How to set up your A7S III for Filmmaking - Full Guide!

Here's my custom picture profiles, menu settings, button assignments, and Best SD cards for the new Sony A73!

NOTE: Some of the older "M" cards aren't labeled "V60" so if you're going to buy one
make sure its the newer ones that will work. If they don't say "V60" They won't.

Setup File (uncompress and put whole Sony folder on SD Card):

So good to have a pros take on the total setup not only shown, but the reasons why explained clearly and without any unnecessary fluff... makes perfect simple sense. Thank you Max

This is the video I needed, my A7SIII arrived in today.

[DigitalSlang]

Over the past 6 months you have become my go to tech youtuber for all my purchases..keep killin it bro

[mattgray]

I can’t help but be unreasonably jealous. Max has two and I’m still waiting for one. But I’ll still watch, like and day dream about that “out for delivery” notification.

[ZdenkaDarula]

AMAZING... thank you... I am switching from Canon to Sony so I was a bit lost... this really helped

[LoverOfTech]

This is the exact video I needed. Max is always the only one really doing these type of videos consistently and properly always👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[JustVlads]

Great video! Cant wait for mine to arrive.

[CaliradoKid]

Very useful video! Thanks for putting this together. I have this camera coming later this week and I'll definitely be starting with these settings!

[foilandwater]

Awesome video, thank you Max! I'm a Canon/Panasonic/Blackmagic guy who is venturing into Sony waters with the A7S3 ... glad i found your video.

[Staygold]

thank you for this video!! My a7siii just arrived an hour ago so this is very helpful!

[stevenlear]

Thanks Max, the PP1 example gave me great results without using my extremely limited colour grading skills.

[BrianTheCameraGuy]

Thank you Max for making this video. I really like seeing other people's idea of how to setup their camera. I am really glad you gave use something to download as well. Enjoy the cameras.

Thanks for an informative video, Max! I've had my a7sIII for about a week now and have a fairly good grasp of all the settings so far, but I still don't understand how to customize buttons (or even where the option is in the menu!). You quickly got into your personalized settings in the video but never showed where the menu was or how to set custom settings to some of the buttons, which would have been a little more helpful. The sample footage you used in the video is really beautiful.

Thanks for the video Max. I’ve been using canon 80D and that worked great for me but as I started to pick up projects here and there, I feel the pinch in low light and not having high frame rates... so I ordered this with a 50 and 85 mm Sony lenses... I’m super excited!

[Bvehon]

This is the video I needed. I appreciate Max’s simple and straight forward, yet thorough explanation of the settings.

Question: In the video Max customized a few of the Picture Profile settings (PP1, PP6 and PP8). Is there a reason to keep those picture profiles in those spaces or could I change those same settings to PP1, PP2 and PP3 for easier memory and access?

[proteus]

Such a lot to learn as your out and about with this camera. I think you have to marry the camera to know it off by heart...

[Clickumentary]

Max you always have the most *valuable* intel on camera settings.. this was so insightful (I haven't ordered my A7S3 yet, but..) Love your channel my guy.

[CreativeVideoTips]

This is excellent - great timing on getting this video out!

[paulfairchild]

Super helpful guide. So 10 bit 4.2.2. is very tough on editing rigs but 10 bit 4.2.0 works well. That's very good to know.

Thank you Max! I have my AS7III some days, so this video help me so much!
