In this video, I show you how I setup my Sony A7RIII/A7III for Portraiture! These are the settings that work for me and that I have used for some time now.

Let me just say that I love how you don't edit out every little error you make while talking to the camera. It is so authentic and I respect that!

Manny... youve just saved me & countless others frustration when using flash.. "shot result preview" ..thats genius... not seen that or heard about it... thank you..

[Awwstruk]

Man.... you just sent me here from the roller skate video and this is such a huge help. I really appreciate you taking the time to not only make these amazing educational videos but to also respond to your fans and point them in the right direction. Can't thank you enough! - JB

OMG my mind is blown with your C#3 custom seeting! i didnt even know it had that feature to see the ambient light.

I love ya Manny! That C3 Shot Results Preview is a life saver! I used to have to take the Profoto Air remote completely off the hotshoe just to see how much I wanted to underexpose ambient light...Even turning off the remote off would not work, It had to be removed! Thanks so much!

[MannyOrtiz]

Did you know of the Shot result preview feature in these cameras? It’s a lifesaver if you use flash! (I learned this trick through Rob Hall on Youtube)

[fredd]

I was literally just googling how to see ambient with a flash attached ( just got the Godox 860iiS) ...and BAM! I got the notification for the new video I'm setting mines to C3 right now.. Thanks a million.👊🏿

I set up my wheel to be my ISO. I love this feature and makes changing ISO crazy fast for me. I also added Format to my favorites/custom menu.

That custom button for rating is gonna change my workflow fr, amazing tip for portraits

[GaryJahman]

I remember when I came across the shot preview by accident. It was like I discovered gold or something. Good vid again!

[rhowell]

Thanks Manny! Just switched to Sony from a Nikon D810. Mirrorless seems like a different world, your videos help me a lot. Keep up the good work brotha!!

[Jwitherow]

Wow this one thing changes my work flow the c3 button for flash and ambient Thank you manny your amazing

[lifeofpauls]

Manny, I'm so glad a found your channel a little while back. I bought my 14 year old daughter a (a)6000 with kit lenses. I'm having a blast playing around with it. I shot Canon way back like in the film days. I plan on getting myself an a7iii and a nice 85mm lense in May for my birthday. I love all your content and tips that you share. Keep being amazing. Thanks so much:-)

Got this canon eos r new out the box, about to test it tomorrow searching for that sweetspot

[RealRaynedance]

I actually just set mine up more like yours (for stills) because of this. I had C1 - White balance, C2 - Focus area, C3 - Focus mode, and C4 - SteadyShot length. Now C1 and C2 are focus area and mode, C3 is silent shutter, and C4 is still SteadyShot length (main portrait lens is a Nikon 80-200 f/4). Video C1 and C2 are the same as stills, C3 is Picture Profile, and C4 is recording level.

Flash preview is awesome, big thumbs up for that one setting

[baolorien]

Your channel convinced me to get a A7III + 85 Gmaster!

[maile]

Thank you Manny! Always love your videos! Happy Thanksgiving to you and family!

[NickPowellPhotography]

Oh my god.... Shot result preview??!! Why have you been so tucked away in my menu and not spoken to me yet. 😂

Seriously Manny, thank you so much for pointing this out. I do a lot of interior property photography, and have always been switching my trigger off to get the right exposure for the outside when using flash.

You Sir.... Are a god! 🙏📸😊

Manny, you can change the type of shutter with a custom button. page 12/20 on the A7RIII (and A7III) has the option of Silent Shooting. This can be assigned a button.
