what's up guys it's river and in this

video i'm gonna show you how to get the

most out of your sony a6400 whether

you've had this camera for a while or

you just got it in this video i'm gonna

show you every single thing that you

need to know to get the most out of this

camera so

let's get into it

[Music]

also if you're new to the channel we

talk about anything and everything on

how to use camera gear including

teaching you guys how to take better

photos and videos so if you like this

video and you know i hope you do please

leave a like helps the channel out helps

me keep making more of this content for

you guys and we just hit a hundred

thousand subscribers that plaque back

there is what youtube gives you for

hitting a hundred thousand so i promise

you it is a very very worthwhile

subscription and i recommend being part

of the camera community that we have

here on this channel so with that being

said let's get into the tutorial alright

so let's talk about where all the

physical buttons on this camera are what

everything does and you also may notice

that there's a gigantic camera next to

my head this camera is recording the

a6400 so you guys can get a better view

so the first button we're going to look

at is the on and off button and now most

of you guys don't know this but

it turns the camera on and off i'm just

kidding but

that's the on and off button and right

next to it is the c1 button now this is

a custom button that you can pretty much

set to anything through the menus but

the defaults for what it comes with is

your autofocus mode and i actually

recommend keeping it on that

because

honestly there's no quicker way to

change your autofocus so c1 for me on my

personal sony cameras is still autofocus

and next to that is this dial right here

now this kind of has like a sticky feel

to it it's called having a stepper dial

and basically you can use this to change

your shutter speed or aperture depending

on what you want to do with it

personally i use this to change my

aperture and it works the best for me

and the next thing we're going to look

at is this black anonymous knob now it

doesn't have a label because you can

change it to anything you like it comes

preset as your aperture and i actually

recommend leaving it as aperture for

most shooters video or photo because

your shutter speed generally stays

constant depending on how fast your

subject is moving but your aperture is

usually the thing that changes

and next to that is the mode dial with

all these labels now most of these

labels you can totally ignore because

these are modes that you will never use

the ones that you'll probably use the

mode is first of all a this little auto

thing you know just basically does

everything for you next to that

is

m now m basically means manual this is

only for photo mode manual photo mode

basically allows you a control over your

shutter speed aperture and iso

independently because these other modes

basically what happens is if you change

your shutter it'll change your aperture

for you if you change your aperture

changes your shutter for you personally

i think that is

this they're just not good modes to use

because if you're gonna go with

automatic settings you may may as well

go with full auto so for that reason i

recommend most people skip a p a s

although all these modes and just go

straight to manual or stick with auto

and after that you'll notice this weird

square icon that's actually a film strip

now if you're in your teens or in your

early 20s you're like what the heck is

film

well kids film was this thing that

dinosaurs like me used to shoot video

before there was digital i highly

recommend doing the wikipedia search but

that is a film strip and that is your

video mode now i will talk about

how to use all these modes to the best

of your advantage but i want to show you

guys where everything was uh just as

like a beginner brief overall

and after that let's go to the back of

this camera so the things you need to

know on the back of this camera is first

of all your menu button this button

right here with the lightning bolt you

know harry potter vibes here uh that

menu button is your flash it will

basically if you have your camera off

and you hit this your flash will pop up

tada

now something to note this button right

here at the top is what allows you to

take photos but this will not work in

video mode the way to record video is to

actually hit this button with the red

dot on it on the side and this is what's

going to help you record video or really

it's the only way to record video but

later in this video i'm going to show

you how to come up with a hack or a fix

on how to use this shutter button to

actually record video and after that

let's look at the fn button right here

now this is going to bring up your

function menu or your quick menu and

this is the best way to operate your

camera the menus and the sony cameras

are really really cumbersome and this is

the quickest way to change all of your

settings after that you'll have your

little square scroll wheel that you can

use to change all of your settings

depending on what kind of a menu you're

in this is going to do different things

but if you're not in the menu this is

also going to change your shutter speed

if you go to the left it'll lower your

shutter speed go to the right it will

raise your shutter speed and also at the

same time if you hit right on it it'll

bring up your iso menu

and if you hit

up it will bring it will change your

display and if you hit left it will

bring up your

different uh

drive modes now this now as you can see

i'm getting an error message right here

so for this i have to actually be in

manual mode

and then when i hit this it will bring

up different drive modes now i'll talk

more about this later

but uh this is a pretty general overview

where everything on the camera is

one last thing i want to talk about is

if you hit this little button with the

triangle it will bring up whatever

you've shot on your car like photos and

videos i don't have a card in this right

now but this is how you access what

you've shot on your card next to that is

the trash can item so if you want to

delete something

but if you hit it when you're not in the

playback menu it'll bring up your white

balance and

honestly

leave your camera not a white balance

camera does a great job with white

balance now if you flip your camera over

down here is a little slot and that is

where your battery goes and next to it

is your sd card now be very very careful

i do recommend taking the battery out

before you put the sd card in so you can

properly insert it because there's not

much wiggle room in here and i have seen

people snap their sd cards in here so

you have been warmed be careful and if

you look to this side of the camera is a

little flap this is where your headphone

jack goes hdmi out and

this little uh

usb port right here is where you plug in

your charger now this camera does not

come with a battery charger so the way

you plug it in

or charge it sorry is that you plug in

your usb port through a wire and you

charge the battery directly in the

camera it's not the greatest i do

recommend buying a separate battery

charger but that is how you would do it

otherwise all right so now that you know

where everything is on your camera let's

talk about how to set it up for photos

and videos alright so the first thing

you want to do is you want to jump into

your menus now the menus are laid out

pretty simply uh you'll actually see

these tabs at the very top

and this is going to give you your

overall like menu feed menu

categories and within each menu are

pages and pages and pages of menu and

i'm not joking like each menu category

has about 14 pages of menus like it is a

lot all right so the first thing you

want to do is jump into your menu system

now you'll notice at the top there's

different menu tabs now all these menu

tabs

are have different categories like

quality and image settings movie network

playback

most of the stuff you will never touch

you really don't need to know about so

let's go look at menu tab one page one

and that is file format a lot of you

guys are probably going to want to shoot

raw plus jpeg and the difference between

raw is that raw is the way to get the

best photos out of your camera you're

going to get the most quality out of

there you're really going to be able to

edit your photos jpeg is like if you're

shooting casual birthday party photos

that never need to be edited or just

like on vacation with your mom it's

whatever uh that's what jpeg is for i

recommend most of you guys shoot raw

plus jpeg just for like the most

flexibility of what you want to do and

below that you'll see jpeg quality now

this is how you pick the quality of your

jpeg naturally if you're going to shoot

jpegs pick extra fine so you get the

most out of your jpegs underneath that

you'll see jpeg size naturally you want

to leave this at large 24 megapixels so

you get the most quality out of it and

now this is important underneath that

you'll see aspect ratio

aspect ratio is basically the kind of

letterboxing that your images have three

by two is

a very large letterboxing where you'll

probably notice on this screen

this video fills from top to bottom and

it's pretty wide now this is 16 by nine

if i made this video slightly taller

that would be three by two and that is

what most photographers like to shoot in

if for some reason you know you want it

in this 16 by nine ratio go ahead and

pick 16 by nine but i really recommend

picking

uh three three to two aspect ratio one

by one is square and honestly like

i don't know anybody that shoots square

so go with three by two

and now if you switch over to the next

page you'll see high iso and r

iso nr stands for high iso noise

reduction what i actually recommend

doing is leaving it off if you're

planning on doing any kind of

professional work with this and you want

to edit your photos later you can easily

remove this

noise in lightroom in photoshop but if

noise reduction is done in camera

sometimes it leaves your photos looking

a little mushy or a little soft so i

recommend leaving this off but if you're

shooting jpegs leave it at normal and

you'll get great results and after that

if you hit the fn button you'll actually

have your quick menu come up and now i'm

going to go over

what all these settings do but only the

ones that you really need to know about

so the first thing i want to look at is

drive mode now drive mode is basically

how you pick how fast or how many times

your camera's shooting

there's a bunch of modes in here but

most of you guys will only need to know

the first two first is single shooting

this is where you take one photo and

then your camera stops even if you have

the shutter button pressed down but if

you keep holding down the shutter button

and you're in continuous shooting mode

your camera will basically keep taking

photos and depending on how many photos

you want to shoot uh you have different

types of continuous shooting now if you

press left or right

on continuous shooting you you'll notice

that it goes from can you continue

shooting low which is five frames per

second

then continue shooting mid which i

believe is seven or eight then you have

high and then you know high plus is like

lightning speed

i don't actually know exactly how many

photos it's taking but depending on what

you want if you're just shooting your

kid's birthday party vacation low should

be fine if you're shooting something

with a lot of action you might as well

shoot as fast as your camera can go

which is high plus there's really no

uh quality fall off and there's like no

downside to shooting more except for

having way too many photos underneath

that you'll see self timer now self

timer is pretty self explanatory

basically it'll take a couple seconds

before it takes a photo and if you hit

left or right it can either be 2 seconds

10 seconds 5 seconds depending on what

you need

next to drive mode you'll see focus mode

and you might be thinking wow focus is

going to be complicated honestly no

if you're shooting a subject that's not

really moving around a lot

i would use singles photo mode or a

single shot autofocus and if you're

shooting someone that's moving around a

lot

uh use automatic autofocus the thing is

sony autofocus is insanely good like

insanely good and if it just it's it

honestly is set it and forget it i

personally i have this theory where

uh people that make these sony cameras

are aliens

and this is technology from the future

it is like stupid good but if you're

someone that's a control freak such as

me i actually recommend using

dmf now what this is going to do is it's

going to allow you to use autofocus but

if it doesn't nail the focus mark you

can simply put your hands on the lens

focusing wheel and change focus yourself

basically you've got auto focus and

manual focus happening for you at the

same time and if you want to completely

turn off your autofocus simply go to

manual focus autofocus is off and you

control the lens after that you have

focus area now this actually really does

matter so depending on what you're

shooting you're going to want to pick

different areas of your sensor for the

autofocus to work on if you're shooting

wide scenes pick wide if you're shooting

something that's pretty much sticking

around in one specific part of your

sensor pick zone and it's going to allow

you to pick different zones

on your sensor you'll see like a bunch

of boxes come up and it's going to allow

you to pick different chunks of your

sensor to have autofocus active in in

any other place autofocus will not be

active underneath that you have center

and basically it's going to pick the

very center of your lens and it's going

to have autofocus there but you can also

change the spot so what i mean by that

is if you go down below that you'll see

flexible spot and this will allow you to

pick a specific spot on your lens it

kind of works like center auto focusing

but allow you pick a specific spot on

your lens

and it will allow you to just pick up

here down here wherever and it will just

be catching autofocus in that specific

spot and basically if you understand

what i just talked about in terms of

photo mode you are going to get the most

out of your camera and get the highest

quality possible but if you're someone

that's shooting video it's honestly not

that much harder to set up simply flip

your cameras to the top and go to the

little square icon we talked about

earlier it's a film strip from way back

in the day and next up you want to go

back into your menu a lot of your

settings will be grayed out or will

change but that's okay you're in video

mode it's a whole new world

in menu tab 2 page 1 you'll see file

format

once you click file format you'll see a

bunch of things come up the main things

that we care about it is xavc 4k and

xavc-shd

this is sony's proprietary file format

they use for their cameras if you want

to shoot in 4k pick xavc 4k and after

that you want to go down to record

setting now

within 4k you'll have 30p or 24p

available to you now this might get a

little bit confusing

30p or 24p is referring to your frame

rate and 100m or 60m is actually

referring to the mega bit rate

for us we want to always pick the

highest megabit rate unless we don't

have enough card space so you want to

pick 100 megabits always 30p is usually

what you use for youtube or tv and 24p

is what you use for cinematic filming or

like short films and stuff if you want

something more cinematic go 24p for

youtube go with 30p and underneath that

you actually have snq settings now

something that i didn't show you guys

earlier is that this camera has a

dedicated slow motion mode specifically

if you want to shoot slow motion and you

want it to play back a slow motion in

your camera now i don't recommend most

people do this because snq mode does not

have the same quality as regular video

mode but in case anybody wants to know

snq mode you go in and it will allow you

to pick your record setting and frame

rate now the lower your frame rate that

it plays back at is the slower your

video looks so i'd recommend picking 24p

and then depending on what frame rate

you want or how slow you want it to be

pick 120 frames per second it will

actually tell you at the bottom if

you're getting five times slow motion if

i go to 30p you'll notice that now it

says four times slow motion so snq is a

useful mode in case you're trying to do

something slow motion and you want the

timing to be precise and if you want to

be in snq mode which is slow in quick

mode you want to flip your camera to the

top and you want to go down to the thing

that actually says snq once you're in

that mode that's when it'll do the slow

and quick recording otherwise it will do

regular recording but if you want to

shoot hd instead you want to go back to

file format pick

xavc-shd that's a whole mouthful and

you'll notice that within that you'll

get different frame rates from 120 all

the way to 24 frames per second this is

again just going to depend on what

you're shooting but you always want to

make sure you pick the highest frame

rate

now one more thing that i quickly want

to show you guys

is before we get into the quick menu is

that if you go back into tab one and you

keep pressing right

you'll actually get to something known

as picture profile and this is to be

precise tab one

page 11. wow these menus are so long but

once you're in picture profile you'll

actually be able to go into a bunch of

different

uh picture profiles here

and all these picture profiles are

identical they're naturally preset at

something else but you can pretty much

choose and put them to anything

so it doesn't matter which one you pick

but here you'll see different things

like saturation color mode all this

stuff now this is really complicated and

i go in depth on this in my sony a600

tutorial but just in case someone is

curious i showed the exact settings

there but what i do recommend doing is

playing around and figuring out what

gamma

and color mode looks the best the one

that i like to use for videos is

actually

i like to use cinema 1 2 3 or 4

and then for the color mode depending on

what i'm shooting i often go with pro

or

i'll go with s gamut this will give me

the most dynamic range and stuff again

this is a very long this is a very long

conversation i have but if you guys are

interested in the exact color mode i

recommend checking out my sony a6600

tutorial because that's more of a

professional camera and that's where i

put all this information but at the same

time it's nice to know that all these

picture profiles are available in a

beginner camera like this which would

normally be in a professional camera and

finally let's look at the quick menu in

video mode so once you're in video mode

you kind of have more or less the same

settings uh what i do recommend doing

when you're in video mode is switching

your video to continuous autofocus and

just leaving it there in video you're

always moving your subjects are moving

and that focus mode is going to give you

the best results but one thing that a

lot of people miss is you want to go

down to the bottom right corner and go

to exposure mode now this camera most

cameras are naturally set to like

aperture priority program and you guys

might notice that even though you're in

manual

even though you're in video mode you

can't really properly change your

settings so you want to make sure you're

in exposure mode

manual exposure and this way you're

going to get independent control over

your aperture shutter

iso all that good stuff all right so

earlier i told you guys i would show you

a way around not using that small little

button on the side to record video

basically if you go to menu page sorry

menu tab to

page three you'll see movie with shutter

if you turn that on now you can use your

shutter button to actually start

recording your video and it's going to

make your life and the life of those

people around you and all of your loved

ones a lot better because that button on

the side sucks

so something you've probably realized is

that the sony a6400 is not the easiest

camera in the world to figure out and

most cameras take a lot of time to learn

and if you really want to get

outstanding photos and videos learning a

menu is not going to help with that what

you really need to learn are the

principles of photography and video like

composition

lighting camera settings so if you want

to learn how to take your work to the

next level or you're simply someone

that's really passionate about

photography and video i highly recommend

checking out the camera boost course in

the link down below in this course i'm

going to show you everything you need to

know to go from being a beginner to

taking photos and videos that are

actually impressive and instagram worthy

so if you want to learn more and you

want to get started make sure to check

out the camera boost course in the link

down below that being said let's get

back into the quick menus alright so

something you probably noticed is that i

complain about sony menus constantly not

only in this video but like all of my

videos

um

it's a lot of menus man unless some

unless you're a professional there's

really no point in like dealing with

this menu but if you're a professional i

think these menus are totally worth

dealing with the last thing i want to

show you guys is if you go to the very

last tab in your menus with the star

because honestly this menu is the start

of the menus

um you'll see something called my menu

settings and within this menu you can

basically add whatever settings you want

to this one menu page and basically make

a custom menu so basically you want to

go down to add add item and then you can

pick anything

out of here there's 32 pages of things

to pick but

for the sake of just simplicity and fun

let's say i pick

autofocus drive speed

now that's just going to be added

and

let's pick another one audio recording

and it's at it so now when i go back

into my menu

you'll notice now that the same menu my

menu now has two pages one page which is

the second page is going to be for

adding items sorting item deleting

uh page all that stuff and now i have

both of those settings

in my menu one you can also

go here uh sort items like if you want

something

higher up or lower on the menu you can

do all that have fun make your own menu

but this is going to make your life a

whole lot easier well guys that's pretty
