Very helpful video. Watched a couple of times over the past year as I become more familiar with this camera and understand more each time I review your video. Thank you for taking the time to walk through each function.
Just bought an rx10 mark 4,cost me £1400 and am so looking forward to learning how to use this camera and to photograph birds and wildlife.(had a nikon p900).I will be watching your video stuart and applying all of your settings 🙂❤️
I bought the RX10 m4 in Feb. Just started photography of birds still and in flight. One day I'll master it but any video instructions from you on how to set up the camera would be really appreciated. Keep up the good work. Sue
@@sjm.photos Yes Stuart, I’ve had three positive comments on it. I also used it as the basis for my setup, which actually was pretty close to yours. Keep well.
Thanks Stuart, this has helped me to learn a bit more about the RX10iv and understand it a bit better and would like to whish you a merry Christmas and looking forward to following you next year and hopefully get to meet up when things have settled down.
thats cool i dont know everything about it as some functions i have just never used . and yes have a merry christmas , yes totally meet up at some point. :)
glad to be of help obviously this is how i set mine up so you may want to adjust the settings to suit you but it is one of the best things ive ever bought and it changed the way i photograph things now especially as an every day thing
Hello when i press play to view the photo i just took ir opens a small thumb and all the info regarding the photo can you please tell me how to preview image in full screen without the info ? Thank you
Stuart, your videos are all very informative. Here's my dream list for the future Sony RX10 MV: 24-600 f/2.8 lens 24mp 1 inch sensor with 5dB higher SNR for increased low light performance vertical battery grip dual UHS II card slots zoom focus tracking 5 axis IS for stills and video built-in neutral density filters a quick connect ring with a 0.43x wide angle lens accessory for sharp 16mm reach in-camera bokeh and focus stacking effects processing faster processing Nice?
i think its only clear image zoom and slightly better jpegs. but i personally shoot raw only so i benefit from the full raw bit rate over the 8bit jpegs. also raw image size is larger aswell. and in raw you get the full dynamic range aswell. other than that no idea sorry
Yes indeed re the RX10 MKV - can you imagine our reactions if they announced it on Xmas Day 🤩😆😎🥳 - and thanks - interesting re setting White Balance to White ... I might have to try that!
Thanks for such a great video! I'm am a beginner at photography. Going to Alaska in a few months and am seriously considering this camera. You mentioned that it will not focus while zooming, which seems so odd to me. Is that just in the view finder, or can you at least see what you're zooming in on through the LCD screen? Thanks in advance.
with a dslr or mirrorless you can manually zoom the lens and focus at the same time unlike the rx10iv which has an electronic zoom it will focus in video whilst zooming but wont if you are in stills. other than that the camera is a beast
Enjoyed your video, The only fault I have found with the camera is the video button, Its too small, so I super glued a a button battery on it, Works great now.
Evening stu.im trying to save two different settings for quick access to memory. But I'm struggling. I think I've saved one of my settings ok. But the other one I'm trying to save the shutter speed won't save. It's keeps going to the speed saved on my other memory slot..hope that makes sense. Any advice please
hi Elt um its a hard one mainly because i never use the memory recall. i just adjust my settings all the time manually so sadly i dont think id be much help also i dont use it because every time you format the card you lose them.
@@sjm.photos thanks.i was referring to the other memory option which saves to the camera itself. I've spent all nite trying to figure it out.lol. Still no joy 😂
@@sjm.photos Found a way to save different settings to camera. These won't delete when card is formatted. To programme the settings such as birds in flight: set up your required selections such as A, Iso, Focus Area etc. Then in the menu, go to Camera Settings 1, page 3 of 14 and go to the "Memory" option. Select which Memory location (1, 2 and 3 are on the camera and M1, M2, M3 and M4 will save to the SD card) you want to save that specific set up. Repeat for each different set up, but choose a new memory location. I have set 1 to BIF, 2 to static birds, 3 to scenic shots, M1 using Shutter. To use the various saved options the mode dial needs to be set to the "MR" position. Instead of C1 or C2 buttons I have programmed Memory Recall into the Fn button. To switch between configurations I press the Fn button, which brings up Recall and scroll left or right to the memory setting you want: 1, 2, 3 or M1 and press enter. To programme the function button: press menu, go to Camera Settings 2, page 9 of 10 and go to the "Function menu set" option. Set (Function Upper 1) as "Shoot mode". When using the method of saving to c1 or c2 using the other method. You have to keep the button pressed to use the different settings saved to it. This was you can go switch to what Eva saved settings you require Hope this makes sense😀
@@eltwilliams1116 thats pretty cool not something id use but very helpful thankyou for the info im sure others will find it helpful. keep enjoying the camera.
@@sjm.photos maybe a new video for you to make 😀. My camera driving me nuts lol I've yet to get a pin sharp pic of birds like you achieve . Just hope my camera not faulty In some way as it was bought used. 😥
the Af on is face detect and eye af. if you go back into the settings and add a new custom in the FN button set up when you go in there choose face/eye priority af, it means then you can pop into the FN menu easily and turn on face detect and eye af easily also in there i add animal /human subject detection so i can swap between animal and human easily
@@sjm.photos Cheers Stu. I've said before this is a little too advanced for my novice ability. I think I'm just going to learn how to use it like the old fashioned cameras were, first. You know, with just ISO, exposure ring and shutter. Build up gradually from there. I think I'm asking too much of myself to learn it all on this obviously quite amazing camera.
G'day Stuart, first of all I like to thank you for your videos on Sony RX10 IV. I have had all of the models since its introduction and although I am shooting with the Alpha 1 I would love to buy the next model of my Sony RX10 IV. What are your thoughts Stuart? Would we ever see our dreams come through?? Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023 Clem
nice to see someone else using the A1 and rx10iv aswell. thanks for watching. i really hope we get a complete monster all in one the rx10v has the opportunity to be the camera that many would only ever need.
Hi Stuart, thank you for your very informative vids. I was wondering, even if you say don't use it yourself, to explain memory recall? If I'm photographing a landscape and want to quickly change to bif it takes a lot a changes to my settings. Shutterspeed, ISO, focus settings etc. I hope memory recall makes the switch quicker. Greetz from Holland.
thankyou for watching and glad they helped you so far. the memory recall dial can be set up so you can swap between settings quickly so it will probably help in that way. id have a quick search on youtube there will be full set up videos on how to use the memory function. regards stu
@@aerofilmzofficial2380 no idea i have never used it so i cant really comment i litterally use mine in manual mode and push record i dont use slog or any other presets
@@sjm.photos I would suggest you do a video about S-LOG in rx10iv so that we could learn. Anyway thanks so much. You really inspired me to use my rx10iv so very well. Commenting from Africa_Uganda
@@aerofilmzofficial2380 i shall see what i can do as video wise im pretty basic on it myself i shall have a play and thanks for the kind words and watching. i have some new mics now aswell so sound will be good now
In your opinion would a A6700 with 18-135mm lens be better than my RX10iv in terms of resolution, low light capability, AF etc. I appreciate that the 600mm reach of the RX10iv would be sacrificed.
Hi Stuart, I appreciate you detailed instructions very much. I am new to the RX10 and I am struggling with some operational settings. Moving from a video camera that took acceptable videos but really bad pictures I want to use the RX10 primarily for video but also take excellent pictures. I tried to take video with the movie button, but the results were miserable: way too much shaking from my side. So, I set the shutter button to take video with much better results. But now I lost the capability to take an image at the same time. I have not found a setting that allows me to assign a different button as image shutter. The 2nd issue I have is when I use the movie mode settings, the wheel to switch to an image setting requires quite some "clicks", i.e., four if manual is not the preferred mode. Do you have any suggestions?
hi Harald. its always a difficult one as even though the camera is very customisable its lacking in some areas but thats just its age showing i have noted this and will now look into it watch this space i will be back asap with something hopefully
Thank you Stuart. An extremely useful video. I am new to the RX10 as of TODAY.... I'm gradually working my way through all your videos (and camera settings 😊) . One question if I may - is there a way of pre-setting the zoom so that the camera switches on at a predetermined focal length? In an ideal world, I would like the zoom to start at something like 100mm thus giving me the chance of then zooming in or out as appropriate. At the moment, the camera automatically goes to 24mm
I dont actually know other than if you set the powersave to one minute and if you had it at 600mm if it goes to sleep and then you push the shutter button it will go back to 600mm automatically

Hi Stuart, whats up? I bought this camera 2 weeks algo, before i had a Nikon 3500, and now im confunsed because the menu of D3500 is more easily than the rx10, your vídeo is incredible for me, the problem is that i don't understand very well the english, for that i ask You if You can put the configuration for subtitle in spanish, thanks for you time.
Hi Stuart, thanks for the deep menue explanation. At the beginning you mentioned astrophotografy using the RX10M4. Can you make a video how to set up the camera for this purpose and maybe show some results? thanks again and have a nice christimas holiday too. Greetings
Hi there, thanks for the video. I was hoping to find something similar to what I have on my A99ii which is strangely just called "Focus Standard" on there. When I assign this Focus Standard to a button it allows me to have full wide focusing on which is great 80% of the time but then when I want to lock onto something specific that the camera isn't doing for me on it's own (eg the wrong person's face or a bird in a busy bush etc) I can hold this button and it activated the very center focusing square and then locks that until I let go of it. A super useful focusing tool to have. Any idea if this camera has it / has similar and where to find it? Thanks for your time.
hi yes the Rx10iv has it i or similar i have the lens button to toggle between what ever focus area ie wide or tracking etc and push the button it goes to spot push it again it goes back to what ever you were before its really handy its called . register Af area toggle
@@sjm.photos Thanks for coming back to me, yeah I guess I could use that in conjunction with another button too to also lock the focusing so I can re-frame my shot at the same time even when I have continuous focusing on. The 'Focus Standard' mode on my A99ii seems such a simple and powerful single button feature I just thought it would be on pretty much all cameras tbh as I use it all the time where the camera isn't understand who or what I actually want my focal point to be. How small can you make the focusing centre point on the RX10iv? Sometimes if a bird is right in a tree with lots of branches in front of it then it won't lock onto the bird and the centre point is still too large to miss all the branches but a single AF spot would be able to, the same for a person who is right across a room with a sea of other faces between you and them, it's often asking too much of the AF system to pick out the one person you want but a single AF dot will cut through them to where you want it.
@@Speak_Out_and_Remove_All_Doubt i have just done a video about custom buttons and the af set up plus other stuff including what you asked so hopefully it helps etc.
@JR C im sorry i can see your comment in the notifications but its not showing up for me to see all of it or to even reply i love youtube sometimes lol.
Hi Stuart, I sent something through but not sure if it went correctly or not? The email message box seemed to having nothing in it? I’ll try again now I have the email address. Cheers Andy
OMG! Does anyone know how to lock the focus point in the center on the scene modes -- it's driving me NUTS ! -- the focus point is moving all over the place and my subjects faces are ALL out-of-focus 😠
Turn off the touch screen but if you are using flexible spot for example push the wheel centre button to lock it in place or change between wide to centre as needed also if its faces turn on face detect and eye af
