I didn't ask for this but it was very informative. I will apply on my next shoot!
Im a rookie. Im a makeup artist who want to shoot besuty couse there is not many photographer since i moved to the country . How do i shoot close up beauty potraits setting and focus wise ?and what lense ? All reccomendation is gladely welcome 😍hugs form Europe
You’re the reason why I purchased the A7iii, I’ve been in love with it ever since. Your tutorials helps soooooooo much
I love how Diana gives you a bad time constantly ! 🤣 Makes the videos fun to watch as well as informative !
latina
Dale Whitehead exactly!! Funny!
I fully thought his 'alright guys i'm gonna stop the video here' - was going to address Diana and throw up some proof of the comments lol
Dale Whitehead that’s the best part
Manny, I know this is 3 years old but I just purchased the Sony A7R III and this tutorial helps me out. Thank you!
The A6000’s have great autofocus features, something I miss so much when I got the A7II. Can’t wait to get the A7III
I first had the A7II as well. It's night and day difference with A7III autofocus. There is eyeaf on A7II if you map it to a button. I didn't know that for the longest.
@@stevesvanderpool8653 is that really? I've got the A7ii and the camera store told me it does have eye af, i have tried to set it to a button but i can't select it, it always says it does not work with this lens, and i have tried multiple lenses
me 2 i upgraded from the same to the same.
Thanks for adding that BTS part at the end. It's nice knowing that things aren't all seamless and peachy when making a video and that you have to do multiple takes to get things right, and also to have fun with it.
@mannyortiz There's an easier way to do this. Set your camera to af-c and flexible spot with back button af then map the ael button to af-on plus register af (af-c plus wide). This way af-on is flexible spot and ael is af-c plus wide. No more changing af points but just 2 buttons that controls both.
After shooting Nikon for the past 20 years, I switched over to the Sony camera system at the beginning of April. I was playing around with my Sony A7 iii at a wedding and ran into this same issue. The camera was focusing all over the place, and I did not understand what was happening. I am already a subscriber of yours and knew somewhere on your channel you provided us with the content on this problem. I’ve changed my setting to yours, and I’m off and running. Thanks.
Manny Captured “The One” a long time ago. He doesn’t need capture one . 😁
Lmao
Photo-Me-Ike 🙂👍🏻

wooo hooo
Yooooooo!!! nailed it lol
I love this content. Makes me (the viewer) feel like I’m part of it. Having Diana not only as a model, but a genuine person was awesome.
Your wife is so beautiful but also so funny. You guys are a great match. Love how your focus on multiple brands, equipment and software while providing real live perspectives. Keep it moving Bro.
David N. Beasley Jr. multiple brands? Bruh always in Guess apparel 😂
@@mrmar90 i think he means, he is using Nikon, Sony and other (camera) brands instead of clothing brands, though correct me if i'm wrong.
I love the fact that your wife is so supportive. I was just telling my girl how appreciative I am that she supports my passion. So kudos to you guys.
Thanks for sharing Manny and Diana! You guys have inspired me to go Sony! I’ve been watching your videos to help me prepare for the switch! Great work!
Britney Sharp I made the switch about a year ago and never looked back. You’ll love it!
@@houstoninternationalmedia3408 thanks! I just got it last Thursday! It's definitely a game changer! Now I'm trying to figure all these Sony components!
Britney Sharp yeah it’s a lot to figure out at first. Just keep watching manny and other great Sony users and you’ll great in no time!
Houston International Media thanks! Currently doing so!
Thank you Manny for all your videos you made a huge difference in my photography life. I hope you stick around for many more years!
The love you have for photography ( not just Sony) but all Art. I will continue to follow your work. I learn a lot from your videos. Just a question, can you do more Nikon ideas...lol
Its probably hard when Manny shoots Sony. Dont wanna sound like negative whining asshole but id suggest you to get learn how your camera works and get used to it. I shoot with Nikon d7200 and man, i wish the body could do more, since i love to shoot in low light (alot in the night time) and the 1 stop from more from fullframe sensor would give me so much more. Cant afford better camera atm so got to work with that!
Got the a7iii today and I asked myself this question. Manny had already answered. He's awesome!
Diana: “well there you go...you answered the question that no one had asked”
😆
too late to win the programme capture one, I saw this video announced on my telephone and lost it, but I'm happy that I found it again, Thanks for these tips which must seem so elementary too you now, but soo good to us out there in the middle of thousands of youtubers each telling us how to get the best out of our sonys, stay natural manny, you are very good in what you do!!
Manny: "Oh whats next"
Diana: "Guess"
Diana's hilarious persona.. And Manny's knowledge/inputs.. A perfect video.. This is a great tip.. Thanks alot..
First time commenting on any TH-cam video ! Influenced my A7iii purchase ! Love the vids !! (also I love Capture One ;) )
Great tip! It even works great on A7II In AF-S and with AF-C the face detect still works and In both AF-C and AF-S that flexible spot takes over when the face Is not there 👍 so nice tip! Thanks Manny😊
Your wife is AWESOME! my wife is the same and I love her for keeping me real. Sending you guys all my energy 🤗
Since I have Sony A73 for last week, I'm still learning so much on this camera. And you made it much simplier with this. Thanks!
Nobody:
Manny Ortiz: "Since I've been getting so many questions on what settings I use..."
hahah love your videos!
I always had issues with the autofocus Eye with hair being in the way. This was a great Tip. You guys are great!! Thank you!
"Nobody has asked him anything about it" 🤣 I love how you guys are on camera.
Manny,
Thanks for answering the question that’s has been a challenge for me for a while. I have tried different settings but couldn’t get it to work right.
This did it for me.
Thanks for answering the question that Diana didn’t think anyone asked or needed the answer to. Sorry Diana ☹️
Y’all have to be one of the funniest couples in America🤣
You're the reason why my husband has learned so much!!! Both of you guys are the best!!! Thank you!!!!
I liked using capture one... its just a bit more expensive 😭. Sliiide that free year over here fam
Even though I didn't ask this question, I'm glad you posted it because it was something i was worrying about with regards to grabbing proper focus in those situations
This is actually a great tip. I’ve had some issues in low light conditions losing the eye and I lose all focus on the area I want to focus on because of that WIDE setting. I’ll have to try this out. Looks like it will help me at least move to the area I want to focus on rather than depending on the camera and waiting on it to decide. Thanks Manny. Appreciate the tip. - #ShootDopePics
I have been struggling with this since I got this camera last year this was very helpful thank brother. And congratulations to who ever won the free program
great info
Thanks Manny and Diana.. I like watching you work together like that.
You’re a lucky man, beautiful wife, and absolutely hilarious 😂
The fact I was convinced into Sony cameras, I like your a Sony user for several years makes everything well worth it, thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video. This really helped me on setting up my Sony camera. You guys are really great together.
You guys are so funny I love how you both work together to
Impact the channel it’s a real inspiration to us married individuals looking to get on TH-cam with our significant others. Do you ever do beauty shoots I’m really interested in beauty photography? I’m trying to get into tethering so capture one might be the way to go
I have been struggling with this since I got the A7iii so make sure to let your wife know I am here asking about it! Thanks for showing the steps to make it seamless!
What a great advice!
Im about to put my hands on a a7riii this weekend!
Cant wait!🎉
I am a beginner in doing photography. Your vids are so wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I’m still waiting for the Manny & Diane TH-cam channel. I love your chemistry. You guys are truly blessed to have each other. I’m staying with Canon and continue to watch your channel. Keep up the great work.
Dude you have no idea how much this helped me. Thank you! I spent hours incorrectly messing with this before
Watching this vid
I have yet to updated my A7RIII that’s something I have to do when I get back home from my deployment! Love your videos! Keep doing what your best at!
Manny, thank you for inspiration! Your videos teach to trust yourself and try whatever camera and lens you have.
It's always great when I don't ask for anything but still get the useful info. 👌
That's amazing man! Didn't know you can full time eye af- wide mode as long as there is an eye or face. Super pro tip. Thanks Manny. Yes I've had it jump to random objects many times and it sucks.
Too funny!!! Your sweetheart keeps you sharp man. Happy for you! Takes a supportive partner in life to make our photography passion work. If she/they are unhappy, our passion suffers. Good for you guys!!📸👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Manny, I had used most of these features separately but did not know when/why to move from one setting to the other and when one took priority over another. Your demonstration connected all the dots for me and now I understand it. Big thanks - Chris
First of all thank you for all your great content you post. You really making me lean more towards Sony especially showing more capabilities of this camera of autofocus features.
Glad you 'read out' the difference in using flexible spot rather than wide for shots where the eye is not in view. Few have noted that the little boxes are actually focusing on the nearest point; actually, answering this question was important for us who have the tracking focus in one camera, but not in the A7 III (Sorry, Diana.)
Great info...I have been going back and forth with back button focus. But I think I really like using the shutter button instead. I love watching you two...you guys remind me of a younger version of my wife and I. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you guys much success!
I am cosidering the the A73 myself , thank you Manny and love your banter with your MRS .
This video is extremely helpful. I was getting frustrated with the little boxes focusing on the wrong subject. Gracias!!
This is a great trick that I would never have considered in my a7iii to toggle between eye af and non-face object af. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this video. It’s going to really help me out when I get my first Sony. Switching over from the Nikon z system to Sony and I am going to need all these tutorials to get up to speed with the new system. Tell the wifey this video was needed. Lol.
Manny i’m switching from a Canon 6D to an A7iii thanks to all your videos. Idk why i was stalling all this time. Anyway! Thanks!
I've been the owner of A7III for 4 days now and absolutely love it! I purchased it mainly to shoot videos, so can you please do some video/film making tutorials, covering some good settings etc.?
PS: Love the chemistry between you two! :D
Manny I love how you are always honest in your reviews and how clear you are with your tutorials. Thank you for being a big inspiration and continuing to serve in the photography community.
You inspire me Manny!!! I got the Sony because of you! It's been amazing. My first professional camera 🥰 thank you for the vids. I cant wait to know the capture one!
Gonna try this on my first shoot ever today. Wish me luck. Thanks Manny
Thanks for the focus settings, means a lot. Other Photographers maybe curious on how other photographers shoot, tricks and tips and settings.
Thanks for video Manny, I’m a canon shooter but I love your videos. I’m trying to learn portraiture so I can do weddings and portraits in future, mainly shoot landscape and street right now.
You two rock. You complement each other and there is a love vibe. Nice to see and listen to. Enjoy life. Thank you
Thank you for these tips! just got the A7Riii after sold my almost all my Canon gear.. So far been a great switch and thriving to learn more especially for portraiture with the Sony body . I recognize your work in Best Buy store on the display! Awesome photo and love the colors you use! I'm still learning to edit as well hah! Thanks again!
Great tutorial as allows Manny! You helped me get the max out of my A7III, all the best!
Totally agree about Capture One, most powerful raw editor on the market. I would love to get a Pro licence 😉
Keep the good work Manny, Sony should also thank you as I bought an A7R3 because of you. Thanks for all the content!
Actually, he answered a question I was wondering about. Kudos to Manny. Thank you.
super helpful. as always, informative and engaging. and frankly, i am still digging the two of you on camera. nice vibes between you both. stay well. thumbs up.
I Love how you and DIana keep it so real. Thanks Manny for your videos. Ive learned so much from you.
Manny I learned a lot from you videos so please keep it up and keep Diana around she is FUNNY😄
Great video Manny. I usually turn off the center lock on focus and use the touch focus function which gives me a flexible spot to work with. I then just have to cancel the flexible spot by pressing the center button and takes me back to the wide focus mode which is set as the default option. This works really well, even better than using the joystick especially when using the viewfinder. To me, this is faster than changing from wide to flexible spot and then back again.
Thank you. I went and got my camera and made the adjustments. And it works great.
excellent set up, sorted my issues of having shots not as pin sharp as id want. cheers for sharing
You two are the best TH-cam photography couple!
Always looking on making my skills better with info like this
I never heard of that program.. I want to research more about it .. I always learn something from your videos .. 🙏
Thanks for the AF breakdown....the eye auto focus is life changing!
Speaking from the female perspective, I think it would be super cool for Diana to do a beauty tutorial on how to do makeup for photography.
Crazy I was searching your videos Friday night To see if you had something like this. I had rented the Sony A7iii for a shoot on Saturday.
Great info been wanting to have a travel camera other then my APS-C Fuji. I bought an A7ii and wasn’t impressed at all by the auto focus it was awful honestly. The lack of joystick was a bummer too. I am humoring trying the A7iii to have a full frame walk around camera that’s the size of a Fuji. Tell her this was EXACTLY the video I needed to sway me to try the A7iii as a contender! Thanks dude!
I asked in my head 🤷🏾♂️. Manny Out here reading minds
Bro thanks for schooling us with your knowledge, I Definitely learn alot from you. I also purchased my first camera cause of your videos.
Love your videos Manny! My lady & I, inspire to be a team like you & Diana!
LOL That's teamwork right there. Photography looks so fun and I am waiting to start having fun. Just need to get out and shoot more.
You’ve always been putting out informative videos. Thank you for this one.
I’m glad you decided to make this video even though nobody asked for it
Great tips, I shoot mostly weddings with 2 A7iii and the Eye-AF is unreal!!
Thank you for your time and efforts!
Would love that Capture One Licence.
That focusing systems does seem super convenient. I don't use Sony cameras much currently, but having the best of both worlds with continuous eye/face priority plus selection looks amazing. Nice job on the video. :)
With someone like Diana in your side. You’ll never be bored😎.
Bro I got my A7III watching a lot of your videos thanks for the helpful info keep up the awesome work! Love your interactions with Diana it makes it that much more fun to watch 🤣
Manny, tell Diana that you are so attuned to your viewers needs that you just know what we want to watch! Thanks for clearly explaining the best autofocus settings now that we have updated our Sony cameras with the latest firmware. I am feeling the need to go back and revisit all my in camera settings to see if they are still optimal. A quick tutorial on A7iii/riii in-camera menu settings in 2019 might be very helpful ( I am asking you, Diana, ha,ha!) Jonathon looks like a patient young man but surely he is Diana's baby bro -not her son!
That’s her son alright lol
@@MannyOrtizShe got you both 'trained'. ha.ha!
Thank you Manny! I feel like I owe you money every time I watch your videos! I am a new Sony photographer this helps me out a lot! Bdw your wife is gorgeous!
I didn't askfor this, but I have just got my new A7iii and this video is a huge help to get me started, thank you!!
Brother, I appreciate this as it gave me a foundation basis to start off with my Sony A7RIII.
Loving the video's Manny! It was you that got me going in portrait photography so thank you for that. I'm down for anything that will kick my photography game up, so ide love to get that capture one licence. Keep up the dope work!
I didn’t know I needed to ask for this.... Because now I know something I didn’t know. Manny you can read our minds😮😳😳😳😳 GOAT 🐐 🙏🏽💯
You probably still have your po-po senses!! I also use the same focus setup! Can you post a video of how you contact models for your shoots?! Thank you!
