Now I understand how was my grandma feeling when I taught her how to use her new iPhone
Tab 2, page 4: "Release without lens". When you shoot with an old manual lens with simple adapter, and there is no electronic communication from lens to body, you MUST have this setting enabled. That is, in this situation the camera thinks that there is no lens attached, and it won't shoot unless this setting is enabled.
1d
also the e-shutter makes less light in than mechanical
Good to know! Thank you.
I shoot a lot with Legacy lenses and this is an important parameter to change....
I shoot with old lenses and also with adapters, some do not communicate with the camera so this function is essential.
Finally a video by someone who either speaks well, or spends the time to remove the irritating filler words, (ah, you know, actually). You deserve to have the many viewers because you care enough to put out a quality presentation.
The one thing I wish you would have covered is how to connect to your computer using wi-fi.
Camera brands MUST pay you to ship their cameras with your user guide videos (Maybe a QR code?), this is way better than going through the ones that come with the camera.
Every time I learn something new about my camera, I feel as if I have a new camera, but really it's a new me and better photographer. Thank Fro Bro 👁🙏👁
Just received my A7iii yesterday. I love it so far!! Thank you Jared Polin for this User's Guide. There are tons of settings!
Thanks for this Jared! My a7iii finally arrived and this walkthrough helped. The menu layout is not too different from the a6000, so that's nice that there's some consistency between models. You did a great job explaining what you change and why. The why is the most important part for my purposes. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
By the way, I listened to your pod about RUclips and your channel. This is a good example of a longer video that I watched all the way through. You kept the segments short and to the point, which will keep the folks with short attention spans watching. Just my .02 thanks
Thank you ! Watched it twice, followed along with my new A7iii that I purchased after your real world review... saved me a ton of time as I’m new to higher end cameras. I watch every video and listen to raw talk and the daily fro every day... thank you again for all your hard work! You’ve educated and inspired me...
I just found Jared, what is raw talk and fro everyday? Where do I find this?
I've watched many of your videos and I've never commented below any of them, this seems like the right occasion. Thank you very much, Jared, your videos rock!
Just upgraded from A7ii, so this was a useful review. It made sense to me because it was well done and also because of my previous experience with Sony’s arcane menu system. Glad this was still available! Thanks for all you do.
I know this video is old but there's one important correction for the people looking to customize this (still) popular camera:
Long Exposure NR *does* affect RAW files. It doesn't work like other forms of noise reduction where they only apply to JPEGs. Basically, if you take a long exposure (say, 30 seconds) then some pixels may get "hot" and display as bright red or other colors. Long Exposure NR counteracts this by immediately taking an equal length, dark (shutter curtain down) exposure after your initial/real exposure. It then detects these hot pixels in the otherwise black exposure and references their location to then subtract the hot pixels from your initial exposure. This way, the camera knows that it is removing a hot pixel rather than, say, stars in a night sky.
The benefit is that your final image has faulty, bright pixels removed. It can drastically improve the quality of a long exposure photo. The downside is that your exposure takes twice as long to finish.
Thanks for this Jared, been struggling since I got mine. This is so helpful!
This is one of the most helpful videos for getting started with Sony Aiii 7. Thank you for making it. I plan on signing up for your course. Since I have been away from the photography world for a long time. Thanks Again!
Thanks for this Jared! I just picked up the A7III and this helped get the initial settings ready to go. Also, I've never commented before but have been following for a while now. Thank you for all the information you put out to the photography world!
Man you just dont know how much you have helped me with this video i got my A7iii coming soon, and now i know how to set it up and how to make changes and also customize to my liking, Great Video as always. Thanks Bro!
Dude I just bought the sony A7iii and your video was such a huge help. I have shot canon since I picked up a camera and I've decided to try the Sony out. I was so confused on the menu settings and was getting worried. However, you broke it down effortlessly that I now feel super confrontable with it and ready to take some beautiful imaginary. I have always enjoyed your videos but now I have; like, comment, subscribed, AND I have that bell on!!! Keep up the great work you freaking rock!!!!
This was by far the most helpful guide that I’ve seen on the A7iii. Thank you!
"FRO" really does know photo. I just acquired this camera and having learned so much from your commentary in other videos re Nikon and fundamentals, I was happy to find that you cover this equipment as well. I appreciate the effort you put into covering the useful information that we, your loyal viewers can rely on consistently.
Mine is ordered and I'm excited for my first full frame camera since I shot with 35 mm black and white. The a6000 that I'm currently using, will move to a backup. Thanks for all your videos. You are fun to watch and very informative.
Thank you! Just ordered the a7III - these steps were very easy to follow and start with. Who needs hours of detailed explanations from other Sony experts that make no sense or put you to sleep?
Huge thanks again. Your users guide was a huge help for me when I was getting started on my Sony A6000. Can't wait to get started shooting on my A7iii. Cheers!
Thank you. I just received my camera today. Now I have a great starting point. Your videos on Sony convinced me to purchase the A7III.
7:54 "there are 38000 pages" - I laughed so hard
Just rented this for a week - what a menu system nightmare!!! But, your video helped a lot to explain the madness, so thanks.
So much appreciated! I just ordered a Sony a7iii and while I'm used to Sony's insane menu system (been shooting Sony since 2011), this was a good run down of what's going to be on the new camera!
Just picked up my A7III and it was nice to have someone go through the menus. Keep up the great work!
I am looking at options of cameras as I am looking to take my photography and career to the next level. I appreciate the tutorial. This helps to filter through my preferences and know what the experience may be like. Thanks for the detailed tutorial.
I watched a Sony a7iii user's guide video by a renowned photographer. He spoke too fast and used fancy terms I didn't understand. It made me feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Then, I watched yours, and I felt like it makes sense. Thank you!
Thanks Jared, I could see you were nearly falling asleep due to its simplicity to you but you've helped a lot of people. This is my first camera (with the sigma 24-70mm 2.8 art). I now feel less intimidated by those menus and know where to find things, without reading the manual.
Bro, that was a marathon effort to go through all those settings. Great job! And viewers get rewarded at the end to hear your catchy byline once more.🤘
This was a huge help! I made those setting from JPEG to RAW and EXTRA FINE and most others setting as well and what a huge difference in quality. Thanks!
AT 12:50 SWT V/H af area is actually pretty cool. I turn it on and it let's you have independent focus areas for portrait and landscape orientation and it will switch automatically when using flexible spot focus so you don't have to keep joysticking back and forth.
Thank you so much Jared! As a new Sony user, this video totally helped me out.
Thanks! This was very helpful & now I’m super excited to buy mine!
FYI It is Flexible Spot Medium with the M. There is a S and L option if you go left or right that changes the size of your flexible spot. Great Video!
Great video. Received this camera for Christmas and this expedited my ability to get out and shoot with it. Extremely helpful, thank you! Subscribed.
Excellent review Jared. You did an outstanding job, thanks for your expertise
FML this was soooo helpful! Thank you! I still read the manual, but seeing it makes more sense!
Jared Polín makes the most reasonable camera videos on RUclips. This guy really deserves a TV show. Make him famous RUclips!!!
Hey Jared. Solid video on thorough menu descriptions and recommendations. Just got my A7iii and it's a steep learning curve although I've been a Nikon user for many years. It is a complicate menu and your suggestions are greatly appreciated. I just subscribed.
Also reliable videos when it comes to setting up my camera!
Purchased my first mirrorless last week. The video really helps. Love from India
This was super helpful since I recently upgraded to this from a 5Dii. Thanks!
I am using it for over a week now and I LOVE IT! I was shooting with Canon 6D, and bought this one. For the first 3 days it was really awkward, but after I use it for one week I tried the Canon 6D again and I felt light I am using some ancient piece of camera. The A7 feel super intuitive after I spend 3 or 4 hours of learning the Menu and the way it works. I absolutely love it!
me too. I have 2x Canon 6Ds. a few days with the a7iii (only taking practice shots before my first pro job with it on Saturday), and the 6D seems like an slug-like thing from yester-decade.. the a7iii basically has night vision and the AF is amazing....i think i may have to sell all my Canon gear, get a second A7iii and another lens to be honest! the f2.8 24-70 GM is great so far..
Same here and totally agree. I also tested out the very inexpensive 24-240mm Sony lens for travel. I have G lenses too but I was blown away by this lens simply used on full auto for fast shooting on a vacation. Amazing quality. Just the a7iii and one all-purpose lens ... holiday heaven for me.
I was at our local camera shop with my son and I was asking about the trade-in value of my 6D when my son asked what camera I would trade it in on. I said the Sony a7III.. He said "Father's day is coming up and I want you to have the camera you want"... so he bought it for me on the spot. Goodbye to my 6D and hello to a shiny new a7III. This video helped me to set it up and I have to say it's a phenomenal camera!!
Best user guide i could find after buying this camera two days ago! Thanks a lot
Even though I just bought myself an A7R II this video was still VERY helpful as A LOT of the menu and settings are VERY similar or even the SAME! This is my first really good camera and my first mirrorless as I had been using my mom's Nikon D90 before this and just recently scraped up enough money to buy myself this new used camera and used lens (both of MPB) and the menu was SUPER initimidating! (An it wasn't even as big as the III).I really appreciate your recommendation on what you changed and what you kept the same so now I'm thinking I'm gonna go back through and re-arrange some things! I super appreciate all of your help with the photography community!
Great video bud. I had to watch it gto find out where the grid lines were hidden. Ended up watching all your video cause it's amazing. Keep posting the good content. Cheers
Thank you for going over the outside of the camera. First day with the a7iii coming over from Canon. I needed the quick tour!
Hi Jared, I'm so glad I found this video. I just bought this camera on Saturday. I'm an amateur/hobby newborn photographer. I am investing in my future as a photographer and I went from a Canon Rebel XSI crop sensor camera that was bought used to the Sony a7 lll. I wanted a full frame camera because I was about ready to give up with cameras and just go back to using my S20 ultra cell phone only. I found exactly what I needed with this video. I will be watching a lot of your videos. On to the next one now. Thanks so much!!!
You had a hard job for new beginner who is with Sony. I just got A7C but it's hard to set or use this new one. I learned a lot of this function. Thank you Jared!!
Great all around basic video. Just what I needed after leaving Canon and coming to Sony. Keep up the great work Jared! Its appreciated.
I just purchased the Sony a7iii and appreciate the complete walk through. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for such a detailed video and I also agreed, you spoked so well and explained the menus well too. So much better than reading the manual. Thanks again.
Thanks for making the billion menu pages really straight forward - appreciate it!
Great video Jared, i really enjoyed it and it helped me a lot i just bought the camera and watching all your tips has given me some extra confidence in using it!
Excellent video. Thank you. I just received my a7 iii yesterday, and I am enjoying it very much!
Hi Jared. I just want to take the time to thank you for the incredible service that you provide for both amateur and professional photographers. I just recently discovered your RUclips page. I recently returned from an Alaskan cruise vacation, where I used my Samsung s10+ for video shooting and my daughter's Canon Rebel XS for stills. I didn't realize how generic that camera was until I compared the shots with my cell phone pics. I used to be in the photo game some 30+ film years ago, using Canon AE-1 (which I still have, boxed away somewhere), but I had to get out of the game because I am also a professional musician and couldn't keep up with both "hobbies'. Anyway, after looking at my Rebel XS photos, I've decided I need to invest in a good up to date system and get back into the game. So I've been watching your channel. Probably watched 20 or more videos and now narrowing it down to which camera system I want. Although I really wanted to like and stay with Canon ( the EOS R or RP), this Sony A7 III is probably the one I will go with. It's a little more than I wanted to invest right now, but, I think I won't have to invest in another camera for at least a couple years or more. I won't be shooting professionally. I really appreciate your video reviews. They are very informative, lively, no BS, not pushing one brand over another, simply stating the realistic facts. I just watched a review of this A7 III from another RUclips channel. It was so dry and dull that if I had seen that RUclips review first, I may not have bought ANY camera at all! Anyway , thanks a lot. Once I'm back into the game, I'll be sure to invest in some of your videos and photography programs. Thanks.
Also: I just read through a couple of comments below. Now I see where that word "haters" comes from. If they could do it better they'd have their own RUclips channel and wouldn't be depending on your reviews. Geez!
Keep up the good work Jared!
If there was ever a RUclips video I found, watched the whole thing, was very informative, and actually had helpful information; this would be it.
Brilliant info'... I have the A7rIII and you have explained the menu for as much as I need to know..... I will run through it all again.. with the camera active.
Thanks.. from Dj.
Thanks Jared this helped a lot! the menus are nuts so but I'm glad you cleared up some stuff for me.
Really good advice, thank you! Had an issue with formatting cards (couldn’t find the option) and you sorted it for me.
This video helped me out a ton! Thank you! Just switched from Canon.
This is my second time watching this because I am still learning this darn camera. lol Again, great job.
Finally got my Sony A7 III yesterday. It is amazing!
Thanks for the detailed info on the camera. Rented it for a project and this helped a ton! Thanks fro
Great video thanks, had this camera a few days now and getting to know how things work after owning Nikon’s up till now. This video has saved me hours. Love the Sony so far, definitely a good move . 👍
The 'Reg Cust Shoot Set' and 'Recall Custom hold' are very useful. You should look into it.
I’ve got my Sony a 73 a couple of days ago and will be having some fun with it shortly I’ve no doubt!
This video has just convinced me to buy this camera, love the no BS attitude, all hail king JP 🤘
Hey Jared, thanks for this. Just got my a7iii and this guide is very helpful.
Thanks bro!
By far the best guide for beginners like me, this is by far the best guide video I’ve seen for this camera !
Never cut your hair !
thanks a lot, about to collect my a73 today . your video is much appreciated. keep it up.
Moved from years of using different Canon (even a panasonic), to a Sony a7iii. Felt very lost. This was a major help. Thanks! 🙏
Thanks so much! I'm still waiting for delivery of my camera but this will make setting it up so much easier.
Most Enjoyable video Ive watched in a Long Time!! Thank You!!
Just bought a used one today.. so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Jared, this may have been a tedious video for you to record but it was incredibly helpful. Thanks.
Excellent!!! I'm researching this camera for purchase and you answer a couple of questions in my mind with this clip!!!! Many thanks!
Thank you for making this helpful video. Yours is the first video I watched to set up my new a7iii
Thanks, Jared! Just in time, I am sitting at my desk with my A7 III at the moment.
Brilliant and very helpful, used for my newly collected A7iii with 16-35 f4 today, thankyou.
This was fantastic and thorough, thank you!
I hoping to buy this exact camera this week. Thanks so much for the helpful guide
One of the best videos out there. Liked and subscribed. Thank you!
It helped me a lot. Keep up the good work Jarred. Greetings from Poland.
Found a used a7iii for half the price, gonna check it out in an hour. This was very helpful in knowing where to check what. Thanks Jared!
Thanks Fro. just got the Sony 7 III. Now I am ready to give it a test tomorrow.
Thank you so much Jared! I bought this camera the other day. I’m a Nikon shooter but I’ve heard so much about Sony A7 and the picture quality and the focus system I bought it! I hate the menu! It’s a turn off big time. Ridiculous and unnecessary junk stuff. But... the autofocus options and behaviour of the camera is impressive. The bokeh is nice. The lenses are great. So I will keep it for the time being. I hope it is the camera of my dreams. I played with it last night and the focus system seems very reliable. The menu is a put off though. I’ve left it as you recommended. I’ll just tweek the obvious items. Thanks for this helpful guide! I just couldn’t cope with the Sony menu!
Just bought a Sony a7iii...this video tutorial helps loads thankyou.
I've had a drone for a couple of years but thought I'd treat myself to a half decent camera. I'll see how I get on with it. 😃👍🏻📷
Had this camera a while but never gotten to grips with the confusing menu system so thanks for this. So many buried nuggets of functionality.
Thanks for the complete walk through of a complex camera. For new owners stepping up from much simpler cameras (mine is the NEX-7), this video is essential. Thanks also for putting things in plain English for less sophisticated users. Will you be doing a video recommending lenses and other accessories for the A7iii?
3 weeks ago I bought me the Sony A7III and I found the manual so boring that I never read it and finally you explained me a bit the camera, thanks for that. But now I need to now how to make real awesome photos.
I really appreciate this video. I still struggle at times getting my camera to do what I know it can do... your video is my goto reference.
Just bought this camera, and this was really helpful. Thanks!
Thank you! This video helped me understand my new camera quite a bit better.
Thank you for the users' guide, I found it very helpful.
This was great! Just followed it step by step to get me going. Cheers!
I thought this was very informative and also very humorous of you at some spots . As always. I didn’t mind the areas he didn’t care to explain . If I really care to know I’ll continue to learn in other videos or google. It’s not like Its wise to watch one video to learn the massive menu system anyway. I like to multiple videos to get different tips and perspectives . What Jared provides here is great. Thanks Jared
Hey Jared! Thank you so much for this.
I recently bought this from my friend and he sent me this link and I feel much better now haha.
THANK YOU!
Long time sub. Love JFro! I just bought this camera and came here first to learn how to use it. It seems like this video is more of a criticism of the menu system. I already know that Sonny‘s menu system is the most complicated. Kennneth. I am looking for a video that will mean of the Sony operating system. Sadly this wasn’t it.Keep watching for the reviews. Just like a tutorial that is more educational and helpful.
