Sony A7 III - Beginners Guide, How-To Use the Camera

[@terryanthony5323]

Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏

[@Jason_Hermann]

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

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

[@wodiberappin8624]

Exactly lmfao

[@GumGuerreiro]

wow, that should be listed as the official guide for this camera! Thank you a lot man!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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

[@raymondmercado5637]

I watched another dudes video on how to set it up he disregarded the fact that there's noobs that are trying to learn all the functions of the camera. I applaud you for not ignoring that fact.

[@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

[@Piyush_Goyal]

Bought for around how much ?

[@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?

[@Karukell]

I never comment. Ever. But this was SO helpful. Got my camera yesterday and was so overwhelmed but now I feel like I actually understand how and WHY things work. The best tutorial I've seen in a long time on any subject, thank you so so much!

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome Helin :)

[@pf4773]

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

[@mohxzh4741]

Thank you, God, for having such a person in our lives. How grateful I am to you, I swear to you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bobzukowski]

Your videos complement the Sony Help Guide perfectly! Like many others, you may understand the fundamentals but you have to know how to navigate through the menu's and settings of the a7III. This is why many people give up on their higher end cameras. Your videos helped me get up to speed so I can now take some decent photos rather than leaving the camera in Auto or Program Mode. Keep it up and thank you!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TajuAlim]

I’ve never used a camera before in my life. I’m a screenwriter and have finally decided to purchase this camera to begin shooting projects. This video is exactly what I needed... Thank you for the basic breakdown! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear and thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@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 😊

[@jmdpo17]

I've had this camera for 3 years... mostly to record video. Now using it more for pics and wow what a quick easy description of use. Thnx

[@bonynge5]

Great video. Helped me a lot as I'm looking to buy this camera. I know it's old but, it will do what I want.

[@paulstoyles117]

Hey man. Thank you. This is the best beginners guide and exactly what I was looking for.

[@Jason_Hermann]

[@codexena1]

I just upgraded from my phone to this. WOW as you noted the menu system is insane with lots of options. Thank you for this basic start. Will be watching our other videos on this camara.

[@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.

[@fesya]

Thank you very much! Exactly what I needed. I went from Canon to Sony and feel a bit intimidated by the zillion of setting options. :-)

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!

[@NObodDEE]

I just purchased this camera and you will be my mentor 🙏

[@marlalinton7994]

Thank you so much for the crash course video on my new camera! Much appreciated!

[@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!

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

Jay SonyAlphaLab As a newbie , I want to learn how to make videos from the A7III! And I want to say thank you for providing such simple and clear “guide”! I am following you on the instagram too!

[@someguyO2W]

This video is exactly what I needed.

[@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".

[@owenvandromme5949]

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

[@eelmakde]

Thank you so much! When I saw all the buttons my brain just about melted! Still not sure about some of them but a BIG start!

You really have a talent for explanation. Clear and articulate. Almost made me want to get the A7III, but I'm gonna wait for the A7IV. At least till 2022.

[@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.

Still a little confused on auto and P, I def want to shoot raw and then use a filter on Lightroom. This is my very first camera and feel that the auto setting will be best for me for a while. Thank you again!

[@paulm8157]

Quick tip. Lens dot/body cap marker can also align with the sensor plane marker on topside of camera body - easier to see sometimes than lens flange dot. “Dots” all for now. (Sorry.) Keep hot shoe cover in place when no flash is attached to avoid accidentally shorting out the electrical contacts. EVF diopter wheel adjustment should have been included - in case info around image in evf does not appear sharp.

Welcome 😊

[@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!

I was using Nikon in the 70s & 80s, Canon 90s to about 2020, Now --> definitely Sony mirrorless! A lot to learn for understanding a entirely new Menu system. You have to somehow "make the decision" and go through the financial pain going from Canon to Sony, but they are definitely leading the industry in technology.
