Why am I getting so much compression?

I have just started taking RAW pictures with Sony a6400 + Tamron 18 300 I was expecting to get very big image but I think I am getting a lot of compression, higher than if I had taken the picture with my cellphone.

What could be the Cause? ISO is on auto

When we go out on a hike, sometimes my friends, who aren't photographers, get better pictures with their Iphones!!!

Hello, I am a beginner. I go out on hikes with non-photohrapher friends and bring my camera to hopefully get some shots. I am using a Sony a6400 with the kit lens. What baffles me, is that sometimes, especially in situations requiring high dynamic ranges(backlit)...my friends may just get a better p

Why do my photos not look as sharp as I thought?

Hey everyone, I'm a beginner in photography and was experimenting with the exposure triangle by taking some pictures of this lego star wars piece.

What I noticed is that when I zoom into the picture, the image is not as sharp as I expected. Is this normal?

Shot with a Sony a6400 + Sony 16-50mm f/3

Noob question: why film in 4K?

90% of the people on YouTube have no idea what they’re talking about But you wanna shoot 4K even for delivery at 1080p with the a6400 because the 1080p is awful. It’s line-skipped 4K so it looks really really really bad and blurry. If you’re shooting for work and worried about file sizes then charge

Short trip to Panama 🇵🇦

In January I traveled with 2 friends for one week to Panama and two weeks to Costa Rica. It was so interesting to see this different culture (I am from Germany). All of these pictures were shot in Panama with Sony a6400 and Sony 18-135 and Sigma 100-400. Sadly I shot everything in jpeg so I have l

Sony a6400 saturation issue?

Hi guys,

I’ve recently got myself a Sony a6400 and when shooting on auto mode in the mountains (with both my 16-50 and 55-210 lenses), my photos seem to be coming out oversaturated and with a particularly blue/purple tint to them. Is this to do with the snow vs. sky, white balance, some setting in

Noob question: why film in 4K?

I've set myself the goal of getting the best possible image out of my unimpressive kit (Sony a6400 Tamron 17-70), so I set the file format to 4K basically because everyone on YouTube said to.

As I sit here waiting for the massive files to transfer from the SD card to my computer where I'll edit th

RAW vs. JPEG

I have a Sony A6400 that I’ve been shooting with for about a year. I shoot RAW+JPEG because I’ve read about how much flexibility RAW gives you in edit.

My thought process for editing was to start with the JPEGs and kinda use the RAW files as “insurance”. For example if I under or overexposed an ima
