4 years later and I'm glad I've found your quick start tutorials. I wanted a great compact camera for vacation instead of lugging a full frame DSLR plus lenses. The Sony RX100 VII met almost 90% of my needs for vacation photo and videos. Thank you for sharing. Much appreciate it. Cheers!

One more hint: Flip the flash with your left index finger upwards so it will fire at a ceiling. The result may be way more pleasing than direct flash.

Have you tried slow sync? It's my only way not to have dog red eye. I only use slow sync now.

Best of the instructors, I think! Pre NIKON D500, D610, D750... Now SONY a6300, a9 and RX100VII. Thanks so much Tony! Splendid and clear pro quality tutorials!

Great tutorial Tony. I’ve had the RX100 VII for two years and have found your instruction so helpful in getting more out of this amazing little camera. Thank you 😊

THANK YOU! This was a terrific tutorial! I have gone from an a7RII to an a6500 and now to the RX100VII just because I wanted something powerful and pocketable. Very impressive tech in such a small package.

What a great tutorial, having owned a mk1 several years ago and now just bought a new one I was having trouble remembering how to navigate this great camera. Thanks so much for this video, great information and a joy to listen to.

Another way to turn on the camera, just to review photos, is to press the Play button on the back. That way you can look at your pictures without activating the lens every time.

Thank you for this review! I received my RX 100 vii a couple of days ago and your review has been the very best instructional tutorial posted. Very hands-on for novices like myself. Round 2 of this one soon.

AF-C and 'tracking expand flexible spot" seems to work really well. Once I focus, I can recompose, and it keeps that point more or less over my intended focal point. Pretty neat.

I don't usually write comments but on this one i was compelled to. I must say that what a good fortune it is that a page like yours exists on youtube. I bought this camera recently and was desperate to learn all the things so that i could fully utilize all the benefits of this beautiful machine. Now instead of mountainous and time consuming task of reading everything in the manual all i had to do was watch this one hour video. Best way to learn and i also like how you setup a huge tv in the back for headings. By the way i love the way you deliver your speech, clear and precise.

Thank you for sharing this! I bought your stunning photography book when I got D7200 and your tips are very useful. So glad to see this toturial for my RX100m3.

4 years later me too... I bought the MVII recently and this video is one of the best about this camera in the channel and highly professional! No unnecessary talk and straight to the point, but very comprehensible at the same time. Great thanks Tony, you have given me lots of inspiration!

Thank you for not complaining about the design/functionality "flaws" (there is NO perfect camera) of this. Your tutorial is very useful, even for my RX100 VI, thank you!

Thanks for this very useful tuto, it'll save me lots of time learning this beast... You are a very talented "teacher", again a big THANKS !

Just received my RX100VII this morning. My 1st Sony so some of those menus items were foreign to me coming from Canon. Amazing tutorial, thanks so much!

I just bought the Sony RX100 VII and this was sooooo helpful. Thank you and I'll be getting into your other sources of information for next steps.

I wish these cameras would put a battery percentage icon instead of these vague 4 bar battery indicators.

Thank you for a very useful tutorial..I bought a used Sony RX100 online and tried to learn How to transfer videos from my camera to my iPhone 6 so I watched other tutorial videos and bought the lightning to USB camera adapter but didn’t work ... so I came to your video and you mentioned about formatting the memory card .. I did that and omg tried video transfer and was successful ...love the way you teach it’s clear and perfect👍 thanks again and stay safe❤️

Thanks for the great tutorial! Mine just shipped and will be here within days of seeing this video.

I am looking to buy the RX100m7 very soon, and YT recommended your video. I love photography, but I generally keep things on auto on my Sony HX60. I'm familiar with what some functions do, but wouldn't know how to use them properly, so I'm so pleased that you went through each feature slowly, explaining them as simply as possible. I have clicked subscribe, and will definitely come back to this video to refresh my memory.

Just got this camera, thank you so much for this free video. I wouldn't have know about your books without it and now I am going to pick them up.

Just purchased this camera. A really excellent tutorial Tony, a BIG thank you!

Thank you - just bought the RX100VII - This has to be the best intro tutorial I have seem. Brilliant - many thanks - Piers

Great teaching style. I just bought a IV(on a budget), with little knowledge or experience. and this is really helping. I'll check out your other stuff after I finish this one. subscribed!

Absolutely the best training video I have ever seen!!

I just received my Sony RX100 VII and your tutorial came in handy. I just came back from a trip in the Antelope Arizona and instead of taking photos with a DSLR, I ended up just using my iPhone because the tour was going so fast, so a powerful pocket camera would have been really handy. Therefore, I decided to buy the Sony RX100 VII (instead of a mirrorless camera) which is great when traveling plus there is a great tutorial video(yours) to help me figure out on how to use and navigate the menu :) :) :).. Actually I watched this tutorial before I decided to buy the camera... and I am watching it again. Thanks

Wow. Impressive. I just bought a Mark 7 . Did some shots at the park today . I am blown away at the wide range of features in this camera . I'm going to save this and go through it all again. Thanks.

Thank You! My RX100 VII is coming tomorrow, and this helps greatly with the menus, even though I'm already familiar with the Sony A6000.

Thanks, man! Mine is on the way. Looking forward to trying it. I had just bought the M6, but this was announced, so I returned it for the newest toy =)

This is the best quality camera review video I've ever seen. thank you so much

The rx100 v was the very first mirrorless camera that I bought and besides from teaching me how to take photos, I have taken stunning photos that most people would think came out of a DSLR. IMO, the old f1.8-f2.8 is much better suited for the 1" sensor than the new zoom lens.

Thanks for this great tutorial Tony! I am proud to own the Sony DsC-Hx50 (very similar to this model), and you’re tutorial helped to get even more familiar with it. My DSC-HX50 has less features (can’t shoot raw), but comes with a hot shoe and an awesome 24-720 mm zoom!

Thanks for a straightforward trip through the basics. I usually RTFM, but when I got the RX100M7, figured I'd put the battery in and have it charging while I went through the manual. Except putting in the battery led to setting up location / wifi / and the next thing I knew I was on a screen that looked like a jet fighter dashboard, and couldn't figure out how to get out of that screen. And the manual wasn't helping me since I was already in the woods without having dropped enough breadcrumbs. Your video brought me back to understanding basic navigation - something the manual seems to have overlooked in their voluminous pages detailing each function.

Thanks a lot for these tips, Tony. You've done a great review, so helpful for me!

Great Video, the tweeks will certainly help me to get the best out of the camera, Thank You

Tony, watched 22 mins so far. One thing you might want to mention is the flash is able to tilt up thus giving you a bounce. Thanks for all your great videos. God bless to both of you.

This tutorial has been so helpful. Thank you! 😊

Excellent , informative , well done video ! Thank You. I’m ordering your books & subscribing today

Excellent video, very informative and helpful.

Lots of cool info. Sure which Sony would update the firmware on the M3 version of the camera (which is still shipping and still a great camera) to have the time lapse interval shooting function.

WOOOOWW Amazing tutorial, thank you for strengthening my purchase decision.

I’m sticking with the Mark V. The 7 is wonderful, but I love the built in ND and faster lens of the V

@bryanbuff

4 жыл бұрын

Hopefully they make this in a f1.8 with built in ND. If you don’t need the mic jack, longer 4K recording times, and crazy zoom, the V is the way to go IMO.

Okaro X That’s what I meant. The latest version of the V (VA). I don’t think Sony sells the V anymore, it’s just the VA.

Here’s a tip, if you have another camera, lets say a A6500 and the the RX100 VII, change the name of files it stores to RX1, then you know that the photos you took came from the RX. You can also change the A6500 to A65, 3 digits is max for both cameras.

This has been a great lecture

@@HappyHubris aye, I usually just use it for stills, video mostly for self recording ala personal diary. That flip screen is pretty damn useful.

About focusing modes - you needed to mention not only that VI and VII is fast AF-C, but VA too, because it has hardware from VI, just with brighter lens :)

forgot to mention you can turn it on (for viewing images) by pressing the play button, the lens does not come out. if you then press the menu button you go into the menu. also if after pressing the play button to turn it on to preview past images you then want to take photos you just half press the shutter button and the lens comes out.

Thank you for your tutorial. Can this camera operation access with smartphone for take photo and video, while the camera on the monopod to take high angle moment?

thank you for this video. Learnt a lot

great info! do u know how to disable the auto vertical when we record a video?

When setting auto iso, what do you recommend as the highest setting for stills? I have the RX100V.

Thank you for informative tutorial.

Just got my hands on the original rx 100 - mint conditions- this video is very helpful. Thx

Just got the camera and this was extremely useful.THX

Tony, you're the best!

Great job! Excellent!

What a great tutorial, thank you.

Thanks for the super helpful video!

Excellent tutorial ever, for the beginner like me.

Great tutorial! Thank you.

Thank you! Thank you! I'm an enthusiast full-frame Canon user, but rushed out yesterday to get the RX100 VII (it's got 99% of what I want in a compact grab & go travel camera). However, I found that learning the new system was a bit intimidating -- and the lack of tutorials disappointing. I woke up this morning to find your wonderful overview. Relief was instantaneous! Thank you! Thank you! (Now I can pocket carry a high-quality camera into all those U.T. Longhorn sporting events that won't allow you to bring in your big "professional" camera. Yeah!)

Thank you for posting this. I was actually thinking of buying this camera today.

Hi Tony thanks for your details discussion it’s very helpful please let me know can we do Product Photography or 360 view with Sony RX100 VII ?

Another Marvellous Tony What about a short video on setting up the camera. It was touched on, but it is what makes these Sony camera’s work for us. Fun button, my menu, other customisable button, all the buttons are customisable? What about a spreadsheet with all the functions. I’d buy it Thanks again

Merci from France.

This was super helpful! Thanks so much! As a beginner, do you have any tips for shooting in low light/ concert venues? Set the camera in aperture or shutter priority for example?

You guys are the best 😇😇😇

So informative, thank you!

Thanks super helpful!

Great timing! Mine is still shipping!

Lots of great tips! Is there a way to set a Euro spec camera to 24p/30p? Mine has 25p/50p/100p as options, which annoyingly don't match the more common 60p used online... EDIT: Never mind! Seems you can swap between PAL and NTSC formats in the setup menu :) Got it set to NTSC now, much more youtube friendly ;)

Thank you, I wanted to ask you please let me know how to unlock the rocket dial ring of SONY RX100 iii we used for ISO on right and left for Focus and downside for exposure and upper side for screen function when I try to use for shutter speed to move clock or anti clock it is locked. please help me out. regards

Great video Tony. I aspire to buy the Sony RX100 VII but I worry that I will not be pleased with the 1" sensor. I have never used any sensor less that the cropped sensor APS-C. I do use Photoshop to fix photos.

Dear Thank you very much, I have watched the video carefully and it helped me a lot. I just wanted to ask you if there is a possibility to do BKT and use the fire delay. Greetings!

Thanks Tony from Tony. You are the best!

Thanks Tony but Sony asking alot for a poin and shoot camera !!!!. I am hoping Canon improves the autofocus on the G5X mark2 or G7X mark 3 soon .

Thanks for going through every setting it's very helpful. The RX100 VII is the first RX camera I will own i'm just waiting for delivery which is expected on Wednesday. I previously had an A7iii so I have got some knowledge of the menu layout. I'll refer back to this video thanks again. 📷👍

Fantastic! Thank you!

Just started using a VII myself and was trying to figure out how to open the charging/multi port so came to this video. For some reason my one is super difficult to open compared to the other two above/below

Tony, Chelsea - nice video. I have a question. Is it possible to use the rx100 flash to fire an external flash? If I buy a Godox V1 flash, can I use the fill flash of the camera to fire up the external flash! If not is there any other model of flash that will work with this camera as an external? Thank you

you save my day👍🏻

Thank you. Very helpful. 😊

I also had problems with the new app. (Sometimes still do) The old play memories app was great. Anyway, I had the app for the same camera on several android devices. Shut down all devices except for the device ur using.. Retry. It should work. U may have to restart your phone.

Does real-time eye AF works on AF mode? In Sony official video, it seems working. Thanks.

I had a question about the zoom noise that is pretty loud when you have it on video. Is it normal to hear that level of noise when zooming in and out on video? Is there a way to minimize it?

I see a huge size RAW image at 00:24

Good video, thanks. Just a question. In Manual, when I select Flexible spot (to move my focus around) then Shutter Speed is disabled. Apparently, I have not full manual control: Apertures, Shutter Speed, focus, etc. Is it because I don't know how to make work or a camera limitation? Thanks. :)

Hi, Tony. Thank you for the tutorial. One question: You explained how to begin a movie (video) but how do you end it?

@fhm4

4 жыл бұрын

I own an RX100ii, but I stopped using it a good while ago. To record video, press red button. To end recording video, press red button again. While video is recording, if you press shutter button, or button to take photo, it will take a "screen shot" quality photo of video. Rotating the dial that has aperture priority/shutter priority modes... to movie mode, that's supposed to remember your previous settings in movie mode.

I love this camera.

Great video but found one incorrect statement viz that touching the screen to establish a focus point does not work in Auto Mode. It does, in fact, as long as one of the Touch Panel options under the Touch Operation option on screen 3 is turned on.

Brillant thank u

Excellent review!!! Congratullations! One question that I've: What is the resolution of the pictures at 200mm? Can't find this information. Thanks in advance for your time and care.

@exvirginia

The zoom is optical up to 200mm, so the resolution is 20.1Mp at the optimum aspect ratio, which I believe is 3:2. Top resolution is less for 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. Past 200mm, digital zoom kicks in, and the resolution drops.

Having trouble with firmware update 110 if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

What is considered the default metering mode? Tony mentions that he keeps the RX-100 in the default metering mode. Is it "Multi"?

thanks for sharing greetings

I have the money for the A7R4 and the 200-600G. That being said...would the RX100M7 being a good camera to start out in photography, giving me a decent "all-arounder" camera that I can practice landscape, portrait, and wildlife photography?

Is it normal that the "steady shot camera shake warning" icon is always flashing when the lens is extended for stills in Auto?

Any idea how to change the down button of the wheel from "Switch Av/Tv" to exposure compensation?

Thanks!
