A very popular use for Sony mirrorless cameras is to use it for recording video. What are the settings that you need to know when recording video with a Sony mirrorless camera? In this video, join author Richard Harrington as he walks through how to record movie clips with a Sony mirrorless camera.
- Recording on your Sony camera is pretty straightforward.…In fact, you'll find a dedicated button right on back.…It's bright red.…Now, you may also see that button…on the top here or in another position,…but it looks like a traditional record button.…So just look for the button with the big red dot.…It's pretty easy to find.…Now, you can shoot movies in any mode if you want,…but I strongly suggest that you set…the dial here to movie mode.…This is going to give you better performance…and we discussed it earlier.…
Now, when you press this record mode,…it's going to use the settings…that were previously established.…If you need to, you can adjust these settings.…Let's go back into menu really quick.…And we'll go to the first page.…And what we're looking at there is the mode.…I prefer manual exposure, because this gives me…the best control over both shutter speed and aperture.…I would suggest avoiding shutter and aperture priority,…because you don't want either of these numbers to change.…Program mode is going to be okay,…
