Why I Love & Hate The New Sony A7S III 3.01 Firmware
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- I finally updated the Sony A7S III firmware. There are some actual big improvements, and a couple things that actually got worse. Custom mode dial actually switches instantly instead of needing a confirmation screen. Focus breathing comp doesn't work on any of my Zeiss lenses, not even the Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8. Focus peaking no longer turns on when you go into manual focus. You actually have to map a button to it now. New menu features are pretty cool. My 7 artisans EF SE adapter no longer works...

Want to cure Camera GAS? maybe you should take a look at Eurorack 😂
When are you going to introduce your fiance?😊
I agree with your conclusion about the importance of lighting. After all, a camera is just a box that captures light. Of course, there's no cure for GAS. We're all doomed to suffer for eternity. On the positive side, it's only money that we could donate to cure cancer, heart disease, etc. But then what? When we're 75 we'll be lying in the hospital beds, dying of nothing.
I reviewing Colombo detective series, damn I start to literally see all that atrifical light now. It make very pleasing look but...Hate staged unnatural things so much, it break immersion for me now.
But none of those donations would really cure cancer or heart disease. Most of it would go to the salaries of the people administering programs to investigate the possibility of starting a steering committee for the chartering of a working committee to begin the consultation process around hiring people to work on a cure.
You'll end up in a hospital bed either way. Enjoy gear acquisition for the mean time.
This comment perfectly captures the attitude of this channel.
You are exactly like me in one sense: as they say in Sweden you are a “restless soul”, unable to calm down, ever so seeking for new challenges and endeavours. Magic blend of cunning, creativity and a hint of madness.
Never stop telling your stories and and thoughts, the World is a better place thank to individuals like You, carrying the fire in the darkness….
May The Toneh be with You All :-)
The dramatic lighting was satisfying.
Thank God is the menu on my BMD Camera so simple.
You are sharing ALL of my secrets!! PP OFF, Flexible Exp Mode, etc. You must have watched my “shoot hybrid like a boss” video right before shooting your video. 😂 One thing you forgot to mention about A7Siii is that you can now jam sync timecode which is HUGE for those that use TC. Great content, as usual…
Exposure, lens hood, Toneh!
(Love your work, btw…..)
Never stop searching for gear!
I like your videos before watching. Never been disappointed 😁
"Pretty content!" The gas is strong with this one! We are looing forward to the gear you buy, helps us all to live vicariously though you with out costing us the pain and money! You are a real trooper Kasey! Best channel on YT
Somehow didn’t realize our boy was in great shape until this video. Hats off. Looking good wildlife man.
You never saw him demo the monkey strong workout?
I appreciated your talk about dumping SLOG and going with standard + expanding range. Im going to try it. I was stuck on Slog because I do shoot some in low light at 12800 ISO, even 104xx sometimes. And because of Jerald and his charts I thought I had to use Slog. But the color doesn't really pop. I like the VV profile when there is light.
The worst part of the update is that it now will switch from the monitor to the viewfinder either at all times and no matter what tilt the monitor is at. We used to be able to lock the viewfinder auto switch by having the monitor vertical or horizontal completely. Now, if the camera is on the Gimbal or just handheld close to your body, it will always switch to the viewfinder.
Go to Setup>Finder/MonitorAuto1 or Auto 2 to suit what’s’ best for you’re set up.
Monitor & Control app is actually very good. Replaced my Atomos
I totally get you, I'm constantly looking at which lens to buy, sometimes I think about the camera too.. addiction..
He's doing me a service instead of me buying gear I sit back and watch him do it.
This was fantastic I had no idea my camera did this thank you wow.please more of these.again thanks.😊showing your followers how to use there camera could you go into all the buttons on the camera and what they do please.you could make 100 vids on all you noledge please.
Don't worry about GAS. You're a camera channel. Also, getting rid of lenses leads to more regret than buying new lenses. I have regretted it every time I sold a lens but I have never regretted buying one. Just imagine if you stil had all the lenses and cameras you sold. You could be having fun switching between Canon, Fuji and Panasonic.
It doesn't work like that, as the cash that you got from selling actually fuel the next gears.
@@MuhammadKharismawan That's how you lose money. In any case, running a youtube channel is a business so you spend to earn.
Your channel should be called "Camera Regurgitation"
You didn't even talk about the Phone Monitor thing. Very helpful for me as I can't really see the camera monitor at any distance, also very helpful for people making, um "home movies" in the bedroom? Check those angles. Appreciated your finding that auto TV/ISO thing, I will look at that. Wish they would figure out a "auto Zebra" to my focus point is exposed to a zebra level, or ?
I think if you want to get the benefits of Log, you need to be able to color grade, and in order (IMO) to a decent job at that, you need to understand color management, so you don't have to rely on a manufacturer's LUT, which does kind of defeat the purpose.
If you use Color Management, to go from your log state to the display state, you can start with a much nicer, much more neutral look, and then can push things in the direction you want to go.
Breathing comp is worth it for the 35 1.4 gm. It’s been absolutely worth upgrading for me 😅
I feel your pain. I bought 80 guitar pedals before I sought help. Good times
I was waiting 2 months for this. 😂
Sony is your look. It matches your style.
Colours and lighting look great. 👌
After the software, auto focus was broken, I will go back to the old system.
Panasonic had the instant switch in the gh5 since 2017 😅😅😅😅
Best you've ever looked.
Thanks!
Do you think you could do more vids on how to use all the buttons and dials on the camera 📷?
I have the sony a7r5 you could make 100 vids and show us how to use our cameras more cash to come thanks again.😊
I was going to send 100 dollars my wife said no so atleast I could send something she said Christmas bonus is OK but not today.Happy wife happy life.whrn you get married you will find out 😅😅.
@@mbenjamin292 haha I feel you brother
Thank you! I could make a video like that, might be boring lol.
Lighting and color grade looking crispy bro 🔥
When i was there.. 🎉
Your fill light (tube light) should be in front of you (your nose). Just try it. It will give a little more volume. Gradient on the cheek. Now it is running a bit
I wish the side bars is customizable
the DISP at the top of the wheel will cycle through the different HUDs I think
panny boy supreme menu science confirmed
I always shoot in Slog3 but am a huge fan of the no picture profile. I would pick that all day long but there is no dynamic range. I wish there was a LUT look for no color profile.
Kasey by the way the rest of UA-cam is not using the visible mic during talking head shots.
Compare s-cinetone vs slog vs standard Sony profiles.
There are a million videos doing this already
I would prefer a video mode that is good enough so I never have to do any post editing. Editing video is something I really don't like to do. I haven't shot a lot of video, especially with my mirrorless. But, when I did I used Eterna and was plenty happy with it. Did I mention that I don't want to edit video? LOL! Sounds like you need a new studio with more room for lighting, backdrops, tripods and gear storage! Have a rockin' day!
How is the autofocus on the new firmware?
One thing is clear with most firmware updates, the people making them don’t actually use them in the field.
❤
2:50 Time to clip the nails.
You can swipe on the side bars themselves to hide them
Ya, once you find the sweet spot lol.
@@cameraconspiracies I never had trouble with them apart form the fact that they are non customisable and pretty useless as such.
On my A9iii it takes multiple swipes. 1-2 to turn on and 3-5 to turn off.
I noticed that having "touch focus/tracking" turned on, it can take multiple swipes to open/close the side bars unless your finger is directly on the sidebar area while swiping.
The black void
I can't use my 7artisans adapter anymore, on standby the autofocus works, but when pressed record the autofocus stopped. It works berfore on ver 3.00.
Yea same. I am asking them to make a firmware, but it doesn't seem to work. Can't stop down the aperture either.
❤❤❤
Strange. I do not have these touch operations on A7IV even thought I am on 3.01 firmware.
Thank you so much. You've helped me conclusively decide not to go with Sony. What a crazy lousy menu system. I'll stick with my MFT loser G9ii and G9.😂 Very intuitive.
I watch you channel for the catchy theme song! Oh, and Sony color science suck compared to the panny boy ;-)
This movie about camera's menu was the worse thing ever .. Impossible for anyone who don't own this camera body.
For me i wish you get some cheap old CZ-jena lenses, like the 50/1.8 and 135/3.5 (superb ! I love them ) or the 35/2.4 (I want one but I cant afford it ), pair it with the cheapest camera FF body you can find (Panasonic S5 ??? ) and test some old school 3D pop.
sorry for my English. Peace and❤ from Palestine 🇵🇸🧷
You know Canon had that Flexible Exposure (FV on the dial) from the Canon M6 Mark II already right ? This isn't new.
Who's talking about Canon?
You said NEW Flexible Exposure, thought you were referring as new in the camera world or something. It's new to SONY but it was there on Canon (maybe others). Also you are always talking about canon. I don't think there's a clip on your channel that doesn't contain the word "Canon" in it :)
@@cameraconspiracies Anyway I really appreciate your videos even I almost never agree with you :)
@@simpletraveltech I've mentioned it on Canon, we're talking about Sony.
Love how they never update anything on the A7C. 🤦♂️
Why should Sony do that? They rather you buy the A7cII
This is the most cinematic you ever looked
Please make a video everyone talks about 10bit color.
We need a 🦎 people emoji on here.
He's a Bitcoiner :)
Standard video priorities humans. Log priorities highlights. That's why standard is better for many situations
If you haven’t tried it you should get the Sony E 70-350mm for your Zv-E10. Closest in size to the little Olympus 75-300 and much sharper too. Full frame equivalent focal length of 525mm on the long end!
You can donate BTC , No one has done it yet but i heard its fun😂😅
To get rid of the side icons, can you cycle through the display options (top of the ring on the back) to get an empty screen?
Yes. I'm surprised he didn't know that. Guess no one is an expert
Still no animal eye AF in video. I guess that requires a new sensor.
apparently the bluetooth on my a7s3 is broken so i cant get dci 4k LOL. i'll take it as a sign i dont need it anyways
I am sure glad I don't do video...Ha ha...Still photogrephy does it for me...Cheers
They crippled the A1 by not giving it enough RAM for Pre-Capture.
You don't update perfection human.
A strange thing I am facing after the last update ... If I use after market batteries an error message appears and if I give OK to go on everything I film after ok it is saved only on card 2.
Someday the video Foveon will come, and will make this look like trash
Didn't you eat sewer gutter meat for one of your diets? I think it was in Thailand
I was enjoying the rim light, but then your oversaturated monkey claw came in and blocked it for most of the video! 🙈
Obviously you need to go analog, get a Leica M6
Sony are being GS technologies tho so you intro is 100% true
sony is not consistent with their firmware releases. they are known to remove features and they get sued after (ps3)
Animal eye autofocus?
Interesting that not a single youtuber has tested focus breathing correction in detail. How bad does it actually works in real life (on lenses it's supposed to work on). Everyone is just talking about it and showing the function in the menu system... I guess the reason is that it's a really boring video to make.
Is there a camera company that promises focus breathing compensation on EVERY lens they make? That would be impossible, right?
Why would it be impossible? It's a simple digital crop. All they need to do is measure the extent to which the lens breathes at its worst and then crop in by that much.
@@yawningmarmot Is there a company that does that on all their lenses?
@@CameraCombo As far as I know, no one but Sony does breathing comp (probably due to a patent), but that doesn't make it impossible:)
@@yawningmarmot After a little more research, I guess Panasonic does it electronically on their L-mount lenses. That's good!
@@CameraCombo From my experience with the S5II, I know they correct it optically but I haven't seen the option to correct it digitally. If you know how, I'd be glad to check it :)
You are the conspirator and its all in your own head.
I don't understand why the bottom buttons are so tiny. There's clearly enough space to scale them both vertically and horizontally. Also, is Sony the only company that puts the useless NFC and Bluetooth/WiFi icons over the image obscuring it for no reason? End of rant:D
P.S. I think you can hide the overlays by pressing the DISP button
The DISP button will make it disappear on the top of the scroll wheel.
No it doesn't...
Who prays at night to God for forgiveness being jealous of these delicious Leica & Hasselblad menus?
flexible exposure has been introduced with the A7SIII at launch and you see that now,
just because you can touch that on the screen, the only difference with that fonction due to the firmware is just tounching the screen, before it was just a button mapping whoahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Learn to use flexible exposure before complaining, for example same systeme on the fx30 two buttons are mapped for auto iso and aperture, touch it and boum each become manual, that's easy you got that with the a7SIII and you just never used it and said for million time crap
As basic as your videos are your.… I love the presentation and your personality lol moderately uncanny with a hint of not 🤣
Clearly you have overshot the perfect camera and are now stuck with gear far in excess of perfect. The Sony A7S III was already more camera than anyone other than Denis Villeneauve or James Cameron needs. You're ruining us all. This channel needs to be cancelled!
