Sony a7rIII – Menu Settings

I am the owner of a number of Sony cameras, the a7r, a7r II, A9, a7r III and the a6500. One of the first things you notice when you purchase a Sony camera is the overwhelming menu system. With the latest firmware releases and the release of new cameras, the menu system has gotten somewhat better. As a new owner of a Sony camera if you are like me you sit down and try to work your way through the menus. Many of the menu selection titles are somewhat confusing, to say the least. So, many times you skip over a menu item because you don’t understand it. I hope this video can help with understanding how I set my Sony a7r III up.
