Get My Settings

Looking to configure your Sony Alpha camera for fast photo and video shooting?  For run and gun photographers and filmmakers like myself, I've included a download link to my personal settings that you can install in your cameras, completely free of charge.  Installation instructions are below, and feel free to watch my full breakdown of configuring my a7R V for photo and video, and configuring my a7 IV for video on YouTube for more details.

Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure you've created a separate settings file of your own if you have settings you wish to keep/reference later (Setup > Reset/Save Settings > Save/Load Settings > Save).​

  2. Using a new memory card, format your card in the camera (Shooting > Media > Format) to ensure it has the necessary folder structure in place for settings files.

  3. Click one of the download buttons above, and unzip the folder contents within the downloaded archive.

  4. Copy the extracted "SETTING" folder within PRIVATE > SONY onto your memory card.

    1. For the a7R V, the final folder structure on the card should be: PRIVATE > SONY > SETTING > 7RM5 > CAMSET > ASA7R5ST.DAT

    2. For the a7 IV, the final folder structure on the card should be: PRIVATE > SONY > SETTING > 7M4 > CAMSET > ASA74SET.DAT

    3. For the a7S III, the final folder structure on the card should be: PRIVATE > SONY > SETTING > 7SM3 > CAMSET > ASA7S3ST.DAT

  5. Insert the memory card into the camera, and load the custom settings (Setup > Reset/Save Settings > Save/Load Settings > Load).
