As a Canon fan girl I have zero need for a video like this but I'm going to watch it all the way through as I'm addicted to photography videos no matter what they are haha

[@ricky4243]

Not gonna lie, I’m a Sony guy and I watched a ton of Canon videos for the same reason

[@rubyredphoto]

@@ricky4243 we have an addiction 😂

[@joshuathomas4934]

Canons are sweeeeet. I like Sony for the customization of the menus and buttons. I love the video capabilities and just the over all build. This camera feels amazing in the hands. It feels so expensive😂

[@shotbymarlozan]

¿Sony a6400 or Canon R50?🤔

[@rubyredphoto]

@@shotbymarlozan I know nothing about the R50 not looked in to it since having the R6

[@iron.danial]

thanks bro just got my first a6400 yesterday and this really help!

[@Packiechu]

Man the timing of the video! I finally just got my A6400 about two weeks ago and I’m eager to learn everything I can. Who better to learn from than the dude that inspired my decision to get it! Cheers man.

[@Invintius]

do you like it so far? any cons?

[@shreyjani668]

battery is the only con, get a loads of extra batteries or get a battery grip@@Invintius

[@user-xs4kv3rb3y]

I've had this camera for almost 2 years now and i've never found a more easy and helpful guide before. This camera may look very little but is a pure beast, i've never been happier with a camera before and i still use it so much to this day! Awesome video dude :)

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy that's great, glad it was helpful! ⚡

[@damianwojcikiewicz3951]

It's practical video. It helps beginners how to set their cameras. Good start!

Curtis you the man - everything I need to get started, thank you brother! Saved!!!!

I am planning to give myself this camera as a gift on my birthday coming Sunday. I will just pause this video here, and watch it again when I have a6400 in my hands to do the settings along with this video.

[@a_common_9]

@@angelmarinelarena3342 yes I do now :) though I have bought kit lens which isn't that great. Will play around with kit lens for an year and gift myself a good f1.4 lens next year

[@a_common_9]

@@No_PRO8L3M it's a great cam. One tip. Turn off when not using even in between 2 clicks. It's battery drains super quickly. Also if you are extensive user, manage digitek spare battery that is available for 1000 rs, as a spare one when you go for an outing or event photography

Hi Curtis, thank you for this video! I wanted to ask if will you also do this kind of photography setup guide for sony zv e10?

[@Sismodium]

About time! ;) Better late than never Curtis. Thanks for sharing though.

[@danny_platinum]

Thank you. Great video and really helped me as a beginner.

[@CurtisPadley]

Glad it was helpful mate ✌️

[@paulm8157]

Quality post, Curtis! (Which custom button is assigned to “Tram Mode”?😊.) Kidding aside, there’s a function menu “on steroids” that is seldom hyped, but super useful (a throw back to SLR menus). In shooting mode keep pressing the Display button until you see a screen that shows lots of settings but no live view. Informative, but here’s the trick: press the Fn button to “light up” one of the settings. Use the directional wheel to move to a different setting of your choice (it lights up, in turn). Next press the center button to get to the screen that lets you change the setting value. Cheers!

[@leoconing]

Great Video Curtis, these Tips have defiantly helped with setting my camera up for photography even though I use a SonyA7II I was still able to change the settings to the same ones as on the A6400 or a similar option.

[@CurtisPadley]

Ayyy that's great to hear Leo! Glad it was still helpful! 🤙

[@MR-MOHON]

Thank you...😊😊

[@simpix7683]

One thing to be aware of if using Continuous Shooting Hi+ is that you lose the ability for live view in ‘real-time’ panning. In other words, if following a moving subject the camera will not let you see the moving focus points properly. It's better to just use CS Hi which give you only one or two less frames per second

[@isisakemimuto]

I’m planning to give myself a camera for b-day present 😅 and being a beginner, after doing some research, I chose Sony a6400, due to everything it provides to someone who is just starting and because of the price as well 🤭 I already watched your video which is great btw but I’ll be back when I get my camera ❤

[@chipiturk90strend]

Got this camera today! 🎉 learning learning I started and still had a Pentax k70. Good cameras but to heavy and dslr. As i like street photography i decide to start using mirrorles ❤ Love this camera a6400

[@bloodmoney88]

can you run us through a cleaning routine beyond the internal auto cleaning. I find sad smudges on my images at times from forgetting to clean my lens before the shoot. So I have started a routine of using the internal cleaning device, but I wonder if their isn't more efficient means, like with a fluid that might repel dust? Even further perhaps cleaning lenses, perhaps even mold "proofing". Thanks for any efforts.

[@A_M_Stradomska]

Not gonna lie. Love some of those settings!

Is there an "auto ISO - minimum shutter speed" option in this camera?

[@mdel.e9234]

thanks. Shooting in raw photography, what creative style is best Standard or Neutral

[@CurtisPadley]

I don't use a creative style just left it at standard ✌️

[@EnergyProfessionals]

Hi Curtis. Love your channel! Thank you for sharing your experience. I recently started using a Sony a6400 with a Sony 35mm 1.8 OSS lens. But I'm not getting super sharp images. I shoot in RAW + JPG Fine. I've shot in auto-mode and in manual-mode. I've noticed that the camera is requiring a very high ISO for proper exposure. For example, in doors or good light, it's at about 1600-2000 ISO. AP and SS are normal. Is there some other setting I am unaware of? High ISO could be why the images aren't super sharp.

[@RodzChris]

I just got this camera With 70 - 350 G OSS, Wow is all i can say!

RE Grey card, did you know SONY lens caps are Grey for this purpose. I only found out a few weeks ago, thought I'd pass it on. Take a photo of your SONY lens/body cap in situ & in post you can have exact white balance matching that colour coded grey.

[@noahrogge9592]

Hello, I have a question. Have you used imaging edge desktop? A6400 to macbookpro version ventura 13.5. Previously it used to work. But it connects for about 1 second and then disconnects by itself. Every time Try asking and following the basic steps, looking for information, following them and it's still the same. Is there a way to solve it?

[@jovisaldanha3232]

Please make a video of the lens recommended in 2023

[@joshuathomas4934]

The a6400 is incredible. Yes the 6600 is better in a few ways. But not the ways that are important to me. So it was a waste for me to spend the xtra money. The 6400 is absolutely still worth every penny. I came from an a6000. The building quality is a million times better

[@chrism7067]

this is what i was coming from. I had the a6000 kit, i picked up a few pieces of glass i use regularly (stopped using the kit lenses a while back) and decided i could sell the kit and spend an extra 100$ to upgrade to the body. Well thats what i just did, waiting on the a6400 to come in in a few days after selling the a6000. People on some groups said its not worth the upgrade and to just go to the 66 or 6700. im like.. 100$ isnt worth the upgrade when it has wayyyyy better auto focus and build quality and the chip is significantly newer? surely these people are pulling my leg lol. plus i have batteries and accessories that can fit the a6400 from the a6000 Hope you have been liking it, i cant wait to get my grip and main lens on it to go shooting.

[@Kaysontks]

Hi I have just recently bought myself the Sony A7IV! Could you post a video on your setting for sony A7IV? I bought your preset as well!

A6400- if turned on in Memory Recall mode, the submenu for selecting which memory you desire is not anailable but if you turn the camea on in any other mode and then change to Memory Recall mode the Memory Recall submenu is displayed and you can select which memory you want. Is this a glitch with all A6400 cameras or just my camera??

I am a mobile photographer and I'm interested in buying a professional camera. So is a6400 good enough for me, is it worth getting this camera in 2024. I need a camera mostly for photography. Thank You.

maybe dumb but random question if I buy a6400 and then in the future want to buy a7iii can I use the same lens for both cameras ???

[@mrcello5399]

Yes, but you should get full frame lenses if you’re thinking of buying a full frame camera in the future. So you don’t spend lenses with different camera sensors.

You should get A6600 when it's at the same price. There's nothing you will regret, i mean - technically, everything is newer and better.
