Sony A6400 Crash Course Training Video Lessons



I have already posted the Camera Operation of this course for FREE on youtube which you can find here: Sony A6400 Tutorial Training Video



Many have asked why I give away so much free information, and the main reason is I want to demonstrate I can help you learn your camera fairly quickly, and if you enjoy it, you would want to continue to invest in your Sony A6400 education. Thats all there is to it!




This Course comes with a 1-hr photography crash course that I normally charge $20 for. It will get you up to speed in no time on the photography basics, including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, Depth of Field (DOF) composition, digital files, lighting, compression, histograms and more!



The Sony A6400 Crash Course topics include:

- Landscape Shooting Techniques (Stills and Video) With the Sony A6400

- Interval Shooting

- Time Lapse Movie

- Using Filters

- Sports Shooting Techniques Settings & Techniques

- Basic Portrait Lighting

- Portait Techniques

- Which Flash System to Invest in to Save over $600

Thats all there is to it!



Here is the Cover, more details below!


The Canon RP Crash Course is designed primarily for beginning and intermediate photographers who are just getting started with their new camera, and are struggling with the many & complex skill sets needed to really take advantage of the RP. One of the most common things I hear when I teach my students is "I had no idea I could do that!".



I've already started working hard on this, and here is a still from just part of the Sunset Shooting lesson (I will show you exactly how I took this on my Canon RP):




Cameras are very, very complex, but on top of that all, you still need to know about many other things, the photography basics, lighting, composition, digital files, planning & troubleshooting, customizations, menu systems, and then the different philosophies for all the types of real world shooting. It took me about 2 years of trial and error (we didnt even have youtube when I started back in 2003!) and this course is designed to cut that learning curve into a few hours. I promise it will be the best educational investment you can make for your new Canon RP.



This Course comes with a 1-hr photography crash course that I normally charge $20 for. It will get you up to speed in no time on the photography basics, including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, Depth of Field (DOF) composition, digital files, lighting, compression, histograms and more!
