[@dboucher26]

The fact that he’s contributing 2 hours of tutoring deserves a like.

[@jre617]

The fact that Sony's UI is such a complex mess deserves a down vote. He should start by suggesting that there are simpler cameras to operate.

[@DivineAtheistWannabe]

I wanted 2 and a half hours. Instant dislike

[@nixonelian8895]

i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can give me.

[@jamesmajor5978]

@Nixon Elian Instablaster :)

[@nixonelian8895]

@James Major I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@newjackvideo]

Dude, you are a prince. As an adult who finally has the time and money to pursue a lifelong interest in photography, this is exactly the type of video that has value to me. Organized, logical, and also slow and thoughtful for someone who is also learning basic photography principals at the same time as learning a complex piece of kit- basic principals that are often taken for granted in other youtube camera tutorial videos for specific cameras- so this is a real breakthrough video for me. You are a true teacher, thanks man!

[@OneLifeTwoLive]

newjackvideo am exactly in same position as yourself Thank you

[@JamieTurner]

Michael, I'm a professional speaker and educator and I can say without reservation that you have a gift for teaching. You move quickly through topics, you're exceedingly clear, and you know how to explain things in a way that works for both a beginner and an expert. Bravo. Keep up the good work!

[@MMaven]

Jamie Turner thank you Jamie!

[@pranaypathak101]

I was almost halfway through then I realized that I don't even own a camera, but love Michael's content and his way of explaining.

[@MMaven]

Thank you Pranay!

[@PeresD]

Lol.

[@fritsscholtenhzn6268]

Me also!

[@nirmalkumarr2235]

Thank god! I read your comment in the start of video and realised that I too don't have one..

[@annewatman677]

This is fantastic!!! I’ve had Nikons for years. I bought an early Sony mirrorless, and got frustrated because it was so hard to figure out, and happily went back to Nikon. Then I went to a full frame Nikon, and it really was a big, heavy camera. Not much fun to carry anywhere, and I found myself using it less and less. I thought I’d just use my cellphone, but it’s not the same as a DSLR camera. The a6400 has now been around for about 5 years, and I just bought one. I love the size and the weight! However, I hardly knew where to start, and I couldn’t find any good directions online until I came across your video. Thank you so much!!!

[@parva777]

And al along the 2h teaching not a single EEEE or Humm or AAA... you are a gifted teacher and you rock !

[@amateurvisser]

Awesome. Learned more in 45 minutes than in watching 45 days of KZbin on the subject. An educational gem. Thanks for putting in all the work.

[@MMaven]

My sincere pleasure! When you are ready for the full course, let me know!

[@kraavok]

Thank you so much for this. It really took me from complete amateur, guessing my way through the menus and features, to actually feeling I understand my camera. You rock! :)

[@aubreyj.tennant1123]

Same here Pranay! I’ve been looking at the A6400 and I’m a newb. Wondering if I was in over my head but this instruction is insightful, informative and inspirational! Great job MTM! You’re obviously still connected to where you started back in the day. Sony should be shadowing you! Thanks so much for your coaching...

[@joeconstantino2130]

A6400 just came in a week ago, thanks for this!

[@gustavofarias5227]

Thanks a lot! You speak in a very nice way that a foreigner can understand well! Greetings from 🇧🇷

[@ValentinaColomba69]

I have just bought my a6400 and was intimidated from all of the things that make this camera so “complete”. Now thanks to this very well explained tutorial I am all set to start playing with my new purchase. Thank you so, Valentina from Italy

[@sanghuloom6943]

I watched this even before buying the sony a6400! Helps a lot specially if you are used to shooting with canon. Thanks Michael!

[@kingdomdrummer]

Man i have to say that i appreciate this video. I've been doing photos for about 2 years and had not received such indebt information on a camera and the functions.watching this has given my wife a real detailed look into how to work our equipment properly. thanks so much. so awesome

[@pamelago8366]

Great tutorial! everything I needed to know

[@Thisthat1234]

It’s shocking how many times I’ve rewatched parts of this video

[@chinux]

Yup!

[@kolapyellow7631]

It wont be if you r a beginner like me, i know i will be returning to this tutorial for a long while untill i know enough to take better pictures. Thanks God we have this free tutorial. I cant afford a real class. So KZbin is my go to class.

[@reginaldworthington7558]

Simply a great job on this Michael. Best insight into the A-6400 I’ve come across on YT and I’ve watched them all. Thank you.

[@tontoindian]

Thank you Michael! Your tutorial is priceless. I just bought a 6400 after a year of research. I'm using your lessons to understand the camera. You have presented it all so well. This is a Master Class. You deserve a Gold Medal.🥇🥇🥇

[@mariusbjonness]

This tutorial is outstanding, the best starting point for anyone who wants to decipher the many mysteries of the Sony a6400. Thank you for taking the effort to make this tutorial.

[@jonasmarecky4187]

just bought a 6400, after having a bridge CANNON. great video. God bless... many thanks. saved me huge amount of time of troubling....

[@ronaldsetiawan1708]

Very useful tutorial, and I'm waiting for my A6400 to come, which should be very soon now.. Once my camera come, I'll watch this video again for sure.

[@PiyushChhawsaria]

Infinite love for this dedication. I bought a new cam today and couldn't find a single precise tutorial to get me started This is just lovely. I would surely take your course too soon.

[@tizisart]

I just got my A6400 today and this helped me a LOT getting used to the features and system of the camera! Thank you so much, you did a great job, since I understood everything :))

[@AmirGuitarlover]

This video is incredibly helpful, you are a fantastic teacher Michael.

[@ZAJANatural]

Thank you. Just got mine yesterday and this has really been helpful.

[@sethsinclair3157]

Great video...just bought my camera for school and this is making things much easier!!!

[@dennispeaks]

I just got my a6400 and this helps so much, thanks Michael, you break it down so even I can understand. :)

[@thomasottvideos]

Wow, Michael, I think my brain exploded (but in a good way). Thank you, sir, for taking the time to share your advanced knowledge in a cogent manner. Kind regards, T. Phoenix, AZ USA

[@josephbendzinski5797]

I just got this camera - this video was outstanding - sure as hell taught me a lot. some say it was long. But when u are a neophyte it was great. Thumbs up for the Maven

[@kolapyellow7631]

Same shoes here.

[@capdesuro]

What a gift Michael, thank you so much. Good job.

[@eucryan]

Thanks for mentioning the attachment that can move the mic over and not block the screen!

[@teresamarie3718]

Tuned in as a second hand a6000 owner thinking much of the functionality will be the same. It is. This is excellent. Thank you 👍🙏

[@ajay11122]

Awesome .. explained in detailed and a well organized manner. I have Sony a 6500 from last 6 months and this video helped me a lot ..Thank you very much Mike.. I would recommend this tutorial to all new Sony alpha users.

[@sh8736]

Great video thanks for posting. Even as a Sony A9 user I learned about the A6400 features :)

[@mousasall1267]

Best vidéo teacher ever

[@mikekohls4695]

Finally I understand my camera! Thank you very much for taking the time to put together this video. The EV explanation alone is gold.

[@parva777]

Man this is the most useful and well made tutorial I have seen on the a6400 camera, the one I just purchase. And all together it is so useful for starter photographer like me. Congratulation and thank you for your excellent job. Really thank you. My a6400 will have a new friend, me, and all this is because of you !

[@jiaqi6605]

So glad to see this imformative video before I decide to buy sony a6400. Everybody keeps saying that sony's menu is quite confused, horrible and not friendly to users, but after watching this video, everything is clear for me! Thank you so much.

[@CO8848_2]

Thank you very much, this is very very helpful.

[@sazzadshah4002]

The best tutorial I have ever seen. Watching from Bangladesh. Thanx a lot, sir.

Can't believe I finished the 2 hour training tutorial, It's quite informative and to be honest I need to get back on the course to review as my brain started to explode. hehe. Thank you for this awesome video.

[@davidtokar7456]

Awesome Tutorial as a guy who lives buy the red/green method ( throw out instructions immediately ) this was great. Pace was great content was plentiful. Thank you for your time.

[@Roman-zc7kd]

thanks Michael, very professional! Used your guide as my basic after purchasing this camera.

[@RJUnleashedVideos]

This is what I have been searching for! Great Vlog and lesson.

[@glenzphotoz3878]

This is so helpful i just got this camera!!!!! Thank you Mike

[@fernandoatorre]

The greatest reviewer in youtube! One thing to add. The a6100 has less settings in the last tab. It has a page less of options.

[@limchuxu3785]

This guy deserves an award.. thank you so much :)

[@dronermx4317]

Michael, your video is a great help for those who have an a6400, thanks for your time and effort friend.

[@ajaypatidar]

Thank you so much for this tutorial video. This is really useful and helpful. It shows how much effort you have put to shoot this. And specifically you have given timestamp also to jump to individual topics. Thanks a lot

[@DivineAtheistWannabe]

1:05:00 "I don't know how it's possible for a beginner to know all this stuff" You explain it really well. I think after this, it's a matter of knowing when to apply what. But your video is incredibly helpful. Thanks man

[@physics_pratibha]

I am a beginner and your tutorial is the best one I have seen till date.thanks a lot sir.

Woww this tutorial is awesome!!! I bought this camera recently and I had no idea how it works so everything I was doing with it was just mediocre. I've learned a lot here!

[@analou07]

Very nice tutoring thats a long time to look for this

[@markrobinson891]

Just sold my a6000 and bought the 6400. Some reviews indicated menu was simplified...not! This tutorial is just what the doctor ordered. I loved my 6000, I’ll get there with this one now too.

[@chicken.productions]

Great video! Please note that the Focus point does not change during on the touch screen if it set on WIDE AREA (you get a weird "Spot Focus" message). It has to be set on "Flexible Spot". Also you should add the 1:53:33 Func. of Touch Operation which I was trying to find. Well done.

[@CoVerseAU]

Phenomenal. It is a must-watch before even opening the box. Brilliant work, thank you!

[@klutchenca1]
