Last time I was shooting in shade with the Sigma 60mm 2.8, I found the lens often hunting, failing to acquire focus. I had lock-on AF and face detect both on. My focus area was also flexible spot and I was not always using the center focus point. Thanks to your video, I now know the reasons why the lens was hunting. Thanks.

@TheItalianDNA9 жыл бұрын
FINALLY I figured this out!! Probably not rocket science for you pros out there, but for folks having trouble replicating this there's two absolutely critical things that need to be set. 1) The camera needs to be in manual mode (M) and 2) You have to be shooting in RAW format. Manually moving the ISO as David does in the video should change real-time on the screen. The only aspect I cannot figure out is I cannot "see" in dark areas as good as he can in the video. I still get no focus or AF won't play nice. I think this has to do with the lens he is using vs. the kit lens I have.

This is great video. Thanks. NOTE: **One other setting people may have to do when shooting in manual/low light/raw is to go to Menu / Settings / 2 / and change Live View Display to "Setting Effect OFF". This will give you the constant bright screen if you are getting a dark screen. (I used the kit 16-50 and this step along with the other video steps did the trick)

I shoot with the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 in Aperture priority and for a while there I was getting blurry shots too in some situations. I found out the reason was because I had set ISO manually. If you are getting blurry shots in full auto mode then I guess you really do have shaky hands but the shutter speed is usually fast enough to get a clean shot, especially when the lens is wide open.

The sigma and all other third party lenses like the tamron 18-200 are not fully af hybrid compatible. The phase detection af only works when set to wide or zone and when the focus mode is set to continuous. Than you can see the little squares moving on the screen, but only in the center of the frame. So it is called wide mode but because it uses the phase detect system which is only supported in the centre you get center focus. With sony lenses they move all across the screen and you have a real wide mode. Because you have set it to centre af in this video you just get the contrast detection functionality with the 3rd party lenses. So no tracking/phase detect.
@LavikkaPhotography9 жыл бұрын
I would agree with you almost. With sigma lenses you are limited to the zone area but you can track and eye focus in center. It just won't move off of one center. I tested the Sony 30 Macro before the software upgrade and you can't even turn continuous focus on and according to sony, continuous focus is only enabled phase detection is enabled.

+Diana Verso For that you are going to want to use a tripod and manual focus. Turn on peak focusing and set it to red and mid and use focus magnification. Practice in a hall way focusing half way down the hallway. They only let you in there during day light so it shouldn't be too hard. Shoot at f6.3 or f8 on a tripod it should be about 2 sec exposure if I remember right. Also try HDR mode. I you have to do it hand held which you may depending on the mood of the guide. ISO 800 at f6.3 should get you to 20th of a sec. Turn off skin smoothing. Hope this helps.

+Lavikka Photography ok I've reset to default settings of my Sony A6000. I've switched to Live View "On" from "Off". I even tried AF-S and AF-C mode, both worked. And now I can see the changing to higher ISO from low light scenes. Shutter speed set to 1/3. What's your shutter speed settings on the video? I didn't change to spot focusing, I'm still using wide focus. Thanks Lavikka Photography. Please do share more of your Sony A6000 tips.

I have Sony a7 and tried these settings in room with pretty much same darkness. Was shooting wit canon 50mm 1.8. Didn't get this result like yours in this video. Why ?

+Jared Anota because you are using a canon lens.

my bf is a photographer and he is using D610 and he bought a A6000 to me for Christmas gift. He found out A6000 could not focus to face in indoor area. He want to know is A6000 low light AF only can focus not below EV 0 environment?

+Vicky Kam this is how you do it. and make sure live view effects are off. It should focus faster then the 610.

+Vicky Kam I almost forgot, it may struggle with the kit lens. You really need a fast prime.

Hi David, nice video! I have a Zeiss 24mm 1.8. I set my settings according to the video and my screen is not even close to being visible as yours. Could it be my lens?
@LavikkaPhotography8 жыл бұрын
In the menu - Live View Display - setting effects off.

+Lavikka Photography yeah, it was off, but not even close to your camera

+Dee-Dee Overton Is it possible you can do the same video with a Zeiss lens? Would I need a firmware update?
@LavikkaPhotography8 жыл бұрын
Do you have the display brightness turned down? Which lens are you using?

is liveview the same as evf thinking of getting the a5100
@LavikkaPhotography9 жыл бұрын
Evf is the eye view finder. The a5100 isn't bad but it's missing a hot shoe or any flash capability for that matter.
@ObelixCMM9 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure what are you asking, but A5100 does not have EVF (electronic view finder) As there is no mirror in mirroless cameras they are always in live view, image on screen or EVF is what sensor see at that moment

Yes but the a7r has a much higher resolution evf thats easy on the eyes
