[LAHMIDI]

Please what lens do you recommend, for this camera. The goal is to create content and photograph the family.

Hey Gerard, I got mine a6700 and paired it with the latest Sigma 24 mm 1.4 art to get a 36 mm FF equivalent, and the results for portraits are impressive! I'm coming from an a6300, and basically, with the a6700, to do portraits I use the Wide area and AI autofocus to follow the human eye accurately.

Hi Gerald, my settings are very similar to yours as well. I do prefer to use the Group Display turned on since this camera for me is used for wildlife. I can quickly delete the whole grouped photos easily if all the images in that sequence sucks, which happens often with fast moving birds flying.

Thanks for the video. Very nice. Just a question, why you set the color space sRGB instead AdobeRGB? AdobeRGB color space has big range of colors. Thanks

[joshk]

Great guide. I appreciate how you explained the settings. Thank you

[jnch]

Is there a way to customize what is shown on the screen? I would love to have always the level+histogram, but I can't manage to display both at the same time

[gewww]

Hello! Is there a way to turn off the red light on the left bottom corner of the camera?? Tia!

Does anyone know why continuous bracket mode has to be held down to fire all the shots desired? Just got the a6700, and it is making me hold down. Frustrating. I want to press once, and have camera fire off the brackets. The a6300 doesn't do this.

Great video, quick question do you think you can spot the difference between let say a raw file that is lossless compressed vs uncompressed? Thinking about pick up this camera but was a little worried about lossless compressed. Any info would be great ✌️

Nice video! Thanx for your great explanation! I am wondering one thing however. I don’t know if it’s a feature or a bug. But I notice that when I set the focus standard to the c3 button, it allows me to switch the ability to set the focus spot to another location using the wheel. When I press it again, it resets the position to the center of the screen, great! That’s what I expected to happen.

However, when I do the same with rear2 button 1( center button) it behaves differently. Clicking it does sel focus point on/ off, but it doesn’t reset the position to the center, when clock twice, like the c3 button does. This is when both buttons are mapped to the same focus standard.

Any idea if I’m doing something wrong, or it’s just the way it works?

Good to know quick run-through, Gerard. Thought you would have made the vid all in one take (kidding😊). Would have been much better if LCD screen had been a direct capture, or at least much larger in video, if that makes sense. Zebras show up early in vid before your explanation — thought that was an aberration at first. Does settings import/export work only for 6700 to/from 6700 units? Don’t understand why Apple preview not displaying RAW thumbnails, considering that JPG preview is built into RAW file.
Android and IOS smartphones will display and edit Sony RAW ( at least from prior Sony models up to A6600). Have you tried loading/previewing RAWs from the 6700 on a smartphone native photo viewer/editor? Cheers!

Which camera is best for videography and photography?
Confused between Sony a7c Or 6700

[diegoguiop]

Why do you think that the raw files can't been seen on mac?

[Saudiboyinjapan]

just bought mine today. and i don't know what to do with the camera. 😀

[macbaar]

How can I level up the frames per second like Camons cameras gave? 20 or 40 fps…
Simple: buy one of these Canon cams….
This from a Sony user over 15 years….

[andrejcupac]

You can view raw photos in the photos app on Mac. I was like “wait my iPad can view RAW files but not a full on Mac?” So why isn’t the “preview” app just as capable as photos app? No idea Apple, no idea…

[estebantedesco]

I dont get why this camera doesnt have uncompressed RAW....
