Jason, your energy and joy for new gear is infectious. I felt like I had just got a new camera! Congrats!

Did you connect the Ninja Inferno to the a7r3 and see if the inferno is flicerking on 4K ?
Or its good to go ?
Is it using same micro HDMI or full HDMI now ?
ups tacking scene was me! Haha
jason thank you for the video ^^
I have a question: for the first time I turn on the A7RIII and the first set up do you recommend to do that with no lens attached to the camera or is it irrelevant?
Jason, how are you recording the navigation of the a7r iii menus? I see you have the camera tethered. Are you tethered to a computer? If so, what software is displaying the a7r iii menus live?
Did you notice more resistance when changing lenses compared to the R2?
Got mine today and noticed it took a lot more force to attach lenses compared to the A7Rii. Not sure if this is related to additional Weather sealing?
Jason, Iâm a little bit confused about the best memory cards for the RIII , can you explain please?
Can you test out how non-native lenses work with both the metabones and MC-11 adapters?
Ordered the A7RIII (A model) last Friday! Waiting for it to arrive in a few weeks. Your videos have been helpful getting me choose the A7RIII over the A7III
Hey Jason ,Have you used Canon lenses on Sony A7R II ? How's the Auto Focusing with Canon Lenses.
Men, can you test for SLOG3 in grade, and 4k FF noise in dark and :) damn rolling shutter jelly or not?
Hey Jason, quick question for you - is there a simple way to display date/time so its easy to verify they are correct?
My A7RIII came today. First Sony camera ever and first camera I've bought in over 10 years. SUPER STOKED!!! Thanks for the customization information. The number of options is very overwhelming...
I perhaps will need to redo the menu part now that I've a better understanding of it
Hi! Could you please give me you thoughts... Im bought A7R III and now look for the lenses. I was a canon user so im confused. The options are: get 50mm 1.4 zeiss planar and then i will buy 35mm and 85 or 135. Or start with 24-70 2.8 gm and then add 85 or 135. I shoot mostly girls portraits at studio (80%), and on location. And also i shoot content for IG for local business (clothes, cosmetics). And really shot videos for IG. Could you please help me. I cant wait to purchase my lens and start shooting đ
I got my A7Riii this past Monday! In the process of setting up my menu settings as well. Any idea how to setup the video function to quickly switch from 1080p 120fps to 4k 24fps on the fly? I assume memory recall settings are the best way haven't tested it yet. Just a tip Jason but if you leave e-front curtain Shut. on make sure to turn it off for taking pictures of fast moving objects at high shutter speeds will give you ghosting and it may not work with adapted lenses.
Hi Jason, im a proud owner of a A7RIII. My first lens is the 35 2.8. Problem: i almost cannot mount that lens, i have to use a lot of force to do that, should i bring it back?
can a7riii shoot raw in crop mode and if yes in how many mega pix size? i heard it can't and that's a turn off for me if it can't shoot raw with crop mode,,,can you make me sure jason about it?
New to Sony from Canon. Is it possible to see how much space has been used on a card or how many shots are remaining?
my sony a7r iii jpeg image size only has 36m, 15m, and 8.9m
Is there something wrong with my model? Or maybe I messed with another setting to limit the megapixels?
Hey Jason when can we expect a canon 70-200mm vs the gmaster 70-200mm on Sony a7riii???? Thanks
I'm done with adapting lenses. The performance is never on par
Do someone know if i can switch the language always to german or is there a different firmware for that?
Because all the sellers on ebay (who are not from germany) say: (in the discription) that the language is not switchable to german.
Would be kind if someone can help me :
Jason !!.... HELP!!! I just purchased an A7R3 and LOVING it. Thereâs a feature on it that creates proxy files on the SD card. All the tutorials Iâve watched shows how to â create â proxies.. BUT I donât need that since A7R3 already does it. I just want to know how do I import both files and attach connect them in Premiere Pro? You would be my hero!!!!
I'm curious if you ever loaded the EOS Color Pro 3 profile. The a7Riii isn't one of the cameras they list as compatible. And thanks for the great video.
You can still send a jpeg to your phone even if you shoot only in raw. What benefits to doing raw+jpeg am I missing here?
Can I use an Eye-Fi card in the second slot for tethering?
pre booked mine, can't wait!
Is the EOSHD pro profile compatible with the a7riii? They donât have it listed
So happy for you ! Picking up mine 23th of December ^^ Quick question, what L bracket would you recommend besides RRS ?
Question: Nowhere in the instructions so they say what the different settings are for the selector? Is "M" manual? where are these in the manual?
Good video. I wish you had shown how you put on the screen protector. Hope to see the next setup video soon!
Haha! I was going to. But it's not hard! You got this!
Hi Json, does Sony a7r3, have an aspect ratio guide that can be used while shooting in the field? Like 4x5 or 1x1 or 16x9 etc? Default is always 2x3. You skipped the Aspect ratio setting.
Awesome Jason! For this video, I think a dream sequence would have been perfect while you were waiting.
UPS Tip - when you get the tracking info, you can change the delivery to pick up at the distribution depot! Check to see where the nearest one is for you. I pick up my shipments at 8am on that delivery day. (I'm not good at being patient) - Love from Ohio!
LIFE PRO TIP!!! Thanks man!
Absolutely! No more waiting till 4pm, go get your packages and on with the videos! See you in the next post. Also, 1 question. Does A7riii allow you to select to shoot lower resolution in raw? đ· Don't always need 42 on my a7rii.
With all due respect, I'll be hating you for the next two months, but at the end of January I'll be loving you again because that's when I'll be getting my Sony a7Riii lol. But seriously, thanks for taking the time to do these types of unboxings/tutorials and taking us step by step. Much respect to you, and God bless my bro!!!
Great vid, can you set any of the custom buttons to change the storage folder ? example Folder 101 press a button and change to next folder 102. Really handy for horse photo shoots so i can put each competitor in a separate folder.
I just ordered my Sony A7riii.. Do you still use yours?
hahaha the background music is lit! Merry Christmas indeed.
which lens you are using on a7rii ?
man...where can I get one of the Sony Alpha hats!?
Bro, love your spirit :D Stay blessed, subscribed! Got mine this week myself so can relate all that excitement :D
Iâm almost done setting up my layout. I just want to set my custom button on my lens to Eye AF but the menu is a bit different on the A7riii. Can you help me out?
Go to the Custom Key for photos and change the Focus hold to eye AF
Hi Jason! I'm having a huge issue with my camera, is there anywhere I can email you about it? Maybe you can help, I can't find anything about the issue online (not even kidding). SO frustrating!!
Jason just like a kid in the Christmas morning!!! Have fun with your new toy man!!!!
Jason can you do a video of how you started photography and getting into the business/market?
Jason your energy in this video is awesome!! haha
I just purchased the A7Riii, and was wondering if you ran into the same problem as me. When I'm in movie mode (running 1080p at 120fps), for some reason I'm not able to adjust my shutter or aperture. It stays constant at 1/120 and 1.4 (with my 35mm 1.4 lens). Is there a setting that I can adjust the shutter?
Make sure your S&Q settings are set to Manual as well. It is default Program Auto
Does Lightroom support the raw files from A7R3 now?
so buzzing for you! i dont have a lot of cash and ive just moved over from DSLR to the a7 mk1! cannot wait to get shooting
Aloha! can you explain why JPEG for Instagram vs Raw? is the JPEG quality better for IG?
Long exposure NR is not the same thing as regular noise reduction just so you know. When you shoot long exposure photos the sensor tends to get hot and there will be some hot pixels which is not regular noise. With long exposure NR the camera takes another photo with the shutter blocking any light hitting the sensor with the exact same setting as you used on your long exposure photo to identify those hot pixels and then eliminate them. You will still need to do some regular NR after that as well.
Great in-depth look I will be getting mine mid next year. Look forward to your review.
Fun and helpful! Iâm jealous as I only have a new 128 SanDisk card and one battery. Sitting and waiting till Dec 4th. Iâll come back to this video when I get the camera, and play with all the settings. Feels like Iâm on this adventure right behind you. I have two A7Riiâs that will soon be jealous and less used. Will keep one as a backup, sell off the other.
FIRST!!! & I got mines yesterday as well JV, I was like a kid in a candy store. Happy for you bro, good video.....CONGRATS!!!
Hi.. quick question about RAW + JPEG.. i understand that its a debate about what to choose (raw or jpeg), each has its own plus & minus.. But why bother choosing RAW+Jpeg? I understand you need the jpeg for Instagram.. But It takes alot more space that Raw only. And when you setting your file output to Raw only, it automaticly converts to JPEG in your phone when transfering with play memories mobile app.. And can easily access on the fly to export to Instagram
Ashadi Budi it's simply personal preference. I shoot RAW only as I do a lot of of post work so having JPEG isn't really useful for my needs but my colleague she shoots JPEG+RAW mainly so that she can get a reference after compression. It boils down to preference but if you are editting photos RAW is the way to go but JPEGs are great for those who aren't into full post work and aren't bothered by software adjustments to it, as my colleague said she gets by because she only tweak minor things so JPEG is more efficient for her and if there was ever anything that needed major fixed she is at ease knowing she has a RAW file, now thats her reason but everyone is different. As for the play memory I probably used it once. It was when I took a pic of my Mom and Dad and she begged me to send it to her quick so I used it for that reason, other than that I stick with doing things the long way. So just find out what shooting form suits you
Do you use vintage lenses?
FYI Long Exposure Noise Reduction does affect the RAW files. It exposes a dark image right after and subtracts it to reduce the noise. The disadvantage is that every long exposure image takes twice the time to shoot ("Processing...").
Best camera review channel ever!!!!
I got my sigma 16mm f1.4 XD crazy excited !!!
LOL. Just saw this and I was/am the same way: camera coming at the end of June (I hope) for my ID4 trip: got 2 batteries with a dual charger (batteries charged), 2 lenses (deciding on #3), lens protector, new flash (works well on my a6300), 128GB UHS-II card (Sony) plus other goodies. I cannot wait.
Nice!!!
the intro was me when i got my a7r iii today lmfaoooooooooo
Yea I have been playing with mine all night. I love the buffer.
Congrats and great review, thank you for sharing Jason. I can't wait to get mines one day. Chatting with your cameras is actually entertaining and you pull it off nicely, comedic music would help a lot. Lol
I just finally got mine đ
This one of your best videos.. nice job! Box should say A7r2.5, but better than the II.
Which one is 99ii or riii
Hi Jason, Possible dumb question. I've heard mentioned that some Sony full frames have an APSC mode? Is that true and does that mean a APSC lens can be used ? Again, I'm not sure if this is true. If so, does the A7riii have this mode?
Yep all true!
Jason Vong mind blown!!
The begining is me everytime i get anything gear related in the mail lolol
Customizing your camera it exactly what it being a photographer is all about, customizing your tools to make them work for YOU! My A7r ii & 6300s got the same, so settings and customizing buttons match with the C buttons. Excited about picking up the mk3 in the near future. Maybe a s3??? Love from Ohio!
Thanks, Jason! Scary going from A7ii to A7Riii with 2 weeks til Europe vacation. Yikes.
i totally agree with you on users complaining about the menu. Sure there's a lot of options but you can customize your buttons and also set your function menu to your liking. the only thing i go into the menu most of the time is to format my card, and that's not very often.
joystick is a nice feature but I've set my buttons on my a7r1 to act like one. center to toggle focus points and hitting the trash would re-center the points. works well. i shoot mainly images so this works for me. i can't speak for others.
Mine still hasn't shipped...still out of stock on Amazon
congratulations!!!!!!!!!
Moved up to the a7r3 from the a6300. Awesome jump to this as my first full frame camera.
Waiting for 7r3 was the most torturing time of my life lol
What a beautiful camera. Ups always be taking their sweet time lmao
My maker display is not showing up on my a7r3. yea on the a6500 it has the white lines like you talked about.
Are you in movie mode?
yes. I don't think it showed up on this video as well.
The waiting game for this camera was dang real! Got mine yesterday đđ€€
I preordered mine a month ago..still waiting..I hope Iâm gonna have it before Christmas đ€đ
TUDĂ sameđ
Thxs!! very clear!
A7Riii is a very exciting camera, worth to wait ahahaha
Again watching a review for a camera I cant even afford. :( Jason can I have your A7sii as a gift this Christmas please? hahah
Awesome Manđđ
That would be my biggest dreamđł
Noah Petek dream a little bigger lol
yfzi WELL, what about a Phantom Flex 4K? That better?đ
Bigger!
You are so excited. I can totally understand!
But
Maby you should take a room together with you camera đ
Three spare batteries that you'll never use. I have an extra battery for my a9 that I have yet to use. My grip provides all day use. I recently shot an entire college basketball game and only went through half of one of the batteries in my grip. It doesn't hurt having extras just for piece of mind.
Depens on your use case scenario, if you go with shooting video, then you're battery gets eaten alive. I personally had 1 battery + 2 spares for video shooting, so 3 in total.
And i`d usually wear 2 to 2.5 batteries doing a video day.
Was this with the new Z batteries that the A7rIII and A9 use?
Lol thats exactly how I was Friday afternoon. đ. I got my sony a7r iii around 6pm.
Nice video, I did a Sony a6300 AutoFocus Review and I think you'll be surprised at the results, they are insane!
No seriously Jason good for you congratulations
Yes please Dona custom button setting after you get used to the camera
Sony a9 says 30% increase in Eye AF performance over A7R2. Whereas Sony A7R3 says Double the Performance over A7R2. Does that mean A7R3 is better than A9 in terms of Eye AF Performance ?
YOU MADE MY DAY.
what color space to you set and why
My understanding is the the color space only matters for JPEG. If it's a RAW file then it doesn't matter and I'm pretty sure Lightroom uses ProPhoto RGB color space for editing, and then sRGB when you export, or Adobe RGB for when you print.
Regardless, what do you want to do with the photos? Put it on the web? sRGB since most monitors can display all of those colors. Print? Adobe RGB.
But this is how I understand it, I've never gone through to fully confirm.
Youâre so awesome!
I wish sigma had a 16mm 1.4 for full frame i love that lens
why not Sony A9 sir?
i ain't gonna lie, this is me waiting for a new toy every time!
Oh haha so typicall; refreshing that track and trace page over and over again. And when the doorbell rings, waiting 5 counts before opening the door.. you know.. I'm busy you know đđ
I'm getting G.A.S. looking at this video!! And at the beginning, that warning on the booklet said, "Failure to follow the instructions could result in death or injury". Then, underneath, it mentioned something about swallowing small parts (the usual stuff), so I doubt you got much to worry about lol.
notification squad! I hope I can get this camera one day
That would be me checking the tracking every five minute, running to the door every time I thought I heard something that might be someone knocking :)
If possible can someone do an A7RIII vs Hasselblad X1D? :P
That's super exciting. And funny lol
