A7iii Must Have Accessories: • MUST-HAVE Sony A7iii A...
Today I’m going to share with you how I set up my Sony A7iii to make shooting video easier. A lot of people buy a nice camera and then just use it with the default settings, and I think they are really missing out.
I watched a ton of other UA-cam videos and tried different settings that other creators use and I picked bits and pieces of what worked out best for me.
The #Sony #A7iii shoots amazing 4K video but the menu system is a bit confusing.
I went ahead and set the camera up so that I almost never have to go into the menu settings at all.
It’s now so much easier to use and shooting video with it is a lot easier.

Where to begin with the compliments here? Thank you for your economy of words, your extremely high quality visual presentation, your real-world, practical examples, your lack of background music, and the thorough thinking you share with us to explain your decisions. Looking forward to watching more of your videos on this amazing camera I just purchased.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏 Congrats on your new a7iii
Wow, that is such a powerful camera
Everything I needed! Thank you so much!❤
So glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
One great setting, if you like single focus mode in video (which the a7iii doesn't support) is to set one of your buttons to AF/MF Control Hold. Then you just shoot in manual focus, hold down your custom button until the AF locks on, then let go and you're back in manual so your focus won't change
Ooooooo, I like that a lot. Thanks Chris!
Best and detailed video ever for video settings🤩
So glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thanks gonna rewatch this when I have my camera and try some of these out.
Hope it’s helpful
Very clear presentation
Glad you liked it Thanks for being part of the channel!
Good info. The EVF sensor can be easily switched off by pulling the screen away slightly. I typically pull the top of the screen away just a tiny bit to make sure the sensor doesn't cause any problems.
You explained it in a so easy way. You can become a good teacher bro
Found thid video today, years after you made it, but I'm glad. Its great! Thansk. Subscribed :)
So glad it was helpful! Welcome to the channel!
That extra zoom is a great lesson!
I think this is the best video settings tutorial video for the A7iii I have watched.
So glad it was helpful Armando!
I cannot explain how much helpful you have been...
I was very confused... But you have made it a lot easier for me now... Love from India
imma watch this later, but the first 2 minutes when I saw how you explain it step by step I got so happy, this is my first time i buy a camera and i bought ofc sony a7 iii and these first days i got lost, so thank you
Bought this a7III in November 2020 and I haven't shoot a single clip yet as I'm trying to figure out Sony menu and settings. My main camera is D850 and it is alot simple and easier to use for both photo and video. Your tips will be definitely helpful for me. Thank you so much.
The absolute best tutorial for A7iii video mode. Hands down!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for being part of the channel 🙏
I am very new to Sony A7iii, my first Sony camera ever. And ur tutorial has really help me understand a lot .. Thank you so much
I have watched videos from you before, but only now I see and appreciate the excellent quality and high density of information contained. Many many thanks, your videos are really helpful and very well presented. Regards Bert
Thank you so much Bert - I appreciate the kind words and support!
Just ordered my Sony A7III with a Sigma Art 24-70 lens. This will be a nice addition to my Canon M50.
This is a great tutorial and will come in handy when recording my own videos. There are far too many settings with this camera.
This was a great tool. Even if years old. Thank you.
So glad it was helpful!
I bought an a73 recently and this video helped me a lot .
Thank you so much.....
CONGRATS on the A73!!! Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much! Do you make & sell any content or do video coaching?
Thanks man! Really appreciate it!
Great and informative video! I've owned my A7III for over a year now and had never taken the time to learn about all of these features and shortcuts! Keep making these awesome videos!
Super glad it was useful Ben and welcome to the channel if this is your first time 👊
Appreciate the kind words.
I just bought this camera and this is the clearest, no nonsense, tutorial i have seen, thank you so much. If possible would you be able to do a video on the video frame rate settings, 24P 100M etc. I am still so confused and never sure what to use. Thanks again.
Congrats Damien! I will do one, but in the meanwhile, watch this one: ua-cam.com/video/RDs-Zzb0pmE/v-deo.html it's for a different camera, but the concepts are identical.
This is so amazing. Thanks a lot😊

This is Brilliant THANK YOU! My a73 has arrived at home right now, when I get there I have 25mins before going to a shoot and this is so helpful and easy to follow :) new subby here.

Thank you! Super useful
Awsome video. Just purchased my a7iii to go with my 6600 and zv-1. Subscribed.
Your tutorial is so incredibly helpful. It answered at least 10 questions I had regarding settings for my UA-cam studio setup. Thank you!

Glad I was able to help - thank you for being part of the channel!
Thank you a lot, great brief to get ready to work 5+
Awesome man, I've decided that my next Camera is going to be the Sony A7III and use your custom settings. I currently use the Canon M50, but need something with way better low-light capabilities.
So glad it was helpful! These worked really well for me. Let me know if you have any questions. Check this out too: ua-cam.com/video/7MXDjkDmBQQ/v-deo.html
I just sold my m50 and bought a a7iii huge difference
@@sapphirefilmworks5671 I know right, It's like night and day and I still use the A7iii to this day. I'd love to try out the new A7iv but man is it costly!
@@DavidWinstead yeah I looked at the a7iv and the a7siii and wanted them also but both of them are way more than the a7iii and the a7iii was already top of my budget lol

Congrats!
A very informative video, nice presentation. I love your audio level .which is clear. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving feedback 🙏🏻
I’m glad the video was informative
Hi, when you talk about switching the from monitor to evf and saving settings you can do it. If you go to movie mode and change all the setting to how you want them ( like you do in this video) and then save them to memory 1 or 2. Then when you switch back to manual on the dial for taking photos then nothing would have changed but when you want video settings change dial to ‘1’ or ‘2’ and recall settings and it brings back video settings. I use 1 for normal video and 2 for slow mo
Brilliant!!! Thanks Marc!
Hi Marc, I tried saving to Mem 2, but this particular setting (Finder/Monitor) seems to be independent of the memory registered settings. In fact, Finder/Monitor doesn't appear as a setting that is registered when you scroll through the saved settings. This is unfortunate.
Great Video! Thanks so much
Thanks bro. watching in 2021
brother very nice video settings for a7iii thanks
Glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏
amazing man ... u nailed it .....👌👌👌
Glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏
Great video! Thank you so much for your time. I only have one question though... How did you access the 'functions menu' (16:10) ??? I can't figure out how to access / update that part :/
genius video, thanks
Great tutorial! Thanks for making this!
This was an incredibly helpful video. I love how you explain why you set each thing the way you do. Thank you

Thanks Dude, you're great! I've learned some important thinks.
Glad I could help. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Alright, so of all the "how to setup" videos out there, this one is the most useful, the most "making sense" and crystal clear explained one.
Dude, I simply love it. Keep up the great work !!!
So glad I could help. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thank you. Very good. I would love to recommend a slower pace when moving within the body to try to follow. Great job
Glad this was helpful! There was a lot to talk about so I figured people would just pause, make the change, pause, make the change. You can hit the left arrow on the keyboard to go back 10 seconds.
I appreciate the feedback about the timing 🙏
Tech Gear Talk lol that exactly what I did. Thanks. Looking forward to more vid
🙏🏻

thanks bro. this detailed overview is incredibly helpful. our settings in a few functions are a little different but your ideas are very valuable and save shed loads (sic) of time! keep up the great work 🙂
Thanks! Now I just need to mess around with these settings so I can maybe remember them for the wedding I need to shoot lol
Such a good tutorial!
Thank you so much
My Sony A7iii doesn't give me 24p 100M. do you have any idea why? I only have 24p 50M. Do I need to change another setting?
I have the same problem 🥹 did you found the reason?
Hey for some reason I do not have 30p options for 4k 😅
Its your memory chip>Make sure that your memory supports that.
Wauw this is na amazing video almost every setting im gonna use. Great tempo in the video too, thanks
thanks brother
Thanks again for this invaluable tutorial, and - the index. I refer to this often when out in the field.
What a fantastic tutorial!! Thank you so much for all this invaluable info 🙂
So glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Great tutorial.. the menu really does seem a bit overwhelming like you said, but it's probably like anything else, once you get used to it you're good to go 👍🏻👍🏻
Exactly. It’s a lot in the beginning but it’s not insurmountable. And it’s to some degree, a byproduct of extensive functionality.
Beautiful
It really help
Am a7iii newbie
So glad it was helpful! Welcome to the channel!
The a7 III truly have some impressive CPU.
You totally deserve more views!! Great video and great content. Nice speed and explanatory, thank you.

Great video clear explanation about Sony A7iii video settings.. I have a question? If we shoot in AVCHD mode is there any possibility to send the videos from sony A7iii to smartphone.. if yes pls do let me know....
Thanks...
How do you delete and add new functions? I wasn't sure how to do this and wasn't covered in the video
awesome, video everything in detail since my Camera doesn't have an English option I've set everything.
Thank you for sharing all your information. It helped me a lot to understand how to control function . I tried to follow you and will try it today :)
Super glad it was useful. Hope it was helpful in setting up your a7iii
My camera came in yesterday so this is great start to setup my video settings/buttons. Thank you! One thing I was confused is you didn't really explain how you are removing and adding functions to the functions (Fn) menu while in movie mode. Thanks
CONGRATS Emil! Ok, go to MENU->CAMERA 2->PAGE 8->Function Menu Set.
There you will see 2 pages of 6 items each (representing the 2 rows of options).
@@TechGearTalk thank you so much!
