I’ve just added a Sony A6400 to my kit. In this video, I power it up for the first time and walk through the initial configuration. My primary use for the A6400 is as a video and vlogging camera. So my settings slant toward that usage.

Settings I modified from the defaults, menu by menu:

Camera Settings 1

• File Format: RAW

• JPEG Quality: Extra Fine

• Long Exposure NR: Off (Why? Watch this video)

• Color Space: Adobe RGB

• Bracket Settings > Bracket Order: - -> 0 -> +

• ISO Settings > ISO Range Limit: 100 - 6400

• Face Registration: I registered my face

Camera Settings 2

• File Format: XAVC S 4K

• Record Setting: 30p 60M

• Zebra Settings > Zebra Display: On

• Zebra Settings > Zebra Level: 100+
