This is a savour bro. I grabbed one of these and It's been taking me forever to learn this camera and Sony at the same time. Much more familiar with Canon and other cameras. So much still to learn on this camera and to set it properly but I think once figured out it can probably get some seriously nice results.
@@SightseeingStan Preface this with I'm only a beginner. best set up (depending on photo genre) , I like the camera but the menu is quite dense - not sure what sort of things I should be ignoring and what settings I should be tinkering with - how to simplify the approach?. I know you are trying to blast through some info, could you go into more depth within some of your chapters - why and when or not would I use focus peaking or exposure zebras. I've noticed when I go manual some features are not available - not sure why. Apologies - too many questions. Thank you
I use the memory mode dials (1 & 2) for shooting video. I have those setup for 1) shooting 25fps normal video and 2) 120fps slow motion video. But if you're just shooting wanting to shoot video, I would suggest using the movie dial.
Thanks! I made a video about the a7iii: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3yk_YgkaWGo.html In short, it's still a great camera. But depends on your needs and budget.
Set USB Connection to "Mass Storage" (Menu - setup 4). Connect to computer via USB-C Download firmware from Sony website Open the downloaded file and follow instructions
Thanks for the video, but oh boy, how convoluted is this camera. Mine i still in the box, I sold all my Canon gear before a trip. Now have to work it out quickly for job...yikes!
It's because of S-Log 2 (PP7). It's a flat color profile that requires color grading when you edit. If you don't want that, it's better not to use this picture profile.
@@bjornvanveen3746 Sorry I thought you were talking about video. For photos I wouldn't use any picture profile. But if you shoot in RAW (instead of JPEG) you will also get a flatter image (less color, less contrast) but with more dynamic range in the data. Again here, the idea is to then edit your image and bring out the colors and contrast to your taste. If you are not interested in doing that, you should shoot in Jpeg.
@@Huldrui may be wrong, but i don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. he could have had a point if he said SLog3, which is a great colour profile, but because of the bit rate on the a7iii, the profile is too advanced to work properly on the camera, but slog2 works great. also profiles are very much an opinion type thing and i use HLG for most of my stuff (i also have an a7iii)
