    I wish our cameras would tell us what settings are causing certain features to be greyed-out/unusable. Simply telling us that we can't use a feature because of the way the camera is set up is no help at all, you might as well just show a picture of someone giving us the finger.

      Fuji especially annoyed me…. There are so many cross-incompatible settings that are also nowhere near each other nor obvious to the user. But then once in a while they DO add a note that this is greyed out for a specific reason, showing that yes, they CAN do that, its just that they gave up after adding the first few….

    As a wildlife photographer my biggest gripe with Sony are all those G series lenses that have a custom function button that you cannot use to set a focus distance recall. How hard is this? Long press to set, short press to recall... fixes 99% of the "stuck on the busy background" focusing issues.

    Do you guys read these comments? Could you do a shoot out with the camera apps and give a zero score to any camera that doesn't connect reliably 10 out of 10 times. and show average people trying to pair phone to camera for the first time etc..

      I mean, atleast they have WiFi transfer. My 2014 FinePix S9400W has it, but you have to connect AFTER the pics, and then patiently wait for it to transfer.. and it can't transfer its 1080p video.. so I have to take the card out and transfer via my PC.. also, Fuji had a habit of using a unique USB/AV port..

      My EOS 250D is a bit better, lets you transfer its 4K 25fps video, and also can transfer pics in the background WHILE you take them, but again, video has to happen after.. and it's basically at limitation of the WiFi speed..

It really would be the best shooting mode: aperture priority all the time, auto ISO, back wheel for min speed. Freeze motion as fast as you wish just like in Manual, but never blowout a photo again if there is a sudden sun streak.

    It's irritating how some cameras don't completely split up settings for photo and video. Say I'd want to use wide AF area with face detect in video but in photo I'd want to use a simple pinpoint AF box. I can think of a few cameras that don't save that setting between photo/video modes so I have to switch it manually. I want every setting to be saved per mode (especially per custom setting save mode when a camera has that feature)

    I think the worst quirk is when a brand launches a model with faults such as overheating or without basic things like a stabilizer, memory slot, etc. and after a few months they launch an improved version with the letter S or C. All the people who bought the first model, I bet they have that feeling of being scammed with infinite irritation

    After two years of frustration with Sony cameras, it was enough to convince me to add Fujifilm X-series cameras back into my camera eco-system for certain features.
    1) No in-camera focus bracketing
    2) The smallest focusing point is not small enough and requires me to switch to manual focus much faster compared to the Fujifilm cameras (for my Sony system, I switched to manual focus lenses for macro)
    3) Only way to have up 1/32000 second is with the stacked sensor cameras
    4) Cameras cannot be metered for longer than 30 seconds (Fujifilm gives me 900 seconds)

    HLG does not need any real grading. You can even upload it directly to UA-cam.
    Sony has annoying issue with horizon level in video too. You can either see main stats or horizon level, not both.
    Why Japanese companies have so horrible and limited software customization? Because of their extremely outdated software testing process, even for biggest companies. Everything 15 years outdated. Everything is done manually and their main testing software is MS Excel. If they need to provide customization for every feature it will require maybe a month for development and half a year for testing.

  • @benjamindover4337
    @benjamindover4337 2 роки тому +10

    The horizon level indicators are vastly inadaquate. It indicates green for far to broad a range. Why not have a third color, blue, to indicate a more precise leveling. And make it easier to see on the screen for people shooting from the hip or in high glare conditions. Maybe light up the corners instead of this useless thin line. And Sony, allow the level indicator on the info screens, not just the leveling screen.

    • @paologiordano.photos
      @paologiordano.photos 2 роки тому

      THIS. TOTALLY THIS. I'm a Real Estate photographer, I rely every second on the horizon level. When I was in pentax it was a good experience, the green range was very small and a quick check to frame lines on the screen could help mitigate small imperfections. Since I moved to Sony I find myself getting the verticals wrong more often than I'd like because of the horizon's huge range

Fuji's GFX and to some extent Canon R allows this then passes on the cropping info in the raw file. Bonus crop ratio gripe - Nikon mirrorless: why tf do you throw out data in the raw file when I choose a crop other than 3:2?!

If not a lock button, perhaps make a dial that is stiffer to turn thus reducing the likelihood of accidentally moving the setting?

    Quickly adjusting minimum shutter speed for auto ISO is actually very possible on Sony cameras. I have the rear wheel configured to change ISO, and a right side press on that wheel (where it says ISO) brings up minimum shutter speed for auto ISO. It's adjustable with one button press on the back of the camera. You're welcome. ;)
    Sidenote: This capability (and customisability in general) is actually the number one reason why Sony has the best controls in the business in my opinion. Yes, you read that right. :D
    Sidenote 2: You can also adjust the colour of the autofocus box on the newer Sonys.

A sharp, 10bit 422 1080p footage will be so good and that does not demand a lot of the sensor.

      @sjc9832 2 роки тому +1

      Couldn't agree more. My ideal camera would have Fuji style dedicated dials but instead of shutter speed and ISO they would be min shutter speed and exposure comp (with aperture on the lens)

    Another minor annoyance, cameras should follow Panasonic when it comes to displaying the exposure value in log video recording. Correct me if I'm wrong but +0ev on a Panasonic V-log is well exposed, whereas on a Fuji or Sony, it needs to be +1.3 or more. Problem is we don't see anything past +2ev so it could well be +2.3 or way more and it's just kinda annoying.

    • @DynamixWarePro
      @DynamixWarePro 2 роки тому +1

      I think the correct exposure for V-Log is to have the midtones at 42 IRE on the waveform monitor, so that can often be above +0ev. Sometimes on my GH6 the best exposure is 2/3 over exposed, or +1 etc.. depending on the scene, to get the correct midtone exposure.

  • @sjc9832
    @sjc9832 2 роки тому +7

    I'd add:
    - Canon not putting the on/off switch where it should be (around the shutter button)
    - Sony only letting you change auto ISO min shutter speed in 1-stop increments
    - Cameras that require you to use the touch screen for certain autofocus functions
    - Sony wiping some of your custom modes when formatting your cards
    - Cameras that autofocus in self-timer mode when the shutter button is pressed instead of when the photo is taken

  • @ColinRobertson_LLAP

    Beyond in-camera raw processing, I am extremely jealous of how much you can tweak in Fujifilm cameras compared to my Canons' basic 'Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation, Color tone"... why is clarity in a different menu??? WTF does color tone do? (it's just tint). Fuji gives you dynamic range adjustments, grain, film sims!, CURVES!!

      It sounds like Olym... OM Systems is more like Fuji. So called computational photography is definitely the future, with cell phones leading the way. Flexibility, that leads to capability, as you mentioned, will win out eventually. At some point, someone will come up with a UI that ignores traditional photography terms and it will catch on, inflaming and confusing traditional photographers!

Many people, like myself, prefer to just use our camera phones these days for that very reason. With the ever increasing quality of smart phone cameras and software, my camera may ultimately end up on the chopping block.

  • @vainoleppanen8971

    9:06 I used to have a problem with this all the time with Canon EOS M50. I'd set shutter speed to 1/1000s, shoot football for 20min, and then notice that I had accidentally changed it to 1/640s. Outcome: all of those photos are now burned because aperture and ISO were set to non-auto as well. I was really glad to see that Canon EOS R6 had a lock button but then I never ended up using it because for whatever reason I don't accidentally bump the dials anymore. Maybe M50 just taught me to constantly and neurotically check the settings every minute :).

  • @StevePuppe
    @StevePuppe 2 роки тому +1

    For me it's lack of a small RAW format Sony A1 and large embedded preview jpegs for the RAWS on the A9II. I love the A1 but not every shoot requires full size RAWs. The A9II is an amazing event camera but you can't cull images and check fine focus in Photo Mechanic which is a common workflow for event and sports photographers. I realize it's not an issue for everyone but know several photographers that feel the same. Also it would be nice to have a button to format cards.

  • @JohnDrummondPhoto

    The Enable/Disable thing in the Canon menus is indeed maddening. I'm so triggered right now. How about just "ON" and "OFF"? The only thing more irritating about Canons is having to dive into a submenu and enable "High Frame Rate" to get 120 FPS. Why can't they put that on the same screen as all the other video modes?

    Why can't camera manufacturers put in their software the same kind of features that we get with our cell phones?... Computational photography that allows for in camera shallow depth of field shots... digital image stabilization... The editing software that Chris mentioned.
    Why spend thousands of dollars on a camera and lenses when I can spend A thousand dollars on a high end smartphone and get output that will be indistinguishable from a mirrorless in most circumstances, with easier interface, more editing features, and better file transfer features.
    The tonedeaf nature of the camera industry will result in cameras just becoming the tools of professionals who get paid for and have the patience to deal with all these deficiencies for the sake of getting top quality shots... Which 99% of the public won't appreciate.

    What has to be removed completely from any cameras is a PAL/NTSC switch. I'm so much loving the elegant way Nikon did with their Z cameras (you just set the 50/60 Hz zone settings for a flickering light and that's it) but it drives me nuts in Sony cameras. I just want to set any frame rate I want (24, 25, 50,60 etc)

    With Canon, when recording in 4k it has to go to the cf express card. Well when you go and pull the cf express card to put the video onto your computer, if you close the door to your camera before putting the card back in, the camera will revert to the SD card making it impossible to record again until you change your storage settings back to the cf express. Couldn't it just give you an warning but keep the same settings?

    2. let the camera companies give a couple of models in an interesting beautiful body (like Nikon ZFc etc), not a black standard box body.
    3. Customize the buttons as I want.
    4. Breaketing in camera processing after shoting .
    5. Give us nice preset in cameras for raw. Instead of sitting all the time correcting colors, maybe as paid update.

    What you complain about in the OM-1 is also present in all Canon cameras except the R5 C - you want 10-bit, you have to switch Canon Log or HDR PQ on. OM System at least makes it clear, with Canon you find out whether your footage is 10-bit or 8-bit when you open it in your NLE at home...

    In the age of 3D printing, AI, turn key manufacturing It should be possible to order a camera from a company and select the options you want, like at a car dealer, or custom computer dealer.
    Personally I want 3 wheels to set aperture, shutter, iso. I want to camera to work without menu diving in all situations. In video mode I want a screen menu where I can adjust Ap, sh, ISO without clicking sounds. Anyway enough to make a series out of this.

      EU rule states that any digital still camera with a resolution higher than 800x600 and the duration of video of 30 minutes of more (at 23 fps or higher) must now be classified as a 'video camera recorder' and hence be taxed at a higher rate.
      To remove the 29:59min limit, the rear display cannot record or display at higher than 800x600 (=1.04Million dots at 16:9 aspect ratio).

    Panny GH6 w/ Firmware 2.0 in Sept '22 Gripes (so far):
    -Cannot lock shutter speed (still)
    -Vector Scopes display are *still* omitted from external monitor display, while the other metrics do appear. Why is this important even if you have an external display? Because you can actually *position* the vector scope on the GH screen to your liking!)
    - NO BATTERY GRIP OPTION WTF!!! 🤬 (A series first! Fire that birdbrain engineer who sold this port delete!!!)
    -Tedious Codec menu navigation when Dynamic Range Boost is on/off (certain codecs not available w/ no easy DRB turn-off option from within context menu (example fix: "Codec not available while Dynamic Range Boost is activated, would you like to it disable now?")
    -With Ronin S2-- Entire top row of camera metrics vanish from external display when you plug in USB-C Control Cable (for Ronin record/focus button use) while also using Atomos Shinobi (WTF!!!) Unplugging Camera Control cable while still using HDMI makes the metrics reappear on external display, but at the loss of rec/autofocus function from Ronin S2 handle 🤬
    -The entire relationship between using the Atomos Shinobi on-screen video tools and the fact you *still* *cannot* custom-position the Shinobi vector scopes around the screen to your liking forces the scopes to cover up important f-stop/shutter info at the bottom of display. Why in TF can't a user arrange touch screen graphics to the precise place of their choosing for the benefit of their instruments remains a 2022 mind-blower, with the gd Shinobi eternally stuck at software V10.11. This is to say nothing of the utterly unresponsive Shinobi touch screen display-cycling ("Do you want your scope here, here, or here? Touch like mad and maybe something will switch to 1 of 3 poorly thought out screen positions!")
    Certainly, a vast range of quality of life bug fixes still need to roll out for the GH6, and I pray to the old gods and the new that GH6 matures quickly and tightly. Grumble.

    Hi, Chris and Jordan, I´m from Germany and first THANK´S a lot for your informative and entertaining videos. Well, that´s a funny thing with Canon´s "enable" and "disable". When you choose German language in the Menu, we in Deutschland don´t have this problem.
    Canon writes the verb and you have to klick, then it the action will happen. In English they write the verb, but mean the article. That´s really crazy. So I think, you better learn Deutsch and put the Menu into "German", :)).
    What I don´t understand: There are millions of English and American users, but you can´t make Canon to change this.
    My best wishes and stay healthy.

    OMG! Finally the perfect lens to replace the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7!
    “Oh, one more thing [giggles], even though it’s a Pro series lens … we didn’t put the manual focus clutch on it!”
