Tips
ISO
The a6700 allows for Auto ISO with a minimum shutter speed setting, which helps prevent motion blur in low light.
Aperture
Use the front command dial to adjust aperture quickly while composing your shot.
The Sony a6700 features a dedicated exposure compensation dial on the top right. This allows you to quickly adjust the exposure without diving into menus, making it easier to adapt to changing light conditions.
Utilize the Focus Peaking feature (Menu → AF/MF → Peaking Level) to highlight in-focus areas with colored outlines, helping you achieve sharp focus when using manual lenses or shooting with a shallow depth of field.
The a6700's Picture Profiles offer creative control over your images. Experiment with different profiles like PP8 for a cinematic look, which can add a unique mood to your travel and street photography.
Activate the Silent Shutter mode (Menu → Shooting → Shutter Type → Electronic) to capture images without any shutter noise, perfect for discrete shooting in quiet environments or candid street photography.
The a6700's electronic viewfinder (EVF) displays a live histogram, allowing you to monitor exposure in real-time. This helps ensure your images are neither too dark nor too bright, regardless of the shooting scenario.
With the a6700's in-body image stabilization (IBIS), you can shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds without worrying about camera shake, which is especially useful in low-light conditions.
