Hands down the best Sony A74 user guide on youtube.

Hi Jared, I can't begin to express how grateful I am to you for you taking the time and trouble to put such an excellent tutorial together. 90 minutes of my time very well spent. I've just bought mine and the AF has blown me away (coming from an X100F, which I still adore). A stellar performance from you will enable me to come to terms with the camera's capabilities so much quicker than trial and error, more often error, in my experience. I'm sure I now have it 95% set up the way I want it, with just a little tinkering to do (hey, that's half the fun of ownership). Top man! Thanks again, Greetings from London, ''Hippo''

DUDE, THANK YOU! I've been reading my camera manual over and over but some of the really basic parts weren't covered. This was my jump from a Pentax K1000 SLR to mirrorless and the leap was bigger than I expected. I watched other YouTubers to get an idea, but many would tell you to adjust something but not why, and wouldn't cover each setting. This video was the first that made it all make sense to me. Much thanks to you and Steven.

Hey man I bought your intro to photography course several years back and it was awesome. Really nice to see you providing free info like this from an actual expert. Cheers!

I just like to watch even that I don't have the camera (but I dream to have this camera). Now I'm with a Sony crop sensor and investing in good full frame glass. So when I save enough, I will buy it. But thank you Jared for been so helpful to the community! Your work is awesome.

Jared, you have the best user guides on the internet! We also need an a7iv real world review.

[Ryan_Powers]

You're a life-saver. I just bought this camera here on mainland China and it turns out there are no English menus. and supposedly, a firmware update won't fix it. Stupid of me for not asking about it before buying it, but I've bought Lumix S5 and Canon RP before here also and asked about the menus and this time, I just let my guard down. I used your video and just followed all the steps. Thanks again!

I’ve been a hobbyist still shooter since the 1980’s. I looked at several YouTube videos on the A7iv and this is by far the best. This is my first hybrid camera and I liked that the beginner material wasn’t dumbed down to the point I lost interest and stopped watching. I also applaud that you didn’t push your customization, many channels did. Subscribe and liked

Thanks so much for this I just recently purchased my A7lV and was clueless, it’s my first camera ever, thanks to you I believe I’m all set and ready to film

[julianmorales]

Thumbs have Just purchased this camera and watching your video for help...

[Jna_Visuals]

Great Video on the SonyA7iv! I just bought a Sony A7R iv & Im loving it! I used to watch all of Jared's reviews back when I started on a Canon rebel T5. I used to watch Jared's videos and tell myself "Wow! I'll never be able to afford the equipment or cameras jared has" but here I am 6-7 something years later, still shooting photography. Finally making money off my photos & getting the gear i've always wanted. Jared your videos have been such a life changer! All the video guides this guy has are amazing! "Getting out of Auto video guide" changed my life! Thank you Jared.

Best tutorial period. I came from canon to the a4 and I’m so excited but the buttons and display are so foreign to me and i followed along with this and it is so easy. I do real estate photography and getting into more video now.

[SantoshAM]

1h university degree classes i didn't take it seriously but 1h 30m camera guide i watched it without break. thanks man well explained and made more interesting with your humor ... funny + educational.

[johnlovell]

I've been waiting for this video since my A7 IV came in the mail. Great stuff. Thanks Jared!

[alvincheam]

Just got myself an A7 IV and you’ve got me set up in no time. Thanks for the great and thorough content!

[shotbytoni]

This camera arrived to me last week from Allen’s photo in UT. I switch from the Canon M50 and the A7IV is a BEAST. Definitely worth every penny!

You're not the first but you're the best so I've had to hold off until I got notice this video was posted. Now I can make my a7IV sing the FroKnows way. Thanks for sharing this!
