What Sony camera are you using? What are you shooting?
waiting for 6400 replacement, probably they'll release it on 2023Q1, if not gonna buy this one
Really appreciate you going through the settings & taking the time to explain. Very helpful!
I got a Sony a6400 for my gf recently. I set all the settings to what you have here. Thanks for the video!👍🏿
Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad it was helpful for you! Enjoy shooting 🙂
This camera is beast❤️
Awesome video Mike! super helpful and straight to the point. Now going to go watch your setup for video. Thanks again Mike!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for your time! This video was great!..😎💯
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video info for a guy like me transitioning from Canon EOS cameras. This Sony a6400 is totaly different, more complex and more complicated. Your detailed set up helped me a lot. Thanks a lot.😀
Glad to help! Welcome to the Sony Alpha system!
Imaging edge app (oem) is an excellent remote, no need to purchase another thing for your bag; yes bulb works.
I have a Sony RX10 IV and the settings are almost the same. I am a photographer and videographer as well. This was very much helpful
I'm glad it helped out!
I wish the meter worked in auto iso like canon and nikon this is my biggest fault so far taking me a few more seconds to get exposure properly on the 6000 and 6400
What is that attachment you have on the bottom of the camera and what is its purpose?
It’s an L bracket. It’s used to give more grip Room, to allow vertical mounting to a tripod and even provide a cold shoe mount for a microphone.
Hey man, how i add or remove icons from info display? So much icons... It drives me nuts!))
I appreciate for answering
MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [DISP Button] → [Monitor] or [Finder] → desired setting → [Enter].

What shutter type is sony a6400 use? Is it mechanical shutter or electronic shutter?
Mechanical
what picture profile best for a6400 for cinematic look
I typically use SLog 2 or HLG. It depends what youre comfortable with and what youre going for
aloha~I m new w/a6400 my video came out foggie grey on sunny day outdoor not sure why...I am sure due to incorrect setting...also any recommendations on fast quick travel chargers? any idea/suggestion? thanks🤙👊
Aloha! Did you come from an air-conditioned environment and went outside? Sometimes in hot and humid environments that happens to my lenses.
For quick battery banks I usually recommend anything Anker. Something like this: amzn.to/3Ngc1jZ
@MikeBSalazar no I was at the sunny beach park I think it's my setting I got my iso to the max because each person I spoke to have different settings and I don't know who to follow everyone has different settings lol confusing time to time some people do not have beginners instructional videos and sadly some do not even response back comments after weeks n months waiting...either too busy or don't care for my comments I guess... anyways I am figuring out most things out on my own most of the times. all i want is simple sunny clear day natural video. thank u🤙
@@E9ONE1 On a nice sunny day, most often you'll keep your ISO very low. On low light situations you'll bring that thing back up.
Feel free to leave any more comments if you have anymore questions.
Solid guide to setting your camera for the best picture. I really find the UI to be annoying, especially with the ease of use of taking pictures on phones. Hope they improve the software in the future.
Yeah that is the only catch, the menu is so deep. The newer Sony menus like the A7SIII and A7IV is much easier.
Thanks Sir for the clear explanation! I'm wondering if you played Ragnarok (VanRO) way back? Haha. I just remember a name same as yours and same profession as well.
😆 no ragnarok for me
Oh I See. Hahaha. Anyway, thanks again.
^ If I am short on time who Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority be "easier" to learn along with auto mode. Also what video should i set to for 1080? I don't want 4K cause of space
Yeah! Definitely. Whatever works for you!
I recommend the XAVC HD 🙂
Brh i recently buy 6400 and every photo when i zoom haveing noise is it the problem of kit lens or cam?
Can you help me
Are you using the kit lens? Noise is prone to show up in dim lit situations.
yes kit lens . even in day light also
I have Sony Alpha 6400 😊
Welcome to the Sony Alpha a6400 life!
Please help, my camera hasn't have "raw" option, what is the solution?
Is this also an A6400?
@@MikeBSalazar yes, mike .. it's opened in pics mode, but closed in vids mode
You can only shoot RAW for photos, not videos.@@ziad_ahmed98
@@MikeBSalazar thanks you are vey helpful guy ,, i advice you to search and read about islam, because it calls for your good behaviour 😊
Use a6400 but hss dont work
Yeah it only goes up to 1/160 with the flash on the camera.
When I use an external flash like Godox TT685S, I can get the HSS shutter speeds.
Oh good
Y’all know you can edit RAW on your phone? Still don’t understand why everyone says the JPEGS are only for their phone.
Convenience.
@@justincasehd7524 I get that, but wouldn’t convenience be… editing a raw photo and getting a badass final product all from wherever you’re sitting on your phone? Just a thought. Great video! I followed a lot of your settings for photo and video when I got my 6400. Working well for me so far and I haven’t really strayed from your advice.
I've been editing via Lightroom and can edit my raws there, but I noticed that the Sony Edge app just sends JPEGs via wireless.
@@MikeBSalazar That's the single biggest irritation I have because it was such a great option to be able to transfer wirelessly only to be reduced to jpeg only making it pointless. And there's no good technological excuse I can think of, beyond file size which should be irrelevant as it would only slightly increase transfer times.
Too fast for beginners
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll consider this in future set up videos.
