Thanks for the set up tutorial! Just picked mine up 3 days ago and was wondering how to recall memories like that. Helped a lot!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Great video, still figuring this camera out! Despite having shot films with it already, it's always nice to know additional/ hidden features. 😊

[@mightybvuwosdkstudios1454]

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Great information video Sid! Thanks!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks for watching!!

[@ChrisMcKiernan]

Exactly what I was looking for thanks :)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Oh good!! Glad this was helpful!!

[@otterspoolacademy]

Brilliant - might need to watch this a few times, and make some notes for the field - but that was spot on! Best thing is not only is my camera now set up - but I know how to set the modes I like (ie 4k @ 24f and HD at 120f) and swap between them in 2 secs = thanks ;-)

[@patrickluisier3198]

Hi Sidney. Thanks for the video. One question here regarding the memory settings: you put the slow-no settings in memory2 recall... but to film in slow-motion you should turn the wheel to the S&Q position. And when I do that, the slow-no settings come in automatically... so why put this in memory recall? Or did I miss something here ? Thanks

[@MalayalamTechOfficial]

oh man, Thanks a lot

[@user-ll4xq6uo7x]

Thanks, i looked at many videos and no one showed how to set the audio clearly but you :)

[@DrJaanLearningPoint]

nice job dear

+Gary Nelson Glad this was helpful!!

[@adhdfitgirl]

Thanks for this video 🙏🏽 what picture size do you use when shooting for instagram? I feel like I lose quality when I make the pictures smaller

[@saadaljabri3766]

Thank you for the video, what’s the gamma for? Do I need to use it with RAW or with JPEG too?

[@pabloescobar7139]

awesome video bro

[@andrewleuterio5501]

thanks Man , you explained it very well and simple to understand , newly subs here , keep posting👍💯

[@137joetv3]

Great video it help me I was so stress 😂💯

[@biogons14]

Good setup video. I don´t need the 4k video, but the FHD 1080p has poor sharpness compared with my Lumix TZ70 compact camera; you can tell me that recording in 4k I can downscale it to 1080p, but you lose 60p and 120p, waste more memory and battery, big file size and edition time, and have a lot more "rolling-shutter" problem. The A6400 has lost also the mp4 option. Any recommendations for FHD recording?

[@jg274]

good stuff, thank you!

[@Dimebag1881]

I'm the subscriber number 100001 😎

[@mocharskifilms]

[@john-marcedwards9221]

Get my new a6400 in Wednesday. Before i even take the lens cap off and testing it out... I’ll be mimicking these settings!!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

YESSSS!!! Excited for you!

[@ashfilms2273]

I still haven't got my a6400 yet but i'm already practicing it on my tiny brainnnn.

[@jonathancomer1185]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad this video was helpful Jonathan!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I know this is a personal preference, but what’s a good sling or grip to use with the 6400?

[@DEXTVHD]

Ham Radio Crash Course peak design slide light

[@gericsonmarcelo8105]

What top dial should choose when livestreaming using this cam ? Im using sigma f 1.4 lens and good lightning can u suggest best possible setting and how can i change the frame rate thru 30 fps because its always set to 60 fps when im using camlink4k

[@gonzalogabrieldiez4552]

Hi there! This was great! I did all, the only problem I got was the color, I follow your advice, but I'm a newie to color correcting and grading, so guess what, after filming some videos, they looked terrible, I just wanted to know if you have a video on how to expose and the correct on premiere, so it looks awesome like yours. I saw your last video and I was amuzed and all what you can do with that

[@mr_budo]

Amazing

[@ameen6768]

Thx man!! ❤❤❤

Amazing thanks

[@duniagiana]

Yup! Definitely useful! Thank you!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Woooo! Glad this was helpful!

[@DrWasim]

A question regarding the audio settings using the Røde videomic pro plus. When you set the recording level to 5-7, what is the distance between the mic and the subject?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Great question! Audio is up to 2ft, so really good for blogging or sit down interviews. Hope this helps!

[@bchimitte]

Thank you this tutorial!!!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad this was helpful!!

[@matthewcheung5136]

I didn't quite follow along with the saved photography settings in manual mode. How do you set memory recall for them?

[@mercurial0ne]

Hey Sidney! Just got the a6400 for vlogging but I would love to get into 'real' photography. I'm thinking of starting with nature since I hike a lot. Do you happen to have a course or a suggestion for one that you trust? Thanks in advance!

[@eastofhoney]

Thank you!

[@E9ONE1]

aloha~I m new w/a6400 my video came out foggie grey on sunny day outdoor not sure why...I am sure due to incorrect setting...also any recommendations on fast quick travel chargers? any idea/suggestion? thanks🤙👊

[@mondayjhou7175]

Hi, thank you for the tutorial! May I ask what type and model is your screen protector?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I believe it's by Afunta

[@ngenomsquad5362]

When i want to setting like that, i forgot if i don't have the camera yet 😳😳

[@akirathearchibald7958]

Is that the kit lens you are using?

[@ashokkumark9895]

Finally my settings settled within 10min. Thank u so much.

[@wiiz2780able]

I can't seem to get my zoom option to work. It keep saying invalid with this lens, please help, I use your settings as well, t y in advance, oh I'm using the kit lens

[@nilanshgaur]

Picked up the a6400 yesterday. This Video was super helpful. Can you make a video maybe, for someone who is switching to the Sony ecosystem from Canon for the first time. Thanks.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I’m so glad this was helpful!!

[@UspaceEntertainment]

I am getting A6400 and I am getting16-50mm and 55-210mm Lenses with this. Are these good for Static Interviews on green screen ?

[@webstermickey69]

So do you really really loved the camera, I have ordered one but it is not available until now and it has been a month now, cannot really wait.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yeah it's great!

[@MikesManCave]

How much rattling do you get from those neck strap mounts? Makes the camera almost useless for video. Great set up guide by the way.

[@saadaljabri3766]

So, what did I understand from you is that when we want to toggle between M1 and M2, I have to choose that from MR and I keep the wheel to it. Then I press record. Because each time when I switch the wheel back to video it discards the chosen memory. is my understand right?

[@milanlimbu1163]

Thank You sir

[@john4t4nst3v3]

Should we activate wind noise reduction and the steady shot ? I saw you skipped it

[@swaha222]

Thaank you. I've recently moved from Nikon to Sony. And God I was struggling, this removed the initial blockade for me 🤝

[@manatabisasaki6957]

thank youu

[@patrickseminario6284]

I watch a shit load of videos like this, I rarely comment. Good work here, thank you!

[@JessicaGarcia-hg8ks]

Could you help me out here, please? I'm still kind of new to photography. My ISO in every camera setting is an automatic minimum of 500. I can't get any lower and my daytime shots suffer, especially out in AZ. The gamma assist is off and changing it doesn't seem to make a difference. My minimum/range ISO is set to 100. I have the 18-135mm lens that comes standard with the camera. What could it be? TIA

[@rhovna88]

This video was Very helpfull, let me see which other video you have regarding the setting on this camera, because I just bought it and dont know how to set it up😭😭

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I’m so glad this was helpful!

[@riffa1on1]

I just purchased it too and have no idea how to set it up. I just used his settings.

[@tinasch9653]

Wow....👍👍👍👍👍🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@Stavgu]

Hey, why do you recommande to low down the audio rec level ?

[@EPICBLASIAN1]

Thanks just got this camera 3 days ago. Totally lost on how to even zoom in with this thing...lol..😋 Trying to get the best settings for my Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens, but my Fovitec softbox lights seem to bright...😅 Man this is confusing..🤣😂

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I’m so glad this was helpful!

[@BigBanglyAuckland]

Thank you!! Jeez, the number of videos I watched before finding this one. Such a time saver

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Oh great! Glad this was helpful!

[@noobahata]

One Thing I will recomend since its in the 2nd menu is changing your color space from srgb to adobergb you get more colors(srgb is measured to be around 69.4% color accuracy where as adobe rgb is around 90.1% accuracy on adobergb and can always reduce them to srgb in photoshop. most of the time if you images live online i would reccomend you to shoot in adobe rgb and convert the final image to srgb

[@wanderbucket]

hey im switching to Sony should I get the new a6100 or a6400?

[@DEXTVHD]

friggin love you man, this made setting up my new a6400 a breeze. Any recommendations for run and gun vlog settings?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Oh good! Glad this was helpful!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Oh good! Glad this was helpful! As for vlogs, it’s just a matter of preference

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

Great video! What are the little red things on the camera strap mounts?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Peak Design anchors!

[@LAIBAK187]

Great

[@adejavufilm9740]

Dope video! Thinking about getting this camera setup.. wats your honest opinion on this set up for newbies such as myself

[@SidneyDiongzon]

It’s great!

[@addy5329]

My mum recently bought this camera for video shooting purposes, I was wondering how she would turn off grid lines for movies. In the settings it says the grid lines are off

[@AliCemEge]

Dear Sidney; My A6400 started to double shutter sound after new settings when taking pictures. I have no clue what or how it became this mode? I made your settings but nothing else. What is double shutter sound and how can I make it one again?

[@bangagustv]

Nice bos big like

Where did you get that desk ?
