Brilliant video as always brother! That shutter sound just hits different I know, I love it. Form sorted also 👊 keep up the great work and waiting that next video. PS: definitely keep PP off, I've done once a photo shoot and haven't realised until coming home that everything was few stops underexposed on the raw image despite being properly exposed while taking photos. Lesson learnt there definitely
Right?! Why am I like this...
Appreciate you more than you know. Thanks for your feedback with the template on this video by the way.
@@seandewispelaere anytime brother! Can't wait for that new vid to drop 👊
YES! Same thing happened to me...I was so glad once I figured it out and my camera wasn't broken (or I wasn't suddenly horrible at judging exposure)
Man this comment just saved me a lot of headache.
I am just getting into this and starting shooting in raw. Everything would be way under exposed once I moved it into light room and couldn't figure it out. Then this comment made me realize that a picture profile was some how turned on. Turned it off, now everything looks great again! Thanks a lot
THANK YOU - the setting "Different settings for still / movie" is exactly what I needed!! :) I was wasting soo much time switching back and forth
Glad it helped!
I love the sound as well, same sensor in zve1, got it recently, love it
Why did it take me so long to find this video.... so helpful. Just getting into the world of cameras and this is literally the most helpful video I have been able to find.
I've been here the whole time, where have you been? :)
Great stuff. I’ve been shooting video on my a7siii for over a year, and had almost given up on taking photos as I kept messing up all my custom settings and memory settings. This is a huge help. Many thanks. Subscribed
Love to hear it, Pat - cheers 🤙
Thank you. I really like the positivity you brought to the photography on the A7siii. Everyone is just so negative all the time! Appreciate you.
Plus that shutter sound, right... :)
Thanks Sean, I'm brand new to Sony and trying to learn the menu on a A7S3 & A7C at the same time, this makes the photo mode feel less clunky, as I'm regularly swapping between video and photo.
Nice! So happy to hear that this helped you
Amazing video, mate! Thank you so much!
Thanks for checking it out, Paulo
Diggin’ your work man! Just got my A7Siii this last week and learned a lot from people like Potato Jet and Dunna, but you are definitely up there in quality too! Looking forward to learning more about this camera with some of your future tutorials.
What's up, Dino
How's it going with the new camera?
Very cool of you to say that, thank you. Much more on the way!

I always bring mine along with my A7R3 for action shots, i know it's weird but the ability to use electronic shutter with out any rolling shutter is quite a special handy tool.
Such a good point here!
Perfect timing - just the tutorial I needed. Thanks for posting
Glad to hear that, Dylan

For photography I use both A73 and A7S3 for weddings. Love this A7S3 for photos!
Such a sleeper - thanks for the feedback, Carlos

Excellent video, Sean. I watched it with my A7Siii on the couch next to me and push pause A LOT just to keep up. I'd be interested to hear more of your thoughts about replacing your b-cam (A7iii) with the FX3. I'm in the exact same position, so I'd love you to be my guinea pig as to how that works. For me, the biggest challenge is camera muscle memory. I'm intrigued by the form factor video-centric nature of the FX3, but in going back and forth between those two cameras on a shoot, for example an interview, I wonder if it'll be distracting to have two cameras with such dissimilar button layouts. (I had three A7iii's set up identically and it really helped my efficiency in live settings.) Thanks again for making this video.
That's awesome I do that all of the time :)
I'll be the guinea pig haha - I do think that it is a no-brainer combo. I am going to have a hard time dropping the a7iii though. I don't know why, but I still like it a lot for photography. The siii is really nice to have for photos as mentioned in this video but I keep leaning toward the image that the 7iii produces. I. DON'T. KNOW.
Anyways, fx3 will happen soon and I agree with what you're saying about the ease of the color science and the menu systems syncing up.
In the meantime, the a7iii set to Cine2 with "Still" for the color mode is a relatively easy match with my custom profile on the siii
Thanks for the comment, discussion, and for checking out my channel - means a lot to me
If you set the PP (of course you have to overexpose by like 2 - 3 stops I imagine) will the dual ISO work? For taking pictures in the dark could be usefull to have higher base iso kick in, no? Just trying to figure it out...
My Guy, always with the bang content 🙌🏻
Appreciate you and glad it landed well for ya

thank you
Love your lighting. Could you do a video on that?
Hey Paul, yes, I can add that to the list. Did you see my studio tour video? Might shed some light (I'm the worst) on the topic for ya in the meantime.
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
The shutter does sound fantastic!
I knew there had to be more of us out there.
This is really an awesome job 👍
Thank you!
Sony a7siii is best for candid videos but I want to know whether it is good for wedding candid photos ?plzz give ur suggestion.?
Fantastic content! Very helpful 🙌 #subbed
What's up, Sebbie?! Pumped to have you, thank you.
Awesome vid, couple of things here tho:
- Turning E-front curtain shutter makes you wear out the shutter at twice the rate unnecessarily.
- D-range optimizer only makes any difference when shooting JPEG, doesn't do anything for RAWs
Thank you for an informative video! Most creators just go through the video settings, but I'm happy I found this!
Glad it was helpful, Robert - thanks for the note
ASMR on point
Thais realy help ne out🔥🔥🔥
E P I C - that is what it is all about for me
To each their own I guess - I feel like the A73 has the best sounding shutter of all time! I’ll be sad when mine goes 😆
Thanks again. Now I'll watch again with the camera so I can change some stuff
How'd it go?!
@@seandewispelaere great, changed a lot of things

Excellent video I just bought the A7S III thanks for shedding light here
I have a question regarding photo, I always thought that a lower ISO it’s better, you say that you set your ISO at 5000, it’s that correct? Thanks 🙏🙏
Hey Carlos, thanks for checking out the channel and enjoy the new camera! I use a lot of different ISO settings depending on the situation. Typically shooting in "M" / manual mode.
Dual ISO: Daylight ISO 640: Lowlight : ca. 5000 - 10000 increasing noise; 12800 no noise! Check ist with closed lens switching from 10000 to 12800 and back. In S-Log3 (PP8) Camera sets ISO automaticly to ISO 640
Awesome content
Much appreciated, thank you
I love the shutter sound on a7siii caught me off guard when I took first photo 🥰
Right?! Brendon gets it.
Just got my A7S III and that was the first thing I noticed!
Hi Sean,
Big fan of your youtube channel. I am new to use SONY a7s3 and lucky enough to learn a lot from you.
Might I ask how I can view the playback directly on the screen of a7s3 after I shoot something high screen like S&Q 120 fps or even higher ?
Every time I watch the playback is still the "normal" speed during shooting. I want to see the actual "slow motion" of high speed shooting in camera.
Highly appreciated.
--Andrew
Hey Andrew, I'm glad that you like the channel and thanks for checking it out. I never shoot S&Q besides the 240p here and there. That said, I have no idea on this one as I usually just use the playback in-camera to make sure that the shot is good and then I'll see the slow motion in post. I'll look into this for you though and see if there is a solution.
@@seandewispelaere Thanks Sean !!
Haha, the a7siii has such a rolling click to the shutter. Also, CFAST express... and that new adobe resolution mode.
@@MarkElliar I don’t think so unless you’re cropping in heavily (ie. wildlife photographers or maybe events).
@@MarkElliar For sure! Personally, I already just use my A7iii for photos but never hurts to have a backup! The file sizes are smaller gaga
Something to add here is that the file size will likely increase drastically when you increase the MP of a photo with the software, but definitely cool for certain shots
IT HELPED ME SET UP MY SONY A1!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's go!!!! Happy to hear that, Juan.
Finally 🙌🏻😍😍
I know, right....

Hey can u compare s cinetone and slog-3 on the a7s3 for low light performance I think that will be a really interesting video
Hey ✋ I don’t know if I’ll be able to get to a low light test in the near future but I did do a general Cinetone vs slog one recently

wow - pretty complex compared to my Nikon - thanks very helpful.
Glad it helped, Mark
duuuude yes a video about exposing with zebras would be great. if possible showing the actual screen of the camera would be super helpful, a lot of people talk about how they use them in a way that is hard to visualize if you are new to the system, so seeing the actual camera screen and adjustments you make would be huge. It's also be really nice to see it done in some various settings. Nailing exposure in a studio with controllable lighting is one thing, I'd love to see someone do an exposure guide in the real world, with the sun, without the sun, with weird lighting, etc and how they get the best results with the camera. Anyways, looking forward to whatever you drop.
Hey Eric! I'm all over it and that video won the vote by a landslide. I'm hoping to keep it under 8-minutes and packed full of the goods. Yes, I'll use a b-cam for this one to show the siii screen because the Ninja doesn't show zebras when screen recording. Dumb. Anyways, coming soon 🤙
Stay well, my man
@@seandewispelaere awesome, thanks dude

Thanks bro for a video
After taking a shot i see a tiny green square on a picture...this is how it should be?
That should be the focus right before you release the shutter, yes
Not sure about photography but hey am using this for stop motion 🌚👌🏻✌️
How's it going? That's something that I've never done but have a lot of respect for
This intro sold me !! hahahaha
Damn...
It just sounds so good.
Thank you Sean! Another fantastic video!
Question tho, what kind of fitness content do you make, and where would I find it? I dig your take and explanation, so you’ve got me curious what else you’ve got to say.
Hey Barry, the majority of my fitness shooting is for the brand that I am the VP of and is internal programming or trainer education. We don't have a ton of public-facing stuff at the moment (that will be changing this year), but send me an email and I can point you in a few directions.
Glad you liked the video - appreciate you

Sorry if it's a silly question, but how do you change between photo and video mode in manual?
Just use the dial up top. I use the custom sets to maintain certain settings
The section at 3:34 - - Does the A7r4 have something like that? I jump between photo and video a lot and it's super annoying to have to change the picture profile constantly.
I'm not sure as I haven't used the r-series. If it has the same menu item, then it should be capable of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't have this as the release date was prior to the S3.
Personally I think picture profile is great for stills, too!
No it’s not don’t do it. The raw will be no good turn it off or the files will be no good
Hey Kevin, how have you been, man?! Which ones do you use?

I just got my Sony a7s3 and I swear I hit the shutter button 8272638282 times lol. 🤣 great video
😂 right?! Thanks for stopping by
What happens when you hit the record button when you are in stills mode. I ask because I’m considering using the A7siii in a water housing and the top mode dial is not available through the housing. Hoping it will kick it in to movie mode with the settings last used in that mode. Anyone know?
Just tried a few things and it won't record at least to my quick testing. Tried custom mapping and didn't have "record" as an option.
Hello! At 7:35 I see you have JPEG Image Size L: 12M. Please tell me, why I have there only L: 4.3M !? Other settings are the same. Can't solve this problem( And maximum res of my photos 2486x1577 even RAW... Please, give my advice what settings should I change and where? Thank you!
Hey I'm really not sure on this topic, but will look into it
Have only had this camera for a few weeks and had no idea how to keep stills and video settings separate...until now, thanks. One thing's bugging me though, I tend to shoot video in Slog and have log to 709 gamma display assist 'on' but it stays on in stills mode making the standard image look dreadful in the monitor / finder. Is there a way to keep the display assist just in video mode?
You can change the gamma assist type to auto. It will stay on for log footage and off for photos. I don't use auto because I don't like gamma display assist automatically on for log, so I added the assist toggle to the photo function menu. Still kind of a pain, but it's something.
Thanks, Anthony!
I have one question i can't understand why my camera is doing this.
So when I change a setting on the "function menu" for photo it also change it for my video function menu :/
is there a setting that I need to turn off or something ? btw I've listen and made all the instruction you give on this video ^^
Hey Brian, yea you'll need to un-sync that in the menu. Let me know fi you can't get it figured out.
Thanks for checking out the channel!
good video man
Appreciate it, Vincent

Quick question, how its like the a7siii for client photo, do they like it (asking because of the 12 megapixels) or do they dont notice the difference?
12mp is plenty in my experience and nobody would know the difference unless you need to crop heavily or blow up the images to an extreme level.
Thats great, it was my thinking, thank you for answering
Would this be a good option for indoor basketball stills or only video? Debating between this and r6ii for a hybrid
Hey Chris, I'd probably run the r6ii, I think the 24 MP is more desirable for photos. That said, the S3 will likely be stronger in low light. Always a trade off with this stuff, unfortunately.
@@seandewispelaere thanks!
Why do you keep e front curtain off? Is there a trade off?
Meh I like the way the shutter sounds and it MIGHT help with banding as well
I do mainly video & vlogs, but bought the Canon R5. Money irrelevant, should I sell & switch to the Sony A7S3? R5 Wobbles are killing me!!
I've heard amazing things about the R5. If wobbles are the issue I don't think it is worth switching. The active IBIS in the S3 is good, but it sounds like you either need a heavier lens or a gimbal if wobbles are getting the best of you.
Thanks for checking out the channel, Shervin
Its supposed to clear up at 24 and longer
Back button focus all day
I knew I wasn't alone, Frank
Holy mother of jawlines!
The power of editing.... :)
I have never thought of the A7s as a video camera. I mean, if that really was it's purpose, why on earth would you design it like a camera for photography?
Well, that besides the point. I wish I had the money for a camera like the a7s iii, not for video, but for photography, mainly because I have an aversion in regards to flash photography, at least for everything , not in the studio.
👍
Hey do you know if the A7S iii has bracketing?
Indeed it does!
@@seandewispelaere Ah can I get a hint, I can't find it on mine!
But i heard 12mp is trash, my phone does 50mp 😂 just kidding, wonderful video!
haha right?! thank you, glad you liked it
How do you think the A7siii would do for real estate photography ?
I don't know as I don't do much of that. I'm sure there are better resources than me for that one!
2am, don’t have an a7siii, but here I am.
You're the real MVP
The click is so satisfiable...
Proof that I'm not the only weird one. Thanks, Travis!
My Distortion Comp. is grayed out (on auto)....
Hmmm - is it also grayed out on manual?
Nobody may care about this, but the icon for the bottom settings section isn't a briefcase, it's a toolbox lol
I care 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My a7siii for sports photography is just way too noisy and it’s so frustrating
Yea I feel that. The a7iii was better, but the S3 is so damn good for video.
Airplane mode is no longer true. The older models, yes, and just something everyone has gotten use to doing. I've done side by side tests with the S3, and unless you are actually using the wifi/bluetooth, it makes virtually no impact on the battery life whether airplane mode is on or off. Just food for thought.
Huge help, Sean (great name by the way), thank you for this!
I have to pay Amazon $358 for the 60X shiped to the netherlands…
Dang!
It's not a briefcase, it's a toolbox
If you don't say why you turn things on and off what's the point?
I found it totally confusing 🙄
Lol a weird looking cassette tape.
I'm dumb :) thanks for checking out the video, Joshua
the centered //SD watermark is so unnecessary
Sony a7siii is best for candid videos but I want to know whether it is good for wedding candid photos ?plzz give ur suggestion.?
I think it holds up well for photos, but I don't do weddings. I'd say that if 12mp is enough for you that it will work well.
@@seandewispelaere thank you sir
Sony a7siii is best for candid videos but I want to know whether it is good for wedding candid photos ?plzz give ur suggestion .?
I think it wold do well, though I haven't used it for weddings, I've used it for similar stuff and it is very capable
Look for Whoismat : Wedding with A7S3
