Thank you for your tutorial, coming from a canon seeing getting a Sony was new territory but now through your video I feel more confident to go out there and shoot with my new camera 😊

FINALLY A GREAT VIDEO FOR BEGINNERS!!! I've been struggling with this camera and now, after this video, I feel so much better!!! Very well explained and I am SO HAPPY (and relieved) I found this video and channel. Already subscribed and I'm watching more of your videos next! Thank you for doing this!!!!

Thank you so much! I’m a total newbie and was overwhelmed. There is so much to learn in photography and the camera and lenses are overwhelming. Not to mention composition, editing, etc.

@deanhasse2484 3 года назад

Just bought the A7s111 and after watching Sony's brand new tutorial streaming master class which was absolutely horrible I found your video on the a7 111 to get started on this beast, you are amazing, the video is articulate, easy to follow and xlint visuals of camera, Sony needs to hire you they are completely clueless . a pro camera that is designed to Hollywood specs should have the same level of education on the camera. You saved the day, I will watch more of your videos!

@Jason_Hermann 3 года назад

I really appreciate your kind words and I'm glad the video helped you out!! I also have several on the A7RIV which should help you out. Obviously the menu system on the A7SII is very different though.. Many more How-To VideosHere: ru-vid.com/group/PLFE32AB0363640EDF

@theequinealchemist9448 2 года назад

This video was beyond helpful. I never understand what anyone else is saying when I watch these videos and I was concerned that it was going to be someone trailing off topic when I saw the video length but everything was easy to understand and ACTUALLY HELPFUL!!! Thank you!

@pegahshahnaz2517 3 года назад

You have truly done an amazing job explaining the basics to us. I got this camera for christmas and had no clue on how to use it. Im excited to see what other videos you have for us. Thanks for putting this together for us.

@Jason_Hermann 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@codexena1 Год назад

I just upgraded from my phone to this. WOW as you noted the menu system is insane with lots of options. Thank you for this basic start. Will be watching our other videos on this camara.

@Ghandjaloodah 3 года назад

You really have a talent for explanation. Clear and articulate. Almost made me want to get the A7III, but I'm gonna wait for the A7IV. At least till 2022.

@jackiespatsysdavy1869 5 лет назад

Brilliant, this is just what i need for getting to know my new A7iii, liked, subscribed and gonna be hanging around here for a long time 😊thank you so much man 😉

@ramyaswaroop2970 Год назад

This is an amazing video for beginners! I feel so good about handling the camera now. The video is simple and clear. But my only regret is I wish you had covered the Bluetooth feature a bit and how to format the memory card as well. But I still love it!

@yamimoreno6147 2 года назад

Thanks for the vid. It was very helpful. A big applause to Jason!!!

@invi_carlos 5 лет назад

I can not thank you enough. This just made this dense menu system so much clearer. After watching this, I can't seem why anyone would complain about the menu. Camera is amazing.

@Karukell 3 года назад

@Jason_Hermann 4 года назад

That is awesome to hear and thank you for the comments :)

@CableWrestler 2 года назад

Pah! Groupon. I'm sorry you had the displeasure of finding out that it's not worth it at all.

@sgrams3578 3 года назад

Thank You! All my life I've been a point and shoot camera user, I recently moved to where I have many opportunities for taking lasting landscape and wildlife photos. When I made the decision to buy my Sony A7S iii I knew I would be facing a steep learning curve. The past couple of days I found your help manuals, today I found this helpful video, then when you pointed out your help manuals I realized they are made by you! The manuals are excellent but this video will get me going so I can refer more to the manuals. It seems there are many similarities between the cameras.

@Jason_Hermann 3 года назад

Thank you for the kind words and yes all the Sony cameras work basically the same with the exception of the new Sony A7S III which has an all new menu system. The camera still works the same, but finding the settings is totally different due to the new menu system.

@Bensinkvitto 5 лет назад

Really liked the walk-through. Clear and also pointed out stuff with the buttons at the beginning of the video. Way better than Jared Polins "beginners guide".

@PaulFernyhough 3 года назад

thank you for a very clear and informative video - I have just moved to Sony A73 from Panasonic G9 and this really helps me insert myself into the rather complex world of Sony menus and ergonomics. On many other sites the reviewers just get a bit too excited and wrapped up in the Sony universe and assume all listeners know the basic stuff. Much appreciated - now I can take some pictures and wont delete them by accident!

@jon6288 5 лет назад

Jay, thanks so much for this video. It feels silly to be such a newb using such an expensive camera, but this was so helpful to get me going. Any chance you'll make this into a series? Where would you suggest someone starts exploring after the auto and P modes?

@Jason_Hermann 5 лет назад

Wel, it really depends on what you are doing I would say. For photography I use Aperture Priority mode most of the time, because usually depth of field is what I'm looking to play with while taking photos of my kids or some landscapes. I would just dial the aperture towards the lower number for portraits, then dial it up to the higher numbers for landscapes. If you are shooting sports however, the shutter speed becomes more of a critical element getting a sharp action capture. So for that I would use the Shutter priority mode. In the studio environment, or lab in my case, I would use manual mode to lock down the camera into exact settings that I know I want for video usually. I really think the best thing you can do is just get out there and start taking photos and videos. Play around and try and have some fun. Challenge yourself in different ways, and you will find certain modes and settings will work better for different situations. I hope that helps ;) As far as making a series? I'm not really sure about that due to my limited time. What did you have in mind?

@210772106 5 лет назад

Jay, Thank you for a thorough, pointed and detailed quick start video. GREAT!! I've been using a A6000 and a A6500 for 2 +years now, and have been quite happy with my results. I learned a bunch from this "starting" video, and very much appreciate your work, for all of us. The tutorial and the series is EXACTLY what I was looking for, and is an excellent resource. I'm literally waiting for my new A7III to arrive, along with a Canon mount Sigma 24-105 F4. I've had great luck with the MC-11 adapter with a canon mount 100-400 Sigma C with the on my A6500. I'm looking forward to similar results with the new setup. Thank you again for your kind help.

Still a little confused on auto and P, I def want to shoot raw and then use a filter on Lightroom. This is my very first camera and feel that the auto setting will be best for me for a while. Thank you again!

@paulm8157 5 лет назад

Quick tip. Lens dot/body cap marker can also align with the sensor plane marker on topside of camera body - easier to see sometimes than lens flange dot. “Dots” all for now. (Sorry.) Keep hot shoe cover in place when no flash is attached to avoid accidentally shorting out the electrical contacts. EVF diopter wheel adjustment should have been included - in case info around image in evf does not appear sharp.
