Camera Settings Tool Overview
When a supported camera is connected, the Camera Settings Tool allows you to make a number of adjustments to the camera settings. The range of settings available is dependent on the support for the camera model from the manufacturer. Capture One offers the most comprehensive control over the Phase One XF and IQ3/4 series digital backs, however, a wide range of settings can be accessed on the latest pro-oriented cameras from other manufacturers.

Adjusting Camera Settings
In the Camera Settings Tool, select the desired AE Mode from the fly-out menu.
In this example, the Manual exposure mode was chosen, which means it is possible to adjust the Shutter Speed, Aperture and EV adj. Click the -/+ minus buttons to make adjustments. A fly-out menu is offered as an option for Aperture, EV adj., and ISO, but compatibility is dependent on the camera model.
The Camera Settings tool offers additional functionality depending on the camera model. Click on the disclosure triangles to reveal more settings and then click on the fly-out menus to make selections.
Features
Save Destination
Introduced in Capture One 16.4.0, Save Destination allows you to send your RAW files to the computer and to your SD cards, or only send JPEGs to the computer for a faster experience. The most commonly used combinations are available in the Camera Tool selector, often a subset of what the camera can do. If you wish for something custom, you will be able to set it in the Camera Settings Tool.
Save Destination works with Canon, Nikon and Sony camera models.
Note that the options vary from camera to camera. For instance, during testing with Sony cameras, we found that the preset JPEG to Capture One / RAW to Card will only bring in a small 2MB JPEG to Capture One. If you want to have the full resolution JPEG in Capture One, you need to shoot both RAW and JPEG to the Card. This is just an example: what works in a certain way on one camera might work differently on another camera. Here's how you can set up Sony to capture full-resolution JPEG in Capture One and RAW + JPEG to the Card:

Hi Alessandro,
Thank you for your comment.
Sony a7 III is supported in Capture One starting from version 10.2.1, please make sure that you have this version or a newer one.
Also, update the camera firmware to the latest one.

Hi Lily,
is there a chance for a default setup to save pictures to Capture One and the CFe Card simuntaniously?
Otherwise I'd have to remember changing it every time I start C1 and the chance to forget is very high ;-)
Thanks for your help.

How can I save these settings, so they apply per default every time I start up a new Capture One project?
There used to be a dropdown for the ISO, shutter speed and aperture... what happened to that? The new interface sucks. Nobody wants to click + or - a bunch of times.
I'm shooting wirelessly to C1 from a Canon R5 and R6II so that client can review images during shoot from iPads via Live. This setup only works if you transfer the smallest size .jpgs and leave the Raw files on the card. After some poking around I've seen you can do this if you, 1.) shoot RAW+jpeg, 2.)"exclude RAW files" under the excluded file type and 3.) Save to C1 and card. In that setup, it works pretty well though, however there is (what I see) a major issue. If, during the heat of a busy shoot, reconnect your camera and while changing to the above settings, leave "Save to" as Capture One (which is the default) and then exclude RAW files (which isn't the default), then your RAW files will be gone forever and neither saved on your card or on your computer. You'll have only small, preview JPGs and all of your work will be for nothing. So while I applaud you including this feature, by structuring it as exclude Raw vs. include only jpg, you've effectively created a self-destruct button. Why? Why? Why would you do this?
