Easy to use and set up. I used a few YouTube videos for helping with explaining each setting. The only thing that doesn't make sense and will hopefully be fixed in future updates is the human and animal eye recognition. You have to go in manually to specify which one your getting ready to photograph each time. It would be nice just to point at either and the camera automatically knows which is which. Animals and children wont wait for you to fumble your way through the menu to set the human o...

Great camera. upgraded from the a6000
Sony’s latest technological advancements are showcased in the new Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera. This lightweight camera is the midrange model Sony offers to both professionals and casual users who want to boost the quality of their work. The a6400 is a major improvement from its predecessor in terms of build quality, and boasts a 24.2MP APS-C sensor and a BIONZ X image processor, giving it an ISO range of 100 to 102,400 when capturing still images. It now comes with Sony’s fastest autofocus acquisition at 0.02 seconds and has 425 phase-detect AF points, allowing for better accuracy and more image area coverage. It also features "Real-time Eye AF" and "Real-time Tracking," which combines AI algorithms with autofocus techniques to yield better image and video quality. The a6400 can shoot bursts at 11fps while still having continuous autofocus. It can capture 4k footage at 30p and comes with a fully tiltable 180-degree LCD touchscreen. This degree of flexibility, along with its lightweight build, makes the a6400 attractive to on-the-go photographers, videographers, and vloggers alike. Available lenses include the E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens and the E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens.
Despite its compact size and light weight, the α6400 delivers speedy performance and a range of features you'd expect from a full-frame model. Whether you're taking still shots or movies, creative compositions or everyday selfie shots, you'll enjoy beautiful images that you'll want to share, on the go.
Fast and accurate autofocus lets you capture fleeting moments in stunning detail, thanks to a combination of innovative technologies. A total of 425 phase-detection AF points work in conjunction with contrast-detection AF to achieve a remarkable 0.02 sec* speed, while High-density AF Tracking Technology follows even erratically moving subjects.
*Based on Sony research, measured using CIPA-compliant guidelines, and internal measurement method with an E 18-135 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens mounted, Pre-AF off and viewfinder in use.
Highly accurate autofocus is now possible even in dark settings, thanks to advances in the AF algorithm. With this model, the lower limit on the AF detection brightness range has been reduced to EV-2* when in AF-S mode.
*At ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens
Real-time Eye AF detects and autofocuses on the eyes of your subjects when you half-press the shutter. Either the left eye, the right eye, or auto can be specified, and when AF-C is set, it maintains a stable focus even when part of the face is hidden, the face is backlit or the subject is facing downwards.
The camera's peaking function color-highlights the most sharply focused section of the entire image area when you're using manual focus. Blue has now been added to the display's other peaking colors (red, yellow and white) to improve the visibility of the focus peak areas when you're doing the delicate focusing required for macro or portrait shooting.
For sporting events and other situations where your subjects are moving quickly, keeping them in constant focus can make all the difference between catching an important, dramatic moment or missing it.
*Will be activated when [Tracking] is set in the [Focus Area] menu.
A newly developed subject recognition algorithm processes spatial information based on color, subject distance (depth), pattern (brightness), and face and eye information at high speed in real time.
When shooting a distant person in motion, the tracking system captures the whole body, and the focus area will seamlessly change between the face and the eyes according to the condition of the subject.
Once Touch Tracking is set in the menu, select your subject simply by touching the monitor. For either stills or movies, the camera will begin to auto-track the subject.
Thanks to the large sensor and the latest image-processing engine, you can shoot whatever you encounter in your everyday life, with beautifully crisp and clear images and natural colors, even in low-light settings.
The APS-C sensor features copper wiring and enhanced circuit processing that aid in boosting light collection efficiency. In conjunction with the image processing engine, this helps achieve superior image resolution and more natural depiction of textures.
*Approx. effective.
Improved noise suppression has led to cleaner image quality, even in dark scenes where high-sensitivity shooting is required. The native ISO sensitivity has increased to a maximum ISO 32000 (with expanded ISO sensitivity at a maximum ISO 102400 for stills). Noise reduction is particularly effective in the frequently used medium-to-high sensitivity range.
Image-processing algorithms inherited from full-frame cameras have led the way to more lifelike color reproduction. Human skin tones look more natural, and reproduction of plant colors has also been improved.
From full-pixel readout without pixel binning enabling high-resolution 4K movie recording to HDR (HLG)* and S-Log/S-Gamut** options and Slow & Quick Motion recording***, the α6400 is loaded with advanced capabilities to support your movie-making creativity.
*Connect this product to an HDR (HLG) compatible Sony TV via a USB cable when displaying HDR (HLG) movies.
**S-Log2 and S-Log3 are premised on processing pictures.
***Sound recording is not possible. A Class 10 or above SDHC/SDXC card is required.
Slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x) can be recorded in camera in high-quality Full HD, and no PC-based post-processing is required to view your slow-motion and quick-motion footage. Additionally, high bit-rate recordings of up to 100 Mbps in Full HD can be used to create high-image-quality slow-motion movies in post-production.
Fast Hybrid AF brings high speed, accuracy and tracking performance to meet the stringent autofocus demands of 4K movies. AF tracking sensitivity can be adjusted for either stable focus or responsive refocusing, depending on the nature of the scene, and Touch Tracking lets you initiate tracking of a moving subject simply by touching the LCD screen.
Newly introduced interval shooting, which is continuous shooting with a pause of 1-60 seconds between still shots, can be carried out within the camera. This can then be used to create time-lapse movies* on a PC using the Viewer app from the Imaging EdgeTM desktop applications.
External microphones can be attached via the microphone jack, and there is also an option for line input via XLR connectors using the camera's separately available XLR adaptor kit, which enables connection with various high-end microphones for professional-level audio.
S-Log shooting gives you flexibility to make more expressive movies by performing color grading in post-production. The S-Log3 and S-Log2 gamma curves feature a wide dynamic range (up to 1300%) that can help minimize blown highlights and blocked shadows. The S-Log3 gamma setting also provides an impressive 14-stop latitude.
*S-Log2 and S-Log3 are premised on processing pictures.
If you're shooting vlogs, the 180-degree tiltable LCD monitor is useful for framing your own shots. For sound recording, in addition to the external microphone jack there is also an optional XLR adapter (available separately) to facilitate the use of pro-level microphones to give you better audio quality.
The Touch Pad function allows you to smoothly move the current focus position while you're looking through the viewfinder. Simply slide your finger across the monitor until you find the desired point you want to focus on.
When you want to shift the focus, even to the periphery of the frame, Touch Focus does it with a simple touch to the monitor. With Touch Shutter, you can set the focus and trip the shutter with a single touch.
With the Touch Tracking function you can simply touch the monitor to activate Real-time Tracking for either stills or movies. The camera will instantly lock onto the target subject and keep it in constant focus.
An array of customization features, inherited from full-frame models, gives you greater flexibility and control over how your camera operates.
Each of the camera's eight keys and controls can be assigned to any of 89 functions and operations, with different operations depending on whether you're shooting still images or movies, or in replay mode.
On the custom settings screen, an illustration showing the camera's operable components shows you at a glance which button or switch you're assigning. When you're setting up the function menu, you can view the structure of the actual function screen.
My Dial lets you assign frequently used functions to the control dial and control wheel for faster access when you're shooting. My Menu allows registration of up to 30 different menu items for quick access to menu items you use often.
