Tips for Your Camera
- Your Sony a6700 has in-body stabilization (~5 stops). In this scene, you can often handhold at slower shutter speeds than the table shows.
These values are general recommendations. The wizard gives you values optimized for your Sony a6700 and lens — plus step-by-step menu paths.
Camera-Specific Tips
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
