Custom Buttons Setup | Fast Filmmaking Settings For The Sony a7Siii & FX3 Part 2

Here is how to setup the custom buttons, function menu, mode dial, and custom menu for FAST filmmaking with the Sony a7S III and FX3! These "Run & Gun" settings will put everything you need at your fingertips, meaning you essentially never have to dive deep into the menus.

Music licensing sites I recommend:

0:00 Intro
1:10 Custom Buttons Setup
7:26 Mode Dial Setup
12:53 Function Menu Setup
17:24 My Menu Setup (Custom Menu)
23:55 a7S III & FX3 LUTs

Hope this helps you film even faster with this camera!

This was hands down the best video series I have found for the A7s III - THANK YOU! I have had this for ages but never had the time (nor, frankly, the expertise) to get the most out of it. Hopefully, that will now be closer to reality!

Great video Matt. You're awesome. You inspired me to a YouTube channel here in Africa. And now, anytime I talk about a Sony cameras, I can't help but to talk about your genius to my audience. Still a very little channel but with inspiration from you I'm sure this will be great.
You're the real champ!

i just got an a7s3 yesterday and put in your custom settings download. this is also my first mirrorless camera ever owned (prior gopro user) I've watched this video like 10 times now trying to remember and figure out how to work this Flux Capacitor. however i have thoroughly enjoyed your videos.

I watched this video when first released and it was a big help in setting up my A7siii. Now I haven't been shooting for a while and no one has done a better job of describing the proper and best set up for this camera than you. And by the way, there is no description in the Sony manual that begins to explain the functions the way you do. Many thanks again. Clear and concise.

[tombuck]

Thanks for this! I honestly had a great time changing my settings while following along with both videos. It was like a low stakes video game 👍

[sebastian_barr]

Your videos are just the best, and your channel is successful for a reason. THANKS!

[RVSquaredSteve]

This Part2 is Another WINNER. I used it to translate to my new A7 IV with just a few exceptions. Now it's just a matter of remembering where everything is! HA. I make notes for each change, because unfortunately, Sony doesn't make a way to backtrack to the "default" setting for a single option. Only useful for those "OCD" times of wondering, "Hmmm, what was the default value?"
THANKS AGAIN, MATT...GREAT JOB!

Thank you Matt your laid-back demeanor and knowledge is always a pleasure. I’ve been watching you for years.
I specifically do wildlife filming. Do you have a recommendations on Settings, frame rate, codec picture profile for wildlife on A7s3 curious minds want to know
Thanks Van

[josephfriedman]

Thank you for this video. I've been procrastinating tackling MENUS and the rest of the setup for literally months. This was very helpful.

[lesautres-laserie]

Extraordinarily useful video, and I love the kind of presence Matt has : knowledgeable, practical, and authentic.

[jamesricks]

The video that changed my life. I have been using this camera since launch, and this would have saved me so much hassle, and This will make my future shots better. Thank you!!!

[costfe]

These 2 videos are public service. Brilliant! Thank you!

[Sollosz]

Thank you! Just received my A7s3 and this will save me so much time setting up. I love your use of all the knobs and buttons. Ready to run and gun shoot!

[GiancarloBiondi]

Useful advice, thank you! But I miss that buttom that adds an "S" and turns my A73 into an A7S3 😉

[terryoneill]

Honestly this is the missing manual for shooting video on the A7S3. So much work & info, thanks!

[TAPPChannel]

thanks Matt... All set... I just screw all of my first shots from Milwaukee Bucks Championship Parade and Our trip to the West. Now I'll gave to deal with those XAVC HS 4K files that and already can tell that stabilizing them will take me for ever... But got some stunning shots from Glacier NP and Yellowstone But since 'm not coming back there anytime soon looks like I have no choice and will give my computer a hard time soon... Thanks. Cheers

[jermainenaidoo]

You rock man!!! Just moved to Sony this week, its like a whole new world

[MonokiMedia]

I've referred to these two videos multiple times so THANK YOU for taking the time to make them. I prefer to do all this manually rather than just download your settings as it gets me more familiar with the menus. Now the firmware has been updated for the A7s3 would you do an update? Also some help specifically setting up the FX3 would be super useful as some of the settings differ. I have one of each.

[herrreinsch]

I love run and gun shooting. It's the most fun thing in film making (in my opinion) thanks for making this.👍
