    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!

    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

    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.

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.

    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.

      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

    Ugh, this video reminds how much I hate my a6400. It basically ruined photography for me. Like a computer, it changes settings on me, that I don't want changed. Also, you can't simply toggle AF tracking on or off, you have to change focus modes first. You can't just shoot single shots in AF-C because it will look for anything that moves and change focus to it. I really hate the low res EVF. It's just no fun to look at compared to an OVF.
    My old Nikon DSLR was so much more straight forward, but it's too bulky for travel. So F Sony.
