The 'Emphasized REC Display' is genius! Thanks for pointing out this feature. I shoot exclusively 'PP-11', S-Cinetone'. My videos are strictly 'home movies', and I don't really like doing a lot of grading in post. I also appreciate you pointing out the 'Different Set for Still/Mv'. I already had all 'checked' but had forgotten why. Hey! I'm 70 years old. LOL! I really appreciate you explaining your choices. Some, just say, 'change this setting' and never explain why and what benefit it has. Thanks!
Came here specifically to find out about the setting for different settings for photo to video, was sick of seeing photo mode load in S-Log picture profile. Thank you! 6:29
Brilliant this. If you always shoot in SLOG3 then would you set the exposure compensation to 1.7 and store this in all memory slots so you do not forget when switching? Also, how come you use the Picture Profile to set SLog and not 'Log Shooting: On (Flexible ISO) with the Color Gamut set to S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log?
50 fps 1/100 in the Pal area .... NTSC would have been 60 fps - 1 / 200 shutter ... I got a bit confused for a while but later figured it out. Does 10 bit make a huge difference as compared to 8 bit?
Does Subject Recognition in AF work in the Manual mode? I just set all the custom information to slot 1 as you described but I noticed the camera is in Manual. Wouldn't that disable the Subject Recognition in AF? I just don't want to sit down to record a talking head video and then see that I am out of focus in the footage :/
Great paced tutorial Curtis, very succinct and informative. Just got a 67' and the AF is blowing away my Fuji XH2S, so that's off to the auction. Also paired the 67' with the Siggy 18/50 and that is fantastic bang for a just a few bucks.
confused between sony a7c and a6700. i know both are different in budget & sensor size. still for short films which one will be better from all aspects
Good and useful video. Just wonder what video and picture settings would you recommend for someone who doesn't have all the time of the World to post process his videos or edit all of his photos in Lightroom. Thanks
Hello Curtis. Nice presentation here! I've watchet very interested because intend to buy this "beast". When you think that the crop factor is to be taken into account. When we use APS-C lenses on an APS-C body or when we use FF lenses on an APS-C body. Thank you!
Where did you find the overlay that looks like old film scratches? Also... thanks for making the video. I bought this as a travel camera, opposite the a7iv and xh2 I lug around for work. Also... at those settings can you use v60 uhsii cards? Or do you need v90? Thanks again. Great video
How is overheating? I live in a tropical/humid place and I was thinking either this or the Lumix s5ii for mostly photos and some videos on the side I want to be sure that I’m making the right choice and will future proof myself. Ik that the lumix is having a sale where u can get it for $2049 with 20-60 kit lens and a 50mm 1.8 and with the Sony if I get it body alone with the sigma 18-50mm and 30mm it will be $2200
I haven't experienced any problems with overheating. Personally recommend this over Lumix but that's just my opinion. Hope that helps and enjoy your new Camera, which ever you decide to go for! 😁📸
Two very different cameras with huge price differences. It really depends what you need and want from a camera. My usecase could be completely different to mine. The video specs are much better on A6700 whilst the A7RIV has that insane sensor for photography.
just got the camera, still waiting for a lens to arrive. I set up the camera per your settings so they better be good!!!! 🤣 Great video mate, thanks for the help and explanations
Perhaps you could make a video around or answer this question. Can you be a professional photographer with using just an APSC camera like A6700 alone ?
Any fixes as to why I can’t load 10-bit video into Davinci Resolve? The media file shows in the timeline but the video does not play, only the audio. Thanks!
@@CurtisPadley Alright, thank you. I will get the A6700, hopefully i won‘t regret it. But i’m sure the camera won‘t disappoint🙌🏻 I was just looking around to see if there are better deals in that budget range because of Black friday and cashback. There should be, right? Maybe you know any cameras that are even better than the 6700
Brilliant video and I set the camera as suggested. I'm struggling to play back recorded video from the camera, should you use a V60 or V90 SD card or do you think it could be down to the computer software?
Curtis your videos are awesome brew. Just a question are you using a teleprompter when making your videos. Just wondering because you flow naturally and if that was me I would have stumbled over my words. God bless and always look forward to your content. Hey, if you’re ever in Western Australia let me know. Cheers.
Thanks John! I'm not using any teleprompter, I have notes on my phone because for this video there is a lot to remember. Awesome to hear my videos flow naturally 🤙🏻
I need help. I got my a6700 one month ago and now I noticed over 10 pixel errors only on the monitor. Viewfinder and pictures are alright. What can I do about that? Is it normal or is it a no go?
High quality post, useful info capably presented by high-energy, delightful host!👍 Settings rationales explained, great tips, Curtis! Animated graphics a plus. Unique humor - airplane mode for drone shots😁. Well behaved dog - could become a channel mascot? My first encounter w/active AF illuminator was at a dark billiards hall - tough looking dudes asked me to turn off the red spotlight, so I did😁 no kidding. Thought your default focus target would be “trains”/trams. Tip: “Secret” settings menu in photo mode. Keep tapping the Display button on dial until you cycle through to the display that does not show live mode. Looks like a useful but static chart of various settings. Tap the Fn button and one of the settings will “light up”. Use the dial to change the value of the setting. Tap dial navigation buttons (top, bottom, left/right) to move to a different setting. Press Fn button to go back to static display. The feature is in all A6000 series, I believe - was meant to simulate display on DSLRs and ease transition to mirrorless, as I understand. (Might make a cool short vid.) Cheers!
The no 2 doesn’t allow us to change F and shutter speed in video mode The no 3 doesn’t allow us to change iso and shutter speed in photo mode if I am not mistaken (just like auto) No 1 and 2 in photo mode can’t record video But no 3 in photo mode allow us to record video So no 1 and no 2 are good for photo mode No 1 is good for video mode Or all of this only in my A6700?
Possible how your camera is just setup. Which is rather different from how they normally come setup as standard. Make sure you are in manual mode. In auto, P, A or S modes you won't be able adjust some of these parameters
Yeah, I always ask myself whether I'm listening too slowly or the photographers speak so fast (all of them actually, check out the other tutorials available on UA-cam)
I slow down the video on a lot of them, especially when I need to really pay attention, and take notes. Yeah, our language should be called American, instead of English. 😅
Why would you cheap out on cards 💀💀 if you can afford a $1400 camera the least you could do is pick up a uhs-II 64gb for like 65 bucks. V90 you can do continuous shooting in photography which is godsend to hold it down and it not slow down.

Please what lens do you recommend, for this camera. The goal is to create content and photograph the family.
Sigma 18-50 and SIgma 56 :)
Big fan brother.Thanks for such useful videos. We want to see more pov's Please. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Same for me, that's a great tip!
Appreciate this Curtis, just got my 6700 so still diving into to it. Im thinking to get the 10-18 Sigma as well

where did you buy the shutter button accessory?
Hi man nice job 👌🏻 how did you get the red shutter button? It’s so cool 😎😅
Can you use these settings with the Sony FX30, even though it's not really a photography camera but they have the same sensor at least.
I'm pretty sure you could, there maybe some slight differences but majority should be same! 📷
Thank you Curtis!@@CurtisPadley
Does Subject Recognition in AF work in the Manual mode? I just set all the custom information to slot 1 as you described but I noticed the camera is in Manual. Wouldn't that disable the Subject Recognition in AF? I just don't want to sit down to record a talking head video and then see that I am out of focus in the footage :/
Or will the camera still automatically lock in on my face once the Recognition Target is set to Human?
Great paced tutorial Curtis, very succinct and informative. Just got a 67' and the AF is blowing away my Fuji XH2S, so that's off to the auction. Also paired the 67' with the Siggy 18/50 and that is fantastic bang for a just a few bucks.
How did you put the red shutter button on it?
This
Fantastic video, appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Great video… but how do you fit that fab red shutter button?
This!
5:30 WONDERFULL - keep up the good work
How did you add the fuji red button to the sony camera?
Thank you for this amazing tutorial!!
confused between sony a7c and a6700. i know both are different in budget & sensor size. still for short films which one will be better from all aspects
Question, how well does that sticky on shutter button hold?
anyone know how to change the shutter button in sony a6700, thank u
Can we change font size? They seems smaller than zve10 on shoot display menu
This helped a ton, thank you!
How to access the custom save settings quickly
Thanks, very useful info.

Do you know if it is possible in auto shooting mode to change default setting iso auto 6400 to lower value?
I’ll have to watch again in slow motion!
Good idea. Here's another maybe use the pause function 💡
I’m looking at a new camera. Which would you choose. A7riv or the a6700.
Two very different cameras with huge price differences. It really depends what you need and want from a camera. My usecase could be completely different to mine.
The video specs are much better on A6700 whilst the A7RIV has that insane sensor for photography.
How to custom that what appears on the function menu
@@imgtutorials1260 Explained in the video my friend 🙌
@@CurtisPadley thanks My friend very helpful
Hey ! Do you never use the viewfinder to photograph with your A6400 ? I don’t see any time you use it in you POV ?
just got the camera, still waiting for a lens to arrive. I set up the camera per your settings so they better be good!!!! 🤣 Great video mate, thanks for the help and explanations
I’m getting this camera i need this video
Perhaps you could make a video around or answer this question. Can you be a professional photographer with using just an APSC camera like A6700 alone ?
A6700 is the sony diamond tip of his apcs camera. It’s a beast, yes for professional use, if you know how to use it WELL…
Super helpful Curtis! - thank you. Youve earnt a sub too!
Extremely useful video 👍
Any fixes as to why I can’t load 10-bit video into Davinci Resolve? The media file shows in the timeline but the video does not play, only the audio. Thanks!
I think you have to pay if using the free version
I do appreciate this video.
This camera or the Sony A7C for 261€ less? There are some good deals now with black friday and Sony cashback.
The 6700 does not have any sale offers
Sony A6700 in my opinion, you get better video specs and the new Ai processor for Autofocus 📸
@@CurtisPadleySo glad you’ve said this as I picked up the a6700 over the a7c
@@CurtisPadley Alright, thank you.

nice, will purchase a6700 this week
How do I disable taking 3 pictures every time, this happens either in apperture mode, manual etc.
You need to update shooting mode to single. I think you presently has bracket mode - mid or H+
Thank you for this video. Can you please confirm how you added the red shutter button please.
what is that red button cover?\
Brilliant video and I set the camera as suggested. I'm struggling to play back recorded video from the camera, should you use a V60 or V90 SD card or do you think it could be down to the computer software?
V90. Don’t cheap out. It’s the card being too slow.
Both xavcs and xavchs have 100mbps at 4K. Won’t the xavchs store more data to better h265 compression?

From my hands on experience, no have not ran into any issues.
Bro u are master thanks for the information 🙌🏽💯🔝
What memory cards do you recommend/use please?
Same question.

while i was watching this video, i realized my photos and videos should capture the moment than worry about what settings real photographers would use
While I was watching this video I realized I was not close to being ready to watch this video
The no 2 doesn’t allow us to change F and shutter speed in video mode
The no 3 doesn’t allow us to change iso and shutter speed in photo mode if I am not mistaken (just like auto)
No 1 and 2 in photo mode can’t record video
But no 3 in photo mode allow us to record video
So no 1 and no 2 are good for photo mode
No 1 is good for video mode
Or all of this only in my A6700?

Make sure you are in manual mode. In auto, P, A or S modes you won't be able adjust some of these parameters
I'm brand new to the Sony menu ecosystem... I'm just going to customize my 6700 the way you have yours and learn from there 😊
The Lonely Overlander
It's a good idea , but find what works for you within the environment you work in.
This is gold.
Excellent! Thanks
Ok The switching between menus was so fast that I couldn't follow while also trying the settings on my phone.
What red shutter button is that?
How do I turn off the intelligent auto in my camera? I am looking everywhere in the internet🥹
Your a legend thanks mate
I could not find the Long Exposure NR setting for the life of me! Great video, you're a life saver!
Glad I was able to help. It's super buried in the menus
You putting the 6400 aside for this one?
I don't currently on this camera, but would like to soon! I'll be using A6400 even when I get A6700 😁
you made such a helpfull vdo bro
Lots of good tips but could slow down a bit!
Yeah, I always ask myself whether I'm listening too slowly or the photographers speak so fast (all of them actually, check out the other tutorials available on UA-cam)
I slowed down the playback speed and turned on the closed captions - separation of a common language! He’s almost speaking American😊
I slow down the video on a lot of them, especially when I need to really pay attention, and take notes. Yeah, our language should be called American, instead of English. 😅
Great! Thanx!
Hi Billy!

How do you have a red shutter release button? lol
My brain 😵🤯
I need to buy this camera but my parents budget😢
Hi I cart keep up you go a bit to fast
Use the pause function 🤙🚀
you don't own the camera so why all the settings?
I own the camera now haha
i dont have a camera but i love watching your video. ❤🫡🍻
Appreciate you tuning in! 🤙🏻
