Was was wondering: is there a (market) place where experienced photo- or videographers using the Sony A7RV share (or sell) there favorite custom configuration settings (so for photo as well as video)? I know there are several YouTube videos of people sharing their favorite settings (and I watched several good ones from which I learn a lot!), but I would like to test a few settings other people enjoy using and download them (te be installed on my Sony via my memory card and link to custom dial buttons 1,2,3)). Is that something that exists and if yes, any recommendations? For instance, I could imagine photographers have a favorite setting for still life photography, or flowers, or for documentaries on video, or cinematic effects...

Mark Galer shares his custom setups - I would imagine he has done an A7RV by now. He calls them CAMSET files. You might have to join his Patreon for one month to get them.

Thank you! I will check this out. Might exactly be what I am searching for.

FunWithCameras, thank you again: this was the best advice 'ever': learning so much from his website!

    • Welcome to the FORUM. I'm not familiar with that camera, but I use manual-focus lenses on my Sony DSLR all the time without any problem.  The difference between your camera and mine, is that yours has an electronic viewfinder.  You can get a user manual on-line at Sony's website.  That might explain what type of setting you have to make to brighten up the EVF. In any event, others who use that camera will jump in soon with an explanation.  Despite that, you should download the user manual.  It will take about a week to read and digest it all.  The Sony manuals are good at explaining how to set each feature individually.  What takes longer to grasp is how to use the various features in combination.  This gives the camera a lot more power, but can get pretty complicated at times.  You'll find out what I mean. There are undoubtedly some good books about your specific camera that go into more detail than the Sony User Manual. Happy shooting.
    • Sounds like a Live View setting This link will take you to an online searchable manual. Help Guide | Top Have you done a factory reset yet? Always do a factory reset when you buy a used camera, there's no way to tell what oddball settings the old owner put it. You want to start from scratch. Also, check the firmware version and update it if needed.
    • Hello All,    Steve here, long time photographer but brand new to this forum and new to Sony a7Rii. I have worked with everything from 35mm, medium format, large format up to including ULF cameras. I purchased the Sony with the hope that I would be able to use my vintage Nikon lenses in a digital format. I have a Novaflex adapter on the camera which fits nicely and works and obviously needs to be stopped down for exposure. What I am finding is that when I go outside in bright light the viewfinder/screen becomes rather dark even with the lens wide open. Works just fine indoors but "grays out" when outdoors. This camera is new to me and did not come with an instruction manual. Any thoughts? Thanks, Steve
