Stop Doubting Yourself. The Sony A7R VI Is Incredibly Complex.

If you've been frustrated with your Sony A7R VI, overwhelmed by options, wondering why results aren't matching your investment - here's the truth: This camera is a deeply sophisticated tool and this master class provides the answers you are searching for. 
Write your awesome label here.

The A7R VI can do it all! That power comes with complexity.

Hundreds of settings. AF modes that interact in ways that aren't obvious. Options hidden, buried three menus deep. Sorting through all of this takes time, a lot of guessing and loads of missed opportunities.

I have watched this happen hundreds of times. Someone's struggling, blaming themselves, ready to give up. Then I walk them through the setup that actually matters for their shooting, and suddenly everything clicks. The relief is instant and priceless. 

That's exactly what this course is. 2 hours of me cutting through the complexity, saving you the frustration and showing you exactly what settings to use, when and why. The settings I rely on for complex bird in flight shots. The video setup that works! The AF configuration that makes sense once you see how it all connects. You're not missing something obvious. You just need someone to show you the path through. 

I've spent thousands of hours figuring out what actually matter in the field. I have shot in rain, snow, good light and bad light. I've taken hundreds of thousands of photos and hour upon hour of video footage with this camera. It has the ability to capture amazing moments when set up and used correctly. 

BONUS INCLUDED: I take you out into the field and show you exactly how all of it works with live subjects.
