Sony a7 V Experience — 1on1 Hands-On Shooting Session

Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Jay Evans for an exclusive one-on-one Sony a7 V shooting session, designed for photographers who want real, uninterrupted time with Sony’s newest Alpha camera and a curated selection of Sony lenses.

This private experience is split into four bookable 2.5-hour sessions, each tailored to the participant. We’ll begin in a relaxed café setting to explore the Sony A7 V in detail — setup, menus, autofocus, and customisation — before heading to a nearby park to put the camera through its paces photographing birds, people, movement, and everyday scenes.

This is not a class or group event. It’s focused, practical, and built around hands-on shooting, real-world scenarios, and helping you understand how the A7 V fits into your photography.

• 📷 Dedicated 1:1 time with the Sony a7 V
• 🔍 Deep dive into real-world a7 V performance
• 🧠 Learn by shooting, not sitting in a room
