(LINKS BELOW): This is a long and comprehensive video. There is a complete linked table of contents in this full description below the break. I run through every menu option in the Q3’s photo mode, customize the camera’s favorites menu and controls, run quickly through video settings and then cover how I’ve set up my custom profiles to quickly swap settings for different shooting scenarios and to limit the plethora of choices in each customizable control to a sensible group for each button. I’ve linked a download of those custom profiles below.
