Thank you Chris for creating this tutorial for the Sony A7iii. I just wanted to thank you not only for myself but for the many viewers that may not have commented but viewed this video. Sony may never create such a superb camera that exceeds expectations like this again.

Sony interface is absolutely hardest than other famous camera brands. I am switched Canon old Dslr (600D) to Sony A73 and i just like hit the wall when when i first saw the sony interface:/) Your content is lifesaver. Thanks a lot

Best camera settings video I have seen.Thanks

[JakeSloan]

Great video Chris. We have our A7IIIs setup very differently and yet our workflow is really similar. I love that about Sony cameras. So many options to customize.

Had to pause this half way through the video just to tell you I love you for making my life so much easier now lol

OMG!! After over two years of using this camera I figured this out now lol! I have had so much rage because I had to switch so many settings between video and photo mode. Thanks for sharing this!

Chris, YOU ARE THE BEST! I just purchased my A7iii a few weeks ago and I've been struggling with my settings. I literally followed each step and solved so many issues I was having haha

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Great video, Chris. Your tip about keeping the custom buttons the same for photo and video is spot on. When I first got the camera, I customized it differently and found myself constantly fumbling around because my C1or C3 button had a different function than it did 10 minutes earlier when I was shooting a photo. It was frustrating enough to do exactly what you recommended. Always enjoy your content.

Great job with this video bro. You realized that nobody addressed it and rose to the challenge. I've been following you from 5k bro and i'm loving seeing your growth king. Keep going! Love your work

It never ceases to amaze me that someone would buy a $2, 000 full frame camera + Lenses that doesn’t understand how to setup their camera, you would think they were upgrading from a A6000, series camera, this is just a progression..I’ve watched a few of your lens videos and you make sense in your opinions.

Just got my a7iii today (to add to my 6600, zv-1 and a6000) This video is awesome!

[BryceKoebel]

This is super helpful!!
I change my video settings quite often so i've assigned C4(garbage can) to Memory to quickly save settings which I've found to be super helpful!

I intend to get this camera in a few months, so this video is extremely helpful for me, especially since I am switching from Canon. Thank you so much for this!

[AnaisandMarina]

You encouraged me to buy the a7iii and get the 85mm lens instead of the kit lens. Thank you for your content!

[richielambe]

Brother thanks so much for this .. you just sorted my new much love

[heinsite]

Best tip for me here was clarifying how to lock the settings for the 1 & 2 options on the mode wheel. That had me confused for a long time.

[carlweiscodes]

Thank you for this video! Exactly what I needed to make switching between photo, 30p, 120p.

Hi Chris, just came across your channel recently and I’ve been binge watching! Great content and information. If I could have some really been debating between 3 cameras and I’m stuck. The GH5, A7iii, and lumix-S1 (all totally different cameras, I know lol). Primarily I need 4K video (some gimbal and some handheld) but will also be taking stills. Most will be done outdoors in Texas...so overheating scares me. I’ve seen your 6 month and 1 year videos on the A7iii and you didn’t experience that, but that’s my biggest worry after seeing some other reviews. I love the awesome ibis and 4K 60p on the Panasonic cameras but I feel the A7iii is the best value. With all of that being said and considering the lens ecosystem - what do you suggest? Sorry for the length of this but I truly appreciate it. Btw belated congrats on your baby Harper...I recently welcomed a baby too!

Great video Chris. The information for me was very valuable as I'm just starting out with videos. I haven't found anyone to answer my original question that I came on here in search of though. That is, How do I switch from viewing photos to viewing videos on my Sony a7iii? It will only display for viewing the last thing I did whether video or photos. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm overlooking and that's probably obvious to everyone else.
