Very useful but very annoying to have background music through the whole video.

Thats one hell of a honest review. Straight up facts👍

Happens to me almost every shoot.... just happened to me now so wanted to do some digging! sigh.

It's really annoying thing. Sony can't just get it fixed like how Canon does it. The only thing I can do is to disable the customised buttons for pressing left, right and down. Whoever designed this is an engineer rather than a photographer.

Thanks for your info! I've actually just purchased the a73 and trying to find a video on best most intuitive custom function settings for event photography. Wonder if you have a vidro or what youve found is most useful? (Ive just learned also about the need to lock the wheel settings that avoid accidental changes while shooting, so that knocks out some usefulness it seems)

Also as I'm brand new to this camera, a73, is it mostly just the main wheel that gets bumped would we say, or people find it easily happens in other areas too? Having the handy dial to adjust ISO seems so convenient, but if thats the culprit im tempted to reset that one if doable to somewhere else, or just lock that wheel 🤔

Thank you! Im surprised this isnt spoken of more often.

OMG this is exactly what I needed! I often shoot silent in locations that have LED lights and the A7R3 does not sync when shooting silent so I have to manually dial the exposure time... if I select the wrong time, the LED refresh rate will create banding. Sorted!

Hundreds and hundreds of RAWS to toss because it without warning starts bracketing on me, because the camera is so small and dainty that I can't pick it up without pressing something. Having my doubts now using Sony as a field camera. Bad design.

Still useless. 😞

100% A7riii

HI! Great video. I have a question about the ISO auto min SS function. I love the idea of this but when I set it to 250 and my ISO to auto ISO, even in AP and P mode, my shutter speed is still jumping down to super low shutter speeds like 1/30th of a second. Any idea why? Its kind of breaking my heart!

1 stop better iso and a bit better video, these are the only advantages a7iii has.

How you change hue saturation white to black?

Sick shots! What mount are you using for the GoPro?

Excellent video. Very informative. I did photography 20 years ago. Quit because of job demands. Now I want to get back into photography but I am unsure whether to get full frame or not. Low light & macro are my favorite. Thank you for putting this video together.

I just picked one up. I used one for a full wedding day 2 years ago out of necessity but those are still some of my favorite photos I've taken. there just something really great looking about it

Is it good to use skin for camera

AGREED! That is ridiculous. They need a proper lock!

Useful video. I stumbled on this feature, now I understand more. Thanks for the content!

Yesssss! Thank you!!!!

Believe it or not I came looking for this feature as I sometimes change the shutter speed accidentally while filming handheld, super annoying especially when I only notice once I stop recording. Thank you!

Great video! i'll give this a try, i have had the same issue along with many others when shooting with the Sony, (coming from a Nikon D4) i was really frustrated with this body, and actually didn't use it for the first 2 year i had it.

Great video. Ty.

Yes, totally agree, keep hitting the ISO because the button is poorly placed, probably just going to go back to Canon

Hello! I've never set up memory recall but would like to create settings for video in low light or evening light? Any suggestions for where to start finding settings to play with for that type of video? Thank you!

Im looking to buy the a7riii for weddings as well landscape…i know this question may be common but can you recommend one lense i can get for this camera!? At the moment i’ll only be able to purchase one lense for a small wedding I will be shooting (also my first) but I am at a crossroads with this.

I thought I was the only one facing this. Here is the solution. Go to the Custom Key settings (on A7iii it is the "camera2\8th screen\top menu item then page 2) and turn the LEFT, RIGHT and DOWN buttons to OFF. Ypu can find "OFF" by scrolling to the 19th and very last menu for assigning functions to the buttons. I access the drive mode and ISO only through the "bump proof" Fn Menu. It's a lousy compromise but it sure beats swearing at your camera and the useless software engineers who obviously don't use the cameras as working professionals and don't care. I sold my Nikons and Canons as they took 5 years to decide to take mirrorless seriously, but never encountered anything as inane as Sony's menus and lack of intelligence in programming them. The lenses are fantastic, but the bodies....oh my.....

Thank you so much. It was very helpful for me to understand the purpose of this tool

How’s the noise when changing aperture and auto focusing in photos A mode - AF-S focus mode setting to F22?

Bought it in 2017 and sold it! bad idea, bought it again in 2022 for the compact size to match my a7c, perfect for traveling

Great job man! Thanks

This is a great review ... thanks for sharing ... your sample wedding album is great.

Thank you brother

Excellent, Bravo 👏👏👏

Well thought out but personally I'd like to see the gear laid out in front of you while you are talking

which lens have you used to vlog this video?

Thank you! Needed this video!!

I do real estate photography and you wouldn't believe how many times I bump the Aperture Wheel knocking my Aperture from F8 to F11 and never notice it until my shoot is done and then I have to reshoot the rooms where the change to effect. The company I do the photography for requires everything to be shot at F8. Your video is a game changer for me so Thank You!

Can I use it on my 50d 60d and 70d

For a slightly lower priced used Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G vs this 55mm f/1.8 zeiss, which would you go for?

I find myself using the lock the controls constantly when shooting in the studio. I don't want to accidentally bump something and see the ISO or Shutter Speed change. It works like a champ for me and now I don't have to worry about my exposure changing when shooting tethered.

Thank you for the video. I am thinking to start doing vlogging, but i am really in tight budget and has no knowledge on this things. I have sony a6000 that i can use. Is it possible to just use the camera itself without external microphone? I just try to record something with my sony, but i can't hear anything on the camera itself (i think i should move the video to computer to hear what i said?) Sorry if this is so basic questions 😂

I have been really interested in purchasing this app. But if you wanted to move away from Narrative Publish in the future, you'd have to go back and manually upload the photos because the script wouldn't be active anymore is a little daunting. You just never know what other programs are going to be made in the future that could potentially surpass NP.

Depends what you want for end result, if you like details in Landscape on large prints, the a full frame high megapixel full frame Camera are the best, if you only do smaller prints then APSC Cameras are good enough.

I have the Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm 1.8, it would have been much better if it had an aperture ring, I hope for an upgraded version with aperture ring or a similar Lens with aperture ring.

Thank you kevin

That was helpful video!

Hello friend, one question, do you recommend the Sony a6000 for long streams, I have a little doubt and fear since I do live streams on twitch and they are long maybe 4 or maybe 6 hours and obviously the camera will be connected to a fake battery connected to the electricity all the time, that's why the reason for my fear when streaming I don't know if the camera overheats they told me that the Lumix G85 doesn't overheat in video and I don't know which one to choose I would appreciate it if you gave me your opinion, I hope see your answers, thanks.

Really great information for the sony setup and your lighting. The mini speedlight is brilliant! I tried the godox v1 on the sonya7iii and did notice the balance was heavy, also their dome is not as nice as the magmod. Thanks!
