Sony A9 Overview Tutorial - Full Camera Training Video

This is damn good! I like the file quality of these A cameras but the menus and settings look intimidating! Thank you soooo much for breaking this down. I might pick up 1 or 2 for wedding work!!

awesome video THANKS!!!

hai michael just curious whats the point of having option for aps-c and super 35? for sure we want to set it off all the time and having the best quality from the full frame right?

Thank you for this. Really Helped me get up and going.

Thx a lot. Also useful for A7 III User. ;-)

Thanks coming from Canon is a big jump and u helped a lot

Hi ! I can't the AF Illuminator of Sony flash hvl-60M works in my Sony A9. Could you help me, please ??? Thanx !!!

Hello Michael !! 3 months ago I bought my A9 with the 24-70 f2.8 GM and here comes the problem: It continually leaves me abandoned in the middle of work because it stops focusing and on the screen it appears: F - -. I got tired of taking it out and putting it back on but I not only lose important moments of registering but I run the risk of it falling to the ground. I also use the Sony 70-200 2.8 GM and the Sony Zeiss 16-35 f / 4 and no problem with them. I hope you help me please. God save you!

...great video mate...best training video i have seen on the Sony a9...

Nice, juist bought one

Incredible video.

Michael … You are a LEGEND , thank you so much for making that OUSTANDING Video for us … God Bless You always for your Kindness and Sharing with others you Expertise … im a great follower or Yours

Michael, you do an outstanding job. Your video tutorials gets us viewers up to speed so much faster on how to set and operate the A9. I am a Canon user and made the switch to the A9, so I have a very good understanding of Canon's settings, but with that said, your video cuts down the amount of time I needed to gain the needed knowledge on all of the menu settings and functions. This is the second tutorial that I've watched of yours (the Canon 7DMK2 was the first). I'm blown away at how well your classes are put together. You spend a lot of time on these, and I for one appreciate it. I purchased the 7DMK2 video a few years ago and today I am purchasing the A9 video as well. Thanks so much for all of the work you put into these videos. Keep up the great work, we're all watching!!
Kind Regards~ Rick

the best of the all tutorials!

Just got my a9, this video was a huge help. Thanks. You did go over how to use or program the 1, 2, 3 mode dial

Lots of great information. Thanks.
Re bumping up ISO, wouldn't it be better to say that this increases signal amplification?

Thank you so much for your tutorial, Michael.

while in manual mode you can half press shutter button then hold AEL button to activate eye detection! :)

I appreciate just how much work goes into a video like this, so thank you! As I’ve just bought my A9, the first thing I did was to upgrade the firmware to 5.0. The menu system is very different.... will you be doing a new one of these for the version 5.0?

Brilliant. I never realised how little I knew about this amazing camera.

Best A9 tutorial and well detailed.. by anyone!

if you could only have one camera for birds in flight would you have the D500 with 200-500 or this camera with the new sony 200-600? I have the D500 and considering switching if the A9 is dramatically better

great video Michael, I'm new to sony when I'm recording with my canon i see the videos when i put in my SD card, when i record on the Sony i can't find them, do you have a video on this

Please tell Michael how many changes are involved with this tutorial since the upgrade recently .

This tutorial is amazing. I ' ve been a Canon shooter for 15 years who just bought a new A9 and your detailed explanation is making my learning curve much easier than reading the huge manual. Thanks

Your tutorial is one of the best! Others gets my confused. Yours however, actually make sense. Thank you!

Just got the A9II. You're a LIFE SAVER! Thanks!

You do a good job of explaining camera functions. I wonder how many people are learning these things on an A9, though... not the sort of video I was expecting when I clicked through.

How well will this tutorial cover what I need to know for the A9II, or will there be one coming out for it? 
I am so impressed by your style of teaching. Thank you, for all of your hard work!

As always, TOP NOTCH. Does anyone know it there exist any videos on how to set up the A9II?
Desperate to find something, from someone that has experience.

Thanks for the tutorial, it helped immensely!

Awesome Work ✌️

I just purchased the A9 as and a 200-600 Sony I have also the 24 to 70 2.8 this video was very good I give you a 10+ I'm a retired Navy Photographer from 1971 to 75 I was honored to be on the USS TICONDEROGA the recovery ship for Apollo 16-17 the last moon missions. I've always shot Canon but since I now have 3 Sony I'm Sonified.

Excellent Training Video !!!

This is awesome! I've gone from the Sony A55 to the A77 and now to the A9! This is very helpful on some of the awesome features!

I traded in all of Nikon gear in exchange for all new Sony and this video was great! I watched the whole thing while taking notes.

can you tap focus with the phone app?

Thank u😊

Hey Michael, I appreciate this is an old video, however, could you please help me with a frustrating aspect I am having with video please on my A9

I can't seem to find the best settings to use for dogs running at me whilst in video. The focus is never that great on the face.

If it were you, what would the exact settings be that you would use? I use the sony 135 GM for video as it has outstanding AF performance.

I am really struggling to nail focus on fast moving subjects in video though, even running across the scene I am struggling.

I will get the A7c as it has eye af in video which I assume will be a great help for me as a second body.

Thank you

This has been an absolute gem of an introduction into the A 9. This is my first DSLR and your tutorial has helped me navigate through the basic functions so that I am now able to go out into the field and practise with confidence. Well done for a very clear and concise tutorial. Your accessory recommendations are also very helpful.

Does it shoot slow mo

I have an A9ii. I learned a lot from this video!! Thank you!!!

I have had this camera for a couple of years and never got the quality I expected. It was hit and miss. Watched this video and saw an immediate improvement because i understood the camera. THANK YOU

Thanks!

Actually registering faces allows you to set focus priority on the registered faces. If you are shooting a birthday party then register the birthday boy/girl and parents so when any of them is in the shot it will focus on them instead of someone not as important to the party.

Very useful Michael, thank you!

Chapters would be great still a 10/10

Even using a tripod and remote, I cannot get a tack sharp picture with my a9 (Tamron 70-180 f2.8 or Sony 35 mm f1.8 at any zoom or fstop) anybody have any suggestions? {exposure seems fine, of course I hit and miss depending on the scene}
