Hi folks.

Just received my A7SIII, and I'm setting up my custom settings.

This is probably such a newbie mistake, but I can't figure out how to turn off S&Q mode in my 'custom shooting mode' - not S&Q mode on the dial, my custom shooting mode 2.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm really scratching my head on this one.

Thanks!

Shawn

how do yo mean? I though S&Q works only when main dial is set to S&Q????

Exactly my thoughts. But, in custom mode 2 on the dial, it actually said S&Q on the screen, and I couldn't toggle it off, since there is no method that I could find to enable or disable it, since it's ONLY supposed to be on when on the dedicated S&Q mode on the dial.

So, I initialized the camera to reset it to factory specs, and everything now seems fine.

I think the original problem was that I downloaded Philip Bloom's custom camera setup file and loaded his settings in my camera. I have a feeling that either his settings are from a pre-production camera, or perhaps the settings are different between European models and North American models. Anyway, I believe his settings were incompatible with my camera and caused the problem.

In any event, things are fine now and I'll be setting my own custom modes myself. All the best!

This just happened to me too.  I finally figured it out.  I was playing around with s&q mode, and then saved the settings to mem slot 1 and 2.  So it looks like you can save s&q settings to custom slots.  Once the custom slot is set up for s&q, I can't find a way to simply turn that off.  I fixed it by saving movie mode settings into the custom memory slot.  Then I had to customize things again...

      JPEG options?

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
