I watch EVERY setup video I can find on the a7siii as I really want to learn as much as I can about this camera. This is the best and most comprehensive setup TH-cam video I have seen on the a7siii so far! Thanks.
*Just got the Sony A7Siii .. omg .. love it, saw the whole video and even saved it to my playlist for future references .. thanks Dunna for sharing the info. Will get back to u with more questions about the camera on Instagram .. u hv to guide me 😊😁*
As a new A7s iii owner who felt slightly overwhelmed (plus this is my first mirrorless gamble), your video was an incredibly helpful serving of specific information and concise explanation. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. It has been incredibly helpful for me to set up my new A7siii in preparation for several commercial projects I have scheduled this week. Thanks again!
Information about my credit card: it’s plastic (I think) with a magnetic strip on the back and a little metal chip in the front. It’s textured... and it stays in my wallet 99% of the time! Thanks for the great question!
When you are setting up your custom modes, you can make sure you’re in the mode that you want it to be already. For example, go into M mode, create your settings and then save it to one of the spots. But once you’re in a memory recall mode, you can’t change the exposure mode as far as I’m aware
Hey what’s up Dunna! Always appreciate these great videos you make! This one was a game changer when I got the A7S III. Best of the best!! A question for you when you have the opportunity. I’ve also been filming with the A7S III and have been filming more sports recently. Typically shoot 4K 120 for high pace sports, although 240 fps would be a great option. On the A7S3, the 240fps is in S&Q mode in HD. Although S&Q doesn’t provide audio. Sound would be key for some of the sports. Any idea if there’s a way to use some type of external audio recorder while filming S&Q and then somehow sync the audio and video in Davinci Resolve ?? Typically shoot with a shotgun mic although I don’t have that much background with audio options. Guessing it would have to be an external audio recorder for S&Q. Any Ideas ? Thank you, greatly appreciate it! Cheers!
Yeah pretty close to 3 hours with 128gb cards on xavc s 100mbps Right now I’m using prograde v90 128gb cards, prograde v60 128gb cards and Sony tough v60 128gb cards spread through my cameras.
Hello! At 29:13 you have JPEG Image Size as L: 12M. In my case its only 4.3M. And its a maximum amount there. Why? I have no idea how to improve it. What is the reason of it? Help me, please) Thank you!
Dunna really came through. A long video but definitely understand all of the settings that we changed and have a good handle on a daring and thrilling purchase. 💜🤙🏾
Why is the 'M' photo mode, Movie mode, and S&Q mode all linked? When I'm shooting video I always have a Picture Profile enable, but I don't want to for photos. I shoot 1/50 in video, but my still shutter is different. When I make any changes to one, it makes changes to all modes. Why is this going on? Is this normal? How am I supposed to save my settings in video mode without it changing the settings in still mode? *Without having to use my 1 of 2 custom dials. Isnt the point of changing to the Movie dial to have the video settings, and then photo settings in the M mode?
Yeah unfortunately they didn’t have that function where it switches settings based on modes for that camera. Only for the a7siii as far as I’m aware. On the a7iii, the settings stay consistent between shooting modes.
@@dunnadidit yea man in Pic Profiles and besides me making this comment I don’t think anyone would have noticed. It’s 99.9999% impossible to not say that though after years with the 73. I got lucky in my review. I was all like “my god. He’s gonna do it” and then...welp. It’s Sony’s fault if you ask me. They should have called this camera “Nighthawk” or something to make it easier on us.
@@dunnadidit I didn't find it. I mean, can I assign modes 1,2 and 3 only to filming, e.g. mode 1 is 4K, 24p, mode 2, hd.24p, and the 3 slow motion mode 240 fps AND independent modes 1, 2 and 3 only for shooting mode 1, 2, 3 - each other settings? I tried to do it, but it fails, each saved mode, for .eg. mode 1, (for shooting) OVERWRIT the previous settings for filming (also no. 1)
Maybe I’m not fully understanding what you’re asking? You can have different custom buttons for video and photo mode. But if you’re asking if you can have photo custom mode 1,2,&3 and then separate video custom mode 1,2, & 3 then no I don’t believe so. Your custom mode 1,2, & 3 will be either photo...or... video mode depending on what mode you were in when you set it
Hey Dunna! I recently bought the Wandrd Prvke because of you. BEST! Another question. Lens for the A7Siii Sigma 24-70 F2.8 for video or should I save for the GM version I’m also considering buying the 24 F1.4GM first. I can only choose one. Love primes but need versatility from my first and only lens I guess. Any advice?
It really is the best isn’t it!! Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of experience with the GM but I HIGHLY recommend the sigma 24-70. I’ve had it about a month now and it’s incredible!!
i never understood what pal/ Ntsc means. if i m in Europe , im not able to use NTSC? my camera supports it, so i can use it for 24 fps on my sony a7iii i suppose
Amazing overview!! I followed along to set up my new A7S3, and as a first time Sony user, you helped me also learn more about all of the great features I likely wouldn't have learned about otherwise. I can't thank you enough for helping me feel comfortable on Day 1 with my new camera - keep up the great work!
super super niche video there Dunna lol. I wish I could give you more view time but ... don t have a sony camera (expenssssiiiiivvveeee) . Keep up the good work tho!!
this was extremely helpful. Thanks man, I really love how you take your time to spend just enough time everything. I know you could have spent an hour on each tab lol, so It was reffreshing you kept it moving along. Also, I was only interesting in all of the things you focused on. Thank you.
Haha this one was particularly difficult. I usually try to keep videos to 10-15 min but I knew I couldn’t do that and get everything across... but at the same time, you’re right, I could have actually explained each thing and it would have been a feature length film haha.
Great breakdown and nice brief explantation of each feature! The one thing I may include would be where some of those settings are found in each subfolder. It was good practice to dive into the folders and find where each one was, but hard to locate at times. With that being said great job on splitting the difference of being thorough, while not feeling the need to explain everything.
Awesome Dunna...btw have you heard of Swan Hills I spent 4.5 years there a looonnng time ago...brilliant overview ...thanks for your endurance on chewing through this stuff!
I love your straight forward breakdown of the options available in the menu and how to set them up. I shoot mostly Real Estate footage and use a gimbal, so I am unsure just yet what will be the best for my memory custom keys. Your introduction has given me a good roadmap to follow. You come across as a warm and friendly individual on camera which gives a great feeling of learning as I am new to Sony and the a7Siii. The menu, although new and improved, is still not as intuitive as Canon, so I am very thankful for your help. Thanks again. Best, Mark. PS I have subscribed to your channel. By any chance, do you know if there is a hack to get the Sony a7Siii to work with the Zhiyun Crane 2S. I was spoiled with the Canon as I could control shutter speed, ISO, F-stop, follow focus and record from the gimbal. So far I have only figure out how to get the record button to work for the Sony with the Gimbal. If you don't know, I will have to adjust to reaching up to the camera and this is where those memory custom buttons may be of assistance. Both Sony and Zhiyum have offered little help. Thanks again.
Thanks a ton for the kind words. I think the menu not being as "intuitive" as Canon's comes down to experience with a specific system to be honest. Any time I have picked up a Canon camera, I am always like "I have no idea where to find anything and none of this makes any sense at all" lol. But I really think that this comes down to the fact that I'm used to the way Sony has done things, even with the old menu, and I understand the system they're using. I'm sure you'll get used to it eventually! As far as the Crane 2S... unfortunately I'm not familiar but I'm pretty sure as long as you have the right cable it's possible. Might be worth reaching out to zhiyun to see if they can help! Good Luck!
@@dunnadidit You are so Correct. Agreed, I am sure with use it will become more intuitive. Good point. Crane only has the record function mentioned above available for Sony. However, I have learned the the Ronin RS2 does offer a lot of the controls discussed, but with trade offs. Example, loss of IBIS. Go figure. At a $1000 US price point I am not willing to trade one set of challenges for another. That said, if it comes up again, you now have a reference point. As to Device name of Dunna_A7S3, I think that is part of the meta data,(???) if so, you will own every other videographer's footage and pictures. (That could be good or bad) Laughing. Thanks again, Mark
My Zoom function Is greyed out. And when I try to use it, it says it’s not compatible with my lens. I use the GM 16-35. Any help? Or do you know the reason for this?
Just tried this out with the 16-35 and it worked just fine as long as I’m in movie shooting mode. When I switched over to photo mode it got greeted out.
@@dunnadidit mine is the literal opposite. works in photo but not video. I tested some more and noticed its only greyed out on some of the codecs. I guess you cant use it with 4k 120. :(
Love the video!!! Serious question- is there a way to save the current video settings so when you switch to manual(photo) and go back to video mode it goes back to those settings? So that I don’t have to switch the settings every time I go from photo to video? I always have to turn off picture profile and switch a bunch of things and it’s really annoying to switch back and forth!!! Please help!!! :)
Hi Dunna, would you please let me know how to set up the Fn Menu Settings as shown in 6.13 so that both Functions Menus for STILL and VIDEO can be displayed together on one page.
Great video! I’m shooting with your HLG settings for my Sony a7siii. Would you recommend using the same HLG3 settings for my a7iii when I use it as my B camera?
Yeah! If you’re matching them together you can totally make things easier by shooting with the same picture profile. You might have to make some slight changes in your grade for them to fully match but they should be VERY close
I don’t have first hand experience with the r5 footage but bitrate doesn’t matter as much as people think. If you have great compression, you can have smaller bitrates without loss in quality or the ability to edit. For example, within the a7s3 itself, I can record 100mbps 10 bit 4:2:2 xavcs or 100mbps 10 bit 4:2:2 xavc hs but because there is a more efficient compression method, the hs keeps more information... EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE THE SAME MBPS. So bitrate is really only a small part of the picture. And the Sony xavc codecs are fantastic in my experience. I doubt you’d notice the difference when trying to grade between the two cameras.
Hi . Good video. We all know it's a video priority camera. even though in spec sheet video bitrates are less than Fuji xT4. Can you explain that pls? thank you
Bitrate isn't just about "more is better" its about efficiency, technically, if you have a more efficient compression, you can retain more information in a smaller package. For example, just within this camera itself, the xavcs 24fps is 100mbps and the xavc hs is also 100mbps and yet the HS is a more efficient compression so it keeps more information in the same amount of space. The trade off with smaller file sizes and compression like that is that its harder on the computer to decode as it plays. So higher bit rate doesn't necessarily mean better quality... it could just mean less efficient compression...or less compression altogether like the xavc s-i version. So long story short, just looking at the numbers of bitrate doesn't really tell you much haha.
what cards are people using to shoot video? I wont shoot much 4k120 but it would be nice to have! I have a ninja v so everyone's favorite hard drives for that would be cool too!
I’m primarily using the prograde v90 128gb cards. But you don’t even really need to go too crazy with cards unless you want to shoot in some of the more intensive bitrates. As far as the ninja v drive, I use a wd blue 1tb ssd.
Found it! Not sure where I was looking that had ratios like 2.35:1 and 15:9? I was looking under Aspect Marker (movie mode), not Aspect Ratio (stills mode) - whoa! Gotta be careful, there's a difference?
Oh yeah those are just markers for safety. To help you keep the important stuff between the lines. But that’s different than choosing the stills aspect ratio.
Can you please explain the simpler controls...in particular how do I 'Lock" my desired shutter speed? Currently when I set it to 1/50 and then toggle either the front or back dials, both the shutter and aperture change!! Cheers. Richard (NZ)

HI Bro There is any Guide About Sony A7III SETUP .Or The same with A7sIII?
Setup will be similar, but the a7iii has a different menu and some different features. Unfortunately I haven't made a video for that setup.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. It has been incredibly helpful for me to set up my new A7siii in preparation for several commercial projects I have scheduled this week. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad it was helpful!

Nice! Time to go puddle jumping!
Amazing video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
I dont own the a7siii but if I did this video would be clutch! Very informative and thorough. Nice work buddy
A good portion of the functions work over a lot of Sony cameras so hopefully it’s helpful for more than just a7siii owners haha! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this video Dunna! Got my a7siii all set up now and ready to go!

Lol if you could use my card with only that info... you deserve it haha
in modes 1.2.3 - how do I change the exposure mode to manual(M)? in video mode I can do it but in 123 modes I cant
When you are setting up your custom modes, you can make sure you’re in the mode that you want it to be already. For example, go into M mode, create your settings and then save it to one of the spots. But once you’re in a memory recall mode, you can’t change the exposure mode as far as I’m aware

Hi Dunna, would you please let me know how to set up the Fn Menu Settings as shown in 6.13 so that both Functions Menus for STILL and VIDEO can be displayed together on one page.
Great video! I’m shooting with your HLG settings for my Sony a7siii. Would you recommend using the same HLG3 settings for my a7iii when I use it as my B camera?
Yeah! If you’re matching them together you can totally make things easier by shooting with the same picture profile. You might have to make some slight changes in your grade for them to fully match but they should be VERY close
@@dunnadidit thank you!
My pleasure!!
Sir canon r5 10bit bitrate higher than sony a7s3
Can R5 file give more flexbility in colour grading than a7s3
I don’t have first hand experience with the r5 footage but bitrate doesn’t matter as much as people think. If you have great compression, you can have smaller bitrates without loss in quality or the ability to edit. For example, within the a7s3 itself, I can record 100mbps 10 bit 4:2:2 xavcs or 100mbps 10 bit 4:2:2 xavc hs but because there is a more efficient compression method, the hs keeps more information... EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE THE SAME MBPS. So bitrate is really only a small part of the picture. And the Sony xavc codecs are fantastic in my experience. I doubt you’d notice the difference when trying to grade between the two cameras.
@@dunnadidit thanks sir for reply
Big youtuber never reply
@@vinodkumarsingh1973 - It's my pleasure! Glad to help!
This was excellent Dunna, I appreciate you.
Thanks Joshua! I appreciate you too!
Why not go with AdobeRGB?
Hi . Good video. We all know it's a video priority camera. even though in spec sheet video bitrates are less than Fuji xT4. Can you explain that pls? thank you
Bitrate isn't just about "more is better" its about efficiency, technically, if you have a more efficient compression, you can retain more information in a smaller package. For example, just within this camera itself, the xavcs 24fps is 100mbps and the xavc hs is also 100mbps and yet the HS is a more efficient compression so it keeps more information in the same amount of space. The trade off with smaller file sizes and compression like that is that its harder on the computer to decode as it plays. So higher bit rate doesn't necessarily mean better quality... it could just mean less efficient compression...or less compression altogether like the xavc s-i version. So long story short, just looking at the numbers of bitrate doesn't really tell you much haha.
@@dunnadidit i understand. Thanks a lot
@@georgekbaby My pleasure! Thanks for the great question!
what cards are people using to shoot video? I wont shoot much 4k120 but it would be nice to have! I have a ninja v so everyone's favorite hard drives for that would be cool too!
I’m primarily using the prograde v90 128gb cards. But you don’t even really need to go too crazy with cards unless you want to shoot in some of the more intensive bitrates.
As far as the ninja v drive, I use a wd blue 1tb ssd.
@@dunnadidit Thank you so much man! appreciate the reply!
My pleasure!!
wow - so much great info. Solid video man!!!
Thanks a ton Zeke!!

I try my best ;)
Don't you mean 15:9? I couldn't find 16:9? --> Beautifully done! Thank you so much for your generosity and EXTREME effort!
No it should be 16:9. That’s a pretty standard ratio.
Found it! Not sure where I was looking that had ratios like 2.35:1 and 15:9? I was looking under Aspect Marker (movie mode), not Aspect Ratio (stills mode) - whoa! Gotta be careful, there's a difference?
Oh yeah those are just markers for safety. To help you keep the important stuff between the lines. But that’s different than choosing the stills aspect ratio.
Can you please explain the simpler controls...in particular how do I 'Lock" my desired shutter speed? Currently when I set it to 1/50 and then toggle either the front or back dials, both the shutter and aperture change!! Cheers. Richard (NZ)
