Change Settings FAST! Sony Memory Recall Tutorial || Sony a7R V, a7 IV, a7S III

What's the quickest way to change camera settings fast in your Sony mirrorless camera?  Changing these settings on the fly can be a daunting task, and rather than going through your camera and frantically adjusting values setting by setting, there is a better and much easier way.

In this tutorial, I'll discuss Sony's powerful Memory Recall functionality within their cameras, and how you can utilize this to store and quickly recall your most commonly used photo, video and S&Q settings with just the turn of a dial.  We'll also cover a couple of additional and lesser-known Memory Recall options that will allow you to further store and recall custom settings using different methodologies, and discuss any caveats with these alternate methods.

While I'll primarily demonstrate this using my Sony a7R V, this tutorial and settings discussed will be relevant for many Sony Alpha cameras containing their newer menu system, including the a7S III, a1, a7 IV and the a6700.  Additionally, these same techniques can also be applied to cameras that utilize Sony's older menu system, including the a7 III, a7C, a7R III, a7R IV, a6600 and more.

Been using my A7IV for a year and didn’t realize I could save the priority mode to a recall setting! I love the recall settings and shoot manual most of the time but I do miss shooting in AP mode on occasion.

This was really helpful thank you!

I had a recent motocross shoot that required me to constantly switch between photo, 4k 24 and 120 HD on my A73. I spent the entire weekend frantically jumping through the menu to get the right settings between laps when all I had to do was program this. Live and learn lol, Thanks man

Thanks for a no-nonsense summary of Son'y Memory Recall. No wasted time with meaningless intros :) Have been somewhat confused about this for some time. Thanks for sorting this out for me [liked & subscribed]. Using a6700.

Excellent! I was just thinking about this, and about to search for it. Glad I started following your channel! I am getting back into shooting after several years, switched from Canon to Sony and really appreciate your tips, tricks and teachings, Andrew. THANKS!

[michaelpoczynek]

Thank you so much for making this video. I am now much less confused with my new A7R5. Thanks again for your time! 😀

Thank you for this video! helped a lot

[maxbull]

You have been so helpful in starting my RE photography business and youtube channel (A7iv). A thousand thanks.

can I have different operation customize options set for the different numerical presets?

[godsakes]

Any fix for the locked out custom white balance issue you get with memory recall?

[patricksommers]

Excellent instructions. I have a question: I have found that the camera - when shooting manual, has a bad habit of putting a * on my screen and freexze the settings. the only way I can find to unlock it, is turning the camera off and then back on. Do you know how to eliminate that function?

[chrisbanbury]

If I register camera settings to dial location "1" for say a legacy adapted manual focus lens, can I always go back to my default/typical autofocus settings at dial location "M" or do I need to use another dial slot, say "2" to keep these settings available? TY

[MagnetiqLabs]

I’m using Recall Custom Hold on a C1 button and it programmed to have a Continuous Shooting speed Hi+. So when I suddenly get a situation when I need to shoot something very dynamic (the person jumping for example) I hold my C1 button and while it is pressed I can shoot tons of photos in a seconds. But when I release the C1 button it became a normal continuous shooting speed

With the sony A7R5 how can you automatically save your last settings in photo and video.
On my Nikon when I switched from say photo and went to video then returned to photo all the settings I las tused are still there. With Sony I have to keep readjusting

[Naglfar]

I need to store "Select Finder/Monitor" VF in Photo mode and Monitor in Video mode, how can I do that? The camera doesn't store these settings when I use "Camera Set. Memory". Am I doning it wrong?

[dreamharmonics]

Hi, how to delete these recall memories, I tried to format the settings and the device they are still there, for example when I’m in M mode it’s picking MR2, any help?
