Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏

[@Jason_Hermann]

Wow, thank you very much Terry!! I really appreciate it :) Jay

[@Jen-sj5mz]

Now I know how my mom felt like when I was showing her how to use her smart phone. 🤯😅

[@karynamyres9082]

🤣

[@acrayu6931]

exactly

[@deanhasse2484]

I love that.. can relate

[@adonisguerra6399]

😆

[@wodiberappin8624]

Exactly lmfao

[@MissUnforgettalbe]

Thank you for your tutorial, coming from a canon seeing getting a Sony was new territory but now through your video I feel more confident to go out there and shoot with my new camera 😊

[@deanhasse2484]

Just bought the A7s111 and after watching Sony's brand new tutorial streaming master class which was absolutely horrible I found your video on the a7 111 to get started on this beast, you are amazing, the video is articulate, easy to follow and xlint visuals of camera, Sony needs to hire you they are completely clueless . a pro camera that is designed to Hollywood specs should have the same level of education on the camera. You saved the day, I will watch more of your videos!

[@Jason_Hermann]

I really appreciate your kind words and I'm glad the video helped you out!! I also have several on the A7RIV which should help you out. Obviously the menu system on the A7SII is very different though.. Many more How-To VideosHere: kzbin.info/aero/PLFE32AB0363640EDF

[@KR-ei2fw]

Thank you so much! I’m a total newbie and was overwhelmed. There is so much to learn in photography and the camera and lenses are overwhelming. Not to mention composition, editing, etc.

[@CableWrestler]

How are you getting on now?

[@marianarego3560]

FINALLY A GREAT VIDEO FOR BEGINNERS!!! I've been struggling with this camera and now, after this video, I feel so much better!!! Very well explained and I am SO HAPPY (and relieved) I found this video and channel. Already subscribed and I'm watching more of your videos next! Thank you for doing this!!!!

[@SixySix704]

Can’t believe ur a beginner

[@MostDopeVisuals]

Loved this video. Very simple and straight to the point! Thank you! Just picked up mine and was super confused when first turning it on. Now I understand a lot better!

[@theequinealchemist9448]

This video was beyond helpful. I never understand what anyone else is saying when I watch these videos and I was concerned that it was going to be someone trailing off topic when I saw the video length but everything was easy to understand and ACTUALLY HELPFUL!!! Thank you!

[@jackiespatsysdavy1869]

Brilliant, this is just what i need for getting to know my new A7iii, liked, subscribed and gonna be hanging around here for a long time 😊thank you so much man 😉

[@davidlovell4390]

[@jennabyebyebye]

Appreciate this, watched the whole video and get a lot of insights for starting to use my new camera!

[@ramyaswaroop2970]

This is an amazing video for beginners! I feel so good about handling the camera now. The video is simple and clear. But my only regret is I wish you had covered the Bluetooth feature a bit and how to format the memory card as well. But I still love it!

[@TheRapidRadish]

Thank you for making this video. Extremely useful!

[@dnfree]

Great breakdown for us looking for a starter pro camera I just use my iPad to shoot for now

Very helpful video .. I’m using this camera today for the first time as a second shooter for a wedding but this was very informative. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@Barberilluminati]

Awesome Video, very helpful thanks.

[@geofftonks8960]

this is good, this is helpful, and this just makes my purchase of the A7iii perfect

[@earleyspotlight9525]

Thank you so much, you helped with the basics which I was looking for and will check out your other videos!

[@sgrams3578]

Thank You! All my life I've been a point and shoot camera user, I recently moved to where I have many opportunities for taking lasting landscape and wildlife photos. When I made the decision to buy my Sony A7S iii I knew I would be facing a steep learning curve. The past couple of days I found your help manuals, today I found this helpful video, then when you pointed out your help manuals I realized they are made by you! The manuals are excellent but this video will get me going so I can refer more to the manuals. It seems there are many similarities between the cameras.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you for the kind words and yes all the Sony cameras work basically the same with the exception of the new Sony A7S III which has an all new menu system. The camera still works the same, but finding the settings is totally different due to the new menu system.

[@onyxpenguin4210]

Thank you, sir! Extremely helpful.

[@jordirtwl3446]

Great stuff man thanks for the guide

[@DallasThornton]

Great stuff, thank you!

[@invi_carlos]

I can not thank you enough. This just made this dense menu system so much clearer. After watching this, I can't seem why anyone would complain about the menu. Camera is amazing.

[@owenvandromme5949]

ur video is way more clear than the other ones i've watched thank you so much

[@robertloonstyn5085]

Thanks picked one up yesterday and this video so helpful

[@sushmitabhandari7901]

Thank you Very good video for beginner like me

[@MikeMariscal]

Mr. Herman, I just bought one and this video is bad ass

[@bewitched5717]

Literally words can’t sum up how much I appreciate this video. Thank you!

[@Jason_Hermann]

I'm really glad my video helped you out :)

[@scholasticarebello5386]

Jay, you were fantastic. This Vedio is going to help a lot of people.

[@Bensinkvitto]

Really liked the walk-through. Clear and also pointed out stuff with the buttons at the beginning of the video. Way better than Jared Polins "beginners guide".

[@jennybledsoe1574]

Great video! Just bought the A7 III after many years with a Nikon. This video is a great crash course for getting started with the Sony.

[@xocnibor]

Great video; I'm a Canon shooter and will use an a7-lll Friday. You provided me with what I need to get going with my shoot. Thanks!

[@masuda316]

Thank you! Very helpful video!

[@pf4773]

Thanks so much. Yes. Resetting camera may work. Thanks!

[@shotbysurfwreck4421]

Just got my A7iii so thank you for the help. definitely had to get an SD card compatible

[@parvenufilms5911]

I don’t even have this camera, but I’m watching this for the day I get myself a Sony a 7iii, I’ll be ready

[@gauravgangurde1610]

I am also doing this. To be future proof.

[@cjstennosphotography8932]

Update. Do you have the song a7iii

[@hjones451]

My Sony A7 iii and 90mm Macro f2.8 are a wicked combination - Watch out flickr, I'm on a mission! Hope the Bug World are preparing their poses.

[@2Oscar1]

@@cjstennosphotography8932 No… but I think a photography business is about to begin with just my phone..

Very nice review!

[@karynamyres9082]

Thank you! This video is great 💜

[@danfinan]

Really helpful Jay, thank you!

[@PaulFernyhough]

thank you for a very clear and informative video - I have just moved to Sony A73 from Panasonic G9 and this really helps me insert myself into the rather complex world of Sony menus and ergonomics. On many other sites the reviewers just get a bit too excited and wrapped up in the Sony universe and assume all listeners know the basic stuff. Much appreciated - now I can take some pictures and wont delete them by accident!
