Max, where is this file with your camera settings to download?
I think if you're just shooting 4K/60 10 bit 4:2:0, a V30 card will be enough.
Hey, like always a great video. I'm still waiting for the Panasonic S5 video. Compare it to other 10bit DSLMs and what lenses you would recommand/buying into the system.
Hey Max, wheres the custom file to download with all your settings so we can import it into our cameras? not seeing it in the description.
I’m also not seeing the settings file. Great tips though 👌
So good to have a pros take on the total setup not only shown, but the reasons why explained clearly and without any unnecessary fluff... makes perfect simple sense. Thank you Max
This is the exact video I needed. Max is always the only one really doing these type of videos consistently and properly always👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you Max for making this video. I really like seeing other people's idea of how to setup their camera. I am really glad you gave use something to download as well. Enjoy the cameras.
absolute legend, you've answered my question on the v60 cards plus a heap more. been watching a heap of your vids through the day. keep up the amazing work and thanks heaps
Thanks for the detailed walk-through Max! This is a great starting point.
Thank you so much for making this, Max. So detailed and helpful.
Over the past 6 months you have become my go to tech youtuber for all my purchases..keep killin it bro
Thank you Max! I have my AS7III some days, so this video help me so much!
Very useful video! Thanks for putting this together. I have this camera coming later this week and I'll definitely be starting with these settings!
Much obliged Max! Learned some cool tips in this!
Max you da man for concise informative videos. Thank you!
Awesome thanks for the setup Max.
Max you always have the most *valuable* intel on camera settings.. this was so insightful (I haven't ordered my A7S3 yet, but..) Love your channel my guy.
This is excellent - great timing on getting this video out!
Great explainer video, thanks for taking the time to do this!
Yanks Max, great video. Just what i needed. I am new to the A7SIII - got it yesterday and was confused about what to use. Thanks.
Love your work Max! Keep it up!
Max! Thanks mammothly much for this priceless information and explanation‼️
Subscribed! 💛
Great video! Cant wait for mine to arrive.
This is the video I needed, my A7SIII arrived in today.
I can’t get my a7siii to record anything in video mode. I read the handbook and followed Max and Phillip Bloom and others on set up to no avail. I need some help.
Thanks Max, the PP1 example gave me great results without using my extremely limited colour grading skills.
A must video, thanks Max!
Awesome video, thank you Max! I'm a Canon/Panasonic/Blackmagic guy who is venturing into Sony waters with the A7S3 ... glad i found your video.
This video is a goldmine! Thank you very much!
Thanks for the guide! Really useful to know the tip about 4:2:0 vs. 4:2:2 👍🏼
thank you for this video!! My a7siii just arrived an hour ago so this is very helpful!
You’re amazing, thanks for making this video! Super helpful.
Wonderful info, Max. Thank you 👍
I loved this video so much, thank you!
AMAZING... thank you... I am switching from Canon to Sony so I was a bit lost... this really helped
Thanks for the info, super helpful!!
Thanks for the video Max. I’ve been using canon 80D and that worked great for me but as I started to pick up projects here and there, I feel the pinch in low light and not having high frame rates... so I ordered this with a 50 and 85 mm Sony lenses... I’m super excited!
I can’t help but be unreasonably jealous. Max has two and I’m still waiting for one. But I’ll still watch, like and day dream about that “out for delivery” notification.
Hope you get yours soon! When did you order?
Same. I ordered mine on Sept 1st, and still shows back ordered
Max Yuryev I’m ashamed to say, 9.15. From B&H. I’m definitely at the back of the line.
Jared Denman I’m two weeks after you. Hope they ramped up at some point. I’m surprised that a $3500 specialty camera did this much business in 2020.
Excellent presentation
Amazing Video! Thank you
Thank you Max, I will follow all your suggestions when I get mine. Like others, I pre-ordered the day all the reviews went live in July, and Adorama at first said they didn't have any in stock on launch day, which may or may not have been true. Luckily, they did get some quickly, and I received mine on Sept. 30th.
Great video Max! I love that you covered color correction. Personally i’ve had so many problems with Slog3 and s;pg2 profiles. The only profile i i can tolerate is HLG. I just shoot with no profile and adjust it in premier if necessary. That seems to be the fastest. Anyway great video showing the menus. That is going to be really helpful to people who are thinking about buying the A7s3.
Such a super nice guy! Thanks, brother.
This is the video I needed. I appreciate Max’s simple and straight forward, yet thorough explanation of the settings.
Question: In the video Max customized a few of the Picture Profile settings (PP1, PP6 and PP8). Is there a reason to keep those picture profiles in those spaces or could I change those same settings to PP1, PP2 and PP3 for easier memory and access?
Very useful. Will try it today.
I get mine tomorrow morning! I"M SO FKING EXCITED!!!
Thanks Max ...I’m working through the video slowly and did note the Sony M card had a recall in June ... apparently the corrected cards will have an Astrix...(still looking into this) ... really appreciate your work!
very interesting. thanks for sharing!
Very helpful, thank you!
That's awesome! Thank you Max ;)
Great video bro Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
so helpful thank you!!
Thanks for an informative video, Max! I've had my a7sIII for about a week now and have a fairly good grasp of all the settings so far, but I still don't understand how to customize buttons (or even where the option is in the menu!). You quickly got into your personalized settings in the video but never showed where the menu was or how to set custom settings to some of the buttons, which would have been a little more helpful. The sample footage you used in the video is really beautiful.
last menu option called "setup" (yellow) > #3 "Operation Customize"
Great video thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
SUPER helpful
Nice)))
Such a lot to learn as your out and about with this camera. I think you have to marry the camera to know it off by heart...
Thanks for the emphasis on which memory cards are really needed. When I first bought the A7S III I was stressing out whether or not I really needed the CF Express - A cards. Turns out V90 cards have been more than good enough to shoot all the All-I formats and there hasn't been 1 situation where I thought to myself "Hmm I really want to use S&Q 4K 120P 10-bit". To me the loss of audio alone from S&Q isn't worth forking over the premium for a CF Express Type A card.
Thanks for the video! really useful. I am trying to arrange the 1-2-3 dial modes and struggling with it, a video about that would be appreciated as well :D
Super helpful guide. So 10 bit 4.2.2. is very tough on editing rigs but 10 bit 4.2.0 works well. That's very good to know.
there is definitely an increased performance hit with 10bit 4:2:2 but other factors have a bigger impact like 4K resolution or shooting in 4:2:2 10bit XAVC HS 4K (h.265)
@@mirrorlessny Got it, thanks.
Awesome video!
Do you know if there’s a setting on A7siii to close the shutter when changing lenses? Aparently the Sony A9 has this. It would be great to have to keep dust off the sensor.
I cant find anything from Google searches.
Good review Max, I was wondering if you could explain how you got to show the menu view of the camera to the computer screen for capture.
Hi Max, thank you for the informative video. I've watched it a few times in preparation for the a7siii and after receiving it. May I ask what picture profile settings you use for 4k at night? I definitely see the "dual iso" change from slog3 ISO 10,000-12,800. It seems from philip bloom and gerald undone, the change happens after you move the base ISO(dependent on picture profile) up by 4 stops, and then up the ISO by 1 increment. I was wondering which profile picture settings you prefer to use in light of that dual iso gain?
I'm planning to use this video to set up my a7siii tomorrow. Question for though: I have my a7iii set to record in cine4 and a different picture profile for stills, should I just carry over whatever settings you recommend here to the a7iii so they are consistent? Is that what you would do if you continue to use both cameras for similar things? Or recommend keeping a7iii at cine4 and using cine2 for the a7siii like you recommend? What would you do?
Great tutorial man thank you!
Since you have multiple a7siii’s do you know how to transfer settings from one to the other?
Hey Max thanks for a video!nice!
Waiting my beast too soon!
You think i can use same HLG settings on it as i had on Sony A7iii?
Also r we talking about focus lock you mentioned if you have buch of faces you choose and lock a focus on one?
Both you and your wife look like you've been working out. Looking really good.
Great video Max! I just got my a7siii in the mail, I tried a couple different shooting modes and when I brought it into FCX half the clips are not supported by FCX........ how do I fix?
Hi! I've heard that in in Slog3 and S-Gamut3.Cine it's better to set Color Phase setting to +1 or even +2 to even out green tinge so that footage looks more natural especially with skin tones? Would you say it's a good idea or messing with a color phase would bring more magenta and there is another way to get rid of a slight green?
Hey, Max! Thanks for the guide! I'm liking Standard profile w/ Highlights all the down, Shadows all the way up! Did you try that?
Great video but I don't see the custom setup download link? Thanks for all your work on your channel.
Max thanks for a video,
Any ideas ?as soon as i turn on my ninja 5 i see that ISO on sony A7 s iii atumatically changed from 80 to 640.
Tried some other settings but not solved yet...any info help appreciated
Awesome video! With the Sony M cards can they handle the higher 200 and 280 bitrates or only the 100? Thanks in advance!
Could you show more of your 10bit 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0 experiments? IS 4:2:0 really better than All-I ?
If you're planning to do minimal work 420, if you're shooting in sLog3 then 422 10 bit so the footage doesn't show artifacts when adding colour in post.
A tip for zebras. You can set your Down button as a shortcut for Zebras, and Have Custom 1 and even Custom 2 set to what a face should be at (55 or 60 IRE etc.).
So when you're shooting, because you're on Zebra 100+, if you press "Down" "Down" then it quickly shows you custom 1. Then you flick back up to 100+
Also, Quick Question: Since you shoot in HS most of the times, and you're going from 24 to 50 to 100 (set in MyMenu 1), isn't possible just to have All your settings remain the same, but have the Framerate Change when you switch the Dial on top of the Camera to 1, 2, 3 for 24, 50 and 100? So you change it quicker, with a dial, instead of going in a menu...
(Furthermore I think you can lock the shutter speed to be appropriate 1/50, 1/100, 1/200) with these Memory functions. Is all of this true? Can 1 for 24, 2 for 50 and 3 for 100 be done on the dial without any problems?
Hi Max, great video thanks - I can't see the link to the settings file you mention.
This is great, thank You Max, You helped me alot with this video, just got a7siii too and already tested it first time at last saturday wedding :) Just one big problem here, have You found best color matching profiles between A7s II and A7S III already? As i mentioned before i filmed first wedding with these 2 cameras, set them both for 8bit 4:2:0 50fps HD (didn't want to go crazy with 4k at first video, don't know if my pc gonna handle it well lol), with cine4 and s-gamut3 cine profile, but they are so different in colors... I've found already that i had to lower wb in a7sIII for about 1000-1500K to match it with white balance from a7sII, mk. 3 seems a lot of warmer.. Maybe You found any sweet spot in colors between them?
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!!! :)
Is continuous in-camera playback of recorded video files possible on the A7sIII as it was on previous models? (Not having to advance manually after each file). If so, how is it set up?
Thanks.
Great. video ! Thanks! There is not one video on A7SIII and USB settings with RONIN S . Can you make one ?
When filming at XAVC HS h265 420, do you still transcode for editing or can computer handle it without transcoding? Thanks! Great video
great video Max. My a7siii arrived today, trying to follow along but i'm not seeing a 24p option in HS codec. only 50p or 100p. what am i doing wrong? :) edit nevermind, i had it in PAL. Once in NTSC it had 24p etc
Thanks for making this video. I feel like I am doing something wrong. When I load the settings, it does not seem to doing anything. Maybe because I have a later version of firmware; 1.02?
Hey Max, when you say @9:52 your PP10 is "for HDR," what effect/purpose are you looking to get out of this specifically? Super contrast and color-rich videos?
Do you have any updates to these recommendations, or are you sticking to them? I plan to edit on Lumafusion on my 2020 iPad Pro, should I still stick to the XAVC HS format?
Hey Max, good video, great work, let us know about HLG3, what did you found? Thx!!!
Hi Max, great video - where is the link to download your settings file ?
Hi @Max Yuryev great video I wanted to ask I'm in the PAL region and we don't have the option of XAVC HS at 25P my computer is a macbook pro 2020(March) i wanted to know should I go with the S-I mode at 25p or the S mode 25p I was thinking the S-I as you get more more mpbs but I wonder will my computer struggle to edit at 4.2.2? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Good guide Max...where is the file with your settings?
can you use the sandisk gold or extreme for shooting at all?
I have the cfexpress card type a and I cannot record in all i in 4k 120. Any reason 4 this?? Thanks.
thanks for the great video. Where can i download your settings?
cheers!
Trying to load your settings onto my A7S3 and can't seem to do it. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Why do you use HLG for HDR and not SLOG3? What are the advantages or disadvantages of SLOG for HDR?
Also 13:34 can you recreate Clear Image Zoom in post?
Hey Max, Could it be that there is no 25p Option when using PAL XAVC-HS h.265? i only have 50 or 100p to select!?
I just noticed that as well. Very odd!
hey i dont have proxy settings nor do i have s&Q settings, is that an software issue? or what do i do...
Great Video! Can I shoot with the M card in S&Q 240 FPS ??
The Sony E cards are pretty good too.
I have 1 of them and its V30 rated so you can still shoot 100Mb/s but for the higher bit rate modes you'll need something faster.
@@MaksimYuryev strange. I have the Sony E that is V60.
AsianWithHat ah is yours a larger capacity one? Mine is a 64GB so it’s possible that the larger ones could be V60 or the new ones are.
@@MaksimYuryev yeah, I only buy 128gb cards right now. It's the sweet spot. I also have Tough M's on the side just because I got tired of breaking Sandisk cards.
Dope Review Question Can The M1 Handle The Sony A7s3
Excuse me,, my A7s3 in video mode, i like to use subject “tracking focus”, because i want to put my camera into underwater housing to shoot underwater video, and focus tracking on some marine moving subject, like moving fishes, or moving nudibranch, so, it’s impossible to touch the screen, coz, it’s in the housing, i want to trigger it on button, but where is the button? how to set up the tracking button in menu? can tell me please? thank you very much.
So, for video, you can’t change the shutter speed on the FX3 but you can on the a7SIII?
thanks for the video :) do you know if the sony a7siii can do automatic focus stacking?
Hey I downloaded the file, but when I click load settings, it says "file doesn't exist" or something. Is there a specific sub folder this SONY folder needs to go in?
Preorder at July 30th, still in back-ordered status.... Don’t know when is my shipment start but can’t wait!!😂 nice to know those stuff! thanks!!!
Same here, I preordered on July 28th about 2 mins after announcement and I haven't gotten mine yet
Steven Useda damn, that is sucks!....... and i hate those people from eBay selling them high price, make me wanna swear
Hopefully yours come soon!
Max Yuryev yeah I'm hoping so too. Supposedly mine comes in mid October but we"ll see
I guess they weren't ready for the obvious avalanche of orders from us for this holy grail camera.
hey max could you please make a video for photos as well?
