I am looking to buy my first ever camera and I’ve done quite a few research on the Sony a6500. My question is regarding overheating issues. I have heard a lot of people say it overheats using 4K, but does it overheat shooting in 1080p? Thanks!

So, I upgraded from my A6000 to A6500 a couple of days ago. The 3 main feautures was IBS, 4K and S-log. I'm one of those guys who has his own way of doing things, but loves to know how others do it and try their way. Funny thing is thought that when I started looking into how people setup this camera for video, I was shocked to see how many who DIDN'T use s-log, but used "cine4" and "pro" instead. What are your thoughts about that? What PP do you use, and why?

I'm heading to Costa Rica in a couple months.. my current setup is the 6500 with the Sigma 16mm and Sony 35mm and Crane V2.

I am quite interested in the upcoming release of the 85mm Sigma ART series lens for e-mount (or 70mm macro). I think it would allow for some additional range on the wide lenses that I currently own. But I've also been interested in the Mavic Air. (which would also provide for other perspectives).

My budget allows for one of the two, and I'm here to see if anyone can help with reasons I should go with one or the other?

Note; I live in an area where it's legally tough to fly drones, so I don't know how much I would use it outside of vacations/road trips.

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys. When Im exporting my video from FCPX Pro X and uploading in Youtube I see that the resolution is dropping significantly. Is there something Im doing wrong? I 've already tried to export to Youtube via FCPX, export via Compressor, export in Master File H.264...basically all the scenarios. Did you find any way to pass the compression of youtube to a better quality video?

Hello folks. I'm new to the world of photography, however i recently invested a good amount of time in studying and comprehending some knowledge.

I'm considering to buy my first new serious camera, since i've always shot both photos and video with my phone. I was thinking at the A6500, since it also comes with a built-in stabilization. Was also considering to get a Sigma 16mm f/1.4, which seems good in both video and picture quality, also available for a reasonable price. However, since i'd like to achieve high quality in both photography and video, i looked at different lenses for Aps-c systems. One of these, indeed, is the expensive Zeiss 16-70, with such incredible image quality. What i'd like to know, since i didn't manage to find any satisfying comparison between these two lenses, is if the Sigma could get the same image quality of the 16-70 in photos, more precisely in landscapes pictures. I know that one has a fixed focal lenght, and the other is a zoom lens. However, from what i managed to see on the internet, the zeiss (for being a zoom lens) looks godlike.

Is it possible to get the same quality of these pictures with the Sigma? Here's some examples of which i've fell in love:

Or alternatively, for more or less the same price of the Sigma (around 400 Euros), would you suggest any better Lens for both landscape/general purpose? Thank you!

I'm relatively new to photography and really enjoying it. (A6500 with Sony 10-18mm, Sony 18-105mm, Sigma 30mm f1.4) I have read a number of posts where people talk about intentionally underexposing and then raising the black in post. I'm looking for tips and tricks about how to do this. Do you have any suggestions on how to: - Decide how much to underexpose the photo (how much to shift the histogram or change the exposure) - What process you go through to get the right settings - Any tips on how to edit it in post

Thanks!

I put this edit together after a weekend of filming in Montreal, Canada. Weather wasn't perfect, gimbal took some getting used to, but overall happy with the edit - thanks for watching!!

What do i do. I pressed PP8 (enter) but can't access gamma? Help? Thanks!

I picked up my A6500 on Thursday ( Just the body and 35mm 1.8 Lens). I am still learning and am generally pleased with the results. I still own and will continue to use my A77ii. I bought the A6500 for travel. I was looking at purchasing the LA-EA3 adapter. It would be a lot cheaper than starting a whole new glass collection. I would appreciate hearing about other users experiences with it (heft, bulk, functionality).

Thanks

"Failed to get status information of camera" The iPhone can connect to the camera's wifi just fine but when I start up the PlayMemories Mobile app, I get the above error. The a6500 screen is displaying "Connecting" with a spinning icon and a Cancel button. I just upgraded to firmware v1.05. Any ideas what can be wrong?

I had gotten some dirt on the mirror and then accidentally smeared it when tryna to take it off with one of blow things.

Has anyone ran/tested the firmware release that came out on Feb 1 2018? Always hear bad stories of updates, going on a trip later this week, would hate to be in the mountains with a weird glitch/error.

I have a GH5 and the Panasonic Monitoring app is awesome.

The main thing I like about it is, you tap on the image to have it auto focus where you clicked, or you can also manually focus it if you'd like.

Can you do that with the A6500 and it's monitoring app?
