Hello,

Amateur photographer here, and even more of a novice at videography. I recently was using a youtube tutorial to set up my camera to start playing around with filmmaking on my Sony a6300 (Cody Blue: How to SETUP your Sony camera for FILMMAKING | Full Menu Walkthrough) and even after replicating the steps in the video, my camera is still set to Program Auto when I want Manual Exposure (I can not control the shutter speed without effecting the aperture and vice versa). Could someone help me get it so I can manually set these things when I shoot video? I have my current settings saved to Mem Recall 1. Can provide pictures/more information if needed, really appreciate the help everyone!

(I cant seem to upload photos smaller than max file size, but have a 'P' in my upper left corner, looking to make that an M, and adjust the shutter-speed/aperture/exposure all individually)

 

Thank you very much everyone, looking forward to being a part of this community!

 

Connor

Note: Maybe this is the problem, I do not have a UHS - I U3 memory card? even in regular video mode when I switch from HFR Shutter Priority (which was my only brush with video thus far; shooting some slow-mo) to programmed auto, when I try to record it states "Cannot record in this recording setting. Either switch to a UHS-I U3 compatible memory card or change record setting". Will be going to store today to attempt to buy one and see if that fixes the problem.

      Centre Focus on A7R3

      By Pieter · Posted

      I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html

      Custom white balance for studio flash.

      By vinniemac · Posted

      New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji 😬  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie

      Sony Alpha 7 III - What type of filter? What do you recomme

      By tadwil · Posted

      I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
