Personalised guidance to get the most out of your Sony A7RM5 camera

About the event

Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Luke Tscharke for a personalised 1:1 online workshop designed to help you get the most out of your Sony Alpha 7R V. Whether you're brand new to photography or looking to sharpen your skills, this session is fully tailored to your needs and goals.

I've been using the Alpha 7R V since day one, literally. I had one of the first units to land in Australia and took it straight to Antarctica for four weeks of field-testing in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. Since then, it’s been my main workhorse, my go-to body, and hands down my favourite camera ever. From the rugged terrain of Tasmania to freezing sub-zero expeditions, the A7R V has never let me down, and I know it inside and out. I’ve relied on it as a full-time professional landscape photographer to create everything from fine art prints and client work to running workshops in wild places. If you want to truly unlock what this camera can do, I’m confident I can help guide you through it in a practical, down-to-earth way.

This 90-minute session runs via Zoom and includes a recorded copy of the session for your personal use, along with detailed post-session notes to reinforce your learning. We’ll focus on everything from setup and autofocus to advanced shooting techniques, depending on your interest and experience level.

What's Included

  • 90-minute private workshop via Zoom
  • Tailored instruction based on your experience and goals
  • Session recording provided to review later
  • Detailed post-session summary and suggested next steps

Who This Is For

  • New Sony Alpha 7R V owners looking for hands-on guidance
  • Photographers transitioning from other systems
  • Anyone wanting to fast-track their understanding of the A7R V’s features
  • Those who prefer 1:1 learning to generic tutorials

How It Works

Once you book, you’ll receive a pre-session form to help us hit the ground running. On the day, we’ll meet via Zoom for a relaxed but focused session where we’ll work through your goals, camera functions, and any questions you have. Afterward, I’ll send you a recording of the session and detailed notes for ongoing learning.
