Hey thanks for the heads up. I realized this later as I got even more familiar with the camera. I think that I may make another video to compare the two. IMO the loss of quality is important but depends on your end platform.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry that this 20 minute video with detail failed to provide you with one step that most if not all people understand how to do. 🤷🏾♂️
My man! 5:00 you are the only dude in the whole yoo toob universe that clearly said and told me what Recording Setting and Frame Rate was/is to a new Sony menu user... that sh*t was confusin' ... too many sake and naked hot bath makes translation to simple use "boom" 120 fps set/save to a more confusin' unnecessary set up options. THANK YOU; you make it clear.
This makes me feel so happy and proud. Thank you for your kind words and please feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have about this video.
If you added some good lighting you can expose for the windows and lower your ISO to get way more resolution and better color. But, you already know that.
I am glad I came across your page could not find anything on +120 SLO mo shooting , im going to need so fire luts for color grading I really like that glossy look
I noticed shooting in 4k in S AND Q. when you get to final cut, trying to slow or speed up a 4k clip it comes out glitchy , however shooting in 1080 p 120 fps you can slow down a clip or speed the clip up and its smooth however shooting in 1080 is not as glass as 4k so I guess when you shoot a scene shoot 2 takes in 4k and one take in 1080 120 fps so you won't miss the butter slow motion . shooting in 1080 120 you don't have to shoot in s and q at all.
You can create you're own custom menu and the Sony menu really isn't as messy as it used to be. And this is coming from a long term GH5 user who has moved over. Also SQ isn't best way to shoot 120p
Thanks for your comments. I like the custom menus but I just wanted to show people how to get in and out of slow motion in a basic way. You are defiantly right about getting better slow motion.
Focusing is hard in slow motion because the image is much softer. The way I get around it is by using the focus peaking settings in the camera. The other thing is that when you are shooting at this speed things don't need to be in perfect focus all the time. IT actually helps with the effect IMO
Naff Media hey thanks for your question. You don’t need to be in a specific movie mode to shoot in slow motion. Those just control the look or colour of the footage not the frame rate.
Thanks Tristasn for your great video, I have learned a-lot from it. I have a question for you, I'm about to buy my first Sony A7III monitor and I'm breaking my head which one to pick, so, I thought will be a great idea to ask the professional. Since I'll be filming mostly outside and the sun here is extremely strong, it will have to be bright + I'm looking for a touch screen monitor with a super good focus picking, last thing will be happy if the battery will not end too fast, can you please recommend a model or 2? Oh the budget, I guess, something around $300-$450. Thanks so much in advance, Tal.
Hello, Tal! Thank you so much for watching the video. I am super glad that you found it helpful in anyway. That being said let's talk a little about monitors. The first one that comes to mind is the Atomos Shinobi 5.2 - amzn.to/31HjdvP This will be at the top of your budget but has all the feature you are looking for. The next great option is the Free World monitors - amzn.to/2w8pu8l These are not touch but have all the other features you want and best part is they are sub $250 CAD. The others that are much cheaper would be the Lilliput monitors - amzn.to/3bniXXk Hope that this helps.
@@TristanBarrocks Thank you so much Tristan, you are doing a great job by teaching us all your great tips for successful footage. I'm absolutely looking forward for your next video, you are one of the very few I picked as my mentor. Thanks !!!
Here you go www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07D7K5L9D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - This cage is super dope and really handy. Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks for the tutorial, I love your style through your video. I just got the camera and my only problem is that I was trying to shoot inside with 120fps and it seemed pretty dark. Is there a solution to this or just edit in in post?
Hey Jason! Thank you so much for reaching out. With regards to your problem, it's all about adding lots of light to the space indoors. If you don't have light hitting the sensor then at that high frae rate it's super hard for the camera to perform well in the dark. Once you have the clips in post it maybe too late, so always remember to add lots of light to the shot when shooting in high frame rates. Cheers
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial. I used all the same settings but when I put the footage into premiere, I don't get slow-motion at all. Would you be able to assist me with that? Thank you!!
I use PP7 for most of my video capture with Cine3 or Rec 709. It really depends on the delivery of the project. If I'm under a time crunch I tend to use less flat settings because I have not time to CC. Whereas if I have the time I go with the SLOG or flatter settings.
Just saw this ! Great vid . My question is this , if you shoot in 120p, is ther a way to have parts of that 120p clip play back at normal speed without loosing the 120p footage?
Im do mainly stills these days but my background is video so intersting to see how to use my a7riii for video ..a lot different from my days of shooting on a sony mini DV camcorder..
Putting this comment here as well as in my reply to someone earlier. If I want 120 FPS I have to go to NTSC mode. I see that if I'm shooting in PAL mode in the UK that going to NTSC for the 120FPS means I will have to format my card or delete the footage already on it, even if I take the card out before the NTSC reboot and put it back in after, unless I'm mistaken. Seems I may have to use a seperate card just to go for the slo-motion shot that I need to film film for an upcoming project I have. A bit messy, not sure if there's another way I can do all this without having to use a seperate card or risk deleting the other footage that I'll be shooting that day, or just go to 100 FPS?
Hey thank you for the question. If you follow this particular method the clips have already been conformed to slow motion inside of the camera. So all you have to do is import them into FCPX and they will be smooth and sexy.
Your right! To get the best quality you should do it manually, but honestly that depends on the output platform you are doing to. For web based stuff this will look clean and will hold up well. Thanks for the thoughts.
this was super helpful but question when I film in these settings will it playback slow-motion on the camera? When I shoot some footage it played back normal and I put slow motion on to of it and it still came out smooth, but what am I doing wrong because it would raw be slow motion right off the bat when I upload it to Final Cut. Also do ou have recommendations for a gimbal that is not to pricy.
Hey Tristan thanks for the great tutorial ! just wanted a bit of help on this - iam shooting a few samples with the a7iii on the record setting of 100p100m (iam using PAL) ... the s&q settings for both record and frame rate are set at 25. i have chosen to go with the 100p100m option since its a better bit rate than using the s&q for slow mo. But when i play the footage back on the camera , it doesnt seem to show me that its been shot in slomo (100fps)! what do you reckon the issue is? would i be able to view it only in the edit? or is there some setting that i seem to have missed? thanks
Hey thanks for watching and also thank you for the great question. When you record with these settings the camera captures everything in 100p and plays but as such. Once you bring it into your editor it can be slowed down in there. So no worries at all.
its complex u chose 24 frame rate per second then you've chosen 250 shutter speed ? u should rather say double the frame rate not the record frame rate or I miss something here!! my a7s3 on HD recording setting, it shots 200 frames per second on 25 output data , so my shutter should be 400 or I should make it 50 !? so weird
Hi Tristan, when you go to the S&Q settings and adjust them as you did, is it related to the S&Q on the dial on top of the camera (where you choose your mode M, A, S, 1-2, S&Q)??? Thank you so much in advance
So what do you think? Have any questions? I would love to help.
hello I want to know why my A7iii can only choose 100 fps in S&Q mode
wai yan Tse I have a same problem. My firmware is 3.01
im on dial 2 and cant change the exposure mode. im wondering if im in auto somewhere on my camera?
Hello, and thank you for your question. Please make sure that you are in manual mode.
@@briantse520 change it to ntsc
This is probably the most comprehensible Sony A7iii tutorial out there. You deserve wayyyy more credit. Keep it up my guy!

REALLY! Amazing, so great to see people growing. Glad I could help in anyway.
I know this video is old now, but you just saved me with all this information.
Thank you!
Glad it helped! Have a great day!
Honestly, i have been shooting all the time with the wrong settings with S&Q and now I get it. thanks a lot.
Best wishes from India.
Glad I could help

thank you man!you really help me to set up the cam!!!im new with the a7iii and im on it to learn,i appreciate,Peace!!!
Dope!!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Hope that you are doing well.
You are taking a hit in quality using S&Q... you will have a higher mbps using regular 120fps 1080p...just so you know..

Nice work Bro..... Cant wait to see the comparison....@@TristanBarrocks
@@jaywagner6433 No problem at all. Thank you for your thoughts.
Hi, by chance do you know why I wouldn't be able to change the shutter speed on dial 2? I'm trying to set my slo-mo settings on dial 2.
You lose about 2-3MB going S&Q. It’s not that huge of a difference.
Dude, you failed to mention that one has turn the wheel at the top of the cam to S&Q mode for it to work

FYI Sony A7iii doesn't shoot 4k at 120fps. The setting you are showing is for the S&Q feature which is 1080 at 120fps
Thanks
Tristan everything Set as Shown
But when i play my Recordings Back
They Play Back 5X Faster Not 5X Slower? :/ Frustrating
Great job! Thanks.
'Double the frame rate' for shutter speed - is that the record frame rate or the slow-mo frame rate?
Hey! You double the shutter speed of whatever the frame rate it. Thanks
U helped me 🔥
Thanks man!
Great video
Thanks man
thank you so much for this.
Is this only in S&Q mode or does this work on regular video mode?
very informal brother.. thanks
İ just get the sony a7 iii and , dont know why i cant select the 120 fps on S&Q settings there is max 100fps , please somebody help??? 🙂🙂
Thanks for the question. It is because you are in PAL not NTSC mode
I don't have the options in S&Q settings, i only have 50p or 25p...also i cant set frame rate to 120, the mx i have is 100....help?!
Try checking out the part two to this video
Nice work. Do any work in Premiere? Would love to see a similar tutorial in that tool.
I don't use PP but I have friends that do and they say it works well. I will see if I can get one of them to share.
Very good video my advice is Just stick with slow mo and not go in to color grading if it’s about slow mo
Focusing in slow-mo has been an issue for me...shot are no coming our with clear. Thoughts.
Focusing is hard in slow motion because the image is much softer. The way I get around it is by using the focus peaking settings in the camera. The other thing is that when you are shooting at this speed things don't need to be in perfect focus all the time. IT actually helps with the effect IMO
Depends on the lens afaik
Very well explained!

When you go to the menu and dont see the same thing :( I dont have 24p or 120 as options, yes its a7riii. Any ideas??
Hey thanks for the question. Please check to see if you are in PAL mode. That may fix the settings.
@@TristanBarrocks Cheers for the reply, thats exactly what the problem was
If you’re shooting a rap video would you still have to do all this? I’m new to all this pretty much
What did you use to edit the video? I just bought sony a7iii and I’m new to photography. I’m considering this to be my hobby as I am a nurse☺️
Hey! I used Final Cut Pro X to edit this video.
are you in manual mode while doing this? or movie mode? i dont understand if you have to be in some setting before shooting slomo
Naff Media hey thanks for your question. You don’t need to be in a specific movie mode to shoot in slow motion. Those just control the look or colour of the footage not the frame rate.
Great Video........very goood !!!!...Thanks a lot!
No problem thank you for watching.

The ISO gets capped depending on the settings you select to make sure that your exposure is correct.

It needs to be slowed down by 50% or 40% in post editing video program.
@@TristanBarrocks Ah thanks! And Also what are the differences with this option and the S&Q option?

Did you use Cine4, SLH or SLOG2? And which do you use most for daytime lighting and lowlight
I use PP7 for most of my video capture with Cine3 or Rec 709. It really depends on the delivery of the project. If I'm under a time crunch I tend to use less flat settings because I have not time to CC. Whereas if I have the time I go with the SLOG or flatter settings.

u should rather say double the frame rate not the record frame rate or I miss something here!!
