A7iii Must Have Accessories: • MUST-HAVE Sony A7iii A...
Today I’m going to share with you how I set up my Sony A7iii to make shooting video easier. A lot of people buy a nice camera and then just use it with the default settings, and I think they are really missing out.
I watched a ton of other KZfaq videos and tried different settings that other creators use and I picked bits and pieces of what worked out best for me.
The #Sony #A7iii shoots amazing 4K video but the menu system is a bit confusing.
I went ahead and set the camera up so that I almost never have to go into the menu settings at all.
It’s now so much easier to use and shooting video with it is a lot easier.

Where to begin with the compliments here? Thank you for your economy of words, your extremely high quality visual presentation, your real-world, practical examples, your lack of background music, and the thorough thinking you share with us to explain your decisions. Looking forward to watching more of your videos on this amazing camera I just purchased.

⭐️ Best price for the Sony A7iii (updated!!!): Body only: geni.us/sony-a7iii (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this tutorial about my Sony A7iii video settings was helpful. I watched a lot of video and tried different setups recommended by other creators, and picked the things that worked well for me. Was it too fast? Too slow? Enough details? Not enough? Do you have some other ideas about great settings for shooting video with the A7iii?Let me know what you think!! I am grateful in advance 🙏

I was wondering how to get the animal eye to work while using video. I have the A92 but I think they're pretty similar. I changed some of my settings today as per your video and I'm getting there. Still lots to learn.

@brianringo 3 жыл бұрын

Good info. The EVF sensor can be easily switched off by pulling the screen away slightly. I typically pull the top of the screen away just a tiny bit to make sure the sensor doesn't cause any problems.

@CKramburglar 5 жыл бұрын

One great setting, if you like single focus mode in video (which the a7iii doesn't support) is to set one of your buttons to AF/MF Control Hold. Then you just shoot in manual focus, hold down your custom button until the AF locks on, then let go and you're back in manual so your focus won't change
