Sony should include a QR code which leads directly to this video in the instructions, enclosed in the packaging of the camera. Bravo.
-
Just paid for a class on this camera yesterday and came across your video today. Learned so much more from your video than what I learned yesterday. Thank you for putting this together.
-
This is my first camera. I just wanted to say thank you for what you do. You are a gem of a human.
-
This is REALLY WELL DONE. For my 1st day of ownership of an A6700 - this guide has been invaluable -- Thank you
-
This is unbelievably helpful, and I'm incredibly grateful for your taking the time to do this. For 30 years I've been shooting with film or with a camcorder form-factor so when I picked up this little Sony sweetheart I was overwhelmed by the myriad of new options. This is exactly what I needed. You rock.
-
8 years with my A6300 and I was happy. However I now have the A6700 and I am blown away with all great advances. Your "Beginners" guide was so helpful. Thank you for the excellent overview. My challenge is if I can remember more than two of the features. 🥴
-
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to film this video. You explained everything in detail, which is exactly what I needed. Amazing video!! Thank you again
-
Finally a proper how to use guide for beginners with clear and precise information. It is very hard to find a video like this. I've seen some others and they all tell you how you should set up your camera based on what they think it's best. So thank you for not going down that same path.
-
Thank you so much for taking the time to go over all of this. Extremely helpful 🙏🏽
-
This was awesome!! Just ordered mine and I can't wait for it to arrive. My first "real" camera also. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this.
-
Great video man.. Just bought this camera.... Learned a lot from this vid
-
Thank you for all of your hard work creating these videos. They are beyond helpful, you do a great job!!! Thank you very much
-
Bought this camera with a nice starker kit yesterday. As someone new to photo (and my interest: videography) all the options are quite overwhelming. Thank you for taking the time to record this. You explain it all really well, in a nice pace and easy to follow (with some retries ;)). Already feel comfortable handling the different options. Looking forward to advancing to shooting in LOG so I can nicely combine the Sony footage with my drone's footage. You have yourself a new follower!
-
I never comment but I just got this camera and was a bit nervous and overwhelmed by all the options but watching your video literally made me figure out everything even tho it’s my first camera ever, thank you good sir.
-
I really enjoy your style in how you teach and do tutorials. Thank you for this!
-
I just received my A6700 today and watching your video. Its very informative. Thanks.
-
I saw a couple of videos on setting up the camera for beginners. This is by far the most simple and effective video for people just starting out with their first camera. Thanks Jason!!
-
Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to help get new Sony owners up to speed to use this great technology. Much appreciated 😀
-
wow this video is amazing, thanks so much for this video, genuinely appreciate this since got the a6700 a month ago, and this has helped me out a ton for features that i didnt know, and its really really helped out, so thanks!
-
This is THE Video you need to watch if you are new to Sony Alpha 6x00 or specifically 6700 . Even after 1.08 hours, there is so much more that this camera offers were my thoughts. However, this video is apt for me to get started ! Great job there!
