This is not a video, this is a handbook worth its weight in gold... Thank you for this precious video
I will repeat the obvious already stated by many that this video is one of the best tutorials on YT on how to set up a camera. How can I buy you a coffee as a token of appreciation? 🙏
I'm not sure why you don't have thousands of more subscribers. I look to you for all my Sony, Nikon and Leica reviews and tutorials. The amount of research and time you must invest in all the work is just astounding. We are truly blessed to have you as a viable resource. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
I collected my A7rv a few hours ago. No doubt I will be watching this a few times over the next couple of days! Thanks for all your work to put this amazing video together.
Thanks Ken, your kind feedback makes my day and motivates me for more content on my channel. Enjoy your new camera and happy shooting :)
This is the best video I've watched. I've watched hours and hours of other videos and there are always gaps. I was able to setup my camera completely AND understand what I was doing watching your video. Thank you
This is without a doubt the best and most complete tutorial I have ever seen on any Sony camera. Thank you so much for creating something so exceptionally instructive.
Essential video for anyone really wanting to setup and use their Sony a7R5 camera. Worth watching with your camera several times to get everything out of it. Thorough yet succinct. Great for stills and video controls. This guy knows the a7r5 camera. Highly recommend viewing.
Protect this man at all cost. I thank you for taking the time to go through this.
I could never have set up my camera so efficiently without your video! I appreciate you so much. Thank you!
Thank you for posting and spending the time to make an incredibly detailed tutorial on the Sony. Great work!!!
Recently received my a7R V. This is the most helpful setup instructions by far. I understand my camera way better now. I have been watching this video a few times as there are so many in depth features. Much appreciated!
Thank you! This is the video I have been looking for, and it's now the bible of Sony a7RV.
Amazing video! Seriously. I've watched a lot of your videos and never comment, but wow…hats of to you to go through everything in clear, well-presented, thoughtful detail. Thank you!! 🙏
Excellent video. I kept using the back button to make sure I understood the feature. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this.
WOW! This video is fantastic. Not only does it help with setup, but it's packed full of general tips and how to use shooting modes, etc. Thank you for this!
Very nice explanations. Short and without a lot of rambling, just what matters. I like it very much. Well done!
Wow! This tutorial is spot on. The explanations and the speed that you cover everything made me comprehend it without getting lost or feeling overwhelmed. I can't thank you enough!
This video is a treasure! I just got my A7rV. This is one of the very best videos on it!
The best in depth tutorial of the Sony A7R5 menu settings on TH-cam 👏👏👏
Many thanks for your kind comment.
If you own and use a Sony A7R5 this is a must watch. Very well done tutorial.
Thanks for the kind feedback.
Thanks for a really great video. Your presentation is perfect and concise. The speed, demonstration examples, and content is really helpful. I just got A7rV. will watch this again and again.
Just got this camera and was overwhelmed with the menu. But your video was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Well done video. I so appreciate the detail and visuals used. It gave me clarity and understanding of the settings.
Thank you for this video! I learned so much. Will be watching again and again as my skills progress. You rock!
I'm mesmerized at your command on the subject, and your willingness to share!!! Can't thank you enough!
It’s been said so many times, but yes, excellent video, thank you for taking the time. I’m transitioning from another brand for my paid work to a Sony A7RV and this is going to help massively in getting it set up and me learning it quickly. I was so daunted reading the manuals but this is just brilliant. More or less everything I ever needed to know and a whole lot more. I’ve seen many of your videos in the past, but this is an incredible amount of work.
Absolutely great video! So many explanations I was hoping for. And a joy to follow. Thank you so much!
Hey man, this is some real work you have done, a quality work . THanks for the dedication.
As others have said below, a fabulous tutorial and very well executed. You have created a reference work to be truly proud of. Thank you
Thank you so much, I don't know how you have the time or energy to do this. Thank you again
This was great, informative and easy to understand. Thank you for your hardwork and attention to details. much appreciated. Keep up the good work. It's a service.
Fantastic tutorial, so thorough, clear and logical. Some features I will never use but it is beneficial to now, what this new camera is capable of. Thank you very much for investing so much time in studying and sharing this information.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video, thank you for taking the time to guide us through the A7RV setup!
Thank you very much! short videos are overrated, is good to take time to do and undertand things. Thanks a lot.
thanks man, this is by far the best setup guide on youtube. i wasted a lot of time on other videos setting up customization that i completely reworked after watching this video
Cool - thanks for the nice feedback, Colton.
Excellent explanation about all the settings. I consider this the Bible for 7RV
Very detailed tutorial on the Sony 7R V
By far and away, you Rock. The best of all the A7R5 Videos. Great stuff
And you are making my day with your kind comment, my friend :)
Absolutely fantastic video! I sincerely appreciate the level of depth and detail in this wonderful demonstration. Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to help us learn how to maximize the potential of this phenomenal camera! *Liked, commented, and subscribed*
Glad it was helpful! Many thanks for your kind words, positive feedback and joining the community by subscribing, much appreciated, Jeremy!
Best camera guide ive ever watched. perfectly explained and really helpfull. Thanks!
The most comprehensive and understandable set-up provided by our Guru. Even Sony will be impressed. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent, well done video. I've owned many Sony cameras, and this particular camera was intimidating compared to my AR7II. Although long, this video is extremely informative and helped me get through many of the steps to make it operational for my use. Kudos to mathphotographer to put this this long video together on New Year's Eve! Many thanks.
Incredible video ! You saved me a lot of time ! I thank you very much !
Very well made and very informative video: respect!
Great tutorials - just got my camera and this helped a lot, Thank you.
Excellent video. learn a lot. Thank you!
Thank you very very much. You are a great teacher, who explains every detail in a manner that is easy to understand and retain. This video is an extremely valuable resource for any a7R-V owner.
Thank you very much, you are making my day.
This is the best tutorial on this camera setup. Cheers mate.
Now I’ve spent hours watching a learning your instructions I am really very impressed - it’s terrific. I few words on exposure and use of highlight mode would have been Everything. Thanks Patrick
Thank you Patrick.
Das ist ja mal ein wirklich kompetentes Tutorial, das hat den Umstieg von der A7III doch ein Stück erleichtert - VIELEN DANK
Gerne - vielen Dank für das nette Feedback :)
Thank you for this deeply informative tutorial. I just switched up from the A7IV, and find the new features of the A7V, which you've beautifully explained, will be really helpful to my work flow.
Thank you very much, Gam. I was working myself my way through the settings and thought sharing my insights might help others too. Glad you liked it.
Excellent video. Yes it was long but there is a lot to cover and you did a great job with it. I like these detailed videos.
Complete Guide for Sony a7R V.Great Job
Thanks :)
Thanks for making such a comprehensive guide. This is really helpful for those who just gotten this camera. Even so those Sony with similar interface can learn from this video as well.
Glad it was helpful!
Your explanation is the best of all.Thanx.
You are most welcome and thanks for the kind feedback!
Thank you very much for the video, it helped me a lot, well done.
Perfect timing ... opened mine yesterday. A lot more to consider in setting up than in the RIII or RIV. Thanks for your work.
Thanks Steve, great you got your Sony. Enjoy shooting with it, this camera is feature packed and many settings are far from obvious, in particular on autofocus and focus tracking - that's why I provided the tips & tricks.
Awesome work, This is longest video ever watched for photography, thank you for priceless time.
Glad it helped :)
Absolutely amazing! thank you so much.
I thought I had my camera set-up well and this video enlightened me to better set-up my camera. Super helpful video! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Glad the video is useful :)
Fantastic Video. as a first time Sony user this guide is GOLD! thank you very much for the time you've put into this.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. Concise and easy to see which buttons / screen menus do what function. I will be saving this for future reference as there is quite a bit to take it but I can easy navigate to the section I want to review within the video as they are all clearly labelled.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks very much, it has helped me set up our new camera, one of the best "how to"s I seen
Thanks i definitely learned a lot, absolutely fantastic and clear instructions .
This is an outstanding presentation, which is the best and clearest I've found on the Internet. Extremely nice job. Your explanations helped me significantly in enabling me to set up my new a7rv. Thanks so much. Even though Sony has improved its menu system, I still think that Sony needs to do lots of work to make its system workable. It is extremely difficult to follow instructions regarding making custom settings.
As I said in a comment posted yesterday, your presentation is crystal clear and without gimmicks It truly helped me get a handle on all the options available on the Sony a7Rv. Without your assistance, I would have been lost. I have a question: When shooting in face/eye priority autofocus, is there an easy way to toggle the focus between multiple faces appearing in a scene? I know that touch autofocus can accomplish this, but using this method is difficult when the EV is being used. It would be great if there were a custom key option that enabled skipping from one face to another upon the push of the custom button. Thanks.
Easy to follow love all the info. Will save this and watch as many times as necessary to get proficient
Thank you for taking the time to make setting up my new Sony a7R V
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind feedback.
WOOOW amazing video!
A fantastic video on the operation Sony A7R5 well done Sir.
Wow!!! That was great. Glad it was a video, so I could stop and replay and start again. It answered a lot of questions. I appreciate knowing your preferences on various settings. I am looking forward to your next video on the A7RV, because there is so much more to learn. It would personally help me to view a chart of your settings regarding function menu, custom buttons, memory, My menu, etc. Also, your take on focus bracketing. You make using this camera easier. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you soo much for all of the help!
Wow! Thank you so much for the great job done!
Exzellent Video. Thanks.
This video is really helpful. Thank you for sharing it. I've just upgraded to an A7R V and it is really useful to have someone who is familiar with the camera explain how to use the many options and settings the camera has.
Its a highly complex camera menu, so I thought why not making it easier for other people to navigate the menu :)
Thank you sir.Your explanation is very good.Thanks ones more.You helped me a lot.
My pleasure :)
Thank you! Excellent coverage of the menus and features. While it was long, I thought it was worth my time.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done! Especially video tracking on toggle!
Thanks!
Good explanation of lots of things ❤
Bravo, super video, you have done a great work! This is what I am searching for, Explanation of the functions of this camera. Well done!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent overview, thanks!
WOW!! Thank you. What a thorough, well-explained and concise tutorial on a subject that is difficult for most to grasp. Bookmarked and subscribed!
Many thanks Dan, warm welcome to the channel community!
Fantastic and this is a big help for sure! Congratulations!
By any chance do you have this kind of video for a9iii?
Wow! So much great content! And I really like the way you used Jennifer and Darth Vader figures to demonstrate focusing! LOL! Very clever. I have had multiple Sony cameras and for each one I rely heavily on the excellent instructional videos by Mark Galer. Yet it was so helpful to also view your video. You approach it differently and cover slightly different settings. And you both explain things differently. So even though I have set up my a7r5 leveraging my experience with other Sony cameras and Mark Galer’s videos I still chose to change/refine a number of settings based on this video. Most helpful! BTW, I learned of this video from a Facebook group for a7r5 owners. Lots of people on that group who are new to Sony and/or the a7r5.
Many thanks Dan, appreciate your comment and sharing your experience with the content from Mark Galer and from my channel. Glad the video is helpful, and glad if people share it.
This is such a great tutorial! Thank you so much for doing it. One thing that I do to all my Sony cameras, that might be interesting to other users, is set the Fn button to "rating" in Payback mode. That way when I am viewing the photos onsite, I can quickly rate favorites to 4 stars and pull them up by rating in Lightroom when I get home. I so appreciate the part about assigning a custom button to memory recall numerous settings. That is the first time I have seen that and it worked on my A1. I ordered the A7RV today and that is what brought me here. Thanks again!
Great! Thanks for the positive feedback and enjoy your new a7R V.
Thank you for your little tip! I always think the last photo of the same layout will be the one I use, but sometimes that’s not the case and I’m always going back and forth on Lightroom which photo I wanted to use
You have nice toys. I can only afford to have a used Sony A7R3. But it is good enough for me since I am not a professional as others like you. Heck, the A1 is like owning a Rolls Royce!
I agree, this is a great tutorial. I have learned quite a bit by following this video. Thank you for putting together the time and effort putting it together.
My A7RV has just arrived. I am new to Sony so the menu system etc is completely new to me. This video is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much
Many thanks, Barrie, for your much appreciated feedback.
Great work! Very clear and comprehensive. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great, thank you. Nice to see the Singapore pictures. I was there end of Nov 22 and have one of your pics, taken by myself, on my wall. Great views :)
Great to hear, many thanks! Singapore is a very beautiful city, in particular for night photography.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you. It is a very useful video. Thank you very much for your effort and for the very simple and at the same time professional explanation of the menus!
Thanks very much!
You are very welcome, Benny.
Thank you for making this video. Amazing detail! Happy New Year! 🎊🎆
Thanks Matt. Happy New Year and happy shooting in 2023!
Excellent tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
I rarely comment on TH-cam but I want to tell you this was a fantastic learning tool. It’s very well explained, it’s very detailed and logical. Bravo, thank you so much…and yes I subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it! And many thanks for joining the community on my channel, warm welcome :)
Super helpful - much appreciated! Mapped my "silent mode" to the down button like you suggested and it's a game changer. Thx!!
Glad it helped!
That was great, thank you very much. Feels like only a starting point though 😅 Going to take a minute to wrap my head around this camera. My last was a Nikon D3200.
Excellent information. Thank you for taking the time 😊👍
Very helpful video, thank you!
Thank you, i am a sony user for some years now with the new settings menus i was a bit confusing, you helped out allot, thanks!
You're very welcome!
Awesome video! This was very very helpful.
Thanks!
great effort thank you
Awesome video that proves what I've heard before about Sony menu system. I can't imagine what Sony users have been going through before the new menu. Whatever I used before, Pentax K-1, Fuji X-T4, I was always able to intuitively figure out how to allocate RAW files to a card slot and JPEG files to the other card slot. With the A7RV, I really needed this video. Thanks for that.
I will watch it again, rest assured.
Many thanks for your kind feedback. These menus are tricky. I shoot A7 cameras for years and thought, when I worked my way through the settings of this new camera, why not sharing ... :)
Hi and thanks for another great video. A quick question is where did you get your matt screen protector. Thanks
