Hello peoples! I recently acquired a Sony A6400. Now I didn’t get it for stills, I got it mainly to start practicing video as I’m majoring in film.
Video I haven’t messed around with it all that much, but I’m pretty pleased with the results so far.
Stills tho…… I’m super disappointed. I think it has to do with that it has an EVF. I get EVFs have a lot of advantages, but those come at the expense of the user experience.
I was shooting some landscape just now, and the flip up screen is cool and all, but I COULDNT SEE MY SCENE. Like I had no idea what was actually in my shadows, and it was not conducive for taking good pictures.
Eye af and all the info is cool, but idk… I just don’t like EVFS for stills.
Yeah, EVFs are very different from seeing the live scene directly, and while I still prefer an SLR view, I use my Q2 more than anything.
One advantage has is that an EVF can see in the dark. One disadvantage is that there’s a lag and this gets worse in the dark.
It’s only over time and with practice that you can predict what’s going to happen.
