This is the manual for the new Sony a7r III / mark 3 46mp full frame camera with touch screen.  We think this is a preliminary copy since it does not match the menu of the cameras we played with at Photo Plus Expo.  We still think it&#39;s enough to feed those waiting for their a7r III pre-orders.

Download the a7r iii manual via Dropbox.

So what comes in the box if you bought a body only a7r III?
