The Everyday Dad if you have the A6400 plugged in via HDMI to the Atomos, does the flip screen still show the on screen info such as iso/shutter/focus-box, while the atomos receives a clean HDMI ?

Got one coming tomorrow. This video has the most practical info out of the good hundred I have watched so far. Great tips.

I bought it yesterday after saving for a couple of months. Now, need to learn using it properly. Thanks to vidéo like these, it will help a lot thx

Wow, new to your channel! Solid, simple, straight to the point info/content! Love it!!

I just got my a6400 a few days ago, awesome tips! This is the first video of yours I have seen, but immediately subbed after watch. I am a beginner in content creation and am sometimes overwhelmed at the sheer amount of topics I still need to learn. It’s really nice when someone makes videos like this tailored towards beginners to ease that learn curve and set us up for success with our gear. Thank you!

Watched all your videos on this camera and bit the bullet and got it, so excited to try it out. Thanks for these tips got it all set up to use!

Thanks friend for sharing! Loving the a6400 and all it can do, your tips were spot on. By far the best camera I've ever owned! Good Flying!

Great job.....lots of information presented in a no nonsense easy to comprehend style. I subbed!

O my goodness!!! That mini zoom function with the sigma lens, I needed it for my cooking tutorials! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!! By the way, I have both the sigma 16mm and the kit lens, but for cooking, I prefer to be using the sigma because... Blurry background 😂 and I just bought both the camera with the kit lens and the sigma, so I've been learning a lot about how to use the both properly and your videos have been of great help to me! Thanks once again.

I just picked up my new 6400 a couple of days ago and this video was SO good! I got so many helpful, usable tips and tricks out of it. It was really easy to follow and understand without dragging on! Thank you so much for the help! Phoebe x

Great tips. The bracket/bar I picked up from Best Buy (on sale for around $10) has a sturdy handle making it great for mounting the mic and vlogging. It has two shoe mounts. I suggest a wireless lav mic with a headphone jack and vol control. Provides on the fly audio monitoring and vol adjustment without having to go into camera functions. I picked up a Saramonic wireless lav for a around $100. Audio quality is superb and now I have a headphone jack (a feature some grip about is missing from the a6400) and an easy to carry vlogging set up with an unobstructed flip up monitor.

Been working with my A6400 for about 3 weeks now and your channel has helped a lot with me mastering it. I am really starting to fall in love with this camera. I always shoot in a picture profile. I use Cine 2 and slog 3 for that is just my personal preference. Especially when using Luts for color grading. Thank you for spreading your knowledge about this camera.

It's not digital zoom, which enlarges the pixels, clear image zoom crops the sensor - which in 4K is using a 6K portion of the sensor (so cropping the 6K image can still provide for a solid 4K video).

@derevon10

4 жыл бұрын

Clear image zoom doesn't work in RAW or video according to the Sony website. What you're describing with cropping isn't clear image zoom. Clear image zoom keeps the centre of the image untouched and uses some kind of advanced interpolation and/or other algorithms to achieve better picture quality than you would with regular digital zoom. It's definitely not lossless though which you can easily see at 2x zoom, but to zoom in just a little bit like 1.1-1.4x it's definitely useful as the quality remains very good.

another good video - thanks!!

Tips that I can share is to keep the 180 degree shutter, set to S priority mode in Video and then let Auto ISO dictate the noise. Works most of the time very well (except probably vlogging, which I dont do). Use a CPL in bright light to not only get less light in (shallow DOF) but also cut reflections. A CPL is one of the best filters you will invest in. Use the Vivid mode, works better than PP1 mode (to my eyes)

lo de iniciar grabación con el disparo es un total descubrimiento! solo eso valió el video y liberó una tecla personalizada. Excelente!

Great tips! The only suggestion I'd make is; rather than shooting in aperture priority for video, since you don't want your shutter speed changing, shoot in manual mode with auto ISO and dial in your ND filter until your ISO starts to climb (especially handy since the a6400 shows what your auto ISO is!). That way, if clouds change or anything happens to affect exposure your shutter speed is locked in and only the ISO changes.

Why not just set your movie mode to shutter priority and lock the SS at 1/60? Set ISO to auto (limit to 6400) so the the cam will auto adjust ISO and aperture to give you proper exposure. No ND filter needed and no chance to accidentally change aperture (as if in manual exposure mode).

Great work men, I like you.

I've been looking for a new camera for a while and this is one of my 3 options. I keep watching this video, your a7iii vs a6400 video, and the nikon z6 vs the a7iii and I just can't decide between these 3. I currently own a d7100 but I want to shoot my content in 4k. I do like the flip out screen of the a6400 and I like its features but then the a7 iii seems to have a better image and better bokeh plus the 5-axis stab. Then I could use my 3 nikon lenses in the nikon z6, but this has the annoying XQD cards...It's just very hard to decide! Also, the sony full frame lenses are pretty expensive..

Great tipsss

Thanks for the tips. Great pointers for someone like me just starting out with the A6400. One small thing, though; you recommend using PP1 but that is just a preset. You also need to select a gamma profile to assign to it. Which gamma profile would you suggest?

Thanks for the tips! I bought an A6400 yesterday, but I got the 18-135 lens. So far so good! Only bummer is that the thing is in Chinese, and it's impossible to switch to English as there's no option for it - can only switch to Japanese, Korean and a few other Asian languages. Good thing I studied some Chinese over the years while living here, otherwise that would've been a nightmare.

That face tracking is amazing

I'm waiting for Prime Day to see if the A6400 goes on sale. LOVED this video. You may have convinced me to get the body only and then buy the lenses I want (since the 16-50 does suck and the 18-135 is so large). Any tips on where to get some good quality used lenses? Other than ebay or the obvious. :)

I like the sound of "Hyper Log Gamma" 3:14 better than Hybrid Log Gamma. 😂

"I think Picture Profile 1, is one of the BEST" *Climbs tree* lolol omg I laughed so hard at that part...

The last advice with the dual thing is really good! I also do field recordings - so I was thinking if there's an adapter where you can mount the microphone on the bottom of the camera? Like a screw which gives you the same end on both sides so you can attach the microphone just directly onto the cam :D is that possible?

Do you have any tips for the stabilization? My 6400 with the steady shot on or off is the same shaky image :/

Heeeeeey, good tips!

Hi! I recently came across your channel trying to see if a specific camera was worth the purchase and I ended up digging deep into your channel! I'm looking for a mirrorless camera preferably that has good quality, auto focus, battery life, and video quality/audio but mostly for pictures! Do you have any suggestions that come to mind?

I just bought a a6400, been looking at your videos great tips and knowledge, what brand lens was the small 16-50mm?

Dope video and good vibes! A6400 or fujifilm xs10?

Ordered this as my Christmas gift and it gets delivered tomorrow. I honestly can’t wait so I’m watching all these setup videos so I know what to do. Heading out to the zoo tomorrow night so I’m looking forward to testing it out in low light. Thanks for the video!

Great ❤️👌👌👌

I am really enjoying your videos on the a6400. Did I hear you mention that you cannot use touch to track if an external monitor is connected?

Love your videos. Just getting into photography, been doing lots of research and thinking of getting the A6400 as my first camera. Hopefully its easy enough to use and allows me to grow as a photographer with it. 2 questions... 1. Can you share a link to the ND filter you used? 2. Any recommendations on the best lens for landscape shots?

3:24 Thanks for the picture profile info. Do you tweak PP1 Settings? If So, what do you change. Thanks again.

Hey, man. Nice video. How does it make an image zoom without loosing quality?

You can also bind any of the customizable buttons to Movie.

Honestly, a good tip would be to use the remote control abilities of the camera with your phone. It isn't perfect, but it can save you from the whole not seeing your monitor screen dilemma. Yes, you would have to have your phone on you, but who goes anywhere these days without their phone?

I guess lots of people like me who use DSLR for the first time. We need more basic knowledge of each function was and how to use it. Keep going!

Iv'e been checking out the A6400. I think going from the Panasonic G7 to the A6400 will definitely be a good move.

If poor lighting be sure to switch from Continuous AF to Single-shot AF with AF illuminator set to Auto. It is helpful and should get the shot, of course this applies to photos and not videos.

I have set up the MR dial so I can quickly choose between 4k and 1080/120. I was sad to see that this camera does not have the dedicated 1 and 2 on the dial itself. However, I found that this method does the trick for me... To set this I went into shutter priority with 1/50. Then set 4k/24. Auto Iso. Then Register to memory within settings. then again with 1/250 at 1080/120. auto iso. This allows me to quickly change to correct shutter speed and file format.

The Eye AF function is unavailable when the mode dial is set to (Movie) or , or during movie shooting. Is it true? A6600 has movie eye af and this one doesn’t ? Great tips! I must know if autofocus 6600. And 6600 are equal

tip after having my 6400 for 5 years: don't bother upgrading unless you have it paid for by a business your own or otherwise. Great "little" camera. I bought nice FE lenses thinking to upgrade "later"... I haven't the need yet. I bought the general "E" lenses like an after thought, I bought 4 different E lenses for the price of my cheapest FE lens, and the kit lenses are proving to be useful, efficient, easier than my X E EF lenses, less weight on my back, at 60y.o. weight is an escalating issue. I love the 6400 16mm combo... very neat on a stand. My shaky hands like my OSS lenses better. I have the 50mm e lens, it's fun, and a good quality producer... not the brilliance of the 90mmSONYG... very different price tag, still it makes fantastic images.

Just so you know, at 1:30 you said while talking about shutter speed of 1/60 that it's also known as the 180 degree rule. That's not at all the 180 degree rule. The 180 degree rule is staying on one side (180 degrees) while shooting 2 or more people talking to each other so that it looks like they're facing each other when you cut between shots

I was going to get it with the 18-135mm lens kit? Is it not worth getting over the 16-50mm one?

@94play94

It is totally worth it. The 18135 is such a good lense. Don't get me wrong, the 1650 kit is also very good, and small and lightweight compared to the 135. But the image quality is sooo good, together with OSS. Trust me, totally worth it.

Using this right now for my A6100. Most of the tips apply. The camera is tracking your face on my laptop and AFing it. LOL!

I get an special setting for BW... More powerful than Picture Profile (just for daylight)

thanks for the information, i using sony a6400 its a amazing video camera,, and posted video my youtube channel

Hi Gary, for your first tip, why wouldn’t you just manually set the shutter to 1/60 sec so both the aperture and shutter are locked in and the two variables will be the auto ISO and ND filter adjustment?

I’ve a feeling that the photos from my 6400 is lacking the color punch. However the similar shots from Nikon z50 got better colors and contrast. How can I get the nice saturation with punchy colors right away? I am a hobbyist and do not want to go into post processing. Can I set a custom picture profile for photos in 6400

one question.. does it autofocus on adapted sigma lenses?

General question. I am shooting my videos at 4k 30fps and want to implement some slow motion into it. What would you recommend how to do it. Stay at 4k 30fps and slow down the Szene or shoot in 1080p in 60fps?

Which ND filter do you recommend for the Kit lens?

How do you set up that clear image zoom on a custom button. Need a little more detail

Any tip for the rolling shutter thing? Thanks

For the a6400, what adapter i would need to use w/ my Sigma 30mm 1:1 .4 DC HSM)? (now using on T5i)
