Sony a6400 Complete Auto Focus, ISO & Time Lapse Testing

Featured Sunday, 03 February 2019 13:51

Sony claim the a6400 has the 'Worlds Fastest Autofocus' - and my first video split people - so here is my COMPLETE AF testing.

 In my first video I made a mistake and only the footage showing AF-A was included, despite having tested all modes. 

This understandably led people to question the results I presented and coined the term AF-A Gate. It also lead to me being called a liar, a mirrorless hater... lots of silly things. So I got the camera back in and tested out the AF-C along with the new Real-time Tracking mode, as well as the time lapse and ISO performance.
