Touch Operation (Setup3/7) also needs to be ON. Took me a while to figure this out. I had originally turned this off because my nose kept focusing on things.

Oh but dude that's the next generation of autofocus systems. NAF (Nose Auto Focus) allows for unparalleled randomness and guaranteed ruined shots when used properly.

Thanks for the tip. I'm wondering... is there any difference in shooting video with the a6400 set to either video mode or manual mode? Is there any difference at all? I have my mode wheel always set to "M". Other than being able to use the shutter button to begin recording, is there any difference? Thanks!! And great channel. Thanks for sharing so much valuable information.

Hi Bob. You can configure the custom buttons differently depending on whether you are shooting stills or video, but you'll need to switch into video mode on the top dial if you want to make use of the custom buttons that you have set for video.

No I'm afraid touch tracking will not work when you are using the EVF. Personally I prefer to set the focus area to tracking center if I'm using the EVF. But then you will need to half-press the shutter button to keep the tracking on your subject.

Hi! I shoot a video podcast and use touch tracking in video mode to keep focus on my face, however, I’ve noticed that objects the foreground constantly pulsate. Any fix to this?
@AlphaShooters3 жыл бұрын
It's probably the focus breathing that you are seeing, it varies from lens to lens. You can work around it by moving any objects from the edge of the frame then it's less noticeable. I'll often shoot my videos on manual focus to avoid this.

I heard that the 6400 camera does not work correctly with external monitors. (excluding external recorders) No 4K image, no atofocus. no face and eye recognition. What can you say about this?
@AlphaShooters4 жыл бұрын
If you are shooting video in 4k and have connected a display using HDMI then no unfortunately you will only see a black screen. This does not stop the the autofocus from working or face detection, there is no eye-af in movies on the a6400. I'd recommend checking this page in the online-help for further details: helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1810/v1/en/contents/TP0002264713.html?search=hdmi
