Yo! So I totally forgot to include the Function Menu in this video-- In there I have My Zebras, Grid lines, and Steady shot Adjustment for manual lenses. You can grab all my camera settings for free and mess with them yourself. I may include this in a follow up video as my workflow for Zebras is a bit different from what you've seen before.

literally watched all of your videos for my Sony A7 III! I recently upgraded to a Sony A7S III, and I'm STOKED that you have a cinematic functions setup for the A7S III as well! Keep up the awesome content dude!

[@yaldashahidi5415]

I keep watching this over and over. I've gone through many videos on Sony A7Siii camera and this video is by far the best! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining everything to the point! Amazing!!

[@neilryan529]

Configured my A7III to the previous video you did and it was AWESOME. There are a lot of super great tips on this video that I'll be pulling from. Thanks Josh!

Easily one of the most useful videos for the a7siii, thanks man!

I still use your first setup for the pervious generation. It held up very good to this day.

I don't even own a Sony camera but I still enjoy just watching you do your thing! You are an inspiration. Thanks!

Super useful video! Love the AF Transition Speed idea - nice to have on the lens.

[@xambone712]

This is the most awesome video I have ever seen. It makes me feel comfortable by all your detailed explanation. I hope I have the money to buy this stuff and to try it out!

[@theboytheycalljonny1]

Amazing. Thanks so much!

[@ShafreelCosmos]

Fantastic video! I was wondering if you ever had issues with the auto touch tracking just stop working? I have this happen pretty much every time I shoot and the only way I can get it to function again is by powering off the camera and powering it back on. Thank you.

[@jbrogdon1]

Great video! I have recently transitioned from a Lumix GH5 setup to the A7SIII. I shoot solo KZbin stuff mostly and love the idea of toggling the Af/MF with the remote set to garbage can. I am usinng the Sony RMT-DSLR2 and cannot get the garbage can button to swap between AF/MF even though the button on the camera is set to that. If I use the playback feature on the remote it will allow me to delete footage, but that's not really valuable to me. I am curious if you ran into that and if you have any workarounds? Thanks! Love the channel.

[@CariveProductions]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@JoelPurnell]

Great video as always! Thanks. Have you noticed on your A7siii that the image in the EVF jitters just in the HD and 4K S-I codecs? Absolutely fine on everything else. Just wondering if you’ve encountered this or it’s just my unit.. Hope you’re well!

[@JDProductionspresents]

Great video! My recall camara setting in movie mode, is grayed out when I try to set them. Any ideas why? Also can we not do Manuel on the 1,2 and 3 slots?

[@JoelPurnell]

Hi. Do you get a jittery image on the A7SIII EVF when filming in the 4K S-I 10bit codec. It literally only occurs with this specific codec and is totally smooth with no issues in all other codecs. Main screen is smooth, just the EVF view. I’ve got the latest firmware, reset the camera and tried different lenses with the various stabilisations turn on and off. Wondering if this is just my unit or a more common problem nobody is talking about? Thanks.

[@jawadfiza]

Was Missing your video.... THank God your Back..... Rock on Josh......

[@monolithpoem]

Great video and super helpful. Always inspiring! I just shot and posted my first FX3 video :)

[@EETSTHECREATOR]

I fugging LOVE this camera

[@Whaever_1981]

Excellent, thanks. I have programmed my A7SIII in a quite similar way to yours. Switching the transition speeds with the focus hold button on the lens is a great idea I had not thought of though! One bummer, about switching the record button to the shutter (which I've done too on the very first day of getting the camera :P) is that the record button on the kondor blue handle will no more initiate recording but whatever has been assigned to the A7SIII record mode button. So basically, I don't use the button on the handle. Love the kondor blue cage!!!

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yes very true! I was going to include that bit in the video but I misplaced the trigger cable. But the truth is as cool as the trigger is, I rarely use that. Most my work is on gimbals it's on tripods these days

[@ACDC.]

God bles u! I will try to swich all this config to my FX3 🙏🏽

[@skymakai]

This should be stickied in all the Facebook and Reddit pages about the A7s3! On another note, I’m able to edit HEVC-HS on my Intel 2020 iMac. I think it’s the T2 chop that decodes it.

[@MrBobbydurston]

I tried many of the settings in the video including assigning movie record to the shutter button except I prefer it at its original spot on the red movie button. When I try to re assign it, I can't for the life of me find the "Movie Button" option in any of the menu fields. Any ideas, short of doing a factory reset?

[@michaelpoczynek]

The A7Siii is an awesome camera! 😀

[@eware3000]

I primarily use a BM 6K. Since I don't us the A7S3 often, it's like OMG, how do I use this damn camera? I forget whats programmed to what and where is Everything. Does the Sony Cinema cameras FX6, 9, or 3 have these types of menus as well?

[@eamonshields2754]

Awesome Stuff

[@visualsbyave7348]

Thanks needed this. Can’t ever figure out what to assign where.

[@Hindsight101]

Thank you

[@Laysonmusic]

is your go to record setting 1/100 shutter and 50fps? Isnt the most cinematic 1/50 and a 25fps? Curious to know more than anything! Thanks

[@artistandcamera3245]

Dayum. Wish I could do that with my Nikon!

[@Th3DaRkDemon]

What lighting do you use for your videos? led? with diffuser or direct? bounced back?

[@STARSCAN_de]

Covering all these settings in such a #shorts period of time is absolutely insane! Thanks so much! 💯🙏

[@DanielSilva-te1ww]

Thank you sir!

[@PopGunEnt]

the thumbnail for this said FX3 as well. are all of these settings transferable to that camera as well?

[@Smokey_films]

thankyou!

[@TheusDjehuty]

Bro! Thanks this is a 🛟💪🏾💯

[@kenmey1516]

Thanks for the great video

[@yetanotherfilmchannel5766]

And I thought I had a good set up :o the frame rate dial change and auto focus shortcuts are such a game changer. I do have a question for you though! The aspect ratio guidelines. Is there anyway to import 1:1 and 9:16? There's only one useful one they give you and it's pretty annoying -_- Anyways great video! Definitey implementing a few of these 🙏

[@Slappysurfer]

This is awsome

[@tobydz]

SOUP-ER informative vid & great prod quality. Been using BMD for film & finally grabbed an A7sIII for B cam / stills and I love it, but it's completely unfamiliar territory. Sub'd! Cheers!

[@chaseskaters]

I’m looking for a cage I can attach handle vertically. Is there an option on this cage to do so?

[@stereothrilla8374]

Cool! Now my camera is identical to yours and I have no idea how to use it!😂😂😂

[@garrettgoerlvisuals]

who makes the counterweights that you're using for the gimbal plate?

[@maxlasater]

is my 16-35 lends too much of a distortion? if so is there a lends that's affordable that I should get?

[@mitchmedmedia5386]

Definitely bookmarking this one. Thank you! Also, what happened to that knuckle?! 😳

[@AhmadFPV]

Hey, Do you think the ZVE1 better than the A7sIII? If the A7s3 is $600 more, would you get it over the ZVE1? Thanks for the details settings

[@ekphotography]

Thanks brother!! I have the FX3, but can use most of your settings... Anybody know if I can load the A7sIII setting into an FX3?

[@ACDC.]

I have the same question!!

[@balubalaji9956]

Thanks, getting a camera for sme video journey ideas, will try to ... had to watch the 123 save 5 times as your scar reminded of mine on the other knuckle, paced out down the memory lane :D what happened?

[@gurugamer8632]

How I can use Timecode to sync three Sony A7S III cameras? I also will be using Zoom H6?

[@Emiliotakas]

Yo...Do you have any tip for the white balance when we need to have it auto? any settings that we could change as it doesnt seem to catch the correct auto white balance by default?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

So generally use auto all the time. The only times that I don't, are when I'm shooting log and need the kelvin to match a color grade. Ex: I'm shooting outdoors and the light is changing the grade I use works best with 5600k. Instead of using white balance for that which it will probably get close, I will switch to daylight 5600k preset and that way I know my color grade will match across the board. The other example I showed in the vidoe, has to do with metering settings that are just not worth me messing around with, easier to switch all cameras to 4200k for my studio shoots.

[@Emiliotakas]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Thank you for that. So I saw a video where they mention to change the auto white balance from std to white and then tweak the settings to B1 - M1. I haven't tried it yet, so I thought you might have messed with these settings as well. There is only one way to find out :) Stay safe and strong you and the family my friend!

[@backpackpaul2431]

I recently discovered the AWB Lock function on the a7siii. Opened up a new world for me. No WB shifting while recording. Maybe something for you as well?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Yeah that's good one! It's helpful for changing scenes but for metering you need kelvin or changing the metering settings.

[@gurugamer8632]

Which is the best AF setting for A7S III video work ?

[@rebellionpapi]

nice

[@jamesgaudet]

Can you save settings on an A7siii and upload them to an A7iv?

[@felixfrank2669]

F, this was perfect!

[@creativcluster]

Good video guide thanks, just one thing my understanding is auto focus hold just holds the focus on a subject regardless in another subject comes into frame.

[@heribudiSantoso]

Hello i wanna ask you, why can't i connect my smartphone with a7s3, have you experienced it? Previously it could, but suddenly it can't, is there a solution? oh yes my firmware is still 1.0 I haven't updated

[@Justwantpeacelove]

how would these setting work for sony a7riii

[@fps_juvan]

Hey Josh, I used most of your very handful buttons mapping (such a life saver mappings), I even bought the same remote you have... but there is one thing I can't get it to work. The trash button on remote doesn't change the AF/MF. I did set the trash button on the camera to toggle the AF/MF. At first I thought that the remote button isn't working, but if I go in to play mode, it does work and I can delete footage with the trash button on remote. I just can't figure it out. Was it anything else that you did to make it work? It would be very helpful, because I do a lot of self-shooting too and locking the focus remotely would be amazing. Keep up the great work! Regards.

[@fps_juvan]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Damn, didn't even think of that. I hooked to right arrow and it works now. Thx! I also use the monitor+ app for a while now... it really depends on the type of work I use one or another. I like the choices. This has really became the perfect camera I was waiting for it for a decade. Regards!

[@mealticketraceway]

Iiiiiiiii wish you could be here to video shoot my MTRaceway races

[@raivanhall]

Great tips! Quick question- What version of the Sony a7siii firmware are you using? I'm on version 2.01 and I cannot for the life of me find the interval shoot function (regardless of whether I'm in S&Q mode or video mode).

[@raivanhall]

Nevermind! I finally found it :)

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

I'm on V2.0. Btw. I'm curious if my settings that you can download and load will work on later versions. My guess is yes but not sure. Have you tried loading my settings?

[@raivanhall]

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL thanks for the reply Josh. I got it to work by turning the dial to Manual mode. Keep doing your thing! The inspiration you seem to conjure is real. Peace bro.

[@tariniprasad7318]

In India. Got a free A7S3 from Japan...spent a few hours navigating japanese language. But this cam is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TaylorMoore4K]

That was mildly helpful. *Brain exploding clip one last time*

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Phwaaaaaaa......

[@Finite-Tuning]

I just live on my Panasonic G9, it feels like a good place to live anyway. I'd love to get my hands on the A7s3 but I feel like the G9 already complicates my life well enough.... Crap that I don't use, or can't remember what it is or what it does or where I put this icon in what menu and for what button was all that noise again? Just don't feel like I need any more than my G9, which I love by the way. It's a hard yes just buy it, when on sale for a grand or less! Quick question: when you import your 4.2.2 video, do you convert it to another format before editing or will Davinci handle this natively out of camera? Forgive me, I don't use Davinci but rather Vegas pro for my NLE of choice. Cheers man 🍻.

[@smepable]

Resolve can only handle 10bit 422 in Studio Version. If you dont want to pay then use Shotcut it eats almost any codec

[@Finite-Tuning]

@@smepable: If I wasn't already so invested in Vegas I'd consider the switch. I just looked it up and it seems like very capable software. Cheers 🍻.

[@chipper1001]

Do you make any adjustments to SLOG3 settings or do you just shoot it as is?

[@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL]

Shoot as is. It's all in the exposure and white balance.

If you transcode the 10b 120p to Prores HQ with Media Encoder it edits smooth IME

[@bigzeromike]

As many of the a7Siii videos I've seen it never dawned on me that 1080/240 is ONLY available in S&Q mode; i.e. NO audio. Your words made me wonder and a little further research seems to support this. Likely not a big deal since if you are going for that heavy of a slow motion you won't be using the audio anyway...

[@pablochacon6768]

But how do you expose if you are outside and film while walking around. And ur multimeter is like really jumping up and down multiple stops all the time? Pls someone help!

[@TerriblyCinemaddict]

He mentions it in the beginning, but if you are trying to keep up and forgot: some of the settings will only appear if in manual mode. Switch from Movie mode to Manual and Back again after adding. This stumped me for a little bit haha.

[@gurugamer8632]

What would you shoot with 3 x Sony A7S III bodies ?
