do I have joint hands or is this just a tiny cup no that's good
whoo I'm on a roll today I've shot three videos
back-to-back that has a tip for you if you're looking to start a YouTube
channel everybody does it take part of the day
shoot three videos in a row change location change your clothes that gives
you content for the next three weeks if you like me I have a full-time job which
is nothing to do with my channel I also have a wedding business which takes up
my weekend and then I have to edit during the week so finding time to shoot
videos and then edit them is sometimes really challenging
so I batch shoot that's a pro tip for you all right so I've had this quite a
while now I'm gonna say three months and I've used it for a lot of different
things I've shot a ton of weddings with it different corporate gigs loads of
stuff for the most part I do still really really love it as a camera I've
done a review I've probably done every other possible video you can imagine
talking about this and I still a few more to do with it but I wanted to do a
video today because I have found an issue with this camera let me preface
this by saying I still love this camera I'm still gonna continue to use this
camera I'm not selling this camera and I foresee using this for the near future
probably even into next year I will look at the a7 s3 it comes out depending on
how good it is maybe even the a 6700 but for the meantime I'm very happy with
this other than this one issue so as you know I shoot a lot of weddings which are
outdoors in the Sun sunny weather we're in the middle of summer right now and
it's very hot and very sunny outside this isn't an overheating issue if
that's what you're thinking but is an issue that is becoming very very
frustrating and that is to do with the screen the screen itself isn't the same
screen that's in the a7 r3 it's the same body as the a7 r3 pretty much and same
focusing system as the a9 but the screen is the much lesser quality screen than
only higher end cameras like the a7 r3 and
the a9 for the most part that didn't bother me when I say lower quality I
mean a lot less pixels so it doesn't look quite as clear I don't have a
problem with that part screen though the issue is the way that it's showing the
exposure properly it doesn't accurately display on the screen what you're
filming the exposure is not correct it always appears really really hot I don't
mean like literally hot touching the camera said it's not overheating
everything appears more overexposed than it actually is things are coming up as
being overexposed and they're actually not
which leads to a problem because you're looking at the screen you're thinking
things are overexposed you're then bringing down your exposure by means of
the ND filter by means of adjusting your shadow depending on how you shoot and
you're actually under exposing your images which is a big problem I noticed
this recently because I shot some stuff on the camera expecting it to be
overexposed I then looked to them on a computer afterwards and it was actually
fine now the way around it is to use the EVF doesn't have that issue you can look
at something on the screen here it looks over exposed you look through the EVF
EVF stands for electronic viewfinder in case you didn't know this is the EDF you
look for the EVF and it's fine but on the screen if it's too hot too
overexposed that's a problem I say it's a problem but it is more of an annoyance
because you can use this but have you ever tried to put a camera on a Xeon
crane which is what I use of stabilizer a gimbal and then you're balancing it
and then you're trying to look through the eyepiece that ain't easy so that
isn't an ideal situation and I use a monitor for these videos just monitor up
here if you want to check that out but I don't use that on earth as young crane I
I don't want to have to have that big setup I don't feel like using the screen
is allowing me to accurately yeah why I need to get so I end up finding myself
shooting video now and more often than not I'm looking through the EVF to make
sure the exposure is correct because it's the only thing I can trust I kind
of now know as I'm used to it what is exposed and what's not but it's still
really annoying really frustrating to have this problem at the camera weddings
are very time sensitive and things a lot of things happen in the wedding that
only happen once first dance first kiss first look you need to get reactions
from those people and I mean you can reshoot them but it
doesn't look the same like you get the genuine reactions from people you need
those reactions as they're happening so this is really frustrating to use for
weddings at the moment you have to just use the EVF and that's really annoying I
want to get this sent away I want to get it assessed by so many and the repair
center is actually quite close to me but I can't kind of give this camera away I
have I think seven more weddings to shoot for the remainder of the wedding
season and this is my a cap I can't go without it I do only a 6300 on the
86,000 as well and I can say that I do not have those issues with those cameras
is purely related to this camera so I don't really know what to do with it
this isn't meant to be and I hate the a 7-3 camera now but it's not I still love
this camera I'm still gonna continue to use this camera I think it's a fantastic
camera still other than that screen issue battery life still blows me away
every wedding I can shoot an entire wedding on two batteries just two and
there's still battery left at the end of it with an a 6300 I need like this many
batteries that's fine too probably just use one eighty seven three batteries so
battery life is remarkable and Sony's done a really good job with that
sorry often a bit of a tangent there but yeah I wanted to post this video because
it's relevant to you guys I post what I use my equipment the experiences I'm
having with those pieces of equipment on here on my channel I figured I should
let you guys know because a lot of you have the 873 as well so yeah I having an
issue with the a7 3 I'll keep you posted on what's happening
I think that's it all right I'll see you in the next one see ya actually stop
before you go if you are having the issue that I'm having can you put a
comment down below put that down below or message me let me
know I do want to go to Sony and with my issue at the end of the wedding season
and if I know other people have the problem - then maybe it's more of a
broader issue okay you can go now see ya seriously you can go okay see you next
week bye
you
