Watch Part 2: • Sony FX30 Custom Butto...
Here is how to setup your Sony FX30 menus to film weddings or other events FAST! Meaning: quick setup times, near-instantaneous changing of frame rates and resolution, & rapid dialing in of settings like white balance, aperture, and ISO.
This will be a two-part series because I don't want to just tell you what settings I use; I also want to tell you why I chose them. This video dives deep into the menus and tells you how to access what you need and ignore what you don't.
Part two will show you how to set up the camera's custom menu, buttons, function menu, and mode dial, which will keep you from essentially NEVER needing to dive into the menus ever again! You'll be able to change all your settings with one or two button presses, which is ideal for fast filmmaking.

After spending many days scrolling through countless videos trying to learn the basics to kick off my understanding of how to use my new sonyfx30 and sony A74 to film my art practice in studio, I am so bloody confuzzled! (complete novice here) Then I find this video of yours Matt at an ungodly hour of night, right when I think all is lost and I am daft! THANKYOU your humour and light and cheesy, breezy way of explaining kept me going AND made sense to my nuerospicy brain. Now I need to find more of your videos on these cameras ASAP!
such an amazing video! Best one for figuring out the menu setting from anyone on UA-cam. Great job Matt!
The best FX30 setup video i’ve seen yet, you’re the man bro…thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you Matt. Your pace and detailed explanations helped me understand this camera a lot better.
Matt, such a thorough tutorial! Thank you! I couldn't have gone through all these menu options alone!
What a wonderful tutorial on the FX-30! Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching!
Thank you so much. Just *knowing* what all these menu items actually are is huge, even if you offered no recommended settings. PLEASE do more FX30 videos!
you helped me a lot, thank you!🥳
Appreciate this video. I followed up on your settings for my Sony a7siii and I knew I could come around for my fx30 settings again here. Thank you.
Well done, Matt! Thanks again for another great video.
Thank you for making this video. I just received my FX 30 and I’ve been shooting Nikon since 2011. I have a lot to figure out. I will be watching all your videos. #subscribed ✌️😎
what would I have done without this video? Thanks a ton Matt. Heading to video part 2.
Subbed for sure! Big help, and yes, your style of teaching is top notch! 🙏
Amazing thanks Matt I just got my FX30 and I love it. This video has really helped me to get it set up.👍
Hi, Matt! I hope your family is going well. I just got the FX 30 and looked you up as I knew you could help me, haha! Have a great day!
Such a helpful video, thank you!
This was awesome man. Thanks.
Great video Matt, Thanks!
Thank you man! This was great!
Matt, thanks for such a good camera tutorial settings.
Wow such an amazing help. Thank you and God bless
Matt, you're the best love your channel
Great video, thank you.
great video, thank you so much!
Amazing man !
Matt coming in clutch, knowing Santa gave me an Fx30 for Xmas!
Haha awesome!
Right there with ya! Santa was good to me too this year.
Same! And by Santa I mean me 😂
Add me to the list…woohoooo.
Dude, THANK YOU!
Super helpful !
Thank you very much, very informative video lesson, I am very grateful to you, I wish you success you professional.
Just bought this camera 2 days ago. Perfect timing
thank you so much for this video
Thank you, Matt! You helping me a lot get to know my new baby 😇
Great Video Matt, just setup my new FX30. And yes "HDMI Display ON" into a Atomos Shogun is something you only do once :)
Thanks!!
Great job
i never comment on videos but this was incredible. thank u
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you Matt -- for clarifying the Zoom speed settings! Nothing that's understandable in the PDF/manual identifying what 1 vs. 2 is much less "standby" vs. "recording." I shoulda knowed...
Down the MJ rabbit hole... lots of direct clarity and I'm sure I will refer to a lot of your suggestions until I get a solid grip on all the settings. Thank you for these vids
Sir, the way you teach is phenomenal. Just got my FX-30 and you've taught me so much in so little time. Best teacher on UA-cam. Thank you.
lifesaver thanks
Nice video always Matt. Just a quick question, some videos that I recorded are in portrait mode but I didn't recorded in vertical. Where do I find it in the settings, just wanted to turn that off.
Hi Matt I have a Sigma 24-70 on my fx30. What should I set my focal length to on Image stabilisation? Would It be better to just leave it on auto? 13:00
exellent!
Thanks!!!!
hi there...If I used an external HDMI monitor with this fx30 (not a recorder) will BOTH the external monitor and the camera's LCD stay on active -showing video on both screens WHILE recording?
my a6400's LCD cut out the video signal but leaves screen info on a black screen WHEN recording...both stay on when not recording...and finally...for video only..is the stabilization worth upgrading? thanks
Watching your video got me excited about getting the FX30! It finally came in yesterday but it seem like the firmware it came with only let’s me shoot in 23.98, 29.97, 59.94 and 119.88 😅 I shoot with an A7iv and now I’m worried that I won’t be able to sync a multi cam since their frame rate will be different 🤦🏻♂️ now I think I need to return it cause my frame rates won’t match and drift is a possibility. What are your thoughts? Would appreciate your input! Thanks! Keep up the great work. Love your content.
Hi - if i conect the fx30 to a gimbel (ZHIYUN Crane 2 ) Is it possible to get power from the gimbel?
Hey Matt! Thanks for the video! I am pretty much looking at getting the FX30 with a Sony E 16-55mm 2.8 G. Do you think that that would be a good combination? It would obviously then be a FF equivalent 24 to 83mm. Any thoughts? I can get a used 16-55 for $7-800, so I thought it might be a good budget wedding filmmaking with the body being future proofed for several years with the 4:2:2 10bit and S-log 3 (it would be a great b cam in the future)
Great choice!
Hi Matt, thanks for your video. There is something that annoying me, I'm shooting with memory 1-2… but in this mod I can't set my WB. Do you know how to deal with it ? Thank you
Thanks for the video. Quick question I just used my FX30 for the first time and am running into problems playing and editing the 10 bit 4:2:2. I was using power director which says it isnt supported and davinci resolve free doesnt support either. Plus I can only play videos in VLC. Any recommnedations for editing software to use? My rig is more than powerful enough to handle just think I have the wrong software.
Matt, do you if your settings work with the newest update (3.0) Thanks
For the steady shot adjust setting. If I’m using a tamron 17-70 mm what would I do with the focal length as it varies if you zoom. Should i just leave it on auto or set it at its lowest mm (17mm)?
Can you mix havc hs 4k 24 fps clips and havc s 4k 30 fps clips in the same timeline , do you notice the video quality difference ?
the embed lut doesnt bake the footage in. is there another way to do this?
13:11 How I find out that my lense have electronic connection to my Sony FX30? I use Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens:) So should I use auto, or set it manually? Thanks a lot! Absolutely great video, thanks a lot MATT:)
Hey Matt! I followed the instructions for the settings but everytime I try to import the footage on my computer it is corrupted. Even just the preview on Quicktime doesn't work. Preview on the camera's good. I tried it both on my Macbook and Imac but same result. Thanks in advance!
Great video! Just received my FX30 and am debating between keeping it and switching it for the A7IV. Want to use it for making UA-cam shorts of wildlife and birds. I bought 2 lenses. The Sony 90mm macro and the Sony 200-600mm. Heard so much about the A7IV overheating not sure what to do. Complete newbie. Thanks!
Keep the FX30!😁
@@lukemedia just started using it and image quality is amazing. Definitely keeping it! Thanks!
Should zebras be set at 94? Do you expose to skintones..just wondering If I should set Zebras closer to 70. I'm shooting slog 2 and 3
Mat. Do you have a similar video or downloadable video settings for the A 1 ? Thanks
Nope not yet sorry
Do u use ibis with a gimbal
I have my Sony 16-55 G lens which have quite a bit distortion. Will the Distortion setting On fixed the issue inside the footage, pls response, thank you
Hey man, Whoismatt 06 LUT won’t load onto the FX3. Do you know a work around?
Hello, tell me, please, when you switch between Mode, the camera creates some sounds, is this normal? like tr tr…..I'm asking for your help, Matt🙏🏻🤝
Matt, what lens are you using? I Sigma 18-50 f2.8 and many of the options you are setting are not available for that lens. Also, I don't have a proper screen for color grading and corrections so I would like to know what are the best settings for shooting video straight out from the Camera. Thank you very much for you generosity in sharing these tutorials with us.
I could be wrong but I think that "embed" just adds the lut file to the metadata but doesn't apply it to the footage (so it is easy to hand off footage and keep the intended look with the file). I think you have to use one of the PPLUT custom picture profiles to "bake-in" the lut.
Dropped in to the comments as soon as he mentioned that since it seemed incorrect. I don't think you're wrong here, it's just metadata. It would defeat the point to apply it baked in.
Think you’re right, thanks for catching that
Wonderful, concise and helpful tutorial. I just got an FX30 and, coming from Canon, the Sony menu, without your precious help, would be like reading hieroglyphs! Please help me on this matter: I have set XAVC HS 4K format and I cannot get 24 Frame Rate, but only 23.98. What can I do to get 24p? 😅
@@RenatoCalothe displayed frame rates were changed in a firmware update. They were always those rates but displayed as the rounded values. They changed it because they added a true 24fps mode so they needed more precision.
Matt, please i am getting mad.
I can‘t set 24 fps only 23,98, 119,98 ect….
Have you an idea?
Latest fw 2.0 is installed.
Greetings Marco
Do you recommend all manual for someone with no videography experience but is willing and patient enough to learn through trial and error? Or will it be too complicated for me to understand an all manual approach?
Hi! Is there only one Kelvin setting ? Now I have a GH5 which has 4 memories for Kelvin. Also, cand you change the Kelvin value during recording? Thank you!
There’s just one. You can change while recording
Hai sir Sony fx30 P4 & P11 colour settings
Hoi,I like your videos very much.
If you don't mind I am gonna ask you a question.I am living in Holland I put the camera in NTSC and my file format is on XAVC but I still get 23,98P or 29,97P so on.No 24 or 30 or 60 only of I put him on XAVS-I DCI-4K then I get also 24P next to 23,98 29,97 and so on.
Why is this you think?
What must I do to get 24P 30 or 60P on XAVC on NTSC?
Sorry for my broken English
Greetings from Holland
23.976 is what you want
Im on the latest firmware but dont have rounded numbers when choosing a framerate.
Thanks Matt, quick question ;-) I film on the A7siii looking for a second to replace my sony a7sii and a6500. Do you recommend the Fx30 or A7IV?
I would get the fx30 and save some $$
@@whoismatt thanks man!

I can set the movie rate 24; 30; and cannot find 60. What have I done wrong and how do I fix it? MENU → (Shooting) → [Image Quality] → [ Movie Settings] → [Rec Frame Rate] → desired setting; No 24 to be seen. Kean can you help me please.
Hai sir P11 colour settings
Serious question. I noticed you chose 24p in normal 4k. Why does my fx30 only allow me to choose 24p in DCI 4k? Whats up with that?
Hi mat I'm thinking of uploading how to camera videos where do I start
Pick a top and press record
@@whoismatt thank you so much
Why is my exposure Ctrl Type grayed out for me?
Hi! I’ve some problems using the FX30 to pictures in RAW. My lightroom doesn’t recognize the format.
Can anyone help me?

its came already a update in the adobe raw converter....i had the same problem , but now its working !
DO A VIDEO FOR THE PICTURE/PHOTO SETTINGS FX30
"Hello, friend, tell me why the continuous AF function is always turned off for me, even though I use both autofocus and manual focus, but I can't select it?"
Any idea why Sony refuses to bring the FX30 features to the FX3? Seems like self sabotage
No clue, I've asked them repeatedly!
Attention Ninja V Users: If you record with the REC 709 LUT (the default LUT from the FX30) and record via HDMI to a Ninja V it DOES BAKE IN the lut into the ninja v. So far I haven't found a workaround. So I leave the Setting in the FX30 at S-Log and activate a LUT in my Ninja. That way there ist no LUT embed in the Ninja.
The downside is, that now the FX30 Display shows only the flat image of S-Log. Any Ideas how to fix this?
Hey just apply the gamma display assist
Turns out if you update your fx30 from v2 to v3 firmware you loose the ability to change between PAL and NTSC, is just gone. Also it wont show the battery % unless you stick to Sony ones.
Could you please provide the proof, where image quality of 256 codec is "slightly better" than 264? I compared both and difference was only in size of the file.
Size of the file is exactly what it is. At the same file size, H265 has about twice better quality than H264. Depends on what type of shot it is, but on average two times better quality.
So a 1GB H264 video should be similar quality to a 500GB H265.
When it comes to FX30, 4K HS 100Mbps codec is about the same quality as 4K S at 200Mbps. Smaller file for the same quality and also smaller SD requirements. You don't need to use a V90 card as V60 will be fine. HS is a bit harder on your computer, so if you have a slow Mac or a really old PC it might be laggy. Most PCs and latest Macs should be fine though.
@@lukastemberger XAVC-HS 4K 24p 10bit 4:2:2 has bitrate 100Mbps, and XAVC-S 4K 24p 10bit 4:2:2 has the same bitrate 100Mbps. Where did you find twice better quality with the same bitrate, bro?
@@vvlad78 You said the difference is in file size. File size and bitrate refers to the same thing.
XAVC S is based on H264. XAVC HS is based on H265. As codecs, H265 will give you approximately twice the compression quality compared to H264. It's not a black and white situation though. For a static talking head video, HS will probably give you better quality than even S-I. Because S-I will have a locked bitrate and HS variable, which makes it more efficient at scenes with less movement. In a hectic shot or a rainy/snowy shot, S-I will give you better quality since there's more information HS has to figure out how to encode into the smaller bitrate.
At bitrates of 50, 100, 200+... You won't see a difference easily when just looking at the footage on screen. You'll see the difference when creating elaborate color grades, VFX, green screen, that sort of stuff. For UA-camrs, there's usually no reason to even go over 50Mbps when shooting.
Videos like the ones this guy made are mostly pointless. There's no one recommend setting for everyone. The whole point is to have all the options and to know what you're doing so you can make the most out of the camera you have.
@JoeyRKDP Hey, glad I could help. 24fps is considered "true cinema" framerate. UHD 4K is not a cinema format, it's technically a TV format. Instead, there's a DCI format (Digital Cinema Initiatives) which is a standardized cinema 4K resolution. That's why true 24fps is only available in the 4K DCI format and not in the "TV" 4K UHD.
@JoeyRKDP oh, this is a 3 month old video. The firmware update wasn't out yet...
You're actually right, it's weird. So, on the old firmware there was no option to film in true 24, only 23.976. And they just called it 24. Now that they added true 24, the camera is showing actual framerate with both 24 and 23.976 options whenever available.
It was a very weird decision that pros were calling out, and luckily they fixed it.
will this work for the sony fx3? thanks
Just a little note. It's been brought up before but you use the term 'filmmaking.' This is wrong terminology as you do not use film in making a video. Please use the right terms, you are making or recording a VIDEO and using memory cards in the camera. It's time to switch to the right language and not give the impression you are using 'film' when either shooting stills or recording a video.
