Master your Sony A7CII! The responses have been amazing so I reduced the price of the A7CII Menu guide that walks you through every setting on the A7CII, how to use it, and my tips and tricks for how to customize everything: www.danwatsonstudios.com/products Also, if you would like to access my RAW files, edited images, and have access to insane cars photographed with every camera including the A7CII, I'm posting new shoots every week! patreon.com/DanWatson

Just bought this camera 4 days ago and as a Canon shooter for 7 years I just decided to switch to Sony and the a7cii is the perfect camera. I also bought a sigma-mc 11 adapter so that I can still use both my sigma and canon ef mount lenses and very happy that the Ai autofocus works perfectly especially to my Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L (Photo mode only) very happy that I can still keep my canon body and lenses

Thank you. I have the A7CII and for travel its large sensor brother the A7CR. Video was fun to watch and I’m going to take a look at your guide. Just wondering, since I really only shoot stills is the guide organized to allow focus on those features and not get bogged down in Video? Take care.
@learningcameras
@learningcameras Ай бұрын
Awesome! Appreciate that. So yeah, the guide is set up that I go through the entire menu in photo mode first, then the entire menu in video so if you don't care about the video, you'll just stop after the photo section but you definitely won't need to skip over any video sections.

I use the camera with two of the three small G primes from Sony plus two of the small primes from Sigma and I love working with one of these combinations, so I'll probably end up selling two of my GM primes from Sony, as they are no longer used .....

If you just want a compact camera with the quality of the A7IV, get the A7CII. If you want a camera where hardware matters so if you're using this semi professionally or for events, or rugged use, get the A7IV. The hardware on the A7IV is much better but the quality is the same. The A7IV is on a massive sale right now though so I might consider this: bhpho.to/3LYxxYW

do you not experience bad rolling shutter with the A7C2? other reviews have kept me from buying for this reason
@learningcameras
@learningcameras 22 күн бұрын
I mean it's not significantly worse than most other cameras at this price but it's up there. More megapixels means slower readout and Sony didn't improve readout speeds with this 2nd gen camera so you have the same readout speed with more pixels to read out so it's fairly slow which makes rolling shutter fairly bad. In my opinion, Sony should have gone with slightly less pixels to increase read speeds and also be able to get 4k60 full frame like the Canon R6II and Nikon Z6III. But then the advantage of the A7CII is the small compact size so it's a trade off

Helpful tips! One thing you mentioned at the beginning was not entirely accurate. You can disable the PASM dial when switching to video by enabling Flexible Exposure Mode. I have a video on my YT channel about "best way to shoot hybrid" with the A7Cii that covers this feature in a lot more detail. It's an awesome feature that a lot of people either don't understand or don't even know about. Check it out if you have a few minutes to spare. Keep up the great work!

I've owned the a7cii for just a few days, is it normal for the screen to jump to info mode after timing out when viewing a shot? View finder stays on. On manual, the screen stays on as long as I am focusing.

Thanks! I mean anytime you make a camera that is a scaled back version of an existing camera (A7IV) , you're basically compounding the cons that were already in the original camera. Doesn't make it a bad camera but you feel the cons way more.

@@learningcameras with Canon touting triple-base ISO in releases last month, was hoping to see them announce (at least) a compelling *dual base on these releases today; we know these Canons are damn good in low-light, but seems like a missed opportunity on their part to underline this capability better and excel in this regard. famous last words lol but "maybe a future fw update" will bring this yea? 🤷‍♂

@@kernzilla So the R1 does dual base at 12,800 and the R5II at 4,000. My hands on with the R1 is going live shortly and the R5II just went live. None have the 3-base ISO of the C400 that I could tell. No camera manufacture "advertises" a dual base iso in photo cameras though. Whatever the reason that language is ONLY used for cinema cameras. A rep admitted to me once that in order to technically be a dual base ISO, everything has to be the exact same at both ISO and most likely in photo cameras, there is just a slight difference in color or noise at the 2nd base ISO that they aren't fixing. But either way noise significantly cleans up on the R5II at 4000 and the R1 at 12,800 which is really high ISO for a 24mp camera

Is the a7cii the better choice compared to the a7iv for car cinematography?
@learningcameras
@learningcameras Ай бұрын
Not really. The only benefit for cars with the A7CII is the car specific subject detection but I rarely use it for cars. Like I said in the video it works when you want to focus on the entire subject, but most of the time for cars I'm focusing on a wheel, spoiler, steering wheel...and the subject detection AF mode doesn't help for that. So then it becomes all about hardware with the A7CII being smaller and lighter but the A7IV has a better viewfinder, dual card slots, and extra custom buttons
