[@jedrekwrzosek6918]

Hey. Thanks for getting me familiar with the Sony menu. This is my first camera. I am super pumped to test it in the real world.

[@mickeyjetpur7998]

This is the first good video explaining the settings for the A7lll for people like me who switched and have no clue about this menu! I watched many and yours is the easiest to understand. You also give a good understanding of the custom keys. Thanks.

[@OmarEltakrori]

thanks mickey! I hope you'll love it as much as i do!

[@jenniferschott3593]

It's my first camera, so this was wonderfully helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@heartfeltproductions9937]

Thanks Omar for setting up my Sony A3. These settings are straight fire and I have noticed a huge difference in my work.

[@raghavendraprasad1778]

It's been 5 months of owning this A73 and i was always looking for a video to help me understand the setting with an example of use case and this one was spot on. Thanks for helping me. Love from ManOfMysore youtube channel 👍👍

[@FelipeDMontalvo]

I can't believe it! I just picked up this camera and it is 2 years ago that you made this video? How crazy is that? Well thanks for the help in setting up my first Sony camera.

[@MinervaCaballero-McCarthy]

My first was an A7r and moved up to A9...love it!

[@daveym58]

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.

[@lyn.memories]

Just ordered my first Sony camera - I used Sony when I had digital cameras and then my dad gifted me a Canon 600D which is still great. 😍 But now I’ll be back to Sony with the A7III. ☺️

[@merietab]

This was super helpful!! I shoot mainly photography but getting into video now!

[@davidscharf5483]

I'm stepping into that new tech with this being my first Sony camera

[@jillzielinski2164]

Always shot with Nikon…just bought my first Sony. A7iii. I'm nervous! I hope it's the right move 😬

[@OmarEltakrori]

it is forsure!

[@itzajdmting]

How did you get on? Just bought my A7:iii other day

[@mengy007]

This is my 3rd as well. I went a5100 -> a6500 -> a7iii. Before that I was a Canon user (T2i -> 60D -> 6D). I'm loving this camera so far.

[@OmarEltakrori]

what a climb! yea man, this camera is everything.

[@BruceLockland]

The A7 iii is my first Sony! Coming from Canon. LOVE!!!!

[@BradShaffer-e5h]

The a7iii is my first Sony but won't be my last! I love it!

[@xavibenjamin]

This is my first Sony camera and I’m loving it!!

[@OmarEltakrori]

nice! literally is the most feature packed camera, hope you can crush it with all it can do!

[@Marioonpoint]

Got offered a job in Orlando as a videographer. Your videos have made this transition smooth. And iThank you for that, you may never seen this iKnow this video low key old but thank you 🙏🏾

[@seaned8]

"I don't even know what that means." Great preparation. We need more videos like this.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Thanks for the great information. I bought my A7 iii about 2 months ago and I needed some really clear info about the entire camera. You did a great job. Thanks!

[@shamsbt]

woww super helpfuul i feel like i undferstand my camera a lot more now

[@UncleAlpha1]

I just order my a7iii with the sony 24-105mm F4 G. Upgrading from the a6000. Thanks for the content!

[@OmarEltakrori]

HUGE upgrade!

[@calvincurtis8648]

Great video. I found your setup suggestions very useful. One suggestion is that you slow down a bit for those of us just starting out with Sony's still complicated menu system.

[@OmarEltakrori]

you'll get there! let me know if you have any questions

[@jaerojo]

A6300 was my first sony camera, and I just picked up the a7r3. Absolutely loveeeeeeee it

[@OmarEltakrori]

debated with the riii forever, had the rii and really thought this had a tad more features that affect the outcome of the photos. riii is priced higher i believe because its weather sealed, crispier view finder and screen, etc, all are great, just doesn't affect the photos itself

[@maxrainwater]

Working on my first studio / video rig, got to borrow an A7iii! Psyched to follow along and learn these skills to full effect!!!

[@phoenixmoonacupunctureapot8571]

It's my first camera! Super nervous but grateful for your vids!

[@joshuabreenimaging7420]

Being my first Sony, my next shoot with it will be just tons of random shooting to get the feel down... Have a bunch of wedding coming up so I am STOKED to have this bad boy!!! Thanks for the video! Best set up video I've found. Appreciate it!!!!

[@OmarEltakrori]

I think this is legit THE BEST wedding camera on the market. I've done 3 weddings with it so far and can't be more pleased

[@derrickvision9547]

I just bought the Sony a7iii. Got it today. First Sony camera. I’ve been shooting gh5 for last 2-1/2 years.

[@matthewcrich5951]

Moved from a Canon 5DIII to my first Sony. First main impression, aside from stellar images, is how small the body feels in my hands. Actually causing minor cramping. Great channel. You earned a subscription

[@OmarEltakrori]

did you get used to it by now - an option would be to buy a grip to give it more body

[@merryntonizzo1521]

Just bought this camera. My first Sony:)

[@hamedsalem567]

The first Camera . It’s really beautiful

[@aabbssaarrpthn]

Got this camera today and I will be shooting some wedding ceremonies tomorrow. gotta get some sleep and I really hope the tips you gave setting up the cam, helps me. :) I know it will ;) ... 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.

[@chriscoursey6112]

This is my first sony camera

[@joshuabreenimaging7420]

Yes sir... Just picked her up!!! First sony, coming from canon.... I'm Hype so far!!!!

[@OmarEltakrori]

best camera on the market!

[@dorthehannani8928]

My first Sony - next shooting holiday in USA

[@kerenvargas6682]

my first sony camera!

[@TheClifflawson]

NICE JOB! (all caps because I mean it!) My camera just came in the mail yesterday, heading out on Friday to a youth conference in Dallas. Perfect time to try out the new machine! (coming over from a 5D Mark IV, STEEP learning curve)

[@OmarEltakrori]

steep but WORTH it TRUST

[@yolieramirez3453]

Totally my 1st Sony a7iii

[@PatriciaGarcia-pq6hk]

[@haukopkhual]

[@isaacturnerit]

Doing a video job tomorrow with this camera. Just upgraded from an a6300

[@BeauteByMerc]

This was superb👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️ new Sony a7iii owner! Thankyou

[@PhotoYo]

I brought the Sony a7iii in 2021, my first Sony

[@mull80s]

My 5th Sony Camera. A6000 - A6300 - A7S - A7Sii - A7iii. Incredible video and worth it alone for the little custom button setup to rate photos. Absolutely love that!

[@OmarEltakrori]

POWER TIP!!!

[@JamesEarlsii]

My first mirrorless.

[@JosephUdohProductions]

Hey man, I just wanted to say thanks so much. This is an incredible video. The a7iii is my first ever Sony camera and everyone said the menu is INSANE; but thanks to you it's a little less scary now. Literal Godsend. Thanks, boss.

[@rickytheshooter5265]

First sony camera thanks for the help

[@carolynbock5881]

Thanks for the fantastic tut! This a7iii is an amazeballs upgrade from my old Canon EOS Rebel t2i. Just unpacked this bad boy & headed out for late-night shoot of Geminids meteor shower & 'snowball comet' 46P!

[@OmarEltakrori]

dang! howd those photos turn out?!

[@60shots]

Dude that was amazing. Thank you. Got my A7iii today.

[@OmarEltakrori]

Thanks michael! hows the camera been going?

[@richardpcrowe]

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...

[@marcoshea4868]

Hi I'm coming from xt2 ,I have an a 6000 and a7 iii enjoyed your video thanks

[@OmarEltakrori]

we all have our first wedding! howd it go?

[@mauricio.drugama]

@@OmarEltakrori it was amazing, Omar. The camera is superb! Could handle ISO to 10,000 and 20,000. Shots came out really awesome. Thanks for asking...

[@khalil_sidi_fitness9743]

Thank you so much Omar 🙏🏾

[@narutoshippuden473]

[@OmarEltakrori]

YESSSS

[@spmimimiu]

[@anulearntech]

[@KOOMARAN]

Perfect thank you so much,😊

[@ayeoitsellias]

first sony camera was the a6300, was gonna get an a7ii/Rii but then friend said to wait for the a7iii which was most likely coming out and I just picked one up today

[@lobeoteu4713]

Just came in the mail today it’s my first DSLR

[@OmarEltakrori]

youre going to crush it! practice makes progress!

[@TechieioBlog]

Just picked up this camera to use as my primary perspective on my channel. Nice run down, and good pointer on the AEL button. A+ ;-)

[@OmarEltakrori]

thanks man, crush it!

[@TechieioBlog]

Omar Eltakrori 10-4 :-)

[@jkspinalchoice]

Good solid material!! Thank you. Sony A7iii

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

The AF area registration is by far one of the most powerful feature on the Sony when it comes to sport photography (especially useful for any sports involved with balls). How could you disregard it like that?

[@OmarEltakrori]

its the great autofocus but its just for menu start up

[@brianstoll6898]

Had a 7ii for 3 yrs. Only shoot a few hundred pic's a year so likely will not use all the options. I shoot no video. Probably overkill to buy this, but I can, so I did. Thanks for the video

[@OmarEltakrori]

BALL OUT!

[@ocistim.si123]

THANK YOU!

[@ulyssessait]

I have a budget only for this a7iii or eos R... im coming from 80D... should I pick a7 iii or eos R?

[@iwandaoud9079]

My first Sony a7iii!!!

[@cloudguru3018]

Hi Omar great video. Would you recommend this camera for weddings? Thanks

[@Levichronilstudiosinc]

Great video thanks

[@jshcstro]

Do you still recommend these same settings?

[@Zett76]

Nice reading service. 😁 I‘m in search of some explanation, though.

[@gavingardner9227]

Maybe this is a noob question, but when you are first starting to program your camera at the 2:15 mark, does it matter what setting you are on on your upper dial.

[@OmarEltakrori]

best would be to flip it onto Manual (M)

[@gavingardner9227]

Omar Eltakrori thank you!

[@HeatherTorresTV]

Nice video!! Loving the new set!!! 💯

[@OmarEltakrori]

thanks heather!

[@LivinginCharlestonSCRealEstate]

Yes this is my first camera

[@crossrevealed3563]

I'm coming from the a6000 to a7iii. Will there be a big difference in picture quality?

[@SmokinHaddock1]

Second Sony. The first one is the RX100iii. Gem of a pocket camera.

[@OmarEltakrori]

i actually use a g7x -- for some of my vloggy videos -- need to check out that rx100

[@IsaacTurnerMusic]

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?

[@mikerivera5320]

Just picked up the Sony A7III!!! I just finished setting up my camera how you have it so thanks for the tutorial. 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!!

[@OmarEltakrori]

just shot a wedding in LA with just my 55 1.8 - its doable but the zeiss 35 I found was great for just the overall day

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Great video 👊🏼⚡️💯

[@OmarEltakrori]

thanks sean!

[@regmatt]

This is my first camera , pictures were stunning by looking at your settings , my issue is the transferring the photos to iPhone. The playmemmories don't work rather there was another app which is compatible with sony image edge..but still having issues connecting , any advice to fix this ?

[@unofficialnickcantu]

Constructive Criticism: Its a pet peeve for some of us when we invest time into a tutorial and find the instructor glossing over things and saying "dont worry about this", "we wont mention" that. drives me a little crazy to not know what certain things are. I end up googling everything but yeah, otherwise, great video!

[@anushaya897]

So some of my photos come out in KB and some In MB. how do I get all of them to come out in MB? I have a Sony a7 iii What setting should I do? Am I doing something wrong?

[@LuisviCristofori]

Very helpful tutorial, thanks. I changed most of my settings the as you showed but now I can’t find how yo change my shutter speed. I can change my ISO and aperture with the scroll buttons but I can’t managed to find the other one. Any one can help please ? 🙏🏼

[@photoman5943]

This is my first sony camera.

[@GaryMcx]

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, KZbin is where your free R&D happens.

[@OmarEltakrori]

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]

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

[@chrislioo]

Hi, not sure if this has been addressed already but what were the Custom Keys settings for the film icon?

[@schneiderlincifort3037]

First Sony camera here. Bought this a year ago and I realize it’s best to learn the camera first 😓
