Brandon: “I just released a new film, “Balinese”, shot on A7s, 100% handheld.  This is the result of a month of living and filming on the island, immersing myself in Balinese culture.  I’m continually amazed by the flexibility of this camera in difficult environments.  Hope you enjoy! https://vimeo.com/136405903“

New A7rII firmware update fixes overheating issue. Watch the test!

Share


The video on top proves that overheating issues is now gone thanks to the new 3.0 A7rII firmware. The video has been shot for 2:51 hours(!) in super 35, 24p 100mbps mode. Jonathan writes:

As I’m posting I’m still recording and I’m at 2 hours and 51 minutes. I’m going to stop. Just to be clear. The recording still stop at 29:50 each time. I just pressed record immediately after it stopped. Overheating would normally occur right after the first recording.

The new firmware also improved the chromatic aberration correction on the Sony A7rII and A7sII camera.

Sony A7x cameras used to follow Justin Bieber, Pitbull cover and the Struts.

Christoph sent me this:
“Justin Biebers music video “I’ll show you” was shot with a Sony A7 series camera.
Even if I’m not the biggest Justin Bieber fan… as the video was filmed in Iceland there are some beautiful landscape shots.

And Zeiss Artisan Greg Waterman is on a full US tour with the Struts, shooting the music video for “Kiss This” with a Sony a7S2 and the Zeiss Batis lenses. They’re in NYC next week at Seth Meyers, and they’re the opening band for Motley Crüe’s last concert ever, on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles.

Greg Waterman also shot the album cover of the Grammy nominatied Pitbull group. The cover image has been shot on the A7R and Otus 55 (Source: Instagram).
