You have the best reviews! I have watched many reviews and yours has been the only one I've seen that mentioned back button focus, one or two bemoaned the fact that 'there was no BBF !!!!

Thank you very much! I shoot mostly videos (previously with Canon DSLRs using L telephoto lenses) and was about to give up on my RX10 iv and send it back. Your video explained what I had spent two days trying to dig out of a very confusing 269 page user guide. The video section of that guide does not start till page 200 and assumes knowledge of the previous 200 pages.

as usual lots of great info very helpful

Thank you

Thank you so much for doing such a great , clear understanding & outstanding Video Tutorial mate . Jay , You are the Best... You have no idea how much it helps us , Beginners and New Owners of Sony RX10 IV . I hope that Sony Head Office looks after you for promoting their Product as you are one of the reason i purchased my RX10 IV last week despite having been so angry at Sony Japan for mocking his Customers with the Rumors of a RX10 V since September 2019 . Keep it up , great Job .

Thanks

Thanks for the video it was very well done

Thank you again

Thank you for this video… I’ll be shooting with it for the first time

Well done! Your series on the RX10MK4 very helpful! Great camera for movies!

Thanks a whole lot. Clear, precise, to the point.

good vid, thanks amigo

It's also worth noting, before any white ballance adjustment is done: adjust the tint/hue of your LCD Display as your display is showing a overly cyan (bluish) appearance.

Thank you Sir!

great vids...keep em coming sir

Another helpful video for a new owner. Thanks.

very helpful thank you!

I use this camera for sports photography and replaced my 15,000 full-frame Nikon Camera and prime lenses. The only problem is in low light, pictures become useless, at least for moving objects. For the moon, I took handheld pictures that look as pro as National Geographic. I still love my RX10 IV after 2 years; I will buy the next one when released. I was thinking of shooting a video, so I looked at your tutorial. Can't get over GoPro 10 4k 120 FPS; 30 FPS will look like a VCR tape, haha. By the way, did you ever seen professional videographers zoom in and out? hardly ever, and there are a few reasons. If you look at the video theory, there are different shots to communicate your message, from ultra-wide (long shots) to ultra macro (extreme close-up shots); therefore, zooming in and out is not made for recording video unless you want to look amateurish. On the other hand, zooming in and out after video compression will look terrible. Stick to the classy way of composing a video and avoid features that will make your video suck! I knew most of the stuff you presented, but you did a great job; well done!. Guys, don't forget to storyboard your ideas before shooting and only record what you need. Otherwise, it will take ages to go thru your content. I will produce a video clip using GoPro 10, ND filters + macro lenses + DJI 2 Gimbal camera + robot (Auto camera tracker) for the first time. My hypothesis is that this setting will be excellent and so portable ;-). After that exercise, I probably won't look back to DLSR/mirrorless video. Cheers, J.

Thanks for review of Sony RX10 iv. Can you help me? How to install timelapse on this camera and how to swith off NTSC aware?

I want to buy this or the AX700.. I love the zoom on here.

What mode is the best for video? Now it is set to C. Is that right? Also, I am having a hard time setting the AEL button to focus. Thanks.

The most Important thing to teach/show the viewer is what memory card to buy to shoot 4kHD Vids. The "tiny V3" to the "right of SD logo" on 2 cards that seem exactly a like is lost in translation and when you get the warnings when attempting 4K video it's frustrating to find the small detail on card and huge difference in price. Thanks.

Very clear tutorial thanks. I want to take photos of the milky way but having trouble with any of the autofocus modes or manual. Can you give me some advice?

Hi there what file format do the movies save in is that an mp4??

Very timely info. I still have the mk2 cuz live out of a backpack on the road and prefer the most compact size. Is there anything presented in this lesson that is not a available on the mk2??

Just got this camera and have been searching for a complete tutorial, but only found bits and pieces. I like what you did but need a lot more to master this camera. Suggestions? (not good at manuals)

Jay, the camera has no time lapse mode. I was thinking I could shoot video at low frame rate and then just speed it up on the video exit software, what do you think ?

Thank you so much for this. I've just graduated from a BA Digital Media degree and I'm looking to get into videography and this video helped immensley. This camera is also a beast!

you can also take 18mp photos while videoing but only in fullHD @ 50/60 fps mode.

👍👍👍

How to enregistre video format MP4

Please make some outdoor sample videos in 4k mode by using different available options..

I don’t have as much settings as these on my camera. Do I have to do something to get them. And how do you get to the zoom speed

battery life while recording?

Hi Jason... I'm struggling to figure out how to set the RX10 IV to have it Record longer than 30 minutes. At 29 min and 45 seconds, it automatically stops Recording. I read that if I used the USB power ON (& connect USB power cable on the side port), it would continue recording as long as I have space on the sd card. Can you offer some advice on how to set for continuous record (longer than 30 minutes)?

Hi Jay, better than the manual, thanks for your vodeo on this camera. In video it's often recommended to use 1/50 sec or 1/60 depending of the film rate. Is this also your recommendation? thanks.

good Job thank you for this video. Do you experience "Recording Dialog window " after stop video recording ? I'm not sure is the camera or the SD card slow?

Does this camera not use mp4 format at all?

Can you change the zoom speed

@Jason. Thank you for the video. I have the same camera, but in the the Record Setting I can't find the option 60p50M. Same file format as in the video. Do you know why??

Dumb question. The movie shooting mode shows “ch 1” and “ch2” when recording. What are these two channels? Im a new subscriber to your videos, and I really appreciate your tutorial style! Thank you!

I set my main Pic button to take video. I want to change that back. I can't remember what position that was on the menu. Do you know where on the menu is the part that can change how the main button takes video or not?

You can only use the Video mode to do video. If you have the mode dial in S or A you will get a message stating it is invalid in that mode when you push the video button. If you have 4k selected or 120p selected in your video mode setting and go back to photo mode you are stuck in standard steady shot and have to go back and change your video settings to be able to use active or active intelligent stabilization in photo mode. That is a pain in the ass if you are shooting video and stills in the same shoot because you need the advanced stabilization beyond 300 mm.

What are the best settings for wildlife videography???

Hi Jay, I’m a little curious that if you still have a Sony RX1R MK2 ? and what you think about these two cameras if you compare the lenses and overall quality? Thanks 😊

4:21 - one can go from 600mm to 1200mm zoom in video?! 😳 Renting this camera this week, can't wait to test that nugget. Also curious if continuous AF still works in clear image zoom.

Hi. I was wondering how you can selfie movie record yourself? Obviously the display doesn't allow you to see yourself. Is this done with a mobile device?

Can I set clear image zoom in photograph mode or is it just confined to video. I ask because I can’t find this option in camera settings 1

How about overheat issue? How long RX10 iv can record?

Hi I’m in manual in movie mode on the RX 10 -4 and it won’t let me go below 1/125 shutter speed. do you know if this is true ?

I have searched for this question everywhere and can't find the answer. Can you use the electronic viewfinder when shooting in video mode?` It's a make-a-break question to buy or not to buy. I only want to use the camera for video. Prof editorial phot for 20 years, but the magazine of the world is now KZfaq.

How do u get it to play slow motion on the display ?

I see diffrent record settings, while I have the same camera. How come?

Hi Jason I can only record in 24p with 4k and only with 50p in full hd with my rx10 iv. I can’t select 60p or 30p, somehow. And neither can I select 120p in fhd. Do you have an idea how to fix that?

Jason, I bought mine in 2021 and my option is only... (see attached screen shot...

How do i take pictures while i'm recording a movie?

Tried using video mode last night (1st attempt) and not very successful at all! I had been taking some shots at night of xmas illuminations using a tripod and shutter priority to do long exposures and most of these came out great. I then tried pressing the movie button and panning slowly around to get a short video clip. First it took a second to focus and then as I panned around the image was blurred as the focus kept getting lost and refocussed! A far worse result than my camcorder! What did I do wrong? Are there specific settings which help to maintain focus while panning or is the camera simply not up to it? Havent tried in daylight - this was night video. Cant remember exact settings but as I had gone straight from taking pictures I probably had the camera on Shutter priority and flexi spot focussing

Can you take pictures while you record?

Thers is limited 30 min on video shoot, or unlimited video length shooting ?

question to everyone: can I use the sony RX10 m4 with a sandisk 256 GB SD card ( class 10, U3) ? or is the 128GB maximum?

my record settings have 2 options?

It seems that you are not aware of the possibility to zoom fast by pushing the zoom button fast to its end, and to zoom slow by pushing it a very little. This strangely does not appear in the manual but has been told to me by a repairor. Therefore, I set it on fast, and then go slow pushing the button just a little.

Apparently when you zooming out it is loosing a focus, so much for nice panning. Any comments on that?

guys i need your help. when i plug in my headphones in the camera it has no sound. i've tried everything but i couldnt hear anything. can you help me?

My Sony rx20 camera LCD screen is not displaying why connected to HDMI port, why could be the right setting for it.

I had the III I loved it but the images were just not as good as the 6500. I played with the IV and wow its fast. It just needs a bigger sensor

Pourquoi est ce que, rarement mais sûrement, la vidéo en cours de tournage s'arrête brusquement, pour les deux appareils RX10 III et IV ?

Have you noticed the video picking up sound of the camera zooming in and out?

I think that the bluish green tint on the lens is literally destroying the picture quality of this camera.

Idont have 60p

did anyone else giggled at " p mode"?

Your videos are dope. But the titles shown in the video are bad quality.
