Sony A7 III Tutorial - Aperture, Shutter Speed, Manual Mode & Bulb Mode

[@cdp9m]

Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

[@Jason_Hermann]

Wow, thanks Doug!!

[@liliankuhn4671]

I have to send him money. I got this camera as a gift & I couldn't figure out how to use it because the Sony manual sucks & doesn't explain how to change the f-stop, etc.

[@slow_start]

do you know how unbelievably difficult it was to find someone on youtube that explains this?

[@Jason_Hermann]

lol, Thank you for the comments :) When I made this video I had that exact thought in mind. The very basic fundamentals are not often shared in reviews and are really key to understanding photography in general. Once you know these basics, you can really start to explore and expand your photography skills in multiple directions. I'm really glad the video helped you out!!

[@AshleySmiththerealone]

and explain it so incredibly easily and well? I hear you!!

[@NeilMcCoyWard]

Yeah was thinking the same thing

[@jonnybrooks1990]

EXACTLY! I was just about to say the same thing! Great Video.

[@Jason_Hermann]

@@jonnybrooks1990 Thank you Jonny :)

[@fredrn729]

Dude let me say this so that everyone understands. Everyone expects people to be an expert with this camera, but your teaching style is just perfect!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you very much Fred :)

[@sane7570]

This is how every tutorial on youtube should’ve been made🙏

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you!

[@bethcarney5274]

I have watched no less than a dozen tutorials for this particular camera. By far, the most comprehensive and understandable. Thank you!

[@Drumming_Monkey]

I feel like SUCH a jerk right now. I come from Canon cameras and the 7 III I bought two days ago is my first Sony. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to change aperture in M mode until I saw your video. I can't believe I didn't realize the dial was there in front. God, I feel stupid right now. Thanks man, you helped me a lot.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks for sharing, and new camera systems are very awkward to use at first, so don't feel bad ;) It happens to the best of us!

[@arentzmenard4574]

Literally me too dude

[@Drumming_Monkey]

@@arentzmenard4574 haha, glad I'm not the only one. Cheers.

[@steliosantoniou]

you are the only one that succeeded to make me understand how to shoot photo! thank you

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear and I'm really glad the video helped you out :)

[@DavidWFarman]

Stelios Antoniou, Same here, i bought A Sony A7 as my first good camera, i am a hopeless photographer, but Jay demonstrated it so well, it made me understand so much more.

[@annaondara3021]

Me too!!!!!

[@jerzs1363]

Haha same here

[@KK-qd4ti]

Can't agree more, you are the best at explaning this. I have so confused all this time! Thank you so much for this video!!

[@rus3781]

This is the best video on this topic

[@ralton5399]

i just learned the whole semester of photography 101 for like 18 min in this video. thank you so much

[@Jason_Hermann]

That's awesome and I'm really glad to hear it ;) Thank you!

[@asherlal8227]

I just bought sony a7r 3 recently and this video help me understand all 3 mode very precisely thanks

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear and thanks for the comments Asher ;)

[@don2672]

I'm so mad I'm now finding this video. This was the best video ever!!!!....Like you explained the basics of photography and how to use the camera so perfectly and easy to understand all in about 19 minutes. WOW. I learned so much it's crazy. I know this is years late but seriously thank you for the time and effort that you put into this video.

[@lumineuse1987]

There are tons of videos out there explaining what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are, but none that explain the relationship between all three of them as well as you do. THANK YOU!

[@mitp2514]

Found your video by accident looking for tutorials.. You are the best KZbinr out there who made it simple and easy to understand for a beginner in the dslr world.. Great job..

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you very much for the super kind comments and it was my pleasure :)

[@GetonPar]

Jay your video is really helping me. I know you made the video in 2018 but it is still relevant in 2020 it is helping me to get better videos from the sony ZV-1. keep up the good work its appreciated all the way here in the UK!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear, and be sure to check out the How-To Videos playlist on my channel, because as you said the non ZV-1 videos are pretty much all relevant as the Sony cameras work the same... kzbin.info/aero/PLFE32AB0363640EDF

[@drickzee]

The gods of KZbin have indeed blessed me today with this gold. Thank you!!

[@Jason_Hermann]

What a great comment to read, Thank you :)

Thanks!

[@deborahfaithtoledo276]

Just want to say you’re a gem. Totally a newbie here and I understood your tutorial. Thank you😊

[@mirellayzaguirre6217]

I was at the verge of crying because I did not understand the relation of the three elements of exposure. You do not know how much you helped me, THANK YOU SO MUCH! God bless you always!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad it was helpful :)

[@gerard2239]

Dude, total novice here. I learned so much in these 18 minutes! This vid is fantastic.

Glad it was helpful Gerard :)

[@theosilva7188]

Yes please keep teaching me. I am a amateur. I love photography. I got a sony A7III. Thank you ❤❤

[@HelenNorton]

My Goodness. THANK YOU... the first and only video that actually worked! Years of confusion all gone! WOW

[@azycloud-qh6ox]

This is by far one of the best explanations for the basics on this camera and I’ve been looking on KZbin for a good while💌

[@catherineduenas4532]

saaaaaame!

[@danilmelnik7420]

Hey Jay, I came here to check out the Sony-specific settings and ended up understanding ISO/ShutterSpeed/Aperture better than ever before, despite already having watched ten of videos on the subject! Thanks a lot! I finally get everything! :D

[@Jason_Hermann]

That is awesome Dan and thank you for taking the time to leave such as a nice comment ;)

[@livelikekings8968]

I have saved this video and shared with my partner as we are both learning photography. I’ve searched everywhere and this is by far the most common sense practical approach.

[@Jason_Hermann]

I'm really happy to hear the video helped you guys out! Thanks for the comments and have a good day ;)

[@troybagleynvrgu]

Brand new photographer and this video is the ONLY one that explains the camera simply and how all the modes work.. THANK YOU!!

[@KayThira]

I just bought a a7iii for my very first camera. This 18 minute video just taught me very thing I was trying to learn as I went through the manual. Thanks for the great video.

[@user-qn8ko1mi6l]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I have been taking pictures with a Sony bridge camera for the past 10 years and just recently upgraded to the Sony A7 iii. I now have the goal of not using full auto mode anymore so I greatly appreciate all your helpful tips. I also appreciate how succinct you are about delivering the information - no huge history lesson on the evolution of the Sony camera. I will definitely look up more of your videos. 👍🏻

[@davebailey2584]

Excellent presentation for beginners or new Sony purchasers.... visually you were able to see where your fingers are touching the dials...good job...

[@drekays2583]

Aaaaaaaaye! This was unbelievably helpful! I love photography and just about understood my way around my camera! After 7 months of trial and error and “just going out and shooting” you just made everything crystal clear .. never thought I’d say that!

[@Jason_Hermann]

That is awesome to hear :) Thanks for sharing and have a good one, Jay

[@Exile8oh8]

I just got my Sony A7 III today and I am completely brand new to owning a camera and this was extremely extremely extremely helpful thank you so much

You're very welcome!

[@tinalucarelli2298]

You are THE camera teacher! The right amount of info at the perfect speed. Easy to follow and understand. Jason soothing voice kept me in the moment.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks! 😃

[@ronalddelacruz7029]

This is the most informative video I have seen for this camera. I recently bought a Sony a 7ii and this helped me a lot. I drained my first battery juice just playing with the settings getting to know my camera. Thanks a lot.

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome!

[@Henry-ss9zq]

Thanks for this tutorial. I just purchased my first camera ever (Sony A7riii) and had no idea on how to even use the camera, I just decided to jump into it. You’d be surprised how many other vids there are that don’t explain much. Your tutorial videos are very helpful for beginners, much appreciated.

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome and thank you very much for the super kind comments Henry :)

[@Henry-ss9zq]

@@Jason_Hermann Your Welcome

[@MappingSubber]

Man the A7iii is my first camera EVER. this video just explained soooo much to me! Great. Thank you.

[@catherineduenas4532]

Wow. Wish I had found this video months ago. I am in school for photography so I totally get the aperture/shutter speed/iso connection, but being able to see someone make the adjustments on the exact camera that I have made it so much easier for me! Thank you so so much!

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome! 😊

[@liliankuhn4671]

You are a lifesaver! I can't thank you enough for making this video. Sony's manual doesn't tell us how to adjust the f-stop, shutter, etc. & I was going crazy trying to find instructions on how to do all of this. I took better pictures w/ my $89.00 Canon & they turned out pretty damn well. I live in Ct. & every day I take pictures of bear, butterflies, frogs & tiny little creatures w/ the Sony & 1 picture out of 50 were good or at least in focus. God bless you brother. You just made my day! Thanks again!

I make vlogs and was thinking to buy this camera, I was searching around and came to your video. This was the best and simple tutorial, easy to understand. Thank you...

[@anand01logic]

I am really impressed by the length of the video , Such a short time lot of things are explained very clearly Thank you

[@DrKatyaMay]

Thank you so much for explaining these basic concepts in a way that are easy to put into practice immediately. Thank you for not doing the same type of video that everyone else produced which was about what are their menu settings without explaining the basic concepts for those of us that are beginners. finding someone who is a true teacher at heart - such as yourself - can be quite challenging in the vastness of KZbin. I am so glad I found you! I look forward to working through all of your other beginner videos.
