![]() ![]() In a regular wired connection, the typical audio latency is 5-10 ms. These are the milliseconds (ms) it takes to process digital data and convert it to an audio signal that can be streamed through a wired or wireless connection to your headphones. This allows me to quickly rate images in the field.Audio latency is defined as the time it takes for audio data to travel from its source (computer, smartphone, mp3 player) to your headphones or speakers. The only change is the functionality of C1, which is now set to “Rating”. Additionally, I set “Focus Mode” to C1 and “Focus Area” to C2, which makes it easy for me to fully adjust my AF system on the fly.īelow you will also see screenshots of the buttons I customize for Image Review. I also have set “APS-C S35 / Full Frame Select” to C5, which allows me to quickly crop in on a subject that is far away, which changes the image file size from 61mp to 26mp in the process. This is a handy tool when shooting Astro/Night photography as it allows me to compose in near darkness by temporarily increasing the ISO of the Rear LCD screen. Most notably, you can see that I have set “Bright Monitoring” to C4. ![]() As you can see above, my setup involves a mixture of default settings for some buttons and custom options for others. This will register your settings under the number you selected.īecause still photography is my main focus professionally, I only customized my camera for photos and reviewing images, letting the video camera modes duplicate what I have for still images. Once inside this setting, all you need to do is select 1, 2 or 3 from the drop of the screen and hit the select button (middle of the rear wheel next to the rear LCD). Here you will find “MR 1/2 Memory” at the bottom of the page. When you are ready, jump into the menu system under Camera Tab 1 and head to the 3rd menu page. Just about every setting can be saved, included AF settings, so be sure to dial things in just how you like it. This includes ISO, Aperture, and Shutter-speed, but also Camera Mode, such as shooting in Manual or one of the Priority Modes. To register new settings to this function, first fully adjust your camera to reflect the settings you want to be saved. For my setup, I have a mode set for landscapes, one for wildlife and another for shooting movies, each with very different settings on by default. ![]() This can come in handy if you find yourself shooting a variety of different situations often. To change this setting, find “RAW File Type” in the first camera tab in the menu system.Īnother commonly overlooked feature of the Sony mirrorless system is the ability to save your camera settings to custom Mode Dials labeled 1, 2 or 3 on the a7R IV. In my 6 years of shooting Sony, the only time I have ever seen a difference between Uncompressed and Compressed RAW files has been when photographing the night sky or a city skyline at night. This will allow you to shoot more images per SD card while having a larger image buffer since the file sizes are smaller. For just about everything else, Sony’s “Compressed RAW” mode should work great for you. If you are shooting in high contrasting scenes with bright highlights and dark shadows (such as astrophotography), you will want to shoot in Uncompressed mode which outputs an uncompressed 120mb file. While I won’t get too much into the technical side of this issue, the idea behind these options hasn’t changed in the last few years. If there is one setting that has caused controversy with Sony’s mirrorless cameras, it would probably have to do with the choice to shoot in Uncompressed or Compressed RAW images. ![]()
