The fact that he’s contributing 2 hours of tutoring deserves a like.
The fact that Sony's UI is such a complex mess deserves a down vote. He should start by suggesting that there are simpler cameras to operate.
I wanted 2 and a half hours. Instant dislike
i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Nixon Elian Instablaster :)
@James Major I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Michael, I'm a professional speaker and educator and I can say without reservation that you have a gift for teaching. You move quickly through topics, you're exceedingly clear, and you know how to explain things in a way that works for both a beginner and an expert. Bravo. Keep up the good work!
Jamie Turner thank you Jamie!

Dude, you are a prince. As an adult who finally has the time and money to pursue a lifelong interest in photography, this is exactly the type of video that has value to me. Organized, logical, and also slow and thoughtful for someone who is also learning basic photography principals at the same time as learning a complex piece of kit- basic principals that are often taken for granted in other youtube camera tutorial videos for specific cameras- so this is a real breakthrough video for me. You are a true teacher, thanks man!
newjackvideo am exactly in same position as yourself Thank you
I was almost halfway through then I realized that I don't even own a camera, but love Michael's content and his way of explaining.
Thank you Pranay!
Lol.
Me also!
Thank god! I read your comment in the start of video and realised that I too don't have one..
And al along the 2h teaching not a single EEEE or Humm or AAA... you are a gifted teacher and you rock !
I have just bought my a6400 and was intimidated from all of the things that make this camera so “complete”. Now thanks to this very well explained tutorial I am all set to start playing with my new purchase. Thank you so, Valentina from Italy
Awesome. Learned more in 45 minutes than in watching 45 days of KZhead on the subject. An educational gem. Thanks for putting in all the work.
My sincere pleasure! When you are ready for the full course, let me know!
It’s shocking how many times I’ve rewatched parts of this video
Yup!
It wont be if you r a beginner like me, i know i will be returning to this tutorial for a long while untill i know enough to take better pictures. Thanks God we have this free tutorial. I cant afford a real class. So KZhead is my go to class.
This is fantastic!!! I’ve had Nikons for years. I bought an early Sony mirrorless, and got frustrated because it was so hard to figure out, and happily went back to Nikon. Then I went to a full frame Nikon, and it really was a big, heavy camera. Not much fun to carry anywhere, and I found myself using it less and less. I thought I’d just use my cellphone, but it’s not the same as a DSLR camera. The a6400 has now been around for about 5 years, and I just bought one. I love the size and the weight! However, I hardly knew where to start, and I couldn’t find any good directions online until I came across your video. Thank you so much!!!
Same here Pranay! I’ve been looking at the A6400 and I’m a newb. Wondering if I was in over my head but this instruction is insightful, informative and inspirational! Great job MTM! You’re obviously still connected to where you started back in the day. Sony should be shadowing you! Thanks so much for your coaching...
A6400 just came in a week ago, thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this. It really took me from complete amateur, guessing my way through the menus and features, to actually feeling I understand my camera. You rock! :)
Simply a great job on this Michael. Best insight into the A-6400 I’ve come across on YT and I’ve watched them all. Thank you.
Great tutorial! everything I needed to know
Thanks a lot! You speak in a very nice way that a foreigner can understand well! Greetings from 🇧🇷
I watched this even before buying the sony a6400! Helps a lot specially if you are used to shooting with canon. Thanks Michael!
Man i have to say that i appreciate this video. I've been doing photos for about 2 years and had not received such indebt information on a camera and the functions.watching this has given my wife a real detailed look into how to work our equipment properly. thanks so much. so awesome
Thank you Michael! Your tutorial is priceless. I just bought a 6400 after a year of research. I'm using your lessons to understand the camera. You have presented it all so well. This is a Master Class. You deserve a Gold Medal.🥇🥇🥇
This tutorial is outstanding, the best starting point for anyone who wants to decipher the many mysteries of the Sony a6400. Thank you for taking the effort to make this tutorial.
I just got my A6400 today and this helped me a LOT getting used to the features and system of the camera! Thank you so much, you did a great job, since I understood everything :))
just bought a 6400, after having a bridge CANNON. great video. God bless... many thanks. saved me huge amount of time of troubling....
Infinite love for this dedication. I bought a new cam today and couldn't find a single precise tutorial to get me started This is just lovely. I would surely take your course too soon.
I just got my a6400 and this helps so much, thanks Michael, you break it down so even I can understand. :)
Great video...just bought my camera for school and this is making things much easier!!!
This video is incredibly helpful, you are a fantastic teacher Michael.
What a gift Michael, thank you so much. Good job.
Wow, Michael, I think my brain exploded (but in a good way). Thank you, sir, for taking the time to share your advanced knowledge in a cogent manner. Kind regards, T. Phoenix, AZ USA
Thanks for mentioning the attachment that can move the mic over and not block the screen!
So glad to see this imformative video before I decide to buy sony a6400. Everybody keeps saying that sony's menu is quite confused, horrible and not friendly to users, but after watching this video, everything is clear for me! Thank you so much.
Thank you. Just got mine yesterday and this has really been helpful.
Finally I understand my camera! Thank you very much for taking the time to put together this video. The EV explanation alone is gold.
Great presentation and overview. A LOT of information to take in. Thank you! I am a new user so I plan to repeat this lesson again soon as well as take a look at all the other videos you have for the a6400.
This guy deserves an award.. thank you so much :)
Awesome Tutorial as a guy who lives buy the red/green method ( throw out instructions immediately ) this was great. Pace was great content was plentiful. Thank you for your time.
Man this is the most useful and well made tutorial I have seen on the a6400 camera, the one I just purchase. And all together it is so useful for starter photographer like me. Congratulation and thank you for your excellent job. Really thank you. My a6400 will have a new friend, me, and all this is because of you !
Very useful tutorial, and I'm waiting for my A6400 to come, which should be very soon now.. Once my camera come, I'll watch this video again for sure.
just bought a Sony a6400 and stumbled upon this channel. What a life saver!
Great video thanks for posting. Even as a Sony A9 user I learned about the A6400 features :)
thanks Michael, very professional! Used your guide as my basic after purchasing this camera.
My 6100 arrives tomorrow, I am so happy to have come across this tutorial.
The best tutorial I have ever seen. Watching from Bangladesh. Thanx a lot, sir.
Thanks for your Time, great to learn without reading! Greetings from Germany
This is what I have been searching for! Great Vlog and lesson.
Thank you so much for this! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in testing my new camera out now.
This is so helpful i just got this camera!!!!! Thank you Mike
Thank you so much for this tutorial video. This is really useful and helpful. It shows how much effort you have put to shoot this. And specifically you have given timestamp also to jump to individual topics. Thanks a lot
Best vidéo teacher ever
Tuned in as a second hand a6000 owner thinking much of the functionality will be the same. It is. This is excellent. Thank you 👍🙏
Michael, your video is a great help for those who have an a6400, thanks for your time and effort friend.
The greatest reviewer in youtube! One thing to add. The a6100 has less settings in the last tab. It has a page less of options.
Can't believe I finished the 2 hour training tutorial, It's quite informative and to be honest I need to get back on the course to review as my brain started to explode. hehe. Thank you for this awesome video.
A very helpful content as i own a Sony A6400 thank you very much.
Awesome .. explained in detailed and a well organized manner. I have Sony a 6500 from last 6 months and this video helped me a lot ..Thank you very much Mike.. I would recommend this tutorial to all new Sony alpha users.
Thanks for this comprehensive walk-through of the a6400 camera. I am about to upgrade from my NEX-6. I think I'll buy the a6400...
A big " thank you ' from me to you my friend for this beautiful video
Thank you very much, this is very very helpful.

Thank you Michael for this excellent tutorial which provided excellent detail on all the camera functions. You were very thorough! I just ordered the crash course tutorial. I look forward to these next tutorials!
Thank you for your support Eric
I am a beginner and your tutorial is the best one I have seen till date.thanks a lot sir.
Very nice and very smooth and easy to follow
I just got this camera - this video was outstanding - sure as hell taught me a lot. some say it was long. But when u are a neophyte it was great. Thumbs up for the Maven
Same shoes here.

Thanks a lot! Very well explained, useful tutorial!!
Great video man! Super informative! Thanks!
This is an amazing resource. Thanks so much. I don't own the 6400 yet, but am seriously thinking about it. I need people to convince me to purchase it now rather than waiting for the next version? The more info I get upfront the better I'll be about making a purchase decision. For the time being I'm enjoying my other two Sonys.
Thanks for the robust course
AMAZING JOB! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy teaching and sharing my ideas over the internet / youtube. Learning the basic functions of my 6400 and the tips you share here along the way. My videos are more of a daily Vlog and also live onsite recordings of vehicle repair. I am purchasing your crash course now!
Best video that showed me everything
Great video! Please note that the Focus point does not change during on the touch screen if it set on WIDE AREA (you get a weird "Spot Focus" message). It has to be set on "Flexible Spot". Also you should add the 1:53:33 Func. of Touch Operation which I was trying to find. Well done.
Looks like you posted a while back however this was extremely valuable. Thank you!
Thank you sir. Great video, helped me a lot.
I bought a6400 with the 18-135mm kit and bought 50mm lens! I’m a begginer and Made my first video with it! 50mm is amazing!
I got the a7ii. This is similar. Thank u for this tutorial.
Thank you just the Sony a6400 great lessons
^You are amazing! Thank you for all this. Two questions - just to confirm after Auto Mode… you think A Mode is the first good thing to learn( I’m short on time to learn the cam as I just got it before an event😱) and if I care about videos just for family video and don’t want to take up lots of space which video setting should I use?( 30p100m? 30p50m? Etc)
Thank you for posting this outstanding content .. helped me a lot.....
this is great, thank you so much!!
This sort of marketing is the best. Provide best content and a lot of it. If the reader wants, he can pay for the rest of best content. I'm going to make a purchase soon. Excellent quality educational meterial
Thanks that’s very helpful ❤
very informative! Thanks alot Mike! This video saved my A6400 from being returned to best buy today 😆
1:05:00 "I don't know how it's possible for a beginner to know all this stuff" You explain it really well. I think after this, it's a matter of knowing when to apply what. But your video is incredibly helpful. Thanks man
Just sold my a6000 and bought the 6400. Some reviews indicated menu was simplified...not! This tutorial is just what the doctor ordered. I loved my 6000, I’ll get there with this one now too.
