My Favorite Picture Profile For The Sony A7S III, FX3, A1, & FX6 (MattFlat 2.0)

Color Presets For My Favorite Picture Profile

Which picture profile should you choose when shooting with Sony’s latest cameras like the a7S III, FX3, A1, etc? After extensive testing and research, I have a new favorite picture profile that works perfectly with these new cameras.

But what if you’re using a mix of new and old Sony cameras? I have a picture profile recommendation for filmmakers using an a7 III, a6600, a6500, a6400 etc. as well! These two picture profiles should result in your getting beautiful footage with high dynamic range.

PICTURE PROFILE SETTINGS FOR A MIX OF NEW (A7S III ETC.) & OLD SONY CAMERAS (A7III ETC.)
Select PP8 in the Picture Profile Menu
Switch Gamma from SLOG3 to CINE4
Film .3 to .7 stops overexposed

I hope these picture profiles help you film incredible footage with your Sony cameras!

My Wedding Film Academy Podcast Interview

The popularity of free educational material for wedding filmmakers has grown significantly over the past year. Now there is not only Wedding Film School, but Wedding Film University, and Wedding Film Academy (Google them, they all exist! haha). I’ve also been known to make some free wedding filmmaker training too.

Two weeks ago, Jordan Bunch from the Wedding Film Academy Podcast got in touch with me about recording an episode of his podcast all about storytelling in wedding films. Of course I said yes, and in our hour-long discussion, we went deep on how I engage with couples and get the best stories from them. I also may have professed my new love for my Nintendo Switch in there too. 

This means that I’ve now been on both a Podcast for Wedding Film School AND Wedding Film Academy. I’m hoping for more in the future! Someone really needs to start a Wedding Film Community College.
