It’s rare that I would thank someone for an information I could see many people advice other with.. I sincerely appreciate your effort and thank you from the bottom of my heart This had me relieved.. and of course in grace of sharp footage that would look amazing with manual focus I was looking for magnifying only as new user of sony a7s iii, and I found all the three tips astounding and perfect of a gorgeous picture

A very nice a comprehensive tutorial well explained and easy to understand good job it has solved my Manuel focus problems. RJ. Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Dude, your last tip was an absolute life saver for me when my AF-C kept going in and out in a podcast setting 👍

Thank you Andrew. Very clear directions and easily followed.

Brother GREAT JOB! You just helped me more than you know, our Cooking shows are very high paced and this just saved the day for quick focus of our food on the fly. Thanks A MILLION. Aloha🤙🏾

Thank you Andrew! I absolutely enjoy your detailed content on the a7SIII.

Nice video :) I've personally found though that leaving peaking to high will include colored selections that are not really in focus at all, and it is difficult at times to distinguish what truly is the focal point of the image. I definitely recommend punching in on the focus assist to verify with your own eyes what is in focus on the image, irregardless of what peaking is showing

Excellent video!! Thank you so much, Andrew!! Greetings from a Colombian living in China!

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! Thank you so much for making this. It was made very well and you explained everything perfectly, this channel is going places, keep it up.

3:30 As a newb struggling with my camera, I was just trying to figure out focus magnification. I had no idea focus peaking was even a thing 🤯 Update while watching: During the steps for the AF/MF hold - also had no idea I could also set a custom key to switch between auto and manual focus🤦🏻‍♂My life just got easier. Huge thanks for making this!

thanks! you have clarified much better than the manual!

Thank you for the “controle hold” trick!

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you

Thanks so much for this! I’ll happen to meet up with someone soon who has some good Canon EF lenses, but I could only get a manual adapter in time. So without this, I would be stuck in the menus all day instead of being out there shooting! Thanks!

Good help, needed this moving from Nikon - thank-you

excellent. simple. thank you

Thank you this was very helpful to me. I have the Sony A7lll.

Very helpful detailed explanation. Thank you very much.

Thanks for doing this...I learned a lot!

Awesome tips! Thank you.

Very helpful, Thanks 😊

Appreciate the help with explaining the focus hold button. I'm new to being on the operator side after releasing 2 award winning documentaries about my life. I have MSA. Easier just to goggle my name Austin Crawford, Again great explanation.

Amazing tips thank you soo much

Is thereca way to have peaking display in photo while in auto focus mode ? Thank you ! Great video !

amazing!

I’m pretty sure in manual focus if you double tap the screen it will zoom in for focus magnification. I’m not sure if it works in auto focus.

Is there an option for peeking to be only activated when im in manual mode and when i switch back to automatic focus to be turned off by itself? Like on a7iii...

Very informative Bro! Fantastic Job! 👍 Subscribed and like) Waiting for new videos!

I set a customkey to magnify when I want to manually focus on my A1. This worked ok on my Tamron 28-75 lens but did not work at all when I connected my new Brightin Star 50mm f/0.95 lens, which is a manual-focus-only lens. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have an A7s3 with the 3.0 update but I cannot get the AF On buttonto work in the manual focus mode. What am I doing wrong. Please help. Thank you.

Can you fine tune focus with manual focus ring while in autofocus mode?

nice tuto. On a7iv and a7rv, personnally i set focus magnifier on "OK" center button and keep trash button for tactile on/off (when my nose touches the lcd when in evf mode). Jason Vong and Philip Bloom are using AF/MF toggle on AFON and AF/MF hold on ael. toggle is nice because no need to press all the time when you want to keep focus on a building,... while people, a pole is suddenly on front. I like your AF/MF hold method but it requires to be in MF all the time while AF-C is very powerful. By default I am in AF-C. But on a7iv and a7rv, (philip bloom part 1 and 2), when you are in af-c mode, that af/mf hold behaves inverse. if i am correct, it works when you release the button instead of pressing it. correct ? I saw in a Crafford AF tuto that when we use movie button for video, half pressing shutter button makes a focus hold. Is is documented because not customizable.

hey mang, great video. When using focus peaking in slog 3 are you aiming for whats in the colour to be +1.3 to +1.7?? for perfect exposure?

do i see focus peaking if i am recording externally with something like an atomos v?

The only thing that doesn't make sense to me using my a7iv, is if I manual focus on a foreground object and focus peaking is on the object is highlighted RED zoomed in, so when I'm about to press the shutter button it zooms out, but still showing me the focus is on the foreground object "but why are background objects showing highlighted RED as well?" given aperture is set to f1.4 seems like the focus peaking also highlights objects that are not in focus, that shouldn't be.

hello there,for the video/filming mode, the maximum magnification is just 4x? I have got a sony alpha 7 mark 3

my A7iv doesnt have the AF/MF hold option in the menu, weird

I have the a7ii, which is quite old now. It has focus magnification but i cannot get it to magnify while recording in video. Are the newer cameras different and allows realtime magnification for focus while recording video?

Clear explanation but my brain is programmed to use af-on to lock autofocus so I’ll be programming the button on the lens as af/mf.
