New a7Sii owner


Recommended Posts

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:
