Good tips. I’ve been playing with my A6700 this week. No need to set a custom button C2 for Focus Standard to move the focus point. By default, pressing the center button on the control wheel is already set to Focus Standard which toggles the set focus point ON/OFF which allows you to move the focus point using the up/down/left/right buttons or by touch using either the touch screen or the touch pad if using the EVF. Also when the focus mode is set to Center Fix, pressing this same center button performs an AFS center focus. I left the C2 button customization to the default Focus Area while setting C3 to Focus Mode. I also activated, touch focus so regardless of what focus area is set, I can simply touch the screen or use the touch pad to move my focus point even when I am not in the set focus mode. Pressing the AF On button activates AF ON and Tracking while half pressing the shutter in AFS activates single focus. While, I wish the A6700 also had a joystick, the touch screen/touch pad gives me other ways to control the focus point besides the control wheel buttons. I can live with that. Upgrading from an A6000, I find real time tracking and AI subject recognition works really well.

For tip one, just press the center button on the D-pad, then move with the D-pad, then press the center button again when you are finished.

Amazing setup tips for the Sony a6700, thanks for the Custom Button Cheat Sheet btw. Very efficient work flow with these settings.

[RusstafaB]

Just got my a6700 and this is very useful information, so thank you any more videos very welcome

[LAHMIDI]

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

[angelousx]

Thank you for sharing this, as a beginner noob, I am hoping your lessons to take us from beginner to pre-intermediate with the Sony 6700. Looking forward to your videos.

[lexbraxman]

I like some of your custom settings. Thanks for that

[shaquillenoeltv]

Thanks Sean, haven't seen any good cinematic videos showcasing what the a6700 can do compared to higher end full frame offerings, can you hook us up with a comparison video ?

[jm]

Really good stuff Sean . I learned a lot

[Pharesm]

Great, easy to follow you!
I saw a lot of other videos, that were kinda convoluted by comparison...

[kweeFilms]

Do you have any good PP settings for photography? Thanks for the video !

Love this video! Having the option of seperate photo and video settings makes the seperate photo/video switch even better! I had this issue with my A6600 and i would constantly have to turn Picture Profile off when switching from Photo and Video (shooting in Slog-3). As I use this camera very specifically as a hybrid camera on shoots going from photo to video in a moment this has saved me soooo much time and avoiding any potential mistakes! Great video with proper explanation. You rock!

[rogerstarr]

Sean, can you check the system that emails the custom button settings document? I've tried 3 times in the last 2 days and haven't gotten the file.

[asiadmajeed]

Good tips like always. I’m curious how you will use the different cameras you have a7 iv, zv, 6700? So many tools to create :)

Hello, Sean. What SD card do you recommend I buy?
A V90 OR V60 for video.

[johannesl.]

Hi Sean, thanks a lot for all this information. Just a remark: 10 Bit video does not work with the free version of Davinci Resolve! For someone professional, 295 USD is not a big deal, for someone on a budget or just a casual video shooter, this might be a dealbreaker. 8 Bit still is good for most situations, don' t you think?

[SwiftySanders]

Great tips Sean! Thanks! I just started learning about my A6700 last week. Have watched several videos and I really appreciate your take on initial settings. I feel like it adds something to my knowledge of the camera. 😁

[carlosrosa]

Great, however, my A6700 does Not have this Focus Standard. I went exactly on the location you mentioned. First, for me would 23/55, not 18/31, and then, on AF/MF 1 I only have Focus Mode, AF Transition Speed, AF Subj. Shift Sensitivity and AF Assist and that's it.

Hey! Is it possible to hook a tethering cable on the a6700? if so, what kind of cable tip! Thanks! Helpful video
