Santa was very nice to me this year ... there was an a7Sii body under the tree.

 

I engineer a live music radio show and like to shoot video once the audio mix is settled.

I also like to shoot live music in dark, noisy bars.  I'm learning!  Already better results

from previous Nikon P7700 video, but I've got way more variables to deal with.

 

One I'm more adept with the a7Sii, I'll share experience with external audio feed to the camera.

 

Added the FE24-240 because I wanted the 10x zoom more than great resolution.

I also picked up a Fotodiox M42 adaptor so that I could use my old Pentax Spotmatic lenses.

I also like to shoot macro, so I covet the 90mm macro lens.

Hello! I have a Sony A6000 and I'm having issues with audio distortion on my videos. The audio is way too high and jarry, and I cannot adjust the volume setting in Fn or in the Menu setting. I don't see anything to adjust audio levels for video filming? I've ruined many performances due to the bad audio on playback. Help!

I don't know about the a6000 but the a7Sii definitely has a manual microphone level control.  For loud music, I've got to set the level down below 10 (what ever scale that is) to avoid overloading the mic preamps.  Here's an example of video with audio from the camera's built-in mics:

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
