I just found your channel while looking up lenses for my first ever camera (a5100). I’ve binged so many of your videos in the past day you are super professional and informative! You deserve a lot of success thank you 🙏
Hey thanks for the info… I have everything from elgato… stream deck xl, the regular stream deck, wave 3, wave XLR , 4 key light, 1 air light, mic arm lp…. A lot from you guys… the best quality always. Q: for live streaming if I can get both for the same price which one is better … a5100 or a6000?
Quick question - how do you get the background lights RGBs to not strobe when you are videoing? I have tried lowering shutter speed but not making difference
Awesome video. Thanks. Apparently the face recognition doesn't always work for those with glasses on? Or rather the glasses affects just enough that the skin smoothing doesn't activate. Great find and tweak either way
I actually love this filter on the a5000 and a5100 and was sad to hear it's not on any of the a6000 series. I think it makes the a5000 more sought after. Sometimes you don't want 4k to show your pores on a video 😆
I just picked up a 16mm 2.8 on eBay because I didn’t want to spend the extra on the sigma 1.4 and I wanted to disable the soft skin. Will I need to zoom in to 1.1 every time I turn the camera on?
Changing to 1.1 zoom man what a difference. No more looking like I'm in Madame Tussauds wax museum. Any chance you go create a video going over all your settings. I'm using a Sony A6000 with Sigma 16mm lens. Still doesn't look as clean as the video above.
Sony fixed this bug back in 2015 but they choose not to include fix in firmware update for this camera. This is honestly big reason why we should boycott manufacturers like Sony. They don't seem to care about customers or environment. If you look at Panasonic or Fujifilm (and now Nikon and Olympus too) they update their ancient cameras and adds tons of features years after release that transformes them into whole new bodies. What Sony did in last 5-7 years is just rebadging same old stuff with few mostly software tweaks and bug fixes and make people pay for that all over again. That behavior should be punished by us customers since it is not just discareful and fraudulent, but is very harmful for the environment too. I hope EU soon put their feet on them! I am gonna sell all my Sony stuff and switch to one of those companies.
I noticed this with the a6400, it has not had a single firmware update since it’s release and wifi and a few other things are buggy af. Sadly I’m in deep into the Sony ecosystem and bought an a5100 as a secondary camera
@@MrBrettStar I still have a5100/a6300. We have workarounds, hacks and software fixes by good ppl of the internet. 😁 Bought 2 canon cameras and couple of lenses but i have doubts about it. Canon seems to work fine for most part but as of now they luck customisability and not nearly as rich ecosystem as Sony. So i am staying with Sony i think but probably would look into Panasonic in the near future. And our little a5100 is beast of a camera if you set it up right and put good lens on it. Love that camera. Gonna be friends to the end. 😅
@@MrBrettStar it sure is. It needs little bit of work sometimes but considering the price and age and compared with my 5 years newer Canons is pretty darn good. It keeps up just fine with both SL3 and RP and i think that it locks focus faster and more accurate in lowlight then those but i need to test it little more. But a5100 is 7/8 year old design and still have pretty good af image quality and modern set of features like wifi/timelapse, eye af, clean hdmi, usb charging. Only big downside to it is audio and it lucks in customisability compared with some other Sony cameras. But it is built for begginers so thats why that is i guess.
What the fuck! Why does it even do that? Just bought two of these for streaming both the kit lens because I use two cams for a chat show I’m doing. Did Sony add this thinking people actually wanted it? Don’t they know Instagram already do a great job with this????! Ffs
How do I ENABLE the skin filter?
Great timing! I bought a Sony A5100 a few hours ago, so you just saved me some time from trying to figure out the issue. Thanks Steggy!
I’m a total noob and learned about changing from optical to digital zoom on the Sony A5100 in this video lol. Thanks Steggy!

The King is back :D
Another great video man!
This is perfect timing actually, just got the 6000 as a second camera and was having this issue
Quick question - how do you get the background lights RGBs to not strobe when you are videoing? I have tried lowering shutter speed but not making difference
try changing from NTSC to PAL or the other way around
Thanks for the vid Steggy. Do you have any video that shows a video setting? I have the same camera and lens but mine looks pale. Thankyou in advance!
Great video, will use! Thanks Steggy
Thank you

Hi Steggy, i would like to know, with which Camera did u record this video? thanks
same! haha
Does the a6100 have the same problem? I was going to buy a used 5100 but now having second thoughts
what camera do you use for your youtube studio?
If I have a E50mm F1.8 and have my camera a5100 set to movie. Will I get the blur background or is there a setting I have to change in the camera ??

Appreciate the heads up! Thanks Steggy. 😄👍👍
Does the Sony a6100 have this issue?
this wont work wit ha prime lens though right?
Which camera did you yourself use in this specific video? :)
Thanks for the info dude. 👍
I just picked up a 16mm 2.8 on eBay because I didn’t want to spend the extra on the sigma 1.4 and I wanted to disable the soft skin. Will I need to zoom in to 1.1 every time I turn the camera on?
Do you know if the soft skin filter on the 5100 is still turned on if you use one of those cheap Chinese manual prime lenses?
yup still need to use 1.1 digital zoom to get rid of it
Steggy from El Gato?
thx, really helps!
wow, being blind has saved me buying a whole new lense on this one. Thank you, poor eyesight.
Do I need to use clean image zoom if I use 30mm sigma on A6000? If need is it still 1.1x?
if you want to disable the soft skin filter then yes you would need to since you're using an A6000.
Hi ...
Soft skin filter video+FOTO 6500 ? A6400? A6600? A6300? A 6100?
a6400 is lowest model that doesnt face this and the sony a7 series of cameras
Hello? Any help ?
Changing to 1.1 zoom man what a difference. No more looking like I'm in Madame Tussauds wax museum. Any chance you go create a video going over all your settings. I'm using a Sony A6000 with Sigma 16mm lens. Still doesn't look as clean as the video above.
Shot on what?
If Steggy were a dinosaur, he would be a Steggysaurus.
You've been losing weight? Looking great!

@@oldtechnology the Sony is still a great camera with amazing autofocus which is why I purchased it in the first place.
