Hi Jac, I have Sony FX30, and I'm using AF, with Focus Mode - Continuous auto focus and AF transition speed and AF subj. shift sensitivity at 4, some how when I take moving shot, like move the camera in a diameter angle, most of the objects are a bit out of focus or a bit blurry or lack of clarity. I use aperture at 7 or 8, and wide angle, there is no person involved, but when I upload the video to computer, my eyes feel a bit unease, because Im not able to see many things properly or read properly, because it is either a bit blurry or not able to read it, and if car pass by, then it will not be clearly visible. Do you know if I need to make any further adjustment. Im using shutter speed double the size of frames per second, that is for 30 - 60 as shutter speed. please help

I really wish there was an option for Face Only AF, not just Face Priority. I really like when the focus holds when the subject leaves the frame. Great video btw!

@jmfrokka2354 Ай бұрын

I wonder what the best workaround for this would be. I have a button that switches from AF to MF, so perhaps that can be used as they are leaving and then turned back on when they re-enter? Perhaps we just max out the settings of subject tracking as well? Dunno.

Hi Jaques, Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. A question about the hold focus feature: the seems SO useful, but I cannot figure out how to turn it on so that soft pressing my shutter during video mode activates the hold focus. How did you do this?? Thank you!!

@spencerbigum1309 2 ай бұрын

I was wondering what handle you were using that extends over the screen to easily allow you to tap focus areas is - around timestamp 2:44 for the left hand? Thank you so much for this video - can't wait to try out these new settings with my FX3. Although I wasn't able to setup the lens hold button on my sigma to set focus while in manual mode. The Set focus would just toggle between AF/MF even though I had it wasn't set to toggle them.

This is an incredibly valuable video. I just ordered an A7IV, and discovered your channel looking for information on best practices and settings for the camera to have a starting point.
