10 Quick Tips to Shoot Better with Sony Mirrorless Cameras

Want cinematic results with your Sony mirrorless? Follow these pro tips:

  1. Shoot in Manual Mode (M) – control shutter, aperture, and ISO for consistency.
  2. Use 180° Shutter Rule – 1/50 for 24fps, 1/125 for 60fps for natural motion blur.
  3. Use Picture Profiles – S-Log3 (PP8) for grading; HLG (PP10) for quicker edits.
  4. ND Filters Are a Must – Use them outdoors to keep aperture wide and avoid overexposure.
  5. Enable Focus Peaking – Helps nail manual focus, especially in low light.
  6. Use Zebra Patterns – Set at 95% to protect highlights and expose skin tones correctly.
  7. Use External Audio – A good mic dramatically improves your video quality.
  8. Shoot in 10-bit 4:2:2 – If available, it’s better for color correction.
  9. Apply Monitoring LUTs – Helps visualize the final look while shooting.
  10. Practice Often – Experience builds instinct for light, focus, and settings

🌙 Tips & Tricks for Better Night-Time Shoots with Sony Mirrorless Cameras

Shooting at night can be magical — if done right. Here’s how to get sharp, cinematic results in low light:

  1. Use Fast Lenses (f/1.4 – f/2.8) – More light = cleaner image.
  2. Boost ISO Smartly – Sony handles ISO well. Go up to ISO 3200–6400 with minimal noise. Use Dual Native ISO if available.
  3. Shoot in Manual Mode – Set shutter to 1/50 (for 24fps) and adjust ISO/aperture accordingly.
  4. Use Picture Profile like S-Log3 – Slightly overexpose to protect shadow details.
  5. Add Soft Ambient Light – Use LED lights or street lights to create mood and depth.
  6. Use Manual Focus with Peaking – Autofocus may hunt in the dark.
  7. Stabilize Your Shot – Use tripods or gimbals to avoid shake.
  8. Shoot in 10-bit for Grading Flexibility
  9. Use ND OFF and turn off Auto Settings
  10. Scout the Location Early – Know your light sources.
