You’re the reason why I purchased the A7iii, I’ve been in love with it ever since. Your tutorials helps soooooooo much

[@edwardblackmon9659]

Manny, I know this is 3 years old but I just purchased the Sony A7R III and this tutorial helps me out. Thank you!

[@DavidNBeasleyJr]

Your wife is so beautiful but also so funny. You guys are a great match. Love how your focus on multiple brands, equipment and software while providing real live perspectives. Keep it moving Bro.

David N. Beasley Jr. multiple brands? Bruh always in Guess apparel 😂

First time commenting on any KZbin video ! Influenced my A7iii purchase ! Love the vids !! (also I love Capture One ;) )

Thanks for adding that BTS part at the end. It's nice knowing that things aren't all seamless and peachy when making a video and that you have to do multiple takes to get things right, and also to have fun with it.

The A6000’s have great autofocus features, something I miss so much when I got the A7II. Can’t wait to get the A7III

[@StandardYoutuberExcellent]

I first had the A7II as well. It's night and day difference with A7III autofocus. There is eyeaf on A7II if you map it to a button. I didn't know that for the longest.

[@oneleggedlifter7660]

@@StandardKZbinrExcellent is that really? I've got the A7ii and the camera store told me it does have eye af, i have tried to set it to a button but i can't select it, it always says it does not work with this lens, and i have tried multiple lenses

[@mjrich6572]

me 2 i upgraded from the same to the same.

[@lougravessr1215]

After shooting Nikon for the past 20 years, I switched over to the Sony camera system at the beginning of April. I was playing around with my Sony A7 iii at a wedding and ran into this same issue. The camera was focusing all over the place, and I did not understand what was happening. I am already a subscriber of yours and knew somewhere on your channel you provided us with the content on this problem. I’ve changed my setting to yours, and I’m off and running. Thanks.

[@BigBaoSmallBao]

@mannyortiz There's an easier way to do this. Set your camera to af-c and flexible spot with back button af then map the ael button to af-on plus register af (af-c plus wide). This way af-on is flexible spot and ael is af-c plus wide. No more changing af points but just 2 buttons that controls both.

[@Lionrisesproductions]

I love the fact that your wife is so supportive. I was just telling my girl how appreciative I am that she supports my passion. So kudos to you guys.

[@britneysharp4167]

Thanks for sharing Manny and Diana! You guys have inspired me to go Sony! I’ve been watching your videos to help me prepare for the switch! Great work!

The love you have for photography ( not just Sony) but all Art. I will continue to follow your work. I learn a lot from your videos. Just a question, can you do more Nikon ideas...lol

[@Ssdake]

Its probably hard when Manny shoots Sony. Dont wanna sound like negative whining asshole but id suggest you to get learn how your camera works and get used to it. I shoot with Nikon d7200 and man, i wish the body could do more, since i love to shoot in low light (alot in the night time) and the 1 stop from more from fullframe sensor would give me so much more. Cant afford better camera atm so got to work with that!

[@mattreyes79]

This is actually a great tip. I’ve had some issues in low light conditions losing the eye and I lose all focus on the area I want to focus on because of that WIDE setting. I’ll have to try this out. Looks like it will help me at least move to the area I want to focus on rather than depending on the camera and waiting on it to decide. Thanks Manny. Appreciate the tip. - #ShootDopePics

[@NosUnlimited]

Even though I didn't ask this question, I'm glad you posted it because it was something i was worrying about with regards to grabbing proper focus in those situations

[@basilclunie8047]

Glad you 'read out' the difference in using flexible spot rather than wide for shots where the eye is not in view. Few have noted that the little boxes are actually focusing on the nearest point; actually, answering this question was important for us who have the tracking focus in one camera, but not in the A7 III (Sorry, Diana.)

[@Gordonlanguam]

I’m glad you decided to make this video even though nobody asked for it

Great info been wanting to have a travel camera other then my APS-C Fuji. I bought an A7ii and wasn’t impressed at all by the auto focus it was awful honestly. The lack of joystick was a bummer too. I am humoring trying the A7iii to have a full frame walk around camera that’s the size of a Fuji. Tell her this was EXACTLY the video I needed to sway me to try the A7iii as a contender! Thanks dude!

Manny, tell Diana that you are so attuned to your viewers needs that you just know what we want to watch! Thanks for clearly explaining the best autofocus settings now that we have updated our Sony cameras with the latest firmware. I am feeling the need to go back and revisit all my in camera settings to see if they are still optimal. A quick tutorial on A7iii/riii in-camera menu settings in 2019 might be very helpful ( I am asking you, Diana, ha,ha!)
