Hey guys, back again and today talking about the FX3 and the major firmware update this thing just got. I have it rigged up for something, but you can tell this is my FX3 here and pretty much how I like to walk around with it. This 24 to 105 F4 from Sony, G-Lens. Don't sleep on that lens if you're a videographer by the way. It's a separate subject, but that's a pretty darn good lens. Especially for video. Don't use it so much for photos. So, Synnii mode, the way it works is you basically, when you're in that mode, you shoot in either 800 ISO or 12,800 ISO. There's no other ISOs, just those two. You'll see when you, like for me on the back of my FX3, I use this scroll wheel here and I use this for adjusting my ISO previously. Well, when you, the way I've set it up now, and I spend that it changes the exposure index. So, on my screen, it looks like the exposure is changing, but nothing's really happening. It's just a tool to help you open or close your iris. It's a cinema camera now. We call it an iris, not an aperture. Open or close your iris or add or take away light to your, your scene to help you expose better, but it doesn't actually change anything. If you were in the low base at 800, it doesn't change when you, you change your exposure index. That's what the EI and Synnii stands for. So, I think that's going to be confusing for a lot of people who've never used this kind of camera before and then expose your index. But you don't have to use it. You can update and stay in the, the flexible, I think it's flexible ISO. There's another mode in there. But when you use this, just wanted to make a quick video to tell you, you're either in 800 or 12,800. There's no in between. There's nothing else. And when you change that, it's going to look like the ISO is changing, but your exposure index is changing, which is basically, think of it kind of like a lot on the, on the screen that's giving you the sense that you're over or under exposed. So then you adjust all the rest of the things, whether that be turning a light down or opening or closing your aperture. To try and help you with exposure, it's a little counterintuitive from what you normally do. So like, if you think about it, when you raise your exposure index, you're going to seem like you're overexposed, but you're not. So then when you lower things, you're going to end up being under exposed more than you were when you turn it up. If that makes any sense there. Allister Chapman has a video about the FX9 and the FX6 where he really dives deep into this and explains exposure index and how it works. For me, I don't really mess with the exposure index all that much. I just leave it in 800 and go to 12,800 if I need it. And then I can add or take away ND as needed. So for example, if I was indoors and 800 wasn't quite bright enough, but 12,800 was way too much. You're just slapping ND on and use 12,800. For me, that's the way I've always used my FX6 and I'm glad with the FX3 that I'm able to do that now because what was happening sometimes with my FX3, I would just bump that ISO up a little bit and pretty quickly. No, it starts happening on these FX3 or the A7S3. When you go over 640, then you go 800 12,000, 1600, whatever. Once you get up there over about 1630, 200,000, you're just going to get a little bit of exposure. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to start introducing a lot of noise because I never have an issue with noise in any of my images on the FX6. These for me, it's going to keep me out of those ISOs between 800 and 12,800 that are problematic. Because sometimes I just like, I'm not going to get an ND. I'll just bump the ISO a little bit. It won't be that noisy. It wouldn't be that noisy. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So I'm going to do that. So on the sony file pro and then there's a liter folder. You just copy and paste them in there, and then you import them right in through the menu system. It's pretty simple. Well, and I'll tell you, and it's right there at the beginning, when you go to update it, make sure you you remember your settings. Like if you've customized I customized a lot of the buttons. How they're laid out on my camera, and if you don't don't don't remember how they are. There's no way you can save the settings, then reload them like you can with the other ones because the if they're saved, it says it right on the beginning there, but I believe it's something to the effect of if they're saved on the 1.1 or 1.01, whatever the previous firmware was, if it's saved in that, it won't read them with the new firmware. You're going to just have to have your settings and remember them and reset everything up. But it's worth it. I think it's worth it. This is a cool update. I kind of wish it had got shutter angle. That's probably my biggest one. I'm getting more comfortable with using the histogram. I prefer a waveform to expose with, but the histogram I'm getting more comfortable with it on here. But shutter angle would have been the nice one. So when you switch frame rates, it just automatically switches with you. But hey, I'll take what I can get for this camera. I make videos every now and then about Sony cameras, black magic cameras, really any kind of cameras, microphones, gear like that. And you know, most of the time, all this stuff I've purchased with my own money and I just give you my honest opinion. I'm not like a sponsored YouTuber that I use this stuff for real and real life. And I just want to share my experiences with you guys. The only way you can help me out is just by subscribing and liking this video, getting it out there more. Thanks for watching. We'll see you in the next one. Bye.
