Very good and thorough tutorial. Glad I found this tutorial - for one thing, Sony's User Guide sure is worthless. Had this little dynamite camera for several years but just now finally finding out the "wheres & whats" of many of these control features. Thanks much my friend for posting this and being so straight forward and thorough.
I gotta thank you for doing this breakdown showing what can be used,there is so much to learn,and I’m just starting out, after having a stroke,what I liked here was you so precise on what you want to say, I can understand everything you said ,and that’s hard since stroke. 🙏🙏
I like the fact that you had the display screen right in front of us (viewer) which made it intuitive to understand. Some of the other videos go back and forth between the contributor and sometimes just a parital view of display or "you should know"....well we don't. Thanks!
I am so happy that people like you exist! I'm going to have so much fun with this camera. I personally, would LOVE like a 10 hour video explaining all the features in detail, haha :) There's so many features to learn. This was very useful, thank you!
This video has been so helpful for me.I have this camera but have not learned my way around it yet.I had no idea I could do so much with this. Looking forward to using it more now.Thank you.
Thank you, Jay. I just bought the rx100 m3 and had some doubts that you have helped me to solve. I'm gonna watch your video till I know it by heart : ) Keep up the good work and many thanks again. Thanks to people like you, people like me can get better at what we do.
That was solid... I have some direction now... I'm a photography dummy and don't understand this stuff! Shutter, iso, aperture, exposure that lingo throws me into the Twilight Zone.
This is good, man. Sony’s interface is rich, complex, and confusing with sparse documentation. Your video sheds much needed light to get me started in how to use the little beast! 🙂
That. Was. Fabulous! I've just got a Sony RX100 Mk1 and this was fantastic to help me learn to use it. Yep, you have MarkIII but most of the internal functionality seems the same. Thanks Jay :)
Thank you a wonderful outline of features! I'm awaiting my RX 100 iii camera. As a watercolor/ oil painter the illustration effect looks very intriguing & most useful. Jeanne
Terrific video - great help! Thank you for putting this together. Have had - and loved - this camera, though I could never figure out how to set my own focus - can't tell you how I jumped with your straightforward, simple explanation! THANK YOU!
Thanks for this! I just got my new RX100 MK3 and im used to canon DSLR'S, I find Sony a little harder to get my head round, but this RX100 is a powerful little thing :)
Great video, thanks for posting it up. Just got a mark3 myself and getting to grips with it - lots to learn! I can't get over how small it is, I'm used to my chunky canon dslr. Thanks again, now subbed
As others have said - thanks for this. Nicely done. It will take practice to get this all figured out for up to speed shooting - but it's a great little overview. Cheers.
Curious how the Sony cameras work in comparison to the Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and others?? Then check out this breakdown of how the Sony RX100 III works, because all the Sony cameras work very much the same. Some offer different features, but the core concepts like focus modes, focus area, metering modes, etc.. all apply.
Great video. I'm a canon guy but sony makes the best high end point n shoots with the RX100. Gonna order the MkIII, don't need the features of the IV or V
Wow Jay!! Awesome tutorial! I have the RX100V in which I'm using manual focus for video by using the focus ring. It's really touchy along with needing to rotate quite a bit to find good focus. Do you have any tips for a quicker way to achieve focus throughout the entire frame such as wide? Will one of the Spot focus modes achieve most of the frame? I'd like to add, if I turn the camera off then back on, it looses the manual focus that I spent time on. As you know, time is a killer on heat issues along with battery life on these when shooting 4K. Thanks again for your awesome video! I'm definitely going to archive it. Great job buddy!! 😊😊👍
+Abhishek Ranadive Glad to hear it ;) Thanks for the comments! The menus have not changed much at all between the recent cameras. A few more features on the new ones is all... Jay
Very useful Jay, thanks. I´m mostly interested in use this camera as a portable, quality video camera, though, and I´d like to know how good it is the AF in video mode compared to your A6000. Thanks mate.
Great video. So helpful. I have a question: The aperture and shutter speed are blinking on video mode at the bottom of the screen and I do not know how to stop it or adjust them. I assume video is always in auto mode? Thanks for your help!
Brilliant tutorial!! New to photography and would like some advice on settings for moving objects-taking photos while riding my bicycle. Thank you:) I see there's shutter priority!
Shutter priority is the way to go, so you can make the shutter speed nice and fast. 1/1000sec or something like that. Auto/ Scene selection > Sports will also usually do a great job if your camera offers that ;)
at about 5:00 you talk about shooting RAW giving you the best possible quality but it will need more work. I'm new and I don't know what that means, what program to use or what else it means. I find that I take blurry images with the camera at times so I would like to know how shooting raw works
Hi Wayed, when I was referring to getting better quality when shooting raw I did not mean focus or sharpness. Raw files when compared to Jpeg files, have more editing latitude when using a image post processing program like Lightroom for example. As far as getting your photo sharp, you will need to make sure you have the correct focus and shutter speed in order to freeze the action if subjects are moving. A raw photo is basically un-edited. A Jpeg file is processed by the camera and compressed so the file size is significantly smaller than the raw file. Therefore the raw file contains more data in the highlights and shadows in particular, which allows for more advanced highlight and shadow recovery when post processing. I hope that helps! Jay
Hi. I notice that when people in the videos press the shutter continuosly , the camera takes multiple shots. However, when i do that, i only get one shot.
Thank you for thr very informative video. Could you explain the difference between the 3 auto mod and why didnt you explain the 2 other focus (afs/c # directmfocus etc) please ?
Thanks for the kind comments and just check out this video for that info please: th-cam.com/video/rJ5vnpgbdSQ/w-d-xo.html . All the Sony cameras work pretty much the same....
Great vid and have used some of your recommended settings. Quick question, when I shoot in aperture mode, it keeps saving 3 versions of the same shot with minimal difference. How can I change this to just one pic per shot? Thanks.
AKgoon82 Thanks for the comments and it sounds like you have one of the bracketing modes on. If you press the left side of the rear wheel, you should be able to scroll through and see what setting you are on. Jay
Thank you for the comments, and Yes, absolutely! Also, be sure to check out my more recent RX10 IV tutorial style videos, because they are very similar as well...
When using this camera and you set up the picture features you want/like, do those translate over to the video mode for creative video features? Or is it that once you are in video mode you're locked out of using some of the picture features etc?
As a Fuji user for the past few years, x100s/x-pro1, I'm so tempted by this little camera but am worried I won't be satisfied with the iq compared to the x100s. What's your thoughts. Would love to take a little pocket camera like this on my holiday but keep top iq.
nicky coe The X100s has killer image quality and it's hard to say how close it would actually be int he real world. I would think pretty close, but the larger sensor does make a difference ;)
Hi there, I'm thinking of buying a rx100 mk1 as it sells for a great price now . Is there a big difference in menu options and possibilities between the mk1, mk2, mk3 etc ? Of course there are more 'hardware' features introduced with each newer model but will I find the things you described in the first rx100 as well ? Thanks a lot for your answer ;)
Hi Jason, thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy this camera but would like to know if it can record both PAL and NTSC video (50P and 60P). Unfortunately I cannot find this info anywhere... :(
Francisco Penedo I honestly don't know. I believe if you buy in the region where PAL is the standard, then the camera is also that standard. Mine was NTSC @ 30 and 60p. The Sony A7II I currently have only appears to have the NTSC standard on it. I could be wrong about this though....
Hi Jay: one question about the vew finder. How to avoid for thr picture to blow up when I attempt to focus? I only use it in Manaul Mode and rotating the lens dial confuses me
can't seem to activate slo mo have it in the right settings but does not slo in camera is it in post production only also how does the 4k still option work always in grey mode
Gary Lazo It's only going to be slow in post processing if you chose to slow down the clip. The extra frames is what allows for the video to be slowed down in post processing. 60p will allow for 1x slower if you cange it to 30p in post production for example....
No, not that I know of, which is why I tried to show you that situation a few times ;) Thanks for the comments Mike! Please consider joining the forum to share some photos and/or learn more! www.sonyalphalab.com/forums/forum.php
Hi Jay thanks for the reply i got an SDXC card but i don't know which my setting are now XAVC S but then i have to choose 50p 50M 25P 50M or 100P 50M and this is don't know Greatings Alex
I use the 24p in the USA, so that would be 25p in your case. The 50p and 100p is for higher frame rates and allows for slowing down the video in post processing.
I am trying to clarify so I understand because I have had 2 previous head injuries. If I am shooting MF, I can adjust the aperture to what I want each time if I am in the P Mode, which normally controls shutter speed and aperture. Is that right? In the MF in P Mode, can I still adjust the aperture to what I want?
First of all, thanks a lot for the comprehensive video, Jay! I bought a camera yesterday to replace my old ancient one. I think I have an older version of yours (it states DSC-RX100 Cyber-Shot on the box, so I think it's the version 1 of the DSC-RX100 line). I will primarily use it to photograph my collectibles indoor, with usually minimal lighting in evenings / Winter. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make a full focus picture of an angled flat surface. My camera unfortunately doesn't have the large-spot focus mode your camera has. But what setting would you use to get a clear focus image of a roughly 8.5 cm (~3.35 inch) flat surface at an angle? Here an example of a picture I just took: i.imgur.com/kBzD5MD.jpg (ignore the date, still have to disable that; and also ignore the flat colors, I've had the flash off for now just to try things out on step at a time). As you can see in this picture, the bottom part is fairly in focus, but the top part not at all. What kind of settings would you use to have an equally distributed focus on the entire angled surface?
Hi Kevin ;) In order to get a larger depth of field which is what you want in this case, you would need to use a higher aperture number. FOr example if you switch the camera to A Mode and then turn the adjustment dial on the back the aperture will change. Try setting it to f/8 and see what happens ;) The shutter speed will intern slow down and the ISO will go really high if you have it set to Auto, so I would also change the ISO to 100 and use a tripod so the camera does not move for the longer exposure.
@@Jason_Hermann Thanks, that worked like a charm! It was f1.8 by default, and changing it to f5-f10 really made a difference. I'll play around a bit to see what settings work best where, and have already favorited your video as reference for later. :) Thanks again for the great video and the quick reply.
Wondering how to use your new Sony camera?? It can be a hard learning curve and in this video I will breakdown all the key features that matter. All the newer Sony cybershot and alpha cameras have the same menu system and basic features. So, come along for a ride using the RX100 III and see how and what the camera can do for you ;) #sony #cybershot #sonyalpha #howto #photography #photographytips #rx100 #sonyrx100 #sonyphotography #sonyphoto
Jay, I have the Sony RX-10. Is there a way to use the camera as a real-time video camera and run the output directly into a computer for live video? I would like to use the camera on Google hangouts in place of a standard web camera for doing live video. Is this possible? GH
Hi Jay, I'm new to Sony digital cameras (been a Canon shooter since the 70s) and just received my little RX100 IV this weekend. I'm amazed (and also a bit overwhelmed) with all its features (how can such a tiny thing pack so many features?) and was looking for a tutorial, which brought me here. Since the Mark 4 was released at about the same time as Sony's flagship A7RII, everyone seems to concentrate on it and I couldn't find any tutorials/help for us new Mark 4 users, but your RX100 III video was still very helpful to me. Thanks a lot! The one feature I'm struggling with right now is Flexible Spot Focusing. I'd like to keep that setting. Is there a simpler way to access it, without having to go into Functions and select it each time? I've been playing with it, but couldn't find a quicker way. Anyway, I'll subscribe and maybe you'll do another tutorial for the Mark 4 some day?

Gary Lazo It's only going to be slow in post processing if you chose to slow down the clip. The extra frames is what allows for the video to be slowed down in post processing. 60p will allow for 1x slower if you cange it to 30p in post production for example....
Thanks for the great insights.....

How to shoot blurr free photos in manual mode ?
PS: Low/Very Low light
High ISO, lowest aperture number, and fastest possible shutter speed!!
I am trying to clarify so I understand because I have had 2 previous head injuries.
If I am shooting MF, I can adjust the aperture to what I want each time if I am in the P Mode, which normally controls shutter speed and aperture.
Is that right?
In the MF in P Mode, can I still adjust the aperture to what I want?
Yes, but if you want specific control of the aperture itself, I would use the A mode which stands for Aperture Priority Mode.

As you can see in this picture, the bottom part is fairly in focus, but the top part not at all. What kind of settings would you use to have an equally distributed focus on the entire angled surface?
Hi Kevin ;) In order to get a larger depth of field which is what you want in this case, you would need to use a higher aperture number. FOr example if you switch the camera to A Mode and then turn the adjustment dial on the back the aperture will change. Try setting it to f/8 and see what happens ;) The shutter speed will intern slow down and the ISO will go really high if you have it set to Auto, so I would also change the ISO to 100 and use a tripod so the camera does not move for the longer exposure.
@@Jason_Hermann Thanks, that worked like a charm! It was f1.8 by default, and changing it to f5-f10 really made a difference. I'll play around a bit to see what settings work best where, and have already favorited your video as reference for later. :)
Thanks again for the great video and the quick reply.
Wondering how to use your new Sony camera?? It can be a hard learning curve and in this video I will breakdown all the key features that matter. All the newer Sony cybershot and alpha cameras have the same menu system and basic features. So, come along for a ride using the RX100 III and see how and what the camera can do for you ;)

Jay,
I have the Sony RX-10. Is there a way to use the camera as a real-time video camera and run the output directly into a computer for live video? I would like to use the camera on Google hangouts in place of a standard web camera for doing live video. Is this possible?

Thank you!
Hi Jay, I'm new to Sony digital cameras (been a Canon shooter since the 70s) and just received my little RX100 IV this weekend. I'm amazed (and also a bit overwhelmed) with all its features (how can such a tiny thing pack so many features?) and was looking for a tutorial, which brought me here.
Since the Mark 4 was released at about the same time as Sony's flagship A7RII, everyone seems to concentrate on it and I couldn't find any tutorials/help for us new Mark 4 users, but your RX100 III video was still very helpful to me. Thanks a lot!
The one feature I'm struggling with right now is Flexible Spot Focusing. I'd like to keep that setting. Is there a simpler way to access it, without having to go into Functions and select it each time? I've been playing with it, but couldn't find a quicker way.
Anyway, I'll subscribe and maybe you'll do another tutorial for the Mark 4 some day?
Thanks for this video :) It was helpful.
Thank you for the comments!
Better video 👍
Thanks. Hopefully most of this applies to my HX400
