Hello everyone!
Two weeks ago I bought a Sony a5100 with 16-50 lenses (Model SELP1650), but when I started filming I noticed shadows around the image.
I researched forums about the problem, and saw that it could be an effect called 'vignette'.
I shoot with the setting 1/80 F5.6 and ISO around 400 to 600 (with 3 lamps of 60w in a room of 3 meters by 3 meters)
and I was recommended to set the camera to 1/60 F11 and a higher ISO (around 2000)
I put this setting, but with the ISO increased, the image is very saturated.
Is there any other solution to remove these shadows?
The camera is very good, and the focus is fast, but this problem with "shadows" (or "vignettes") is putting an end to my filming.

I think with this lens (16-50), your options are to correct in post processing or close down (e.g. to f11 as you suggested).
It's a kinda "pancake" lens so vignetting is an issue...
Sony calls the vignette "shading." Check in the MENU for your "Lens Comp." settings. If "Shading Comp." is set to "Off", setting it to "Auto" should help.

I saw some reviews on youtube. Some users with the same lens as my camera. None of the footage had a "vignette".
Is it a defect in my lens?

I don't think it's your lens specifically, although I guess there's a small chance for that too...
Maybe the pictures you saw were already processed to remove vignetting.
