You have us anticipating your content, guessing ahead of time the shooting type for this third video. Dialed in all three settings. Very helpful. Thank you Mark!
Thank you for making this all clear and dandy. The very best guide ever and straight to the point.
Seriously, the best tutorial. Thanks for sharing your tips and advice :)
He speaks clearly moves at a pace where you can follow along this guy is a genius. Thanks!!!
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge with those that are new to the Sony system or to photography in general. Keep them coming please
Thank you so much for posting this. I just went from an Nex7 to an a6000 and now, finally made the move to the a7III. Your tutorials are really time savers and a great starting point to get to customize the camera to my liking.
Great Video, thanks Mark. We Seriously need another post for VIDEO settings, thanks!
Thanks so much for the video, it's already helped me out in a big way being a new Sony user!
Hi Mark, your videos have been a real help for me, I wanted to share my resent experience with the setting modifications, I had a shoot with a team of paintball players and when the time came to shoot with masks on AF EFS, focus was all over the place it just did not allow for eye recognition, I learned in your movie about fallback settings, this saved my day! I set up in my A7M3 with the C3 to override AF-C with AF-S and Expand Flexible Spot, on the fly focus, didn’t waste a second. Thank you again and please keep sharing the knowledge.
It helped me a lot also, Thank you Mark!
Wow! This is so helpful to a brand new A7R III owner. Thank you. Now, to find the comparable landscape and sports instructions
great tutorial for my a7iii settings, there are zillions of things in the menu. Thanks a lot Mark, you make life easier for us !!!
Thanks very much for this series, which expanded my knowledge of the camera and will reduce my editing time.
One note on anti-flicker shooting is that it’s only available with the mechanical shutter. This has bitten me a few times when shooting in silent mode where I’ve gotten banding from fluorescent lighting. Better to switch to the relatively quiet mechanical shutter in those situations to take advantage of the anti-flicker feature.
Great video! Love your tutorials. Thank you for sharing these tips. New to Sony, been a Nikon shooting for 20 years. Your videos have helped me customize my a7III to my liking!
Excellent tutorial, straight and to the point. Thank you very much.
Mark, I really enjoy your professional and informative videos. Thank you so much for educating us all.
I am discovering your videos and find them highly invaluable! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, it is really helpful !
Thank you for the guide, now my picture are really really Good!
Love your work Mark, thank you for all your knowledge, it helped me set up my A7Riii, cheers.
Thank you, Mark. Great info. Looking forward to trying these settings out.
Thanks, Mark. Your content is great!
I can't even stop watching your videos Mark! This is phenomenal
These tutorials are invaluable. I've learned so much about my new camera and consequently have become a better photographer overnight. Thank you so much!!! A++++
Excellent. Many useful tips that I had not heard before. Thanks!
I just switched from Canon to Sony A7RIII so all of this video is very helpful fo me .Thank you.
im thinking about doing the same, how about your experience? thanks bro
Alberto Costell ,Sorry for the late response. I’ve been pretty much happy with the switch .The Eye AF doesn’t seem to work as consistently as I hoped even with a Sony GM 85.It seems to work perfect for the You Tubers when they present it.It is a learning curve with the menus and mirrorless.I have no regrets.
Thank you! I will be testing out these settings today in Balboa Park!
Mark you just nailed it..... Thanks a lot... Keep posting more tutorials :) Glad I found your channel
Thanks Mark, love all your videos.
Wonderful video Mark! Thank you for your tutorials!
Nice. I grabbed a few things I hadn't thought of setting up yet. Thanks.
Fantastic information provided here. Many thanks.
Thinking of switching to an a7riii and your channel is extremely helpful, have to admit though as someone who was trained on a Hasselblad 500cm and used Nikons from the f2 onwards the setup of these Sony's will take some getting used to!
Again ... very helpful content, thank you!
Another great set of advice which i am going to follow. Very well explained and structured. Good work!!
Thank you, I love those settings!
Subbed after a minute in! Fantastic content. To the point and well spoken. Thank you.
Just recently joined the Sony world with the A7iii. i am coming from a Canon background so it has been some changes for me. I just discovered your series and absolutely love them! You have already taught me so much. Thank you!
I just switch from canon to Sony menu on Sony is ridiculous
This guy is a really good teacher.
Thanks indeed Mark, coming from Canon the A7R3 has a daunting number of settings. This is a lot more fun than reading a 650 page help guide. Won't be selling my Canon gear at all, but the two will compliment very nicely.
Thank you so much! Your videos have helped me tremendously!
Hello! I am a new photographer, I happened here by chance and now I want to try this setup! thank you for the excellent explanation!
Amazing video! Very well explained and very instructive. Thanks a lot :) Subscribed!
Thanks Mark plan to follow this series. My A7R iii will be arriving soon.
Loved the video Mark! Thanks!
Awesome video. Hope you keep them coming!
Great video Mark, thank you very much!
Me watching this video 6years later and still amazed what options these camera's have, coming from a A57 and just bought the A7R III second hand.
Still great cameras
Fantastic introduction to the camera! Thanks very much!
Awesome!! Thanks Mark! I'll test this out tonight at my family pre-Christmas gathering :)
Goy my A7III (no R) today and came right here. Thank you for taking the time to do these very useful and high-quality videos.
@@Anna-gv7vo I had to rewatch the video to remember what the recommended settings were. 😀 Generally, these are the setting I use on my current cameras: A9, 7RIV, and 7Siii for portraits. I don't actually use my 7Siii much for portraits. I use it for videos and often as a still camera to take food pictures in restaurants where the light is often very low. I think the 7Siii is under appreciated as a still camera for NON-COMMERCIAL work because it has "only" 12MP. It wasn't all that long ago that 10MP was considered high resolution! For social media and relatively small prints (up to 11X17) 12 MP is more than enough and the files take up so much less space and process so much more quickly with very high quality. The A9 is my primary portraiture camera, while the A7Riv is most often used for landscapes and fine art work.
@@Anna-gv7vo My memory just isn't what it used to be! 😀 When I am in a studio I always shoot in M, too, but I don't know what the shooting mode would cause you to miss focus. One of the greatest things about Sony mirrorless cameras (others are catching up, or trying to) is how well eye autofocus works. I almost never get an out of focus portrait anymore, and when I do I usually did something wrong. I have used Wide, Zone, and various Spot modes in different circumstances all with great success. I hope you can figure it out and start getting really sharp portraits.
Excellent series on the A7RIII. I've watched the other videos and yours are head and shoulders above.
PS: I kept forgetting what I put in memory locations 1,2, and 3 -- so I set them at 1=Portrait, 2=Landscape, 3=Action. 1-2-3="P-L-A" as in Sony PLAystation !! Hah. Now I don't forget.
Dennis L. This just helped me out too🙏🏾🙏🏾
Like you I need an acronym and I've done is as per this video: LAP (Landscape, Action, Portraits)
:)
1andscape
ac2ion
por3t
I set mine up alphabetically, 1action, 2astro, 3landscape...
One thing that annoyed me about the a7iii was it only had 2 spots on the dial.
I printed all my personal settings on a piece of paper and put that behind de screen so it's always available for peeping
great explanation , thanks alot
Fantastic information . Many thanks
Moving back to camera and from Canon, I've learned a great deal about the camera over the simple and well crafted video. Thank you very much for sharing your settings.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic! Thanks Mark!
Always great videos Mark!
great video and it makes me want to switch my 1dx2 and 5d4 to the A9 and the A7RIII almost for the eye detection alone but add in the silent shutter and in body stabilization . . .
Thanks Mark another great video............
Just an amazing video !
Seriously informative. If you're in the dark, go to Mark!

Thank you. Those settings are awesome. I mostly shoot with Nikon. But using Sony for some of my portraits.
Thank you very much, enjoyed it!
Dear Mark
I have a A7R iii and enjoy photographing people. I just recently tuned up my presets to follow you advice here. I use 85 f1.4 and 24-105 for flexibility. I just had the opportunity to be with my 98 yr old Mom and all the grandchildren at the beach .. lots of birthdays..
I did use a flash while outside just so I had good light.
Perfect shots
Mark all the photos were tack tack sharp!! Eye focus perfect
Thank you Mark wonderful memories
Thanks for sharing!
So useful, Mark!
Great info. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I am using Sony a7iii very helpful I will try this out this weekend. I love all your videos

This was really helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Just bought the AR7111, so thank god I found this!!
It helped me a lot also, Thank you !
Amazing .. The only real Ambassador
He’s not a real Ambassador-he’s just a naughty boy!
Very helpful, Mark. Was thinking of getting the A7Riii for a Venice workshop coming up, and i currently have the A9. There were subtle differences in the menu memories, and you covered them here...I did not know that the 1,2, and 3 buttons on the A7Riii would basically capture ALL the menus while in the A9 they do not capture the drive mode and focus modes!!! That is epic information, that I do not think is anywhere out there currently!!! Thanks s lot. A7Riii SOLD!!!
Awesome Content!!! Thanks You!!!
Amazing. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
excellent tutorial, thanks

Hi Mark. Great video that was at the right pace with easy to understand supporting information. Thank you! I’m 90% closer to where I need to be. There are some changes to the menus (I’ve just purchased the A7Riv) and as a result I can’t actually make the same selections as the options simply don’t exist (presume they have just moved). Lock on af expanded spot is where I’m stuck. Do you know if the “lock on” bit has just moved elsewhere or if things just work differently?
I can’t wait to see if your settings will increase the hit rate I was getting on attempt #1 with no prior Sony experience! Thanks again 👍
Great content!
so helpful!!!
