Hi Matt, I forgot how to load your settings on to camera. Is there any instructional video that you made? I recently updated the firmware v3 but not sure how I loaded your setting before. Grateful for your help. Thanks
This was hands down the best video series I have found for the A7s III - THANK YOU! I have had this for ages but never had the time (nor, frankly, the expertise) to get the most out of it. Hopefully, that will now be closer to reality!
This is probably a long shot - but if I have a very bright background and a bit shadowy for the subject, is there a way for the camera to adjust exposure for both without adding lots of lighting? The iPhone seems to do some wizardry that I don't understand to make that happen!
If you film in log and expose brightly without zebras in your highlights thst should help. But the iPhone is doing a lot of magic and work to brighten things up
@@whoismatt thanks, yes, I expected as much! I will try as you suggest as I am learning gradually and just love the camera! Thanks for your great work here.
Great video Matt. You're awesome. You inspired me to a TH-cam channel here in Africa. And now, anytime I talk about a Sony cameras, I can't help but to talk about your genius to my audience. Still a very little channel but with inspiration from you I'm sure this will be great. You're the real champ!
i just got an a7s3 yesterday and put in your custom settings download. this is also my first mirrorless camera ever owned (prior gopro user) I've watched this video like 10 times now trying to remember and figure out how to work this Flux Capacitor. however i have thoroughly enjoyed your videos.
The video that changed my life. I have been using this camera since launch, and this would have saved me so much hassle, and This will make my future shots better. Thank you!!!
Thank you! Just received my A7s3 and this will save me so much time setting up. I love your use of all the knobs and buttons. Ready to run and gun shoot!
I watched this video when first released and it was a big help in setting up my A7siii. Now I haven't been shooting for a while and no one has done a better job of describing the proper and best set up for this camera than you. And by the way, there is no description in the Sony manual that begins to explain the functions the way you do. Many thanks again. Clear and concise.
This Part2 is Another WINNER. I used it to translate to my new A7 IV with just a few exceptions. Now it's just a matter of remembering where everything is! HA. I make notes for each change, because unfortunately, Sony doesn't make a way to backtrack to the "default" setting for a single option. Only useful for those "OCD" times of wondering, "Hmmm, what was the default value?" THANKS AGAIN, MATT...GREAT JOB!
All done!! A7siii all set up. Awesome Settings vid Matt. Now waiting for my Fx3 to arrive tomorrow. I will take the shortcut and just download the setting since I’ve watch part 1 & 2. Thanks again champ.
Everytime favourite and useful information we will get from you brother ☺️❤️ although is so useful for beginners as you give brief information about menu setup as in part 1...so nice to see you🙌🏼🥂
So Matt, you’re awesome, so much information coming out of you its like the ol drinking from a fire hose routine. I just charged up my A7s III battery for the first time and started your video. When I really want to lean something I take written notes all along the way meaning: pause / write / rewind / write some more and then push play - then REPEAT this 1000 times. Whew!! But its just that you have so much good stuff here. THANK YOU, YOU’RE A GREAT TEACHER.
Dear Matt, great stuff and saves me soo much time to figure out what is what...I saw the previous video you made on the menus but for the button lay out functions it would be great if you make one for the FX3 cause the layout is quite different :-) thanks!!
Yesss! Been waiting for this. This is incredibly helpful for someone who is just finally getting serious about wedding filmmaking and is still learning all the advanced stuff there is to know. Thanks a million!!!
Great info Matt! Lol I still don’t have the A7siii but I’ve been watching all your videos In the playlist so I can get an idea of how I want to set up my camera when I get it.
Tôi đã giành 2 buổi tối để xem phần 1 và phần 2 của bạn. Tôi đã làm theo tất cả những gì bạn hướng dẫn, và hiểu hơn về chiếc máy của tôi. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều :X
I want to thank you for this excellent tutorial and for giving all of us your camera settings to copy them to our cameras. Pt 1 and Pt 2 of these videos plus the How to Expose in SLOG3 helped me achieve absolutely great results last week. Your settings are really practical and really work, and your tips are to the point. Unless other self-proclaimed gurus (e.g. Mark Galer) your tips actually made me shoot the video with the cinematic look I was looking. Other TH-camrs DON'T give away all their tricks. They are selfish with their "secrets".
Freaking amazing. I’m saving this for the future when I can afford it 🙏🏻! But so helpful. You’ve got me through so many weddings with the Sony a7ii settings setup 😎💪🏻
thanks Matt... All set... I just screw all of my first shots from Milwaukee Bucks Championship Parade and Our trip to the West. Now I'll gave to deal with those XAVC HS 4K files that and already can tell that stabilizing them will take me for ever... But got some stunning shots from Glacier NP and Yellowstone But since 'm not coming back there anytime soon looks like I have no choice and will give my computer a hard time soon... Thanks. Cheers
You mentioned that you were able to change the AF button to the record start stop that is such a cool feature and I would love to do it but I don’t find record start stop in the menu. Can you please teach us how to do that? thank you so much. This video is so informative. Unbelievable how do you break it down so clearly you are so talented
Hallo Matt, one suggestion from a guy in a german forum, wich works very well: you can register time automatic to one of the function keys. While prssing the button, you switch between manual mode and automatic. If you have no time to set your exposure correctly, this may save your shot. You get instantly a well balanced clip. The A7SIII performs changin in the shutter very smoothly. I combined this with the exposure compensation Dial set to +1 (for ETTR). I normally prefer shooting in manual mode, but this workflow is for run and gun a big plus. It is so damed fast. I registered this function to AEL, works very fine for me.
What an amazing video Matt, you are the king of customisation! Speaking about your Select Finder/Monitor on MANUAL mode and controlled by the REAR2/No.5 Down Button, I have just discovered and some may find useful to set the Select Finder/Monitor on AUTO mode. This way, by pressing the Down Button you can set the screen on and off to save battery even during video recording/time lapses and you still have the Auto Viewfinder feature when you get your eye close to it :) Your Dial Settings are fantastic too and I thought that since the Dial No.3 is for 4K 120fps, which means shutter at 1/250 and consequently a lot less light, some may want to register it with a faster aperture than f2.8. I set mine as fast as possible to f1.4, as my Sigma 16mm allows that. If the lens you're using can't open that much, you could register Dial No.3 with a higher ISO like 12,800 as it's the High Base ISO in S-Log2 and S-Log3 on the A7siii, therefore the cleanest one in that range :)
I've referred to these two videos multiple times so THANK YOU for taking the time to make them. I prefer to do all this manually rather than just download your settings as it gets me more familiar with the menus. Now the firmware has been updated for the A7s3 would you do an update? Also some help specifically setting up the FX3 would be super useful as some of the settings differ. I have one of each.
I just bought my FX3 last week. I was really hesitant to dive into the menu and make settings choices - my typical behavior each time I get a new camera, which is not often. I found your Custom Buttons Setup really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you Matt your laid-back demeanor and knowledge is always a pleasure. I’ve been watching you for years. I specifically do wildlife filming. Do you have a recommendations on Settings, frame rate, codec picture profile for wildlife on A7s3 curious minds want to know Thanks Van
Super helpful & thank you for the .DAT file! However, I wanted to let folks know I followed the instructions, but there was not folder after "Private". To solve this I had to FIRST save the current button setup to the memory card (after formatting) THEN it showed the CAMSET folders, etc. Just a friendly suggestion if you run into the same thing!
Hi Matt.I'm a big fan of yours and as a beginner have learnt heaps.Thanks so much.The only frustrating issue is I have an FX3 and the buttons are configured differently from the a7Siii. Really want to set up as you have! Any advice? Thanks again Matt for your inspiration and sharing your knowledge!
Love this video, wish you would do one for the fx3 specifically, as this is one as the button layouts is an area where the 2 are quite different. One missing button you suggest on the a7siii that isn’t available or in a different spot, well leaves me curious which way to go. Maybe when the fx30 comes out you could do that…
I loved your video on the Tascam DR-10L settings, and I was just thinking, "I hope there's a guide like that for this new camera my friend told me to rent." Lo and behold, you saved the day again! Thank you!
Great Video Matt Thank you! FX3 - unable to use ISO button #3 after changing Exposure Ctrl Type to P/A/S/M Mode. I must have gone wrong somewhere. Does your A7SIII Settings Preset also work for the FX3 which has slightly different menu options?
@@whoismatt Thanks Matt. FX3 written in the video title threw me off a bit but manually changing the rest of the settings are all looking great on the FX3.
Great video Matt. You have made this all SO easy. Ive downloaded the presets but I want to tweak them. Do I have to go through the whole preset again and assign to 1,2,3 on the rotary dial or can I build/amend the current presets? Hopefully the latter. I just want to move from manual filming to Aperture priority with a auto ISO. I know - I am sorry, but I am filming myself 99% of the time so just need good footage with minimal effort. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome. Liked and subscribed. This is my go to channel for my A7s iii
Thanks, very cool. One suggestion/wish from someone who implemented your settings: it would be helpful to have a small graphic that shows which buttons have which functions. Maybe a business-card-sized printout we could carry around while we get used to the new functions.
It’s an extra step but you can save your M1-4 settings by dragging the folder onto your desktop. So if you format the card you can restore them without having to redo them every time. I keep some picture profile adjustments on them so it’s worth the fiddling about to save them.
Mode 1, 2 and 3 aren't on the FX1? MR1 settings delete when we reformat card. How do we fix that Matt? Great vids. I'm in Jamaica on a shoot watching your tutorials. Your saving our ass. Ha!
Good advice and excellent video but I would advise everyone to work out their own customisation for their workflow. Matt's is a good start but I have me zebras and peaking on/off on the left scroll and down scroll respectively. I don't want anything on my scroll wheel that can accidentally change the image. I keep ISO on there but it's something you have to confirm. One thing I would suggest you put on your function menu is Picture Profile. I use 3 different profiles on the A7SIII and I often have to change them mid shoot. SLog3, S-Cinetone and OFF (for greenscreen work). Like Matt I have peaking and zebra levels on my Fn button but I don't bother with the on/off because they're on my scroll wheel. Instead I have gamma assist on/off as I like to check my SLog image occasionally uncorrected for highlights. I also have white balance in there - yeah I've got it assigned to C2 on top of the camera but if you can't see the top of the camera it's too easy to accidentally hit the record button so I keep it on the Function menu as well. One other thing to note - unlike Matt I don't really trust Sony's multi metering. You get used to it and can judge exposure using zebras etc but a handy little trick is to cycle through the display options and first after "all off" brings up the histogram. Although primarily designed for stills it's handy, especially in log mode as you can quickly check you haven't clipped your highlights and shadows using the histogram. Now if only Sony would give us shutter angle rather than speed all us video shooters would be grateful.

Thank you for this video. I've been procrastinating tackling MENUS and the rest of the setup for literally months. This was very helpful.
Extraordinarily useful video, and I love the kind of presence Matt has : knowledgeable, practical, and authentic.

Useful advice, thank you! But I miss that buttom that adds an "S" and turns my A73 into an A7S3 😉
Same 😭
That button has a name called " wallet".... Make sure you set to " double" to match the price of the S version in comparison to that of A73...
