Think Media I’ll get my a6400 on mon. 29 jun 20. I purchased the 16-50 kit lens and the Sony 18-105 lens. You went too quickly for me re items like AF and touch tracking etc I just didn’t fully comprehend it all. You were explaining things too quickly. I missed things... I like what you showed us in relation to setting up ‘my cam’. Going into ‘my cam’ is great, but that is doing everything at once. I like the idea of 1. taking a photo and showing us that step by step by step. To me that means seeing you telling us to move the dial to Aperture and taking a photo, looking at it ( show us how to do that too) and moving the aperture to a plus or minus 1, depending on the day being bright or dull. That moves us away from using “auto” but more importantly it starts to tell us to say move the dial to Aperture before we do anything else One other trainer suggests that Aperture is a good place to start. . 2 Recording a basic video? Show us again first on the dial where to move the dial to video, then tell us a basic suggestions in the menus ( if any simple ones);what else to do to prepare for recording. After we see those 2 things.. a photo, and a video. The reason I want to bring all this up is this: many trainers assume our knowledge is there when it is not there in relation to the dial in top of cam. If we move the dial to Aperture, take a photo, look at it then make a +1 compensation, take the photo again, does that mean all future photos will use that +1 compensation I made in the Aperture mode for all future photos UNLESS WE MOVE THE +1 COMPENSATION BACK TO WHERE IT WAS, IF WE DONT I THINK THAT +1 COMPENSATION WILL BE APPLIED TO ALL FUTURE PHOTOS IF I TAKE THEM IN APERTURE MODE. (emphasised). I trust you understand how us novices think. Do you understand. If you like, I’m asking you to help by explaining simply what happens to say future photo settings if we move the dial to say A. This may be simple to you, but it is fundamental to me to understand this. The other broad issues are if you set up my cam, I assume you need to be aware that auto focus might not be selected if you are videoing a landscape. I’m just trying to get some principles clear, hence me choosing the 2 main operations we do.. taking a photo and recording a video. I like it when trainers say to me .. “ Terry, there is no such thing as a dumb question”.

I've used Pentax for 20+ years and upgraded to a Sony a6400. One day in and I love it, but since I didn't even know where to find the record button, there's a lot to learn! Great video. It has been my favorite intro to this camera so far. Thank you.

[@duniagiana]

At 5:37 you mixed up focus area and focus mode, and 6:25 you mean flash comp, not focus comp. I'am sorry for being so neatpicky, but this shorts of thing can make some first timer (Like me) really confused, LoL! It take some times for me to realize that you made a mistake, but I get it in the end. Great video btw, I literally follow all your suggestion in this video. Cause it all make sense to me. Thank you

[@uddomsong]

My first camera & first Sony

[@annewatman677]

This video is 4 years old, and I just bought one! I don’t have it yet, but I’m excited. I had a Nikon full frame DSLR, with several lens, and it was way too much for me. I really wanted something smaller, lighter, and “simpler.” I have mostly had Nikons, although I had one of the early Sony mirrorless cameras. I never really got comfortable with it, because menu settings were so much different. However, I know this will be fine. I got the kit lens, and that’s really all I need. I thought I’d be fine just using my cellphone camera, but I really miss having an actual camera. Thanks for the helpful setup video.

[@bridget3029]

This is my first Sony! I’m excited 😛

[@TarshaNicole]

This is my first camera and first Sony. It came highly recommended by a friend. Great tips!

I have had Sony cameras since it was 35mm. We've had the televisions too...we love us some sony's!

[@ThanhS]

It’s my first Sony. Thank you for the quick set-up tutorial!

[@MadelineJaye-pc2ok]

first Sony and the guy at the store was very smug telling me there was no instruction manual but that it's completely intuitive. Now I come from Nikon land where I've read the manual, watched tutorials, graduated from dslr to Full frame over a period of years. I know my Nikon inside out and still more to learn I'm sure. This Sony was NOT at all intuitive but I took it on a trip knowing I'd have time later to learn it. Thank you for this video. you talk to us like we are intelligent but new. SO simple but hard for a sales guy who is not a natural teacher.

[@joanofark7649]

This is my first Sony, do not know anything about it other then this very helpful video. Thank you, I am going to take it out of the box tomorrow. I have been a Canon user for 20+ years. Adjusting to this Sony will take time.

This will be my second Sony a6xxx series camera. I've had the ILCE-6000 since it was released in 2014. Love the platform. Mine still produces excellent images. I haven't received my ILCE-6700 yet. It's on backorder. This was a good overview and I appreciate it.

Thanks for this video. My a6400 is on the way. While I have the a5000, I really consider this to be my "first" Sony since it has features that I really want. 4K recording, in particular. Thanks also for the a6400 playlist of videos. I will be watching all of them while my a6400 makes it way home.
