I have watched all the how too and custom key setup tutorials out there and I have settled with yours! and I am promising to myself not to change any of them until I memorise them. One I think that is a good idea is to exchange the aperture dial from the front of the shutter switch to the rear as it makes more sense to have the shutter speed adjustment closest to the shutter button.

My fourth Sony camera. I was shooting with the A6400 and A6500 in tandem since the A6400 was introduced. I was waiting for a revision to the A6500 which was "supposed to have" all kinds of great new features. I was totally underwhelmed by the features of the A6600. I was hoping for a 1/8000 second shutter and a 1/250 second sync among other features, I decided to sell my A6500 and I bought an open box A7iii camera with full manufacturer's warranty. It cost $400 more than an A6600 but, its full frame. Luckily most of my Sony lenses were full frame versions (I did that with the expectation of someday switching to full frame - this is the someday)... I have two extra A7iii batteries and a charger. By the way I said that the A7iii is my fourth Sony camera. I also have an NEX-7 which I converted to full time infrared photography...

Thanks for the video man. Just bought the camera. I shoot music videos for a living. Came from an a6300 with Sigma 16mm f1.4 Set up. Still not sure what I want to do lens wise with this. I bought the Sigma 24mm f1.4 and Sony fe28mm f2 and plan on returning one. I love how small the Sony lens is and DO NOT like how big the Sigma is. Suggestions?

I really hope I don't mess it up. I am shooting with a kit lens and idk about the results. My main concern is that how I'll be able to do photos and videos at the same time. I think I might have to hire someone day after according to how the shoot goes tomorrow. I want to share so much, but for now this much is okay :)..... Thanks for making the video.

I'm shooting a wedding in August with this camera and a 28mm F2 and the 55mm 1.8 Zeiss, I hope I can shoot the entire wedding with 2 lenses. I was thinking about renting a few lenses but I think is more important to get a flash like the evolve 200 flashpoint. Am I making the right choice? Ive never shot a wedding before so I dont know what im doing. Any tips anyone can share would be appreciated, Thanks!!

@GaryMcx 5 жыл бұрын

Like your style, currently trying to get my head around configuring my A7Riii and because the menu system is effectively the same, this has pushed me up the learning curve a little further. I would like a massive table of the menu system with columns for full description of function/pros/cons/impacts (e.g. enabling this limits this or this will be greyed out unless this prerequisite). The manual, even though it’s massive, can be pretty vague in some respects. I don’t mind the menu it’s as well laid out as it can be whilst offering exponential customisation. Sony might consider having an “explain” (help) option so you can get a quick description of the function on the camera, a little “i” button would remove the majority of criticism of the menu system I think. C’mon Sony, KZfaq is where your free R&D happens.

@OmarEltakrori 5 жыл бұрын

I would suggest to actually put the camera to use and based off of what you feel you keep changing setting wise you then go back and customize the menu/buttons. Where it is a learning curve, it is also every user friendly because how you can customize everything. let me know if you have any questions / ill try and help!

@GaryMcx 5 жыл бұрын

Put it to use I have. Still playing around with it, not customising until I figure out what’s going to work for me.
