Sony should include a QR code which leads directly to this video in the instructions, enclosed in the packaging of the camera. Bravo.

I’m bet there’s thousands of people like me out there that want to use a good camera, buy one, but just get overwhelmed by the options and (seemingly) complicated process of setting apertures and shutter speeds and ISOs and, on top of that, six million options in the menus! “Can it really be this complicated to take a photo!?” Absolutely super video. Appreciate there’ll always be a certain degree of trial and error for the new user but this video is pitched perfectly for new users like me. I’ve been looking at the RX10 iv but the chap in the shop upsold me to this camera saying “you’d be getting a way better camera for not much more money” with the sigma lens. It weighs loads less and I feel much less intimidated by it so looking forward to getting out and about and shooting! Thanks so much for this video it’s awesome and I’m sure I’ll be watching it a few times as I get to grips with my new toy!

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 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.

This is REALLY WELL DONE. For my 1st day of ownership of an A6700 - this guide has been invaluable -- Thank you

This is my first camera. I just wanted to say thank you for what you do. You are a gem of a human.

By far the best tutorial I have come across in the 25+ videos I have gone through in the past week since I bought my camera. Other videos gloss over the mechanics of navigating through a complex web of cascading menus and focus on the purpose and impact of various camera settings. For me, menu navigation was the biggest stumbling block. By offering a set of prescriptive suggestions for different situations, this video also provides a great starting point. Then it point out the impact of individual options to experiment with. Just what I was looking for.

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.

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. 🥴

As always, brilliant, clear, and interesting instructions. All reviewers should come here and take notes on how to present.

I want to echo the point made below. I was overwhelmed by the capabilities of this camera. Having watched your video, in stages, I now know may way around the camera where formerly I felt rather lost! If you are moving from a camera with more traditional features to this camera with modern electronics and AI, watching this video is so helpful. I also like the way no previous knowledge is assumed so that any knew modern features are fully comprehensible. Five stars 😀

Hi Jason, I just wanted to say thank you, I bought my camera in japan because I live here but I didnt know sony just include japanese language in this country. So thanks to your video I was able to configurate my camera and figure out where things are. Negative point for Sony Japan.

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.

again this is a free tutorial best ever for 6700, very clear the language and simulations

I just bought this camera today and thank you so much for this video

Just wanted to drop by and extend a huge thank you for your incredible tutorial video on the Sony Alpha a6700. Your knack for breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand concepts is truly commendable. I was blown away by the depth of information you provided, making it a breeze for me to grasp even the most intricate details of the camera system. Keep up the fantastic work 😎🤩

The true beginner guide video. Very simple for easy to understand, clean tutorial, very organize, very informative and effective step by step technique. My respect to you Sir Jason!! Thank you for this video guide.

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!!

This camera is the A7R5 of the aps-c lineup of cameras. Been setting up the camera to shoot bees in action on my shrub. Took a while, made a number of errors, more like not paying attention to my settings. Now this beast locks on bees and tracks them as they dart around. Getting lots of great sharp hits. Surprisingly the lens I am using for this task is the 90mm 2.8 macro lens. Not only is it fast in focusing, but it is also razor sharp. It makes the a6700 sensor shine even more. I think as people get used to the tiny body, they will appreciate not having to lug a heavy FF body around. It is so small that people will not notice it, allowing you to take pictures with no one noticing.

Thanks for breaking everything down so a newb like me can understand. I’ve had my KZfaq channel for over 3 years and finally going to try and step up my camera game. Cheers man. See you on the trails sometime.

I just received my A6700 today and watching your video. Its very informative. 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!

thank u so much fir this there are a few poeple on utube who actually sells good stuff good knowledge and ur one of them happy too u so into teaching ur audience rather than thiinking abt the duration and views and aal that was very helpfull love from india

Thank you a lot! This is perfect guide for me because I've just bought this camera and have no experiance with photo camera.

Jay, I purchased my a6700 today and it will be delivered on Sunday. I shot film for manny years, but it has been 20 years sine then so it will be like my first camera. I found your video today and the information is excellent. I will be using this to set up my new camera when it arrives. Thank you!!

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!

Jason. Amazing video and so nicely explained. I am planning to buy the A6700 and mostly probably the 15mm f1.4 for talking head videos. Upgrading from shooting with my DJI osmo pocket 3 and Samsung S24 Ultra. Once again thank you for the amazing video. Keep it up.

Thank you for all of your hard work creating these videos. They are beyond helpful, you do a great job!!! Thank you very much

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.

Just watched this video right after receiving my new a6700. Super in-depth guide, thank you!

Sony is a nice brand so does this video,very useful and impressive

Incredible helpful and in depth. I haven’t finished watching it all yet but it has been helpful so far!

My first camera. Absolutely amazing video to get me started. Very thorough. Exactly what I was looking for. Followed you as you went with mine in my hands.

best set up video on youtube

This might be my first real camera and you just got a new sub. Thx!

Longtime Canon user trying to learn how to do the basics on my new a6700. Just had a breakthrough. The trash can turns touch screen on and off when you are in the photo mode. I haven't watched a lot of the video yet Looking forward to watching the rest of it after my big break through.

Great video man.. Just bought this camera.... Learned a lot from this vid

I saved your video I started saving money for this camera i will reply to this comment back when i get this idk how long it will take because i am a student.

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

Insanely helpful!!! Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to go over all of this. Extremely helpful 🙏🏽

Thank you Im considering this camera. This KZfaq explained the camera's cabalities very well

Thank you so very much Jason for such a comprehensive review of the Sony a6700.

I am going to be buying this camera and i thoroughly enjoyed what you did here. You have such a great way of explaining features by giving context to them. I think you really have a great talent. I'm subscribed and will watch some of your other videos as well.

I have had my camera for 6 years and didn't know about the dial to adjust for my blurry vision. So needless to say... thank you!

I really enjoy your style in how you teach and do tutorials. Thank you for this!

This was a very helpful video! I really like how you explain things and also remind on important details here and there to ensure it's understood. I have some idea how to take pictures in M mode, but I'm for sure no expert or even close. This video was very good to follow (I'm not a native speaker, but no issue), since I had some idea what you refer too, but not that much.

Amazing video! Very helpful. My 6700 is expected to be available Sat for pickup and this really helped me prepare.

Thaks for making such a great video and it really helps me a lot as. Beginner of Sony A6700. Appreciate your efforts.

What a huuuuuge help. Thanks Jay!

I just got a camera, big thanks from me, from Thailand. That's helpful

thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight in such a simple and beginner friendly way. its intimidating jumping into this space and you have made it alot easier - THANK YOU.

The best beginner guide i see thank you

I will take it ❤ thank you for the guide 😊

This is a great video, thank you so much! I just purchased the A6700 and this has been most helpful. I have learned so much from you already. I have book marked this video to refer to again.

battery on charge but just got the sony a6700,,,, took few shots in my living room low light .. no card yet ..wow .. its a killer..put the sony 70 350 on full zoom wide open 50 sec auto iso..the zip on my suit case looks nearly macro ...

Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to help get new Sony owners up to speed to use this great technology. Much appreciated 😀

What a fantastic video. Thank you!

Fantastic video, very informative. I've permanently added this to my Bookmarks Bar, because I KNOW i'll be referring to this again and again. Thank you!

What a brilliant video. I will favorite this because I will need it in a couple of weeks. I currently have a6400 but upgrading to a6700. Lot of similarities between these 2 models but also lot of new features on the a6700 that I will be excited to try out. The new menu layout seems great! Can't wait.

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!

Thank you, this is incredibly useful

Made it to the end! Thank you for taking the time to make this.

You just earned a Sub... Thank you. I just got mine today, and I am watching this video to get to know my new camera. (even though I have used mirror less cams for quite some time). Awesome work... Thank you

Fantastic intro video!

Thank you so much! Please give this guide for the A7C II when it comes out.

Got the a6700, overheating in 4K on one shoot, returned immediately. Loving the fx30. Don’t waste your time with this camera unless you just want to take pictures. It’s a heating brick with not a single vent.

Great starter guide. Many thanks for posting. Slightly disappointing that the panorama function has been dropped from A6700. That was a fun and convenient mode on the older models. Hopefully Sony add it back in a future firmware update.

What a legend. Awesome video

Arrived yesterday and went outside to experiment... Amazing..after couple of hours I start to handle very all the buttons. Impressed by this amazing camera! Considering I jumped from Sony alpha a300 😀

thank you it's super helpful to have this being a beginner noob. the simple explanation helped me absorb more than I thought I could. I was wondering if you would make a video specifically creating settings for indoor outdoor and sports or even video settings at a beginner level using the 123 on the dial. while explaining your thought process on changing the iso/aperture and the shutter speed? it would be insanly helpful.

Wow Jason, your videos are Excellent! Such detail and so well explained. Great pace and demonstrations. I first saw your video on the Sony RX10 and now switching to a6700 + Sigma 18-50 f2.8 & Sony 70-350G. Your guidance helps a lot. Also your a6700 Review was awesome. Just wonder does a6700 IBIS work with Sigma 18-50 (with no Stabilisation). Thank You.

cant wait to get mine Monday - thanks Jay, this vid will help, coming from a Nikon (5100) background.

well done, thank you for the great explanation.

thank you sooooooo much,wish you good luck!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

Hi Jason, big thanks from France 👍

Great video! I found it VERY helpful.

excellent video. I may have bit off a bit more than I could chew with purchasing this camera so i appreciate your indepth review. Do you have a video on updating the firmware? I see my firmware needs to be updated.

subbed, EXCELLENT WORK

thanks Bro, very clear and easy

Thanks for this video! Very helpful. Can you take photos without a lens? It's showing a grey screen without it. Working well with the lens attached though.

Super duper helpful! Thank you.

Hi again Jason, Thank you for such a quality explanation of a6700. Superb detail on 'Set up' menu. Can you tell me how to cancel Tracking/ /Auto Tracking? When I touch the screen to change 'Drive mode' - tracking flickers around the screen and Drive mode doesn't open. Ha, it'll be something simple, still getting used to the camera. Thanks again for your inspiring videos. Colin.

Just a note. The A6600 viewfinder cover does NOT work on the A6700. Also no charger in the 6700 package, and the A6600 screen protectors will NOT work on the 6700, but the A7IV will work on the 6700.

Superb Video Jason thank you 👌

A+ product. Great video to watch before I receive my camera. I just subscribed

I just got this camera as an upgrade to the ZV-1. I'm a disc golfer and am trying to be a big boy and use the manual setting to record round videos. Since I'm alone I have to do all my zooming in post. Filming outside, how do these settings sound for filming 4k/60: ISO as low as I can go, Shutter Speed 1/125, Aperture ~6?

Thank you so much for make this Video .

Thank you you did a great job

Thank you so much for the value provided!! 🤩🤩🙌🏼🙌🏼 Subscribed!!

Can you recommend a budget monitor that mounts to the hot shoe of a6700 that we can turn around and use while vlogging? Just want something bigger than the flip out viewfinder - thank you!

great tutorial ❤❤❤

Great Job, again! Thanks a Lot.

Jason, love the channel! Question, if you could have either (but only 1, not both) would you go with the Sony rx10iv or the A6700/sony 70-350mm/Sigma 17-50mm combo?

Awesome Guide! Thank you!

Thank you brother

thank you very much , god bless you

Thanks for the hints.

Great video... subbed! After 9 years I finally upgraded from my A6000 to the A6700. Huge improvement overall! Although, I'm having trouble enabling my IR wireless shutter remote. Where is this setting in the new menu?

Very helpful. Thank you. Cheers.
