Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to walk us through the setups and explaining why/how you map the buttons.

I’m in the need of your expertise. I just bought this camera with no lenses or flash. This is my first ever DSLR camera. I’ve looked into Sony accessories but they’re really expensive. Can you please give your guidance in what is good compatible to buy for this camera for a tight budget guy. I also don’t want to buy or carry lots of lenses. just one. Thank you!

Hey man! Great video! Do you know if a UHS-II is required for video on the A7iii? I’m having trouble recording on slot 2 with just a regular UHS-1

@LeeZavitz 5 жыл бұрын

Benny Acting not needed. Bitrate is only 100mbps in 4K. A standard uhsi card like Sandisk 95mbs is more than enough.

The UHS II is mainly for clearing the buffer speed on photos. UHS I is good for video, BUT you have to make sure its a class 10 (3) and not a class 10 (1) card!!

ditto some comments below. I am not a professional, but I am not a novice. The Sony a7III is my first DSLR since I was a kid many moons ago (I had a Minolta film as my first camera when I was 22). Your comments are useful but too often I had to stop the video, go back a few frames, look at the menu, etc. You speak much too fast, and move through the menu settings much too fast, which gets in the way of the good knowledge you have. Also, I would like to hear a bit more explanation of the reason you choose what you choose. There is some of it here but you do more of that in your other videos. I hope this critique is taken positively since the content is good. Thanks.

Robert 'GRIFF' Griffith I just meant I would get back to how to set a button up to allow you to access picture profiles. The canon profile can be found here www.eoshd.com/2018/05/eoshd-pro-color-v4-hdr-for-the-sony-a7-iii-and-a7r-iii/

How about the two scroll wheels at the top of sony a7r3 and a73? Is there a way to custom set them? I don't see them in the list for custom key.

@LeeZavitz 4 жыл бұрын

They are for shutter and aperture. You can change which one does what. But they are dedicated for that.

@taliscopes 4 жыл бұрын

Lee Zavitz ok! Where can I find mapping that in the settings? Also when I turn the main dial to 1 (from Manual/Movie/Auto) the aperture and shutter scroll wheels cancel one another out/adjust both settings simultaneously. So when aperture goes down, shutter speed goes up. I can’t find a way to stop that behavior.

@benkitesurfs 3 жыл бұрын

Doesn't it make more sense to set your control wheel to ISO? You have the back dial for aperture already (or shutter speed, if you reverse them) - setting the control wheel to aperture 3:48 would be redundant, right? Both the rear dial and the control wheel would both be used for aperture.

@taliscopes 3 жыл бұрын

Ben Knechel I think the question arose because when I switch the dial to my Custom 1, the two scroll wheels on top undo one another. So if I put aperture up, shutter speed goes down and vice versa. No idea what that setting is, so that’s why I ask about remapping. Any idea about that?

@benkitesurfs 3 жыл бұрын

@@taliscopes I think that the front and rear dials can only be aperture or shutter speed. The control wheel (the big flat one on the back) can be programmed to be anything. To me, programming it to be ISO makes the most sense. Then you have all 3 of your exposure settings at your fingertips.
