- Learn how to set up your camera for success and never miss your shot again! In this video, I'm going through the 3 essential modes I use for all of my photography, across all of my cameras. Do keep in mind, this is what works for me and gets me the best results when out practising photography. Theres no right or wrong when it comes to setting up your own camera settings and custom shooting modes, especially if it works for you.

Setting up your camera properly for your style of photography is essential to get the most out of modern cameras. The menu systems are so jam-packed and full of options and features these days that if you're not utilizing custom profiles on your camera, then you may find yourself diving into the settings and missing your photo before you have a chance to press the shutter.
Now, of course, I'm not claiming that the way I set up my cameras for photography is the correct and only way, but it's worked wonders for me, so I wanted to share it in the hopes it either helps you set up your own, or inspires you to dig deeper into the world of custom buttons and profiles. The two main camera bodies I'm using at the moment are the Sony A7iv and Sony A7Cii. I set both of them up with the same custom photography modes, so that when I switch between the camera bodies at any time, they function the same way and I'm always ready to go!
Thanks for watching / supporting my channel!

Go on then, hit me with your custom button set up below?! 👇📸📸
Great video mate! Utilising custom modes/buttons is so beneficial - making your camera work for you and your shooting style is something I think all photographers should invest a but of time in. Funnily enough, most of my custom modes are setup for video more than photo. I find myself shooting in manual mode almost all the time and I have a custom button setup to crop my sensor from full frame to APSC to get a bit more reach when using my 24-70. Then my custom video modes are setup to switch between frame rates and picture profiles for when I'm making my youtube videos.
@@chrisharveyphotography I was exactly the same until a few months ago!! 😂Manual for absolutely everything and then custom modes for video, but then I realised the amount of times I’d been caught off guard and slightly messed up on a photo (mainly street stuff though) - so finally decided to make those two in the video for photo. Luckily you can still have your video ones in video mode or id probably not bother haha!
I'm using Mark Galers setup and his PAL-system. C1=Portrait, C2=Action, C3=Landscape. Then M changes throughout the day by using aperture ring on the lens and auto ISO and whatever shutter speed that match the lens and scene. Also have the AEL button (on A7IV) set for portrait settings.
Using the wheel for exposure compensation. Sometimes I play with highlight metering instead of faffing with eposure compensation/ISO.
@@Campus_with_an_H I had a a few weeks of trying auto ISO & fastest shutter speed for the scene while in manual recently and it just didn’t work for me, I think because I came up on such manual cameras I find it hard to let the camera decide haha! but overall sounds awesome mate, especially having the C modes set up for each genre of photography!!
Loved this video. Great talk through on why items were in or out of the shot. My set up is manual with U1 (Nikon) set up for shutter priority, continuous shooting and focus tracking and U2 aperture priority single shot and single point focus. U1 and U2 are auto ISO. My typical dog walk is across a common, along a canal path and over marshland with lots of wildlife so all three modes are used. Well done for making Seahouses look half interesting. I only go for the fish and chips.
We got double tips on this video: nice explanations on how you went about composing your images AND custom buttons! Thanks
hah yes very true!! Thanks so much Diane, hope you have been well!!
I really like the vibe of this video, it feels like one of my friends ft me to show what they shot for the day. really chill. new sub 🙂
Thanks bro, just seen your other comment before this one hahah, this is a full series on my channel with like 9 other episodes if you’re bored enough to go back and check them out!! 😅 thanks so much for subbing!
@@DISTANTMEDIA sounds like a good way to spend my afternoon 🫡
We are spoiled w/so many custom button and mode options, IMO. This post gives a good idea of one way to go. Agree about auto ISO. Did you ever do a vid going into detail about auto ISO settings? Can be tricky to use, especially considering that the camera’s chosen auto ISO value is not displayed until shutter half-press, when it might be too late.
Am new to channel - Lupin=your dog?
Suggestion: number pics to facilitate viewer comment. Cheers!
Definitely! I don’t have half of mine assigned because I’m so used to the way DSLR/film cameras worked I still genuinely enjoy interacting with the camera. Mind you I wouldn’t go back to no custom buttons hah! 🤣 - Not yet, I figured given I really don’t like auto iso I’m probably not the best person to do a full video about it haha. But yes Lupin = my dog, and will definitely number the pics for this series going forward!! Thanks fella appreciate the feedback 🎉
also, if u arent a fan of using exposure comp, y not re-map ur exposure comp dial to be an iso dial so u have quicker manual control rather than using the d-pad on the a7iv
That’s a shout! I’ll give it a go for sure, the reason I’ve never changed it is because I’ve always had it in the same place for like 10 years😂 so it’s muscle memory at this point, but I like that idea, thanks man!!
