Here is how I have my Sony a7S III menus setup for filming weddings and other events in the "Run & Gun" style of filmmaking. Meaning: quick setup times, near-instantaneous changing of frame rates and resolution, & rapid dialing in of settings like white balance, aperture, and ISO. And because the Sony FX3 has the same menu, this video applies to it as well!
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.

Hope this helps you film even faster with this camera!
Love ur video
Came here to say YES, picture profile video please! Specifically interested in S-Log3 vs S-Cinetone.
Great video Matt...but it did not set up this directory on the memory card...PRIVATE>SONY>SETTING 7SM3>CAMSET so I manually set up the folders on the memory card and copied the file to the appropriate location. When I went to load it on my Sony A7S3 with V2.0, it said "The file does not exist." Any thoughts?
@@mauibuilder1239 looking into this. I've heard from one other person that it wasn't working, but I'm not sure why yet.
@@whoismatt Just FYI on the Sony FX3 the path is PRIVATE\SONY\SETTING\FX3\CAMSET but it says "This file cannot be loaded" when trying to load WHOISMAT. Is the file only for A7S III?
Absolutely love this!!!! Dude you saved me so much time and I had been looking for this for a while. I’m glad I watched this the night before a wedding. I quickly dialed in the settings and saved me time.
you learn how to use the Sony well, but you also learn how to speak clearly and precisely with this video. Thanks a ton Matt. you are one awesome dude!
Good job, Matt! This is absolutely terrific (and necessary). It's like having a friend who's all about the camera to walk you through. I haven't looked at all the UA-cam videos on a7Siii, but I've seen a bunch, and they're nowhere near as good as this. Please don't delay on Part 2. Thank you!
Loved how detailed yet easily you explained everything. Transitioning from Nikon to Sony can be a bit overwhelming, thanks a ton for making this video and saving us the time spent in researching everything from scratch.
Man, Matt...you're just too good!! Not only such a great teacher, but extremely thorough! Thank you very much for your generosity!
Hands down the best ever made tutorial and set up video. You made life way easier with these 1 and 2 videos
Yo Matt,
Thanks for everything you do dude. I film a lot of broadcast TV docs and I actually refer to your stuff a bunch. Keep up the good work and the effort is much appreciated.
Stellar job, Matt. I had such great results with my 2 a7sii's at my last church. Now, I'm migrating to a7siii workflow and I'm so stoked to see that you've done this!
Just want to say thank you. Your videos are so helpful. I watched this last year when I got an FX3. Just got an A7S3 today and I came back to rewatch this video! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for all of this amazing information! After 10 years with Canon I’m starting the process to move to Sony and it’s much less overwhelming with your help - feels like I have a private tutor! Can’t wait for part two and the picture profiles, I’m sure they’ll be equally as helpful!
Glad to help! Part 2 is up now!
Thank you Matt, you're seriously the best. Your hard work and dedication are truly appreciated
Brother, i can't tell you in words that how's you are helping people of the various parts of the globe. Behalf of all them i want to say a big thanks for ur hard work...lots of love & best wishes...🙏
Soooo useful! Just the right pace too. Thanks Matt
Matt, this was so helpful! Thank you. Been a Sony user for a decade plus and still learned a bunch. Thank you!
I can't tell you how much I needed that. Picking the camera up tomorrow and shooting a wedding Sunday so REALLY found that helpful.
It's always a pleasure to watch you and upgrade my knowledge from a pro. You really helped me a lot to create much better videos. Thaks!
Thank you dude! Amazing video! Just got my a7Siii and watching all your videos!
Thank you so much for doing this. I followed along on my FX3 and it worked great!
clear, strait to the point, beginner friendly i love it:) thank you!!
Fabulous! Thank you so much for making it simple... time consuming but simple!
Damn fine videos Matt - after switching from Canon to Sony these are already saving me a TONNE of time. I think I love you.
This is incredible and you couldn’t have dropped it at a better time for my needs. Thanks for your hard work, Matt!
I just got the A7S iii. Your videos are the best, thank you.
Matt, you are a lifesaver! Thank you for making these videos!!
This video is amazing as is everything you put out! You helped me build my first PC and have saved my butt so many times with my camera. Thank you thank you thank you
This is incredibly helpful! Straight to the point and everything is well explained. Thank you!
I want to thank you for this excellent tutorial and for giving all of us your camera settings to copy them to our cameras. Pt 1 and Pt 2 of these videos plus the How to Expose in SLOG3 helped me achieve absolutely great results last week. Your settings are really practical and really work, and your tips are to the point. Unless other self-proclaimed gurus (e.g. Mark Galer) your tips actually made me shoot the video with the cinematic look I was looking. Other UA-camrs DON'T give away all their tricks. They are selfish with their "secrets".
Love your tutorials! The best🚀
Great job, Matt as always! Thank you, I learned a lot.
Thanks a bunch for the Video Matt, was super helpful! Sitting here with my A7SIII and A1, following along on both :D Now's time to watch part 2!
I have literally been waiting for your thoughts on the siii picture profile for months so I’m def here to it
WAUW MATT, thank you so much! The preset is amazing!!!
You are so amazing, you could be Sony Ambassador! So useful, thank you so much.
Yo brother thank you so much!! You seriously saved me so much time and I feel like I know my camera so well even though I've had it less than a week!
I really love it your channel. I saw more or less than 3 videos of you, explaining proxies, frames per second, and I forgot the other (it's almost 5 am, I am tired aahha). But I appreciate your work for real.
Thanks Matt! I watched this to set-up my new Sony FX3. Other than a few settings it seems to be the same as the A7sIII. Nice to see you at Vision Quest. Great work, you had me chuckling.
This was amazing. Thanks for the help!
Thank you Matt! This is very helpful as explaining and setting up my new camera. Very much appreciated!
I downloaded and installed your settings -- super helpful!! Thanks Matt!
This was so helpful! Thank you. I'd be really interested in a video on using in-camera proxies! Your tutorials are great and nice to follow.
Thanks Matt for yet another great video. Here is a quick tip for all the viewers for Save/Load settings in A7 S III. I have been struggling with it for two weeks and finally figured it out. When you format the memory card in the camera the SONY folder is empty (PRIVATE--->SONY). As Matt mentioned in his Help document about how to load his settings and what SONY help manual also tells, this path should be like this PRIVATE > SONY > SETTING 7SM3
> CAMSET. So basically "SETTING 7SM3 > CAMSET" is missing under the "SONY" folder. You have to first 1. Format the memory card in camera. then 2. save the current settings of your camera (MENU > Setup (Yellow Toolbox) > Reset/Save Settings > Save/
Load Settings > SAVE). This will populate the entire folder structure in the memory card. Then take out memory card, insert into computer and replace the " .dat " file in "CAMSET" folder with Matt's file. It's a small nuance but thats the workaround. I have two SONY A7 S III bodies and could not copy my settings from one camera to the other. I opened a ticket with SONY and spent so much time but even they could not figure it out. Hope it helps and I hope it was not an issue with my cameras only. If your is working fine without this workaround, please let me know. And yes, both my camera bodies are on the updated firmware version V 2.0.
Thank you for this information. As I was having the exact same problem. Very informative. 👏👏
Many thanks, Matt! Went through my FX3 settings while watching this :)
One thing to note is you can use S&Q mode to record hyperlapses. A lot more convenient than taking a picture, taking a step, picture, step, picture, step, etc. You can put it to SQ and walk straight with a gimbal.
Man you the Man !!! Short and described every single things🙏👍✊
From a still shooter starting to to dive into video this video was very helpful. Very adaptable to the A1 as well. Thanks!
What a guide, Thank you Matt
Matt has saved the day💎
Thanks Matt for all the effort you put into this videos. Sony should give you a lifetime free camera entitlement for this :-)
You answered so many of my questions! Now I guess I'm gonna have to watch more of your videos... 🤔
Yes, we would like to see a video with your favorite picture profiles. That would be awesome.
Thank Matt, this was exactly what I needed.
hey! Zankyou! for all the info and good vibes...so chapter 2 custom buttons. Matt the perfect teacher!!!
Çok teşekkür ettim you are the best matt 🇹🇷💪🏼
Dude you just saved me hrs THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. It has helped massively having just switched to Sony system. All the best 👍
Glad to help Brett!
your video's are so to the point, thx.
Just got my FX3 today this helped a bunch thanks bro, great beard!
Matt, geweldige informatieve video!
Translate from Dutch: great, informative review!
This will be "binge watchin'" to your other work.
Warm greetings from Belgium.
Lou
Thank you so much for this video, so clear and straight to the point!!!!
Really great information helped a ton with my FX3 as the menu is identical, huge thanks.
Super, merci beaucoup, j'ai gagné beaucoup de temps sur ma fx3. Good job
This was incredibly helpful thank you
This is amazing Matt , thank you so much
Thanks for the video, very helpful bro!
Thanks for all the tips! I recently picked up the a7siii and this video is very helpful. Thanks for what you do!
Just got to the section on NTSC/PAL. I am Europe so I shoot everything in PAL (50fps) because if I don't, I'll see flickering lights anytime I walk by florescent lights which is very distracting, especially a night. As far as I know, there is no way around this but to film in PAL. Is there something I'm missing?
You can try filming with a lower or higher shutter speed and seeing if that fixes things even in ntsc. You’ll need to experiment a bit
BEST VIDEO EVER! THX!!
Thank you so much Matt. This is very helpful. Blessings.
A quick video for your proxy workflow on the A7s3 would be awesome!
The Best.
🙏🏼
amazing sound fx you did waa waaa
Great video - thanks so much for creating this!
absolutely brilliant. thx dude!
What I would find really helpful for a video is how to go into the memory card menu to properly attach the proxies. I’ve used proxy recording and I’ve had a hard time in premiere to get all the proxies attached at once. I had to do it one by one which at that point I might of well just created proxies in premiere. Love your videos! Thanks Matt!
You make my life so much easier, thank you brother!
Thanks man, congrats on the new baby!
thanks man! very helpful.
Muchas gracias Matt!! you are the best!!!
Matt You do this well. Thank you so much!
Wow, so useful!
Fantastic video, thank you so much for this!
thank you very much, buddy,very helpful
This was awesome!
Thanks Adrian!
Awesome instruction, Matt! Thank you! Would love to learn about which Picture Profiles you like for shooting weddings, inside and outdoors.
Awesome walkthrough, thanks Matt!
Thanks Mike!
Amazing tutorial, I'm dying to know more about your picture profile settings!
Matt, you have a lot of details in this video.That's what I like about your videos. details. More videos about the Sony a7Siii to come. I'll be waiting.
Thanks George!
чувак, очень крутые и полезные видео!!!
Set Power Save Start Time to 1 minute, so if you forget to press record during the ceremony or speeches, that blank screen will give you a big hint that you messed up. You can also leave your camera on throughout the day without worrying about battery waste.
Auto Exposure settings (aperture priority or auto ISO) are actually useful because the sun's intensity changes, often dramatically. Shunning all auto settings is just making your life more difficult - especially in post. Day-lit ceremonies (indoors or outside) with intermittent cloud cover are hell in full manual - not only are you on the dial the whole time and screwing up exposure constantly but the continual tweaking of settings adds movement to the whole shot.
PAL / NTSC - if you're in a PAL country then do keep it to PAL. As others have said this isn't just about broadcast standards, it's also important to match the frequency of the electrical system to avoid flickering lights much as possible. 25p is close enough to 24p to pass for "cinematic" in terms of delivering the best client experience.
This was a great video though and really helpful, just wanted to add some notes that others may or may not agree with.
Proxy video please please please!! And also the best practices together with Slow Motion in that regard. Thank you for you crystal clear videos!
Love it - thank you!
Wow! Once again thank you.
Hi Matt - great work on another fantastic video mate! As an observation - I've got 2 x Sony a7SIII's and both are set to PAL as I live in Australia, and when I loaded your whoismatt.dat file the Video Mode and Mode Dial (1) settings came up as XAVS 4K 25p 60M 4:2:0 8bit. As a test - I reset the cameras to NTSC and reloaded the .dat file - and the Video Mode and Mode Dial (1) settings reverted to your XAVS 4K 24p 100M 4:2:2 10bit - so the NTSC/PAL setting seems to influence the settings. In PAL mode - Mode Dial (2) and (3) came up as 50p 200M 4:2:2 10bit and 100p 280M 4:2:2 10bit, respectively.
Matt, great video! Thanks! Just one remark, if you are in a PAL country you do want to select PAL as the electricity network has that same frequency and therefore lights can give you some ugly flicker if you leave it on NTCS.
Really want to show my appreciation to u bcos this video has made my FX3 less intimidating for me
So glad to help! 😁
probably additional 60min of watching time to this content :) Thank you
Greatful this is very helpful
This is amazing Matt! thank you for doing this! can you please please do one for the A7iii? Thank you!!!
love your videos. you deserve more subs.... not because of your awesome knowledge and tutorials but because of that beard!
I want your picture profile video! Ganna keep watching this video now, just bought my first camera the fx3 and this video is fantastic.
Hey yo, thanks Matt.
