Man the timing of the video! I finally just got my A6400 about two weeks ago and I’m eager to learn everything I can. Who better to learn from than the dude that inspired my decision to get it!

Cheers man.

thanks bro just got my first a6400 yesterday and this really help!

I've had this camera for almost 2 years now and i've never found a more easy and helpful guide before. This camera may look very little but is a pure beast, i've never been happier with a camera before and i still use it so much to this day! Awesome video dude :)

I'm so happy people are still buying and reviewing this camera! I've had mine a couple years - your video is SO helpful. I was having some focus challenges, and this just leveled up my overall knowledge of the settings. Feeling way more confident that my next shoot will be extra sharp. One setting I could not figure out was the tracking expand flexible spot - the setting is just greyed out any shoot mode I try to access it in.

I am planning to give myself this camera as a gift on my birthday coming Sunday. I will just pause this video here, and watch it again when I have a6400 in my hands to do the settings along with this video.

RE Grey card, did you know SONY lens caps are Grey for this purpose. I only found out a few weeks ago, thought I'd pass it on. Take a photo of your SONY lens/body cap in situ & in post you can have exact white balance matching that colour coded grey.

Just got my Sony a6400, really helpful video! ❤

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

I am a mobile photographer and I'm interested in buying a professional camera. So is a6400 good enough for me, is it worth getting this camera in 2024. I need a camera mostly for photography. Thank You.

Bought this as my first camera today brand new 🎉🎉 i picked this coz i think it can handle all i can think for it, casual or some professional photo or videoa and 4k video

[ThePasteete]

Just got an a6400 + sony e35mm oss lens 😊 hope it works well

[adunford]

Great video, bought a 6400 last year and still exploring the menus. Like your style and enthusiasm.

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!

I am always in awe of the quality of content he uploads for us! Bro, Respect for you ~! :)

11:40 These cameras also can take so much photos, before the sensor dying.
This is the main reason I only look for second hand cameras.

Casual shooters don't ever come close to killing the camera. The highest frame count I've seen from a non-wedding shooter is 16 000. The cameras live up into the 100 000s range. Even at 40 000 frame count, it still is worth it to buy the camera.

Great video! I just got my a6400, and this will help me get started. I've been using the a6300, and it has a totally different menu. More power to you! 🙌

[noahrogge]

Unboxed and set up my 6400 today! if it wasn't for you I probably never would have bought one

[MohammedRaja]

[aliceyellowdog]

You're not (too) late! It's my main camera, thanks!!
