I just bought this camera today, and I'm feeling excited about it

[ilkoallexandroff]

I’m using the A7iii for all my YouTube videos as well! 80% I’m using the Sigma 85mm F/1.4 art lens, it’s awesome! Cheers from japan!

WHO ELSE THINKS THESE VIDS ARE SOOO HELPFUL


small YouTuber here 🥺❤️

[anthonyoresteen]

Thanks! I've had my A7 III for a year and I am now just trying to shoot video with it. Very helpful! I'll have to watch it a number of time to get all the info to sink in. Well done.

I use my iPhone to record video. It records 4K at 30fps and is great for what I do. It is a really good option for people on a budget or just beginning like me, because most people already have some sort of smart phone in their pocket. I will say though. I would suggest if recording with a smart phone, or really any camera. Make sure you are in a well lit room. It’s always better to be *OVER* lit than *-UNDER-* lit because you can always turn down your brightness without losing quality in your video but adding exposure in post can lower the quality or add grain to you video. Hope that was helpful to any beginners. 🤘🏻👊🏻😁

Grey card is typically used for exposer not color balance. But hey...it's working for ya so who am I to judge! Besides...done is better than perfect! 😜 I'm using the Canon M50 for now, but I very much want the Sony A7iii so of course I'm gonna watch this video! You're killing it Omar!

[Lifewithstan]

[BobbyKDesigns]

ABSOLUTELY KILLER! I feel like the stars just aligned! I just bought my SONY A6400 per Sean's advice, super happy with it, and I was literally about to watch a tutorial on how to set up the camera. You guys just saved me HOURS stumbling around on youtube trying to find this exact content! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! BTW: You're a NATURAL OMAR! See you all in Vegas!

[teni_of_all_trade]

This tutorial is super awesome 👏!!!!❤️❤️❤️👌🔥

[TechnoDad]

What's up OMAR!!! Woot woot! Great job man! What no love for Panasonic??? GH5 in the house baby!!

[GuiorPhotography]

I've been using the Fujifilm XT3. Love the color profiles, smooth footage and solid photography. Been enjoying it a lot. Still learning the proper audio balancing

[ConstructionKronies]

I have been using a Cannon 5D Mark ii and am planning to buy an a7iii. I have used Cannon all my life but now that I am in video I think Sony is the way to go. Thanks Think Media!

[coachgaya]

3 years later this video is still the best. Thank you so much Omar.

[teetee]

Well actually I bought the same camera for over a year now and didn't know how to set it up..this vidoe will help..thanks

[DallinSteiner]

Great video, thanks!

For everyone saying he’s going too fast, , YouTube does allow you to pause/rewind videos haha !!

[scottturner]

I just rented the Sony A7iii for the weekend. In the past month, I've rented the Gh5s, EOS R, and A7iii. Loved the GH5s, but it was an easy pass bc of the crappy autofocus. So far, the A7iii is the winner for me. Next week, I will try out the R5.

[KahlanJoy]

WOW!! I watched this channel years ago... Probably back in 2016/2017.. I've grown a lot but always struggle with video settings. THIS IS SO HELPFUL AND SIMPLE!!! Probably the most helpful video yet. Crazy. Thank you thank you. Also I'm using the Sony a7iii :) with a tamron 28-75mm

[KetterhagenC]

Using the sony 7iii. Got the camera for food photography and am thrilled it will be perfect for video! Thanks for this video—love the series!!!
