New to Sony and the autofocus settings were confusing. This is a great method I’ll use. Works for the way I shoot… on the D500, I used single spot continuous and the back focus button only to recompose and shoot. Will require some relearning. Thanks for this. So helpful!

@@Ctrill23 Sony ZV-E10 is good bang for you buck especially when paired with a Sigma prime lens for apsc .It’s basically a newer version of something like the A6400 which I’ve been using for years. It was good enough to get me over 100k followers on my IG fitness account. Just upgraded to full frame with the A7IV today.

Zebra doesn’t necessarily show you what’s over exposed. You can choose the value you want covered. In your video it indicated 70 so it’s going to show 70% grey which is approx. Caucasian skin tone. Setting it to 100+ will show you blown out areas. I’ve found the My Menu function helpful. I’ve put some of the things which are buried in the menus there. Eg., I can access Shutter When Powered Off quickly there as I only enable that when I change lenses. Once you set up some functions on My Menu, it also is always the first thing to appear when you press the menu button. The menu items I have in My Menu are: tracking sensitivity, finder frame rate, aspect ratio, auto review, anti dust function, and emphasised REC display. I have my C1 button set on eye subject because I sometimes shoot birds.

Hello - just got my A7IV. Questions. How do I set my EVF to show horizontal info when in vertical mode. The R6 does it automatically. Second how do I sent my focus area separate between Photo and Video . Sony only does focus mode and not focus area where my R6 by default uses separate focus area when I switch between M and the movie setting. I'm still going through the settings so I thought I would ask. Also I notices the EVF is lagy compared to the R6 when panning fast when shooting birds in flight. Any way to get around this. Using Lossless compressed RAW high speed drive H+ and high view finder refresh and mechanical shutter. Great camera but some things are different from what I have on the R6. This weekend is my test with the R6 with RF 100-500 and the A7IV with the 200-600G lens.

Hello. I pre ordered the A7IV and keeping my R6 but with recent R5 price drops I could just get the R5 instead. Anything in particular. I have been shooting Canon for 20 years. I did own the A73 but sold it after 6 months. I just didn't enjoy the shooting experience. Nothing was instant as if the camera was always a few milli seconds behind where I found Canon to be instant. I was hoping the A74 would appeal to me. So are you keeping the Sony ???
