    Hi Chris. Just a question regarding this old video. Can you tell me if you manage to make hybrid wedding. I mean still plus video with the same body. As I try but picture profile is apply to video and still if I use the record button on the back. Is the still be ok even with picture profile? Do you have a solution? I try to use memory one and two, but it’s to long go back and force from still to video with wheel on top. Sorry if I’m not clear enough but I’m French. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Chris, quick question for you. Tab 1 page 10 – SPOT METERING POINT. Do you have this set to CENTER or FOCUS POINT LINK? Many thanks…

    Hey Chris, Thanks for Posting the video…. A quick question:
    I am already using Sony A7S 2 for shooting videos… I am planning to switch to Sony A7RIII and want to sell my Sony A7S 2, do you think Sony A7RIII will be good for Video and Photography work? Also, with this camera, Can I do Catalogue photography as good as Canon 5D Mark III or IV?.
    Thanks & Regards

    Thank you very much for doing this video! Very helpful. Any reason why you have a piece black tape to hide the Sony logo on the camera? Just curious.

    Kiaora Chris, great content so far mate. I’m about to switch from Canon to Sony and currently looking at the A73. I’d like to ask how often you use the crop in mode when shooting? Having a 18mp image on the a7r3 when punched in compared to 10mp on A73 is the main thing that has me on the fence between the two especially as I also love my primes. Would you have still gone for A7r3 if the a73 was out when you switched systems? Cheers!

    great video but really fast i kept pausing it to understand the menu.

    Hi Chris, thanks for sharing great video. I’m a recent new Sony Shooter coming from Canon and have a few quick questions for hibrid shooting settings
    1. When I took my card out of slot 1 it didn’t automatically goto slot 2 instead it wouldn’t let me shoot. Is there a setting that fixes this
    2. I think I will have a custom mode with spot focus What’s the best spot focus mode? Similar to using on canon when here are lots of people in the shot but you want to spot focus

    Hello Chris! Great Video, do you think that file size from the 42mp are not to heavy for wedding photography? Cheers from New Calédonia.
