DPC Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Is there any reason not to use M (stills) mode for video? I'm getting sick of having to quit movie mode to do a custom white balance. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I use it on the a7sii - saw a tip on YouTube when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellure Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I always keep my A7R2 in M for recording video. It's especially useful for shooting in bright sunlight because the horrible 'feature' where the viewfinder brightness dims when recording 4K video only kicks in in M mode after you start recording, so you can frame a shot before losing visibility. In movie mode it pre-dims the viewfinder even before you hit record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddoman Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Have you checked if you can do a custom WB in the custom presets 1 or 2? I have an A6300 but should be the same on A7R2. I've never tried doing it with custom WB before. I set SS, aperture and picture profile in the custom presets for fast access to my video settings. I use the regular M mode for photos.
