So happy this video is still here because I just updated my A7S3 and all of my settings got wiped. My second time following your steps again Peter, thank you.
Thanks for the tips! I just have one thing to add. The Lexar 250 MB/s 1667x v60 SD card also works for recording any mode except for Intra. Yes, that means it can record 4K 120p XAVC HS or XAVC S at 10 bit 4:2:2. It's double the storage for less than half the price of the Lexar 2000x. I've purchased it and tested it myself. Just thought you should know 🙃
Thank you so much Peter. I'm coming from Leica which has like 4 buttons and a dial and totally overwhelmed. The insight into you settings was awesome. Adopted almost all. 🙂
Hey my fellow Scandinavian. Loved the video. I recently got the camera and it's great. Is there away to reach out to you regarding the picture profile settings? I could really use some help.
Hello Peter! Thanks for this informative video Need your advice as I am planning to purchase a new camera I currently shoot with a Sony A7III and I need a camera that can allow me to shoot 4k Slow motion. I am looking for a good low light camera as I mostly shoot at night. What camera will you suggest? What do you think of the sony A7siii? What lens? Thought of the Sony 50mm f1.2 Thanks for your advice
Peter. Amazing video and you are getting amazing footage with this camera as are others on TH-cam. I have this camera and my shots just don't look like yours (amazing) - wondering what I am doing wrong. I thought I was uploading to TH-cam incorrectly (still possible) but in final cut prior to upload, it still doesn't look as clear as it should. Shooting in S-Log, in either 640 ISO (outdoors sunny) or 12800 ISO(indoors darker), either 24fps, 1/50 shutter speed or 120fps, 1/250 shutter speed. My footage is soft. Trying to figure it out after spending so much on this thing. I feel like I am following your advice but still missing something. Thanks
Excellent! Thanks a million for this, really useful. Just got mine this week here in Switzerland and I’m grateful to have these golden tips for my Sonya7siii.
For the last few months my heart has been set on the Canon R5, but now I'm leaning more towards the A7S III. I will come back to copy all these settings as soon as my camera arrives :).
Great Video!! Please keep in mind that in order for you to see the emph disp dur Rec setting you have to be in the movie mode, It isn't there if your in manual Mode. But once its on you can use it in any mode.
I would like to see more "city in the dark" films and what kind of settings/setup you use. Men som vanligt, bra content och sjukt bra filmer sista tiden så kämpa på nu kompis!!!
@@AM1media yea, I ordered from amazon and B&H and just waiting to see which will ship first so I can cancel the other. But with my luck they’ll probably ship the same day. 😂
Peter love this channel. I try to set custom white balance to in manual to custom 1and then I go back to my M1 preset and try to recall the custom 1 white balance and it isn't there - any recommendations? This is driving me nuts
Hi thank you for the great video ! 2 questions : which picture profile for video for a beginner? Slog is good for people who do color correction, but for someone who doesn't? Which color profile should I select? Why did you set C2 for AF/MF whereas there's already a button for that (AF.ON)? Or maybe I misunderstood something?
The All-I is easier for your software because the files are less compressed (hence why they are bigger) so the computer has less data to "unpack" when it reads the files.
These lexar sd cards are great. 💛 I use v90 in my A7siii but combine it with Lexar 1667X V60 256gb (which costs less than 100$🥳) The v60 supports all formats except ALL-I and HD200fps (yes, I also use PAL). Which is quite a reasonable combination and I don't feel pain when the next minute is passing during corporate work. 😅 Btw great video, like any of yours ☺️ Best from Poland :)
I recently found out about your channel. Your presentation skills are awesome. Oh man, that's really a pleasure to watch your content with that awesome Swedish accent. Great work mate. Cheers.
Do you have your white balance as auto for video or do you set it? I’m trying to figure out what to do for my a7iii because if I do AWB you can’t lock it and it can shift randomly sadly.
Hi Peter - awesome video as always... just checked to add the red recording box, but in shooting mode that option isn’t there on mine 😭 what firmware do you have?
Thanks for the video. Just some question on the PP. I thought Slog2 - ITU709 is thing right now. Just wondering whether you have tried that yet and decided to go for Slog3.
Just filmed my unboxing! But mostly just eye candy - don't have as many technical insights yet, as I just switched to Sony from Nikon (A7RIII for a month or so and nos the A7SIII also)!
One thing I have added to what you have done is to add a button to do 1.5x Clear Image Zoom on one button. I assigned that to the center button on the rear wheel,
Hi Peter, First of all, thanks a bunch for your videos! Just subscribed to make sure i am up to date. As you are somewhat of a Sony A7III expert and I am merely a novice, I have some questions for you. I recently started photographing real estate as my main profession - all going very well - shooting in HDR and doing my job to everyone's satisfaction. Now I decided to transition into real estate video with my Sony A7III and it is like an entirely new world of trouble.. My goal is to shoot 'buttery smooth', high def, real estate videos for my clientele - it's not going the way i wished for. I am experiencing immense stuttery/choppy video when moving around in a given house and I have tried to trouble-shoot it on the web, but I am having a hard time fixing the issue. My setup is the following: Sony A7III 35mm full-frame, FE4/16-35 Ronin-S Gimbal I have setup the custom mode 1 to: Manual Exposure XAVC S 4K, 25p 100M, using the 180 degree rule for shutter speed = 1/50, F4.0. As my focus isnt a single object my focus is set to wide and continuous focus. I have setup the custom mode 2 to: Manual Exposure XAVC S HD, 50p 50M, using the 180 degree rule for shutter speed = 1/100, F4.0. As my focus isnt a single object my focus is set to wide and continuous focus. I have tried both setups with both steady and more raw movement on the gimbal. Either way I am getting stuttery/choppy/laggy/chunky video. The videos i am aiming for are "walking tours" in and around the given house. As I am presenting holiday houses for German tourists in Denmark (yes we are neighbours, hei o/). So my immediate need is to get the video 'butter-smooth' rather than cinematic. Also the videos are one-takes, not several clips with transitions. Was wondering if my issue is due to too rapid movement or maybe some misconception of the shutter speed or maybe my file-format setup. Was also wondering if using a lens with wider aperture would make a difference - say maybe an F1.4 or F1.8? Why am I experiencing this issue and what can I do to prevent it? I am frustrated using a supreme camera and not being able to produce just marginally satisfactory raw material. Hope you have time and energy to help a novice out. Thank you Peter, and sorry for the massive post.
Gotta say, I've been screwed by Lexar cards before. SD cards are arguably the most important part of your camera system, so it pays to not go cheap. Nothing worse than getting back to the editing room and noticing that footage is gone.
Hey Peter. Thanks for this video. Question for you: Is there any way to change the color of the bright red outline that shows on the screen when recording ("Emph disp dur REC"). It's a great feature, but I have a partial red/green colorblindness, so I find it hard to see this. It's even worse trying to view the screen outdoors? With peaking, Sony gives us many choices of colors--white, yellow, red, and I think blue? I'd love to change this color to make this a more valuable feature for us color challenged people. (I actually got pause and record turned around on a recent shoot and lost some moments because I couldn't see the red outline.) Thanks!
@@PeterLindgren1 thanks for your answer!. 500mbps would be any frame rate in ALL-i? How much is a lot? 1 hour? I've been searching a lot about SD cards for the A7SIII, and seems that the one that's works better is the Prograde SDXC V90.
@@PeterLindgren1 what? In custom mode the custom white balance is greyed out when you want to use the set button and use the rectangle to make white balance... not in yours ? When i push the set button is says that the function is Not available...
@@PeterLindgren1 so you can’t use the custom modes and make a white balance with a grey card. Is this no restriction for you? What is your workflow then?
Is it just me or does the A7SIII have some flickering on the monitor and in the footage? I was shooting a B-Roll sequence and every clip had flickering
Fantastic Peter - just the kick-start I needed to start setting my a7SIII - and I'd never have found the "Emphasis display during REC" without your explanation so thank you very much, and the out-takes at the end cap off a great video perfectly :)
Hmmm... recording with RED WINDOWFRAME (9:05) Where can I find this within the camerasettings? I don't have this like you said.. You talk about it but don't show it via the menu. (tip; please show next time) when I go: (4) Shooting Mode I have 3 settings; 1) Recall Cam Setting 2) Cam Set Memory 3) Memory/Recall Media 4) Reg.Custom Shoot Set or Shooting>Shooting Display, I have only 3 settings: 1)Gridline display 2)gridline type 3) liveview display set. no other options..

Would these settings be good for the A7c?
watched this video many times but never got to the end, love the bloopers
Do you use epidemic sound? Btw your videos are awesome, well put together and I have literally taken notes and studied them
Thanks for the tips!
I just have one thing to add. The Lexar 250 MB/s 1667x v60 SD card also works for recording any mode except for Intra. Yes, that means it can record 4K 120p XAVC HS or XAVC S at 10 bit 4:2:2.

Does the v60 card work in S&Q 4k120 h.265? Documentation states v90 for for this particular S&Q setting.
Will this also work on the fujifilm quicksnap flash 400? 🤔

Love the red frame to let you know you're recording! All camera's should have some sort of "Tally Light"
My S1H has this feature plus Tally lights (rear/front). It is very good to have them and they will be probably implemented in other cameras as well.
Do you have your white balance as auto for video or do you set it? I’m trying to figure out what to do for my a7iii because if I do AWB you can’t lock it and it can shift randomly sadly.
Hi Peter - awesome video as always... just checked to add the red recording box, but in shooting mode that option isn’t there on mine 😭 what firmware do you have?

Thanks!
Never clicked on a video so fast ! Is the a7iii settings coming as well🥺👀👀?
Can you shoot at 4K 120fps with a regular V90 SD Card? Or do you need the new Sony Express Cards?
mine just shipped! So excited to get it and set all my custom settings. Probably gonna do something similar to this so thanks man!
Why do you put shutter speed triple in 25fps?
Perfect timing. Mine arrives Monday. Freakin excited
What happened on the 12 sec, color changes dramatically? did you changr from SIII to A7?
Just filmed my unboxing! But mostly just eye candy - don't have as many technical insights yet, as I just switched to Sony from Nikon (A7RIII for a month or so and nos the A7SIII also)!

Can you use custom white balance in the custom modes? It wasn't possible with the A7 III...(or I didn't know how....)
than you so much, it really helped
Love the low shot of you getting out of the car made you look bigger then life.
Nice, great information.
I’ll be back to adjust my settings

Hi Peter nice video.What is your opinion on the ISO160 provided by Sony for s-log3 in a7siii? Is it exploitable? Can we use it and when?
Super helpful vid for this noob, thanks Peter!
