Since its launch last year, has the Sony A7s camera shown what would come with stratospheric sensitivity?Reach a maximum ISO of more than 400,000? And extremely clear image quality Many photographers, of course, almost immediately saw the incredible possibilities of photos with This level of sensitivity Photos in the dark have really become a possibility and not just a puzzle for amateur and professional photographers.
However, not only were photographers excited about the various options offered by the Sony A7 camera, both in terms of photography and shooting. Many filmmakers around the world took an interest in image quality by testing the various recording options of this camera (from basic to 4K) that promised to revolutionize the lives of image lovers.
- As of 2014.
- Tests were published on YouTube and Vimeo with Sony A7 recording mode.
- Among many of what has been said to be of most interested in the Sony A7s camera is the fact that it can record in Full HD and also in 4K uses all the high-sensitivity potential and other qualities of the sensors.
- However.
- The option to shoot in 4K can only be done using an external player connected to HDMI.
- Which can generate some discontent among professionals in the field.
- However.
- Recordings with lower resolutions can be recorded internally on the camera itself and enjoy all that the Sony A7 camera can offer in terms of sensitivity and quality of the recorded images.
Last year, almost immediately after the official release of the Sony A7, several filmmakers began testing the chances of shooting in low light using the camera’s high sensitivity. Of all the tests, the most interesting was the one that showed the camera’s ability to shoot only with moonlight as the main source of light. While this is just a test and the videos don’t have a plot, we saw some impressive image qualities, despite the high ISO sensitivity. And now we can see how this technological novelty can really be used creatively with a new short film recently released on Vimeo.
You can see this brief at the end of the article and evaluate the end result for yourself. A lot of reviews have already been done and obviously what generated the most feedback was the image quality even in low light. When analyzing only the technical part of the film, some people found that the final result of the images did not meet expectations in terms of sensitivity and depth of field. Many probably commented that the images had noise and the quality was a bit lower than they would expect.
However, given the creative aspect of the film, it can be said that the result was at least interesting, it is a sci-fi thriller that really enhances the context of the film, obviously the moon was full and lit up much of the sky for this film to work, but we can still see some quality in the images despite some noises mainly during sky filming , which left the film at least different, if not distorted, and may have worked because of the story involved. The whole film consists of a single scene that unfolds between three characters, which greatly facilitates the work of the cinematographer, anyway, you can see a little the difficulties and ease of making a movie with the Sony A7s camera and its incredible ISO So the almost ethereal air that low light images gave the short film worked for the whole work , at least in my opinion.
