Note: this file has the Copyright Settings set to Kim Shapley. So you MAY want to change that after uploading to your camera and before proceeding, otherwise I get the credit for your great images!

I have set these camera settings up to operate for ME, in what I find the most efficient and best settings to use (for ME). They may NOT suit you, but it can at least be a good place to start. Change what you want, don't be afraid to experiment and SAVE YOUR OWN CAMSET with how YOU want your camera setup. No one is the same, we all shoot different things and have different priorities, lenses, subjects and ideas.
I have not setup any specific Video settings as yet, as I do little of that.
This is always a work in progress, as I improve my photography, no doubt the settings may change, In which case I may upload a new CAMSET file at a later date. Some of the things I have not yet explored are the Memory Recall (different to the Custom Recall) settings of which there are 4 on the A7R5 (don't know if it's 4 per Setting or 4 overall), Video. I subscribe to the Mark Galer (www.markgaler.com) philosophy of PAL, Portrait, Action, Landscape, which I find a neat and logical way of organising the camera settings, although many of his other settings are substantially different to mine, but they work for me! I just used his as a place to start.


Some Settings:

C1: 	Toggles between Wide Tracking focus Area and Tracking Medium (Great for Birds in Flight (BIF))
C2:	Pops up the ISO Auto Min SS screen
C3:	Recall Custom Hold 2
C4: 	Toggles the Eye Focus recognition Target (All currently selected but you can unselect those you don't use) Bird, Animal/Bird, Animal, insect, Car/Train, Human (See Also Trash)
AEL:	Pops up the Focus Mode Screen (Default is AF-C)
AF-ON:	Back Button Focus/ When displaying a replay image, it will act as a zoom button
Record:	AEL Hold (Auto Exposure Hold)
Trash: BEWARE: If you have a replay image, normal Delete function applies, otherwise see C4.

Down Button on the Display Wheel, opens the Menu (can still press the Menu Button)
Play Button: Plays the previous Image or Video
FN: Displays the Functions Menu
Stability (OSS) is set On

Custom Recall 1:	(P) Aperature Priority, F4, Single Shooting, ISO Auto, Metering Mode Multi, Wide Focus Area
Custom Recall 2:	(A) Metering Mode Multi
Custom Recall 3:	(L) Aperature Priority, F11, Single Shooting, ISO 100, Metering Mode Multi, Single Shot-AF, Zone Focus Area, AF On	

A couple of nifty ideas I have come across and implemented:
	* AF-ON Back Button Focus (been using that now for a while on previous cameras)
	* Toggle between two different focus areas. I have setup Wide Tracking and Tracking M spot. So a press of the C1 button toggles between them, GREAT for BIF & Static/slow moving birds.
	* Zebra Stripes Auto. Virtually eliminates Zebra Stripes and ensures that almost all the images are correctly exposed (and not overexposed), by autohandling the exposure dial. Almost eliminates the over 		  exposure (occasional use now). You images will probably appear darker, which is what they would be if you are tweaking the Exposure Compensation Dial. I was always forgetting to reset this!


If you have any queries about the settings, please feel free to reach out.
