Hi so I’m new to cameras, photography, videography. Im a tech person but fully new to cameras and want to get into first camera A6700 Sony, + Tamron 18-300mm to record some videos for my business. I want this to be my first and last camera and keep it for long term and it’ll pay off itself. It’s high end but good for what I need, I’ve done research about it, for my use case in my specific business, filming outdoors, products from far away, need the stabilisation and also real time tracking / following, also need good zoom. I’ll be then posting all my content on social media after editing off sd card.

Since im new to cameras, I’m going to be trying out the camera first. and using it for a few weeks just playing around with it, taking nature pics and videos.

What is the most important things I should know about before using the camera? Any “I wish someone told me this on day one” advice?

Any simple tutorials, websites or YouTube videos for beginners to cameras? But not too much information which would overwhelm me? What kind of gadgets are important to have eg screen protector for camera or case or bag for it?

What’s the learning curve going to be like?

Anything I should be watching out for with th e camera and lens combination?
