Get SHARP Manual Focus With These 3 Tricks || Sony Alpha (a7S III, a7 III)

What tricks can you use to get sharp manual focus shots using your Sony mirrorless camera? More importantly, what techniques will allow you to consistently get these shots, regardless of different shooting environments, lighting conditions, etc.?

In this tutorial, I'll go through what have become three of my most important go-to tricks and techniques for nailing manual focus shots in my Sony Alpha cameras. In addition to outlining these tricks, I will also demonstrate how to set them up on your Sony camera, regardless of the make/model and generation of camera you're shooting with. Specifically, showing how to set this up in Sony cameras utilizing their newer menu system like my a7S III (and a1, FX3, a7 IV), and in cameras with Sony's older menus like my a7 III (and a7R III and IV, a7C, a9 and a9 II, etc.). I'll also demonstrate how I set up two of these functions to use as a custom button within my cameras for quicker/easier access.
