Sony Video Autofocus Settings | AF/MF Button | (a7iii, a7riii, a7siii)

In this video, I show you the best settings for autofocus and MF using Sony cameras such as the a7iii, a7riii, a7siii, and basically every other sony mirrorless camera. I will show you a trick on how to quickly switch from autofocus to manual focus to pull off a "focus pulling effect" racking the focus to a subject and back to another. I'll also briefly show you my custom buttons that have to do with autofocus and manual focus along with any settings I have when shooting video.

Thanks for the settings! made my day, I was wondering how to toggle between auto and manual focus while in video shooting mode. Your sample scenarios on how you use your toggle AF on/off are a bit offputting though, I mean not very practical. Who'd rack from tree to bike and back - for what creative purpose? same with the window and flowers..

For your talking head portion, is it auto or manual focus? My a7iii has been acting funny lately on autofocus and i can see it tracking in and out.. almost like background is zooming in and out slightly but subject is still in focus

Andrik, Great video... I have an issue I'm trying to solve. on the AIII I can't seem to show where the camera is auto-focusing. meaning I want it to show a green block where ever the camera focusing automatically when in photo or movie mode. (Specially recording)
