a6300 advice please

[Mikelian]

Hello.  I am a new user of the a6300.  I have 2 bodies, 1 of which will have the 18-135 lens and the second which will have the 70-400G attached via the LA-EA4 convertor.  I will be shooting mainly wildlife, from a vehicle, with the camera and lens resting on a bean bag.  My question/s are, what are the best settings to use on both set ups? On my previous a350 set ups I used the "sport" setting with the iso set to 800..Many thanks for your time in reading and for any replies.

You might want to try your 70-400 on the LA-EA3 adapter rather than the EA4: the 3 makes use of the excellent AF of the a6300 whereas the 4 uses an outdated separate AF module in the adapter and eats 1/3 of the light gathered. Setting ISO to 800 sounds like a waste to me, better set auto-ISO with a minimum shutter speed of e.g. 1/400 sec. If the light is good you'll use lower ISO's that way which will result in better images.
