Hey Alpha Shooters, welcome to my new channel which focuses purely on everything Sony Alpha related. Over the coming months I plan to publish simple "how to" guides to help you get the most out of your Sony Alpha cameras, as well as lens and camera comparison videos, reviews and lots of sample photos. It's going to take a while for me to find my feet around here, but I'm looking forward to this new adventure. Happy Shooting! Tim (www.alphashooters.com)

The camera is Sony A6600, which focuses on humanistic photography. Please recommend Sony 70-300 or 70-350 or Tamron 70-180 70-300 and other lenses for future use when upgrading to full frame cameras. Thank you
Thanks for the info for setting up the memory cards for Jpg and RAW. I've spent a over 2 days on and off trying to look this up to no avail. Then found you here. Great work.
If you have in both (photo and video) Recording Simultaneously in 2 SD card of the same size (128GB). What does Auto Switch Media option when it is enabled (ON)?
Thank you for this comparison video and article. I actually own both plus the 200-600 but I’ve given some thought to reducing the herd to get some money back to use on another lens. Originally bought the 100-400 when it was the only longer zoom and have even used a teleconverter on it. Later added the 200-600 and then eventually upgraded my version 1 GM 70-200/2.8 to the GM II. Currently only own the 1.4X converter but have given thought to adding the 2X since it means only having to travel with it and 70-200/2.8 GM II which I use for both indoors and outdoors. Take care.
Being a novice as well as normally simply using my iPhone for basic photos, your video on "what storage discs to purchase" is nothing short of spectacular. Really well done AND btw, not rambling on! Just right. I now feel like an expert when I go out to purchase cards. Thank you and consider me a new, loyal follower. Best. Tony
thanks, what a straight forward easy to inderstand video. I can now use recall 2 which is set up for portraits and simply switch between animal and human eye detection - brilliant!!
Have you ever encountered these settings reverting by themselves. I set them up like shown, RAW to both cards, I rotate between M, S, A modes and when i change to them, they seem to forget what they were set to. Ive the latest firmware, Ive tried all of my cards too
Can you record different video file types simultaneously? If you have a fast card on slot 1 and shot 10bit there and 8bit on slot 2 on a slower card for example
Amazing video! Hmm I wonder what I am doing wrong. I got the Sony a7c ii (basically the Sony a7iv but compact) and the 200-600, and I can spam take photos at 1/2000 in good lighting conditions with birds at the same distance as your kites, and pretty much all of them come out soft. Especially if the birds are flying against the backdrop of a blue/white sky. I don't know at this point whether this "softness" is actually softness or just exposure insufficience because of the bright sky backdrop. You mentioned you set the tracking sensitivty to high, shouldn't it be low? or are we talking about two different things. I have set mine to 1 out of 5 because that says "Locked On" which I assume dmeans it wont so quickly change focus to branches and other stuff that may come in the frame
Hello , Between a Sony 200 - 600 mm lens And a Sony 100-400 F 4.5 - 5.6 with a multiplier of 1.4 to use on a Sony A7 IV which of the two solutions is better for sports photos at night with very good lighting?
Great video...but...Its the Sony 200-600/5.6-6.3 for me...Bit of a price price difference and I already have the Sony fe 70-200/4..(both used with A7C bodies)..Cheers
Thanks Tim, I had this set up a while ago, but after a recent service it had reset to factory settings. I could not for the life of me work out how to set back to dual card set up. Thank you now it's sorted and I'm subscribed.
