I wish the world knows how much your videos are important for filmmakers, and many people around the industry! Sound clear, go straight to the point, and you waste no seconds! I’ve been watching your channel for a really long time and this is the moment that I show my appreciation for you Matt!
No LUT support is the biggest joke ever. Like I spent $4500 on a a7siii just for an a6700 to be able to do something like that. But hey, have some PAID Custom Gridlines for $150. Biggest joke ever.
It really is man. One of the huge deciding factors in buying my FX3 was LUT loading/monitoring. And now a year later after real world use, I couldn’t live without it. Obviously external monitoring is different but having it in camera is essential.
You forgot the 2 features not really mentioned but are the most valuable.. at least for me.. I suggested them to sony staff some years ago... took a while: 1/24th shutter to have that little bit of extra light closed shutter when camera is closed to prevent dust when lens changing and i noticed much faster startup and readiness to record
Thanks for putting this out so quick. I just updated and was pleasantly surprised at the FX3 style menus and display. This in my opinion is as big of a deal as breathing comp. It makes the overall UX of the camera so much better. I also noticed that I can now shoot in 1/48 shutter! Overall quite pleased with the update. Would have liked to have shutter angle and cine EI but I can live with this.
Darn! As a Panasonic S1 / S5 shooter, I sure wish that Panasonic would allow for tiemcode in via the USB-C port on those cameras. Good on Sony for making this an option.
So pleased we have 24fps now. I was filming in 23.nearly 24 and now all of my videos will look sooooo much better and more professional I can't thank Sony enough for this absolutely monumental game changing update. I feel all of my previous work is garbage now. Thanks Sony!
Did they finally add a way to set your custom white balance/color temp using a neutral grey surface in presets 1-3 as opposed to having to switch to movie mode? 🤔
Hello! Don't do the update if you still use a ninja v or ninja v+ external raw. There are big problems with it... there are a few posts on reddit about that BIG problem... and one of the atomos answer is :" it’s Sony’s responsibility to fix this issue". Thank you Matt for your video !
The most important feature for me wasn't even listed in the changelog and you didn't mention it (you should): There's an AF Assist feature that lets you override tracking by manually focusing the camera. No more jumping to custom button to stop the focus to take over if something goes wrong. I wish more people would be talking about this.
As a Tentacle fanboy I’m STOKED with the new update!! Does this mean we can Jam Sync timecode into the camera?? Not having to keep a tentacle device attached would be V nice and save other wedding videographers heaps of $$
Hey Matt, thanks for the great video i also used your presets! There is also a hidden feature that you can now use the anti dust function an close the shutter when the camera is off! I just have a simple question, is it not possible to change the icons that appear on the display left and right? I can´t find it in the settings... Thanks in advance!
I like the shutter closing feature, and something that nobody else mentioned - the peeking always on option. What I’m always fighting for is good clean audio and good clean focus. I’m not worried about the lack of LUT support
Seriously FUCK them for that. That is something I want and now I gotta pay for it for their first update in two years. Fuck them fuck them… man that felt good to say.
@@whoismatt I really hope enough people complain and the rest don’t buy it so they make it free. I shoot surf video in the water and would love to have a quick glance for framing for TH-cam and Instagram reels simultaneously.
it will change on the Atomos ninja external raw external recording. Some people are complaining about that (The base ISO is now 80/1600 instead of 640/12800)
@@Intuifilm wow. That I don't like. I use Atomos Ninja V recorders for all my multi cam video shoots. I think I'm going to hold off from updating the firmware.
@@NAM3L3555 You always have more possibilities of breaking your camera when you're flimsy but would rather break the shutter than having the elements affecting the sensor and comeback with a clean footage.
Thanks for the video Matt. Quick question about the A7S III firmware update. Does it automatically add on the 1/48 shutter speed or will I need to download the separate DCI license to get 1/48 to work?
I’m a comedian and am torn between the A7Siii and FX3. I primarily will stick it on a tripod and film myself in comedy clubs (low light) 4K 24 perhaps as long as 30-45 minutes. Is it possible that the A7Siii will overheat? The FX3 has an internal fan and that’s the only thing making me second guess myself.
The "Monitor and Control" app that pairs with the camera has a False Color overlay feature that will be of interest to people doing Chroma-key/green screen work. I was wondering how the A7SII was going to dust cover the sensor and I see it doesn't seem to be included.
Thank you for the information! Did they add where the shutter door closes when the camera isnt on like in the a74? What about changing the shutter in increments to avoid flicker also a74 has this?
Thanks for the update Matt! Where is the variable frame rate or shutter angle though 😅 it would be so easy for Sony to be everyone’s go to if they offered this!
Matt, first I love your channel and I am subscribed. I have to say this breathing compensation feature is a bust for underwater filmmakers like me. This key feature is missing from most of their lenses. Unless you have a gmaster lens it appears this feature is greyed out. I went to the trouble of installing the 2.15 and 3.0 and I can't even use this feature. This is important for underwater macro applications such as with my 50 and 90 mm macro lenses. What has Sony said about this? Any updates coming?
After the update my wifi and bluetooth is not working ,can anyone tell me how to fix it ,anyone also has the same issue .. @whoismatt can u update on the same
Hey Matt, I just downloaded your presets. Thanks for sharing. I just wanted to let you know that with the update, you can now choose 1/48 shutter speed for your 24p video setting. I went in and made the change manually. Just an FYI!
@@Matticulous-Media I decided to update the firmware, and 1/120, 1/240 is not available. It's still 1/125 and 1/250. True 30, 60 and 120p is not available either. Only true 24p after installing a licence through the app on your phone (all free btw).
Not sure what you are referring to when talking about timecode from a Tascam X6 and the micro-usb cable. Your other video has no reference to it nor did I find any online guidance... Any thoughts?
Thanks for the update video, great stuff from you as always. Disappointed the update still doesn’t have lut support, focus mapping, or updated auto focus options but hey - that’s why I grabbed a zve1 I guess /shrug (minus the focus mapping)
Anyone with A7SIII experiencing an ISO bug (Native ISO remap to 80 and 1600) which results in a very noisy ProRes Raw footage after 3.0 update when recording in PRORES RAW with NINJA V (or any other bug after 3.0 update), I just spoke with a Sony rep on the phone. He said they had very few people contact them with this issue, and they are compiling evidence. So please go to Sony Support in your country (I'm in the US), contact the support (I did it through chat), describe the problem, and make them create a support ticket (don't get satisfied with their default troubleshooting attempts). The rep also said that having a well-made video demonstrating the problem is a big plus!
Thanks Matt Keep up the good work. Any idea how to lose the new menu screen on the back monitor? The display button on the back scroll wheel used to toggle between full screen and display modes but not any more.
Do you know if it causes any compatibility issue with 3rd party batteries? This is what happened with my FX30, it doesn't display the battery percentage anymore and it is showing warnings when I try to use them.
As someone who delivers horizontal and vertical video to clients, custom grid lines could be useful. Rule of thirds isn't quite the same. That being said, not paying $150 for it. I'll just stand back and reframe 😅
I have an important question. Before the new update, when I changed the automatic focus from the lens to the manual focus ( mode in the video mode ), "PEAK" appeared with the red color that I had previously determined, and again when I changed the focus from the lens to the automatic mode, "PEAK" was turned off in red. But after the update, when I turn on "PEAK" and put the lens in automatic mode, "PEAK" remains and Don't be off . where is the problem from ?
Did Sony mention previously they would be supporting luts in a7s3? I’m seeing many people disappointed that this wasn’t present in this update? Is it something forthcoming?
Hello timecode!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s sucks they didn’t add LUT support like they promise but I’ll take the ability to add timecode to the metadata any day!!!!!! And with that 24 update it comes with the ability to film in 1/48 another welcome bonus.

heyy matt! one quastion ! is there a way to display in recording screen (in discriptions) if i record with proxy or not? i can only check it at first new menus but in the old update was under the 4k-50 etc , thank you!
Great video as always. And fantastic news. Does anyone know whether there is also a 24.0 fps update for the other Sonys? I often shoot with an A7IV as a second camera and in very rare instances I‘m using a friends A1 for the 8K. It’d be great if all of these support true 24 so we can ditch 23.976 altogether.
wasnt dci 4k implemented in fx3 with the same width as normal 4k..? im under the impression that it was a fake dci on fx3, where they just cropped the top and bottom.. am i wrong? is this implementation actually proper dci 4k width?
Same feeling here, i'm in Pal country and noticed this false dci 4K too ! same horizontal field but croped vertical field. When i do the same on Fs7 i have same vertical but more horizontal field. So is it really a DCI on A7s3 or FX3 or another crop into the sensor with pixel bining? or do Pal country have a BUG ??????? I even tried to reupdated the firmware but when i am on v3.00 i can't ré-update it.... software indicate that is not good software system update....
Matt, Can you confirm us please because it is very important. If you confirm us that this 4k DCi run normally i prefer shoot in normal 4k and then do 4K DCI in editing software since there isn't more horizontal résolution.
Hi Matt, longtime subscriber, well I have tested a few things since the update and for me, the true 24p only works in DCI mode but reverts to 23.9 in XVASC I, not sure if its a region thing since I live in Jamaica but can you confirm if you have true 24 in other modes ie. 4kHS or SI etc
Wow, an actual update with meaningful features! Granted, they still have a few more things to add like shutter down when powered off (though the shutter may not have been designed for this mechanical operation), but this is a really good sign from Sony.
It’s disappointing 4K DCI is only available in the XAVCS-I mode. I wish it was also available in the other recording option for those of us who don’t use v90 cards.
I'm trying to update on my A7iv and it keeps failing, it just power cycles out and I have to remove the battery to be able to turn it back on. So strange!
@whoismatt I seem to have found an issue with the update or maybe there is a solution to my problem that I cant yet see but basically the focus peaking on setting instead of only working in manual focus it also works in AF mode and its always on or always off. If this was done intentionally I can't see why or maybe I'm the only one with this issue ??
This is how other Sony cameras are. Sony A7iv is like that out of the box. It’s so annoying as the peaking being on or off is a great indicator as to which mode your in
Hi Matt, I hope you're doing well. I need your help. My A7SIII suddenly stopped working while I was using it, and the red light is blinking. Even when I turn the camera off, it persists. Can you please help me identify what might be causing this issue? Thanks.
Amazing channel. So informative. How do you actually add in custom gridlines ? Create png files? Download png files ? Purchase dng files? Is the size of the gridlines dependent in the size oif the sensor (apsc/full frame) i dont see a tutorial for installing custome gridlines. Can you or any help because i actually think for some there is a use case for custom grid lines for bwtter framing and workflow for certain social media aspect ratios- 4:5, 9:16 etc. thanks for the amazing informative videos !!!
I updated my a7S III and installed your presets. Now the camera does not turn on anymore. I changed battery already but still does not work. Any suggestions?
I want to upgrade my camera from Sony a7iii to other in coming August, Is it still ok to buy a7siii now? or should i wait for a7siv ? any recommendations will be helpful. (I dont like a7iv's 4k crop in 120fps)
@@whoismatt yes right, I absolutely love a7iii, but sometimes there's requirements of shooting 4k 60/120 then, we must need a camera that match up right?

Why does my a7s III sensor look sideways? I tried sticking a flathead screw driver in there to straighten it out.
Do you know that while I have 2 cards saved on the screen, it only shows one?
wasnt dci 4k implemented in fx3 with the same width as normal 4k..? im under the impression that it was a fake dci on fx3, where they just cropped the top and bottom.. am i wrong? is this implementation actually proper dci 4k width?
Same feeling here, i'm in Pal country and noticed this false dci 4K too ! same horizontal field but croped vertical field. When i do the same on Fs7 i have same vertical but more horizontal field. So is it really a DCI on A7s3 or FX3 or another crop into the sensor with pixel bining? or do Pal country have a BUG ???????
I even tried to reupdated the firmware but when i am on v3.00 i can't ré-update it.... software indicate that is not good software system update....
Matt, Can you confirm us please because it is very important. If you confirm us that this 4k DCi run normally i prefer shoot in normal 4k and then do 4K DCI in editing software since there isn't more horizontal résolution.
Thanks matt you know we been waiting on the focus breathing
No lut preview in camera? :(
The focus breathing compensation is just a crop isn't it?
Hi Matt, longtime subscriber, well I have tested a few things since the update and for me, the true 24p only works in DCI mode but reverts to 23.9 in XVASC I, not sure if its a region thing since I live in Jamaica but can you confirm if you have true 24 in other modes ie. 4kHS or SI etc
Interesting! I haven't had a chance to test it yet but I will see if mine performs the same way.
nice ... but no video lcd display menue like the FX3, right?!
Yes there is!
@@philipbloom oh good … I think that is also a essential part of the update… ✌🏻
One thing not mentioned is the updated menu system, it now has the same as the fx3/fx30
Yup! It’s a nice surprise to see them bring that over
I am stumped on how to load the settings. The import button is greyed out when I try to load them. Any ideas?
Wow, an actual update with meaningful features! Granted, they still have a few more things to add like shutter down when powered off (though the shutter may not have been designed for this mechanical operation), but this is a really good sign from Sony.
We can hope that they will continue adding more features from their newer cameras!
They actually added this! Menu>setup>setup option>anti dust function
@@welshsimon You’re kidding. I’ll have to check this when I can update my camera. HUGE deal if they added this.
Yeah they added it
Can you control A7S III with new FW from gimball now? It stopped working for me with Zhiyun Weebill S...
If I do not like the result of update and I run Camera Settings Reset will I get the firmware I had before I ran Firmware Update?
Nope, you cannot downgrade
It’s disappointing 4K DCI is only available in the XAVCS-I mode. I wish it was also available in the other recording option for those of us who don’t use v90 cards.
I'm trying to update on my A7iv and it keeps failing, it just power cycles out and I have to remove the battery to be able to turn it back on. So strange!
Still no update to retain white balance when switching your mode dial 😕
Nope
@whoismatt I seem to have found an issue with the update or maybe there is a solution to my problem that I cant yet see but basically the focus peaking on setting instead of only working in manual focus it also works in AF mode and its always on or always off. If this was done intentionally I can't see why or maybe I'm the only one with this issue ??
This is how other Sony cameras are. Sony A7iv is like that out of the box. It’s so annoying as the peaking being on or off is a great indicator as to which mode your in
@docgooner7 Thanks for letting me know, because it wasn't like that before the update, so I just assumed something had gone wrong.
Just give us open gate like Fuji and Panasonic do, really useful feature for content creators PLEASE 🙏
Hi Matt, I hope you're doing well. I need your help. My A7SIII suddenly stopped working while I was using it, and the red light is blinking. Even when I turn the camera off, it persists. Can you please help me identify what might be causing this issue? Thanks.
Amazing channel. So informative.
How do you actually add in custom gridlines ? Create png files? Download png files ? Purchase dng files? Is the size of the gridlines dependent in the size oif the sensor (apsc/full frame) i dont see a tutorial for installing custome gridlines. Can you or any help because i actually think for some there is a use case for custom grid lines for bwtter framing and workflow for certain social media aspect ratios- 4:5, 9:16 etc. thanks for the amazing informative videos !!!
I updated my a7S III and installed your presets. Now the camera does not turn on anymore. I changed battery already but still does not work. Any suggestions?
I want to upgrade my camera from Sony a7iii to other in coming August, Is it still ok to buy a7siii now? or should i wait for a7siv ? any recommendations will be helpful. (I dont like a7iv's 4k crop in 120fps)
there is no crop on a7iv in 4k 120p because there is not 120 p in 4k only 50/60P😉
The best camera is always the one you actually own and can buy. I have no clue when an a7S iv is coming or if one will ever arrive
@@andreacappello8669 you get the point right😅( crop in 4k 60p*)
@@whoismatt yes right, I absolutely love a7iii, but sometimes there's requirements of shooting 4k 60/120 then, we must need a camera that match up right?
The update broke my camera. :(
There’s a ton of bugs that just randomly freezes my camera that only removing the battery unfreezes it.
Can’t use WiFi or Bluetooth and can’t connect usb c without it just freezing my screen.
