Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏
Wow, thank you very much Terry!! I really appreciate it :) Jay
Now I know how my mom felt like when I was showing her how to use her smart phone. 🤯😅
🤣
exactly
I love that.. can relate
😆
Exactly lmfao
Just bought the A7s111 and after watching Sony's brand new tutorial streaming master class which was absolutely horrible I found your video on the a7 111 to get started on this beast, you are amazing, the video is articulate, easy to follow and xlint visuals of camera, Sony needs to hire you they are completely clueless . a pro camera that is designed to Hollywood specs should have the same level of education on the camera. You saved the day, I will watch more of your videos!
I really appreciate your kind words and I'm glad the video helped you out!! I also have several on the A7RIV which should help you out. Obviously the menu system on the A7SII is very different though.. Many more How-To VideosHere: th-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html
FINALLY A GREAT VIDEO FOR BEGINNERS!!! I've been struggling with this camera and now, after this video, I feel so much better!!! Very well explained and I am SO HAPPY (and relieved) I found this video and channel. Already subscribed and I'm watching more of your videos next! Thank you for doing this!!!!
Can’t believe ur a beginner
I don’t even have this camera, but I’m watching this for the day I get myself a Sony a 7iii, I’ll be ready
I am also doing this. To be future proof.
Update. Do you have the song a7iii
My Sony A7 iii and 90mm Macro f2.8 are a wicked combination - Watch out flickr, I'm on a mission! Hope the Bug World are preparing their poses.
@@hjones451 nobody asked you
@@cjstennosphotography8932 No… but I think a photography business is about to begin with just my phone..
Loved this video. Very simple and straight to the point! Thank you! Just picked up mine and was super confused when first turning it on. Now I understand a lot better!
Thank you for your tutorial, coming from a canon seeing getting a Sony was new territory but now through your video I feel more confident to go out there and shoot with my new camera 😊
Hubby just surprised me with this camera. I'm over the moon! So helpful. Thanks a lot!
Brilliant, this is just what i need for getting to know my new A7iii, liked, subscribed and gonna be hanging around here for a long time 😊thank you so much man 😉
Thank you so much, Jay! This was super helpful. I am ready to use my new Sony!
Wow, this was so helping. THANKS!
Thank you so much! I’m a total newbie and was overwhelmed. There is so much to learn in photography and the camera and lenses are overwhelming. Not to mention composition, editing, etc.
How are you getting on now?
Very helpful video....thanks for taking the time to do this. Greatly appreciated!
I’m such a newb, didn’t know hope to even write to the correct slot since I just ordered the other card. Was very intimidated. Thank you for being concise and kind.
A great video, clear, concise and easy to follow. You got me up and running . Could do video on setting the A7iii primarily for video and making the most of the assignable buttons.Thank you.
Hey man. Thank you. This is the best beginners guide and exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it helped Paul, and thanks you for the comments :) Jay
You have truly done an amazing job explaining the basics to us. I got this camera for christmas and had no clue on how to use it. Im excited to see what other videos you have for us. Thanks for putting this together for us.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I just got my Sony A7 III and this gave me a good launching pad to the basics features
This video was beyond helpful. I never understand what anyone else is saying when I watch these videos and I was concerned that it was going to be someone trailing off topic when I saw the video length but everything was easy to understand and ACTUALLY HELPFUL!!!
Thank you!
Thank you, I'm very interested in this camera and your posts are most helpful.
Extremely helpful video. Thanks for sharing and keeping it simple and to the point. 👍🏻 I rate you 10/10 for your teaching style.
You really have a talent for explanation. Clear and articulate. Almost made me want to get the A7III, but I'm gonna wait for the A7IV. At least till 2022.
Best quick explanation yet!
Learnt so much from this video. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the vid. It was very helpful. A big applause to Jason!!!
Thank you. I was very overwhelmed.
very good video! Thanks for the tut! I am excited to start using it.
Thanks for taking the time out to make this, super helpful!
Thank you for the comments and you're very welcome ;)
Thank you so much, you helped with the basics which I was looking for and will check out your other videos!
Jay, you were fantastic. This Vedio is going to help a lot of people.
Thank you for making this video. Extremely useful!
Really liked the walk-through. Clear and also pointed out stuff with the buttons at the beginning of the video. Way better than Jared Polins "beginners guide".
This is the best beginners guide video ever! Thanks so much for doing this one Jay!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for the crash course video on my new camera! Much appreciated!
Thank you, sir! Extremely helpful.
Very helpful video .. I’m using this camera today for the first time as a second shooter for a wedding but this was very informative. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Awesome Video, very helpful thanks.
I'm so glad that I've found this video, its literally helped me so much, i did a camera course on groupon to be honest i learnt more on this video, the way its been explained 👌👌👌👌. Thank you so much.
That is awesome to hear and thank you for the comments :)
Pah! Groupon. I'm sorry you had the displeasure of finding out that it's not worth it at all.
Literally words can’t sum up how much I appreciate this video. Thank you!
I'm really glad my video helped you out :)
I just upgraded from my phone to this. WOW as you noted the menu system is insane with lots of options. Thank you for this basic start. Will be watching our other videos on this camara.
You’re awesome bro thank you. In depth concise and spoken as if we are taking notes cause u know we are. Goat
This is an amazing video for beginners! I feel so good about handling the camera now. The video is simple and clear. But my only regret is I wish you had covered the Bluetooth feature a bit and how to format the memory card as well. But I still love it!
Bravo Jason! Wonderful job. Very useful video for people like me using Sony for the first time! Thank you!🤘🤘
I've had this camera for 3 years... mostly to record video. Now using it more for pics and wow what a quick easy description of use. Thnx
ur video is way more clear than the other ones i've watched thank you so much
Thank you so much! When I saw all the buttons my brain just about melted! Still not sure about some of them but a BIG start!
Just purchased this Sony and you’ve supplied me with the best understandable info yet. TY!
Jay, thanks so much for this video. It feels silly to be such a newb using such an expensive camera, but this was so helpful to get me going. Any chance you'll make this into a series? Where would you suggest someone starts exploring after the auto and P modes?
Wel, it really depends on what you are doing I would say. For photography I use Aperture Priority mode most of the time, because usually depth of field is what I'm looking to play with while taking photos of my kids or some landscapes. I would just dial the aperture towards the lower number for portraits, then dial it up to the higher numbers for landscapes. If you are shooting sports however, the shutter speed becomes more of a critical element getting a sharp action capture. So for that I would use the Shutter priority mode. In the studio environment, or lab in my case, I would use manual mode to lock down the camera into exact settings that I know I want for video usually. I really think the best thing you can do is just get out there and start taking photos and videos. Play around and try and have some fun. Challenge yourself in different ways, and you will find certain modes and settings will work better for different situations. I hope that helps ;) As far as making a series? I'm not really sure about that due to my limited time. What did you have in mind?
This was to the point, thank you!
Fantastic review, I am looking to switch to the A73 so this was very helpful.
Appreciate this, watched the whole video and get a lot of insights for starting to use my new camera!
Great video! Just got this camera, I need to watch every video you made to understand what I’m doing! Thank you for teaching us!
Thank you for the comments and I'm really glad the video helped you out ;) Be sure to check out all my how to videos if you are eager to learn: th-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html
Thank you! This video is great 💜
Thank You, today got my camera… amazing help from your video
Great video.. Thanks for keeping it in layman’s terms 😃
Wow I actuslly bought it last weekend and had no experience with this advance stuff. You are my hero!
This video is exactly what I needed.
Thank you so much for such a good in depth and super easy to understand video! Exactly what I needed ! 😍
You're very welcome and Happy New Year :)
Really helpful Jay, thank you!
Great beginning video! Thanks. Ready to start some basic shooting with my a7iii!
Thank god for your vlog! I've watched many diferent ones and it's just endless blah blah blah and looping back and forth, I just want basic knowledge and you gave that! Thank you!
Thank you Andy for the kind words and I'm really glad my videos are helping you out :)
wow, that should be listed as the official guide for this camera! Thank you a lot man!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, that was so helpful
Super helpful - I learned a lot of useful things in a short amount of time, thank you! I just opened the box on my new camera and the printed directions have the wrong descriptions assigned to the corresponding numbers on the camera parts diagram - I was certain that there was a problem when it said that the +/- dial was the battery door latch, which I had already found on my own, LOL
What a great video! Just purchased this camera and it got me going! Thank you!
I can not thank you enough. This just made this dense menu system so much clearer. After watching this, I can't seem why anyone would complain about the menu. Camera is amazing.
Great stuff man
thanks for the guide
This is the best instructional video, amazing knowledge and thorough explanation, Thank you very much Blessings
Thank you very much for the kind comments and I'm really glad the video helped you out ;)
great video - explains everything to get started
I never comment. Ever. But this was SO helpful. Got my camera yesterday and was so overwhelmed but now I feel like I actually understand how and WHY things work. The best tutorial I've seen in a long time on any subject, thank you so so much!
You're very welcome Helin :)
Thank you! This video is a lifesaver! I was so overwhelmed by this camera!
You're welcome!
This man is elite. Thank you kind sir!
this is good, this is helpful, and this just makes my purchase of the A7iii perfect
thank you so much sir . these are the videos i pay my internet bills for !!!\
Thank you! Very helpful video!
wow this is such good, easy to follow walkthru for this sony camera!!
I would like to thank you very much for this. Your explanation makes sense and is easy to understand.
You're very welcome!
Very useful and very clear instruction guide. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Thank You! All my life I've been a point and shoot camera user, I recently moved to where I have many opportunities for taking lasting landscape and wildlife photos. When I made the decision to buy my Sony A7S iii I knew I would be facing a steep learning curve. The past couple of days I found your help manuals, today I found this helpful video, then when you pointed out your help manuals I realized they are made by you! The manuals are excellent but this video will get me going so I can refer more to the manuals. It seems there are many similarities between the cameras.
Thank you for the kind words and yes all the Sony cameras work basically the same with the exception of the new Sony A7S III which has an all new menu system. The camera still works the same, but finding the settings is totally different due to the new menu system.
Thanks for the help man, your video was great and very informative. I will be back for more!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much! Great video, very helpful..really appreciated.
You're very welcome!
You, my dear man, are a godsend! Thank you for posting this. ❤️ 🐮. I found your tip jar...😊
This video is incredibly well done. Great explanations and to the point. I just subscribed.
Thank you 😊
thank you for a very clear and informative video - I have just moved to Sony A73 from Panasonic G9 and this really helps me insert myself into the rather complex world of Sony menus and ergonomics. On many other sites the reviewers just get a bit too excited and wrapped up in the Sony universe and assume all listeners know the basic stuff. Much appreciated - now I can take some pictures and wont delete them by accident!
Awesome to hear Paul, and be sure to check out some of the other tutorial videos to learn even more!! See my full tutorial videos playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html
Thank you so much!
I got this camera today and your video is extremely helpful and clear! :-)
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this, from canon to sony for me as well...overwhelming!
My pleasure and thank you for the comments!
Great video, very helpful
Extremely helpful!! Thanks man
Awesome and thank you for the comments!
This is such a great tutorial !!!
This was awesome man thank you 🙏
Thank you its my first time using it❤🎉
I just loved it thanks a lot
thank you Jason for the very clear video, and for also not adding annoying music
Jay, Thank you for a thorough, pointed and detailed quick start video. GREAT!! I've been using a A6000 and a A6500 for 2 +years now, and have been quite happy with my results. I learned a bunch from this "starting" video, and very much appreciate your work, for all of us. The tutorial and the series is EXACTLY what I was looking for, and is an excellent resource.
I'm literally waiting for my new A7III to arrive, along with a Canon mount Sigma 24-105 F4. I've had great luck with the MC-11 adapter with a canon mount 100-400 Sigma C with the on my A6500. I'm looking forward to similar results with the new setup. Thank you again for your kind help.
Thank you Gerry and be sure to check out this one as well!! th-cam.com/video/lt2Kp-2mCHA/w-d-xo.html
Very good. I just subscribed. Looking forward to more instruction. Just what I was looking for!
Thanks for the sub and I recommend checking out this video next ;) th-cam.com/video/tVSWH0R0kj0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for your guidance! I now have a better understanding of what my camera can do & how to protect my lens!
Thank you
Very good video for beginner like me
Great video; I'm a Canon shooter and will use an a7-lll Friday. You provided me with what I need to get going with my shoot. Thanks!
You Sir are the best! thanks for this video
