  • Cameras are computers

    The α range of cameras offer a HUGE range of options. Of course you can use as many or as few of them as you like - but knowing where the options are, and what they do, empowers you to get the most from your equipment.

  • Understand the Options

    Camera manuals do a good job of explaining the difference between what different setting's technically - this guide takes it a step further by explaining how, when and why you might want to use different options.

  • Create User Profiles

    If you like to photograph a variety of different things, you can set up your camera with preset profiles for each one. Landscape, portrait, action, video. Simply set up each profile, and you're away.

Your Sony Guide is great!!!! So thorough - I love it!!

Your master guide individually - and brilliantly - covers all the different Sony cameras, making the small investment in your publication is a no-brainer.

It’s a truly wonderful and comprehensive guide, and so logically and intuitively presented. Feels like one-on-one coaching.

Since the guide’s arrival a few days ago, I went from being intimidated by the a9iii to being excited and exuberant about taking it out into the world. Thanks for doing this…. truly awesome work, mate - and worth every penny!

Thank you

T. Rob Brown

Thank you for your knowledge and experience.

Always a pleasure to watch Matts videos, so well thought out, presented and articulated, leaving the viewer engaged , entertained and realise that this is all coming from a true industry professional, Thanks Matt !!

Excellent Investment!

Glen Bardot

Hi Matt, I just completed your "Nikon Mirrorless Expert Setup Guide V2.1" tutorial for the Z9, and it was well worth the investment of both time & $$$.

I found your "deep dive" into the menu and customization options particularly helpful and informative. It's amazing how quickly menu and setup information can be forgotten when not used & accessed on a regular basis. Obviously, that information is second nature to you at this point.

I can now use my Z9 with full confidence

John Roche

“Having invested in the new Nikon Z9 I was anxious to understand and learn all the features as soon as possible. I purchased Matt’s Nikon Mirrorless Expert guide having read it was updated to cover the new Z9. I have found it really helpful not only in understanding the differences from my Z7 but also in helping me understand some general Z series items that frankly would have helped me when I had the Z7. The videos are well made and contain useful practical examples as well as good technical explanations. The Suggested customs settings are very helpful and have made shooting different subjects much more efficient. Every single menu item is clearly explained and I found the sections very helpful in allowing me to take each section separately over a period of a few days. The cost is a very small price to pay given the speed at which I can now use my Z9 with full confidence.”

Detailed Presetation

Ronald Pollard

Your Professionalism is extremely appreciated Matt. Your observations are also reasonable and rational. Thank you for this very detailed Presentation Bro!!

Bruce Ashmore

Thanks for another comprehensive easy to understand guide.

I downloaded the Z Mirrorless Camera Guide because I preordered a Z 9 through your link to B&H Photo and wanted to get a head start on understanding all the menus and functions.

I even learned some things that apply to my Nikon DSLR that I hadn’t understood fully before.

Now if only I could get the camera and start using it.

Duane Smith

I just finished the Nikon Set Up guide.

Fantastic.

What a great way to get up to speed with the Nikon mirrorless. I am new to that and just getting back into photography so has increased my knowledge and confidence in the tools dramatically.
