HIDDEN FEATURES?! Sony a7S III 3.0 Firmware Update Overview

It's here! Sony a7S III owners have long-awaited crucial updates to their cameras, including features such as Breathing Compensation found on similar Sony models like the a7 IV, a7R V, and more. However, many have also wanted to see features additionally granted to cinema cameras like the FX3 and FX30, like DCI 4K and true 24p. But beyond this, are there extra hidden features, quirks or any bugs present in this firmware update that people - Sony or otherwise - aren't talking about? And did Sony ultimately deliver with this first major firmware update in years?

In this video, I'll go into a detailed overview of the latest version 3.00 firmware update for the a7S III. I'll explain the basics around the installation process, and what was required of me in installing the update from my Apple MacBook Pro. Below, I'll also include a link to my updated a7S III video and photo settings file from my website, where you can download my settings and save hours re-setting up all of your custom settings, which will be required for those installing the update.

Following this, I'll then explore all of the crucial features most people would consider downloading the update for. However, I'll also go much further in-depth, describing additional hidden features, quirks and any other observations I've noticed in the process of using it. Last, I'll describe my take on what features are still missing that would be good to see in future updates, and offer my final thoughts on the firmware upgrade overall.

All in all, if you own an a7S III, and you haven't kept up with firmware updates in the past, now is definitely the time to upgrade. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.
