I have a Sony a6400 camera.   I have owned it for about three years.

Ever since I bought it, I was able to see the image and information on the video viewfinder display.

Since a few days ago, I am not getting any image on the video viewfinder display (solid black with no type).  I can see through and take pictures with the optical viewfinder.

The lens cap is off the lens.  I have tried two different batteries (fully charged) and am getting the same results.  Sometimes the image will come up on the video display (with type, battery health, etc,).  After I take a picture, the image on the video display goes away.

I have the camera set to auto exposure and autofocus.  I have the power set to on.

Please advise what I can do to get the images on the screen viewfinder.

Go into the menu and check the viewfinder setting. This will get you started.

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
