    @moe-moon 3 роки тому +3

    Hey Julia!
    So the only other custom buttons I generally have is basically aperture priority mode with a minimum auto iso, which is nice and lets the brains of the Sony do its thing. My next mode is the same thing, but basically a version of manual mode with focus peaking on.
    I am not too fussy with the custom buttons. My shortcuts are very similar to use, but I just use what I think feels intuitive. I do have the Play Memories mobile app on my favourites as it's a nice remote shooter while still being able to see the screen (maybe you could try a video on this?).
    I'm on a a7iii still and love the body of the a7c, but cannot justify the upgrade as photography is not my day job....yet.

    Love the video Julia, and love the Sony A7C for photography! Since I don't shoot video, I also use the record button as an extra custom button. I think compact lenses with aperture rings are perfect for the A7C, like the Sony 35 f1.4. Have you heard of the new Sigma I series lenses? Would love to hear your thoughts on the 35 f2 and 65 f2 if you get a chance!

I haven’t seen anyone use or review it yet on UA-cam either, and was thinking it could make a really cool video if you were interested, before it became widely known if you were keen to try it out some time!

      I do! It doesn't have dual card slots so I still use my A7III for weddings and big client work. I use the A7C mainly for shorter portrait photoshoots and vlogging as well. I used the GM 50 1.2 with it in my review video of that lens if you wanted to see :)

      @@juliatrotti thanks! I work in news (on feature stories/documentary) and while the pandemic is here I traded my canon gear in for credit and looking for a second camera. I currently have a a7iii but in a dilemma. Wait for the mythical a7iv or get a second body now. Going to check your review now, this really does look a great camera and second card slots aren’t such a big deal for me usually. Thank you :)
