Using Sony cameras can be a bit tricky if you have never studied the way the system works and how the features interact. In this Comprehensive Real World Breakdown I will show you how the Sony RX100 III works, and all the new Sony cameras work the same way! I will show you what you need to know and exactly how to use various features, modes, and effects such as: Full Auto, Aperture Priority Mode, Manual Mode, Focus Settings, Metering Modes, Drive Modes, Image Quality, Formats, Video Record Settings, Scene Modes, Picture Effects, ISO, Custom Button Programing, Function Menu, EVF, and Much More...
Please feel free to ask questions as clearly I did not cover every single feature on the camera, but I really think you will learn a lot! This video is using the RX100M3, but all the latest Sony cameras are very similar if not exactly the same in the menu system. SOme cameras have different features depending on the model, but all the fundamentals are the same across the current camera line.

Curious how the Sony cameras work in comparison to the Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and others?? Then check out this breakdown of how the Sony RX100 III works, because all the Sony cameras work very much the same. Some offer different features, but the core concepts like focus modes, focus area, metering modes, etc.. all apply.

@CommiePinko101 9 лет назад

***** Is there a manual focus ring?

@xXBurntBaconXx 9 лет назад

Christopher Cox I think you can set the front ring to manual focus

@Jason_Hermann 8 лет назад

Yes, I believe you can configure that for manual focus.

@Jason_Hermann 9 лет назад

Wondering how to use your new Sony camera?? It can be a hard learning curve and in this video I will breakdown all the key features that matter. All the newer Sony cybershot and alpha cameras have the same menu system and basic features. So, come along for a ride using the RX100 III and see how and what the camera can do for you ;) #sony #cybershot #sonyalpha #howto #photography #photographytips #rx100 #sonyrx100 #sonyphotography #sonyphoto

@georgehnatiuk5806 7 лет назад

Jay, I have the Sony RX-10. Is there a way to use the camera as a real-time video camera and run the output directly into a computer for live video? I would like to use the camera on Google hangouts in place of a standard web camera for doing live video. Is this possible? GH

Very good and thorough tutorial. Glad I found this tutorial - for one thing, Sony's User Guide sure is worthless. Had this little dynamite camera for several years but just now finally finding out the "wheres & whats" of many of these control features. Thanks much my friend for posting this and being so straight forward and thorough.

@strokesurvivor8919 5 лет назад

I gotta thank you for doing this breakdown showing what can be used,there is so much to learn,and I’m just starting out, after having a stroke,what I liked here was you so precise on what you want to say, I can understand everything you said ,and that’s hard since stroke. 🙏🙏

@ThamizhMusic 7 лет назад

Excellent tutorial Jay. I had RX100M3 for a while and stuck to AUTO. Now after watching this tutorial I am going try the other modes. Thank yo.

@consuelosimpson194 2 года назад

Same for me. This has transformed how I use the camera!

@WTN808 6 лет назад

I like the fact that you had the display screen right in front of us (viewer) which made it intuitive to understand. Some of the other videos go back and forth between the contributor and sometimes just a parital view of display or "you should know"....well we don't. Thanks!

@millanisms 9 лет назад

I am so happy that people like you exist! I'm going to have so much fun with this camera. I personally, would LOVE like a 10 hour video explaining all the features in detail, haha :) There's so many features to learn. This was very useful, thank you!

@andrew2272kag 2 года назад

I just got one of these, used, for a trip I'm going on, wanted a small (relatively) cheap camera that I could fit into a pocket or sling bag with a bunch of other stuff. I've never had a proper camera before, just used my phone, but I've also never been on a proper trip in like a decade. This video was really helpful, thanks.

@earlfenwick 6 лет назад

I have watched a lot of rx100 videos and this is among the very best. You did a great job of explaining the features and providing the proper context for each. Bravo!

@karinsigner9780 9 лет назад

Hi Jay, I'm new to Sony digital cameras (been a Canon shooter since the 70s) and just received my little RX100 IV this weekend. I'm amazed (and also a bit overwhelmed) with all its features (how can such a tiny thing pack so many features?) and was looking for a tutorial, which brought me here. Since the Mark 4 was released at about the same time as Sony's flagship A7RII, everyone seems to concentrate on it and I couldn't find any tutorials/help for us new Mark 4 users, but your RX100 III video was still very helpful to me. Thanks a lot! The one feature I'm struggling with right now is Flexible Spot Focusing. I'd like to keep that setting. Is there a simpler way to access it, without having to go into Functions and select it each time? I've been playing with it, but couldn't find a quicker way. Anyway, I'll subscribe and maybe you'll do another tutorial for the Mark 4 some day?

Superb work. I've just decided to jump to a 'proper' camera instead of an iPhone and plumped for the Sony as pocketability is still hugely important for me. I've got a lot of out this video on first viewing and I'm sure I'll watch it a couple more times as I play with some of the features of the camera.

@shelleyho9440 6 лет назад

Wow, this is so helpful. Thanks a lot.

@rapaent 5 лет назад

Wow Jay!! Awesome tutorial! I have the RX100V in which I'm using manual focus for video by using the focus ring. It's really touchy along with needing to rotate quite a bit to find good focus. Do you have any tips for a quicker way to achieve focus throughout the entire frame such as wide? Will one of the Spot focus modes achieve most of the frame? I'd like to add, if I turn the camera off then back on, it looses the manual focus that I spent time on. As you know, time is a killer on heat issues along with battery life on these when shooting 4K. Thanks again for your awesome video! I'm definitely going to archive it. Great job buddy!! 😊😊👍

@JasonHermann 9 лет назад

It's not even close to the A6000 1650million The A6000 has the second generation Hybrid AF technology and a much larger sensor. I hope that helps, Jay

@serbrider6366 6 лет назад

Brilliant tutorial!! New to photography and would like some advice on settings for moving objects-taking photos while riding my bicycle. Thank you:) I see there's shutter priority!

@Jason_Hermann 6 лет назад

Shutter priority is the way to go, so you can make the shutter speed nice and fast. 1/1000sec or something like that. Auto/ Scene selection > Sports will also usually do a great job if your camera offers that ;)

@serbrider6366 6 лет назад

@Jason_Hermann 5 лет назад

For moon photos I would set the camera to spot metering mode. This will expose for the currently in the night sky. If you use average metering mode, the moon will most likely be way to bright. I would also use the center focus area to limit the amount of focusing the camera will do.

Is there a compete operating pdf file for this camera? I am a novice and need basic help with all the controls before getting too advanced,

@wayedk1040 4 года назад

at about 5:00 you talk about shooting RAW giving you the best possible quality but it will need more work. I'm new and I don't know what that means, what program to use or what else it means. I find that I take blurry images with the camera at times so I would like to know how shooting raw works

@Jason_Hermann 4 года назад

Hi Wayed, when I was referring to getting better quality when shooting raw I did not mean focus or sharpness. Raw files when compared to Jpeg files, have more editing latitude when using a image post processing program like Lightroom for example. As far as getting your photo sharp, you will need to make sure you have the correct focus and shutter speed in order to freeze the action if subjects are moving. A raw photo is basically un-edited. A Jpeg file is processed by the camera and compressed so the file size is significantly smaller than the raw file. Therefore the raw file contains more data in the highlights and shadows in particular, which allows for more advanced highlight and shadow recovery when post processing. I hope that helps! Jay
