Hey everyone, new to this forum and new to the world of Sony. I previously had a Canon 700D and just made the move to Sony mirrorless and bought the a6300. So far I'm loving shooting photos with this as I was just in the Faroe Islands and had some great shots with it; however, looking at the video footage I took in both 4k and 1080p, well most of it is absolutely 100% unusable. Every shot is loaded with aliasing and moire, it's unreal! I was not expecting this with this camera as I've heard wonderful things about the video on this camera. Anyone else have this problem and what can be done about it to prevent it and also to get rid of it in existing footage. Equipment and settings: Sony a6300 SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 64gb, class 10 SD card MC-11 Adapter with Sigma 17-50mm Lens (I know it's not 100% compatible!) Modes: XAVC S 4K 24fps - shutter 1/50th - Cine4 Profile XAVC S HD - 120fps - shutter 1/250th - cine4 Profile Conditions: Daylight Overcast/Clouds Water/lake (terrible aliasing) Patterns (jeans, beard, etc = aliasing/moire etc) Absolutely horrible experience with video...unusable. Anyone else having this issue or is my camera in general!? Thanks, Neil

I'm trying to use a Sony Alpha A6100 with a BlackMagic Intensity Pro 4K capture device, and having problems with Eye-AF getting disabled. For background, when I use the same camera with an Epiphan AV.IO 4K capture device, it works fine. Specifically, I go into the Setup3 > 4K Output Select menu, select "HDMI ONLY (30p)", and get 2160p29.97 output (so not actually 30, but good enough since I know what I'm getting) with Eye AF working great. Same thing happens with an Elgato Camlink 4K capture device. By contrast, when I plug the camera into the BlackMagic capture device, several things are different. First, the "4K Output Select" menu is unavailable. Second, on my screen I get a blinking "STBY" icon, as if it weren't plugged into an HDMI device. Finally, of course, there is no Eye AF, which is unfortunate since the improved AF was the reason I got this camera in the first place. I can confirm that I am getting 2160p29.97 output from the camera, though. There are several reasons why I would prefer to use the camera with the BlackMagic Intensity Pro card (in addition to the fact that I paid $200 for the card and own it). For starters, because the card is PCIe, it can do YUV 4:2:2 instead of 4:2:0. Second, in my experience the USB capture can be not quite as reliable just because USB is a bit flaky (I tested 5 different PCIe USB cards before finding one that seems to work okay with 4K capture). Can anyone thing of why the camera would not give me access to the "4K Output Select" menu with some capture devices, or if there's some other way of forcing Eye AF in my situation? Thanks.
