Hi Mark, many thanks for the two blogs on A7RIII settings for action and landscape. They’ve proven very useful to me. One question though, I set Memory 1 to your landscape settings and Memory 2 to Action. I want to Back-Focus on Landscape but Focus on the Shutter Button for Action. On my A7RIII the setting for AF w/shutter is not saved in the Memory Settings. Why not ? I then tried to assign it to a button but could not find it as an option. Can you recommend the quickest method for quickly turning this setting On and Off. I’d love to assign it to a button if possible or, better still, save it in Memory 1/2/3. Best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve
You can see the list of items that can be stored in a memory by selecting one of the 3 memory recalls on the shooting mode dial and then cycling down below the initial screen. Unfortunately AF w/ shutter cannot currently be registered. The best solution is to Add it to your favourites menu so it is quick to access.

I am wondering about shooting in aperture mode for action. Will this enable me to have a fast enough shutter to freeze action when I am sitting on the baseline of a basketball court.
Thanks,
Alec
In the movie I am maintaining a fast shutter speed by using the ISO Auto Min SS setting in conjunction with Auto ISO
