https://community.sony.rs/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/sony-a7iv-video-aperture-settings/m-p/3967924#M11784 <P>HI, I am currently getting to grips with the setting for video on my Sony A7iv.</P><P>I notice I can get an aperture setting of F51. Is this of any use when trying to reduce over exposure? Apart from affecting the depth of field is there anything else I should be aware of when using what appears to me to be a very high aperture settings. Up to recently I only took stills and cannot find anything about the effect of using an aperture so high for video. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.</P> Tue, 04 Feb 2025 17:04:59 GMT Bonxie 2025-02-04T17:04:59Z https://community.sony.rs/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/sony-a7iv-video-aperture-settings/m-p/3967924#M11784 <P>HI, I am currently getting to grips with the setting for video on my Sony A7iv.</P><P>I notice I can get an aperture setting of F51.
