree with PP11. Out of camera the image is great and you know what your getting.
Great video. Informative and fun to watch. I learned a lot with this. Thank you!!
On the different settings for photo video at end of video I shoot slog3. I checked the iso box so my base iso is at 800 for video and when I switch to photo it is back at a lower iso. Very helpful.
Wow awesome👍❤❤
when you videography a wedding in the church what kind of focus do you use? manual with spot square? what?
Are you shooting aperture priority in video? Or how are you managing shutter speeds when you switch to video if you’re also doing photography with no ND filter?
I’m just manual mode most of the time, and I also don’t pan or move my camera a lot so I can get away with higher shutter speeds. If something looks weird I run ReelSmart Motion Blur on it
Interesting and thanks! I've been considering getting the A1 for hybrid but this has put me off a little.
With CFExpress cards A1 also works. I'd just rather have 2 A7IV for the cost though.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Yeah - I rely on silent shooting a lot though which rules out the A7iv. Yours is the better business decision though!
@@AlbertPalmer Ahh yes. This is not the camera for silent shooting haha
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto why is that? Doesn’t it shoot in silent mode too?
It does, but it’s not nearly as good as the A1 for it
Jackson! Thanks for this video, just switched from Canon yesterday, and this helped!
Quick question, in my R5, I could have 1 card for RAW and 1 for jpeg, can I setup the A7IV like this?
nice presentation. For still images, do you use back button focus with AFON button or half press ? if half press, how can we recompose as we do easily in BBF ? use focus hold lens button ?
I don’t use back button focus with any mirrorless cameras
Nice one! I love your methodology with the A7IV. Keeping it simple and reducing time in post. I too like the single shot and continuous slow mode - quality over quantity - ingrained from the film days.
Do the 128gb cards have enough capacity when shooting hybrid? Thanks!
An an A7IV I don't go over 128 on a day usually. It's nice to 256 in there just in case you get a surprise second ceremony or something though
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Thank you!
great tips.
btw, i want to ask about your external monitor attached to your a7iv, what's the brand?
Id like to know that too
Thanks ♥️
Hey Taylor , So if you are based in Europe (pal) you need to shoot on 50P and slow it down to 24p in premiere pro? Looking forward hearing from you.
Yah, I'd probably do 50 and slow down to 25 in post
Actually in a digital world it's irrelevant... Will only matter for transmission over analog broadcast which I believe at least in developed countries is a thing of the past...
Taylor - what is the setup on your hotshoe? Is that a battery pack with something else?
Screen recorder to show the screen
Please Review samyang 35 150 f2 2.8 Lens overall and availability in india
Can you do one for the Nikon Z8?
Hi Taylor, can I ask which picture profile you shoot in for video please?
Hey taylor, i went along with you step by step and put the exact same settings as you did. However, my Rec Frame Rate options are 25,50 & 100 only. How do i get 60 ?
If you live in a country where Pal is standard, you’ll get 25 and 50 instead of
Hello Taylor. What profile do you use for stills?
Hey Taylor so I just tried the setting different set for still mV and it doesn’t work with any picture profile as soon I click to do video it doesn’t work 😅 can you help me ?
You’ll have to flip the switch to video mode for it to work
