What Sony camera are you using? What are you shooting?

Really appreciate you going through the settings & taking the time to explain. Very 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.😀

I got a Sony a6400 for my gf recently. I set all the settings to what you have here. Thanks for the video!👍🏿

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

Imaging edge app (oem) is an excellent remote, no need to purchase another thing for your bag; yes bulb works.

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

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.

[ericng]

[raizelamie]

Is this camera worth it for wedding photography? I want to buy it for wedding photography but also for recording vlogs.

[clvm]

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.

[mdel.e]

[Throughalanslens]

What is that attachment you have on the bottom of the camera and what is its purpose?

[clisaa]
