Welcome back everybody to the Fuji Guys. My name is Jerry and in this video
series of the top features of the X-A7, I'm gonna go through
the 4K video options and the different movie options that you have in the menu.
If you're interested in knowing more about video keep watching.
This camera is equipped with 4k. It can record up to 15 minutes at a time in
4k or you can record up to 30 minutes in 1080. You have different frame rate
options as well, like 4k 24p, but you also have 1080 60p down to 24p as well as a
100P slow motion as well built into the camera. So, let's go through some of
those video functions. First let's talk about actually accessing how to
shoot video so you have two ways of doing it. You can go to the drive options
and then select the video or the movie modes and then hit the shutter release
to start recording video. Pretty simple, but it adds an extra step. If I'm already
shooting pictures and I have someone in my family that's doing something that I
want to that I want to capture in video very quickly then I can just hit this
function button here and it's programmed to automatically start recording video
based on my video recording settings so I just hit that button and it
immediately goes into video record mode and begins the recording of the video.
Pretty straightforward, you press it again to stop. If we go into the menus
and we'll go into the video options and this is where you have your movie mode
so your different resolutions; 4k 30 as I mentioned, 4k 24 with drop frames if
you wish as well as Full-HD 60 as well. So, if you need to just slow down your
action you can actually 1080 60 and then do slow motion from
that. But, there is high-speed video recording as well; up to four times at 25P
playback so but it records at 100P, and then we have the video countdown
recording so you can either do 15 seconds 30 seconds or 1 minute. Some of
the social media platforms are limited to how much video you can actually post
so this will actually give you a countdown timer so you can actually time
yourself while you're recording. You have different focus modes, digital
image stabilizer as well to get an even smoother image and I recommend you keep
that on especially if you're vlogging. You can set your ISO here as well to
either a set ISO or to auto. Now, the camera can record 4k but it can record
either 4k to the card or to HDMI and you can actually have the HDMI recorder
actually control the recording of it as well.
And, you have some mic adjustments as well so on the side of the camera I'm
just gonna close the screen here on the side of the camera we do have the
microphone input it's a 2.5mm mic input, but included is a
3.5 mm adapter, so that you can adapt to any of your third-party
microphones that you might be using. If you're using the Fujifilm ST-1 mic, it is
native a 2.5 millimeter so it will just plug in automatically and you can choose
whether or not that port is a microphone or a remote as well. I like
using that as a remote cable when I'm doing long exposures and I have the RR-100
Fujifilm cable remote. As I mentioned in the video modes or in the
film simulation part of the top features, film simulations are also available to
you in video recording mode so I'm just gonna go to say manual mode here for a
video I'm gonna go to our little arrow here and you
can see our film simulation. This also applies whether you're shooting in
stills or if you're shooting in video mode. There's our black and white I'm
gonna keep the black and white and then oh I was not in video mode so now I'm
gonna record video. It went right into video mode as soon as I hit that little
quick release. Really, really convenient! I don't have to go and change into a video
mode anymore. This concludes this feature of the 4k recording for the X-A7
If you have any questions, feel free to post them up down below to watch more of
the other feature videos we'll have the links posted in the description. We'll
also have the playlist here up in the top corner as well. Until next time,
I'm Jerry of the Fuji Guys.
