Camera-Specific Tips

  • The a6400's electronic viewfinder (EVF) can display a live histogram, helping you ensure your exposure is balanced before you take the shot. This is useful in any shooting scenario to avoid over- or underexposure.
  • Customize the C1 and C2 buttons on your a6400 for quick access to your most-used settings, such as toggling focus peaking or switching Picture Profiles. This speeds up your workflow significantly.
  • The a6400's tilting touchscreen allows you to shoot from creative angles, like low to the ground or above your head, while still being able to see the composition clearly. This is especially useful for landscape photography.
