I've also played with focus area settings, trying both wide and spot focus.

I watched it once when I ordered the FX30 and now that I got it I have watched about the first 40 minutes and will take a break and come back tomorrow. One thing that I don't know if I missed or not, was the W/T toggle, does it do clear image zoom by default or do I have to set it up? I have a Sony 50mm f1.4 GM on it now and it doesn't seem to be working. I am getting an invalid with this lens message.

    • @Jason_Hermann

      To illuminate motion blur you will need to increase the shutter speed. I don't see any way around that fact. I agree about the rule, but that also depends on what you are doing. Filming high speed moving subjects is much harder than slow or non moving subjects as we know...

    I have the fx30, and I was wondering why my camera shows Frame Rate with: 59.94p / 29.97p / 23.98p / 119.88p instead of 60 /30 / 24 and 120 ?

    • @Jason_Hermann

      That is normal and yes a bit odd I agree... You can look into frame rates for a few hours if you really want to know all the weirdness that goes into it... I honestly do not recall off the top of my head why, but I have looked it up in the past out of curiosity and at the ned of the day it has no noticeable effect on anything I do...

      It's very hard to say, because I have no idea if Sony is going to come out with an A6700. I hope they do, but do not know... So for photography specifically I would wait, but if your into video the FX30 is an awesome option!

    • @Jason_Hermann
      @Jason_Hermann  9 місяців тому

      If you have a PD Power Source that will power the camera with the battery inside for a long while, but in my opinion what I would recommend for a studio environment is a Dummy Battery solution like this: geni.us/KfnlFY

    • @Jason_Hermann
      @Jason_Hermann  Рік тому

      This FX30 is optimized for video and has a built in cooling fan for longer form recording in warm environments. It can take photos, but I would not recommend this camera for photography. The A6400 geni.us/L75omA is a great option, or the A7 IV geni.us/ZlYsk is what I have and is full frame... The A7C geni.us/N6UyGd would be a more affordable option similar to the A6400, but a full frame version...

    Thanks for this usefull Guide, really well explained. I have a question though, I see your frame rate goes from 24p to 120p and you also have 30 and 60... on mine, I only have 25, 50 and 100p, do you have a specific setting ?

      You r camera is set to PAL mode, mince is set to NTSC, because I line in North America... The camera ship that way depending on where you live... You can change it here: MENU → (Setup) → [Area/Date] → [NTSC/PAL Selector] → [Enter] helpguide.sony.net/ilc/2220/v1/en/contents/TP1000845206.html?search=pal
