Sony A7iii Best Video Settings Tutorial

[@BascoGrey]

i swear it's the best explanatory video on the Sony A7iii video menu, it's direct to chit-talk, straight to the point, very clear and detailed. Sir you gained one follower today.

[@watchthisdude]

Where to begin with the compliments here? Thank you for your economy of words, your extremely high quality visual presentation, your real-world, practical examples, your lack of background music, and the thorough thinking you share with us to explain your decisions. Looking forward to watching more of your videos on this amazing camera I just purchased.

[@TechGearTalk]

I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏 Congrats on your new a7iii

[@s0ru]

well can someone help? i have the sony m7m3 and when im using XAVC S 4K i can only coose between 25p 100M and 25p 60M Firmware is updated

[@ScottGroth]

Pop in a new memory card and switch from PAL to NTSC. New memory card only because the camera will format what is in the camera.

[@CKramburglar]

One great setting, if you like single focus mode in video (which the a7iii doesn't support) is to set one of your buttons to AF/MF Control Hold. Then you just shoot in manual focus, hold down your custom button until the AF locks on, then let go and you're back in manual so your focus won't change

[@TechGearTalk]

Ooooooo, I like that a lot. Thanks Chris!

[@TechGearTalk]

⭐️ Best price for the Sony A7iii (updated!!!): Body only: geni.us/sony-a7iii (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this tutorial about my Sony A7iii video settings was helpful. I watched a lot of video and tried different setups recommended by other creators, and picked the things that worked well for me. Was it too fast? Too slow? Enough details? Not enough? Do you have some other ideas about great settings for shooting video with the A7iii?Let me know what you think!! I am grateful in advance 🙏

[@brindleberryacres]

I was wondering how to get the animal eye to work while using video. I have the A92 but I think they're pretty similar. I changed some of my settings today as per your video and I'm getting there. Still lots to learn.

[@MR-Media76]

Best and detailed video ever for video settings🤩

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!

[@Cachua15]

Thanks gonna rewatch this when I have my camera and try some of these out.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hope it’s helpful

[@brianringo]

Good info. The EVF sensor can be easily switched off by pulling the screen away slightly. I typically pull the top of the screen away just a tiny bit to make sure the sensor doesn't cause any problems.

Great and informative video! I've owned my A7III for over a year now and had never taken the time to learn about all of these features and shortcuts! Keep making these awesome videos!

[@TechGearTalk]

Super glad it was useful Ben and welcome to the channel if this is your first time 👊 Appreciate the kind words.

[@OutdoorNat]

How do you delete and add new functions? I wasn't sure how to do this and wasn't covered in the video

[@ESGRell]

Nice video quick question should I record videos in movie mode for best results?

[@bertsteenbergen6729]

I have watched videos from you before, but only now I see and appreciate the excellent quality and high density of information contained. Many many thanks, your videos are really helpful and very well presented. Regards Bert

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you so much Bert - I appreciate the kind words and support!

[@thereelthing]

Great video! Thank you so much for your time. I only have one question though... How did you access the 'functions menu' (16:10) ??? I can't figure out how to access / update that part :/

[@Igliz1992]

imma watch this later, but the first 2 minutes when I saw how you explain it step by step I got so happy, this is my first time i buy a camera and i bought ofc sony a7 iii and these first days i got lost, so thank you

[@Veypurr1]

I think this is the best video settings tutorial video for the A7iii I have watched.

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was helpful Armando!

[@Parrmvir]

You explained it in a so easy way. You can become a good teacher bro

[@myokyawhtun]

Bought this a7III in November 2020 and I haven't shoot a single clip yet as I'm trying to figure out Sony menu and settings. My main camera is D850 and it is alot simple and easier to use for both photo and video. Your tips will be definitely helpful for me. Thank you so much.

[@the_bong_traveller3319]

I cannot explain how much helpful you have been... I was very confused... But you have made it a lot easier for me now... Love from India

[@us_tripping]

My Sony A7iii doesn't give me 24p 100M. do you have any idea why? I only have 24p 50M. Do I need to change another setting?

[@H_4ani]

I have the same problem 🥹 did you found the reason?

[@PianoPrinceOfAnime]

Hey for some reason I do not have 30p options for 4k 😅

[@RusiruRupasinghe]

Its your memory chip>Make sure that your memory supports that.

[@eveline001]

You have to select XAVC S 4K for file format to get the 24p 100M option

[@damienmilk6309]

I just bought this camera and this is the clearest, no nonsense, tutorial i have seen, thank you so much. If possible would you be able to do a video on the video frame rate settings, 24P 100M etc. I am still so confused and never sure what to use. Thanks again.

[@TechGearTalk]

Congrats Damien! I will do one, but in the meanwhile, watch this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHXWXo2wl5Wjo6c it's for a different camera, but the concepts are identical.

[@Marclee78]

Hi, when you talk about switching the from monitor to evf and saving settings you can do it. If you go to movie mode and change all the setting to how you want them ( like you do in this video) and then save them to memory 1 or 2. Then when you switch back to manual on the dial for taking photos then nothing would have changed but when you want video settings change dial to ‘1’ or ‘2’ and recall settings and it brings back video settings. I use 1 for normal video and 2 for slow mo

[@TechGearTalk]

Brilliant!!! Thanks Marc!

[@mukeshsundaram3923]

Hi Marc, I tried saving to Mem 2, but this particular setting (Finder/Monitor) seems to be independent of the memory registered settings. In fact, Finder/Monitor doesn't appear as a setting that is registered when you scroll through the saved settings. This is unfortunate.

[@TheJoejoeShow]

When I have exposure mode on manual exposure it tends to be really dark and I need to set the ISO really high to have some lightning which I think it makes it look weird. For lenses I'm using Sony FE 35mm F1.8 Mirrorless. Is that because of me? Did I make a mistake in the settings? It's my first video camera so I'm very new to this type of stuff, I bought it to film video vlogs inside a room where I just talk.
