Minimum ISO when shooting video is 200


Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

Just noticed it this past weekend, so this just started recently. 

 

I had set my iso to 100 then depress the video record button, the picture is washed out.  Turns out, the iso jumped from 100 to 200 after I started recording.  However, when I tried to lower the iso back down to 100, the iso window shows 200 is as lowest I could go when recording a video. 

 

I don't think made any changes to my camera that would cause this to happen.  The firmware was updated a long time ago and is the latest 3.1.  I tried this with both manual and auto focus lenses, and the symptoms remain.

 

And, I tried it with every PASM modes.

 

Help?

 

Here's a vid of what I am talking about.

hey, I don't have it enabled.  I never played with profiles before but just verified that it's off. 

 

I did test by putting the camera in profile 1 and 2 where the min. ISO is 125 but still the min. ISO is 200 when recording video.

 

 

hi,

Do you have picture profiles enabled? They limit the lowest possible Iso. Regards

Ben

 

Just found out A7's iso lower limit for video recording is 200 stated in the manual... coulda sworn I recorded below that before.. but guess I was wrong.

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • 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.
    • 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
