So what's the difference between Auto Mode and my Custom Camera Settings? Slide the handle below.

Auto Mode Moose's Custom Settings

Auto Mode looks for the brightest parts of a scene and often leaves the primary subject dark and dreary. It also limits your creative control over things like autofocus, color temperature and depth of field.

Auto Mode Moose's Custom Settings

My Cheat Cards put you in control of exposure, white balance and autofocus, so that your images come out sharp, bright and colorful.

F.A.Q.'s

What is a Cheat Card?

Each Cheat Card includes my tried and true, custom settings for capturing a wide variety of subjects and scenes using the Sony a6300 and select lenses. By zeroing in on a specific camera and lens combination, I can provide you with very detailed settings, which improves your odds of capturing a keeper.

Will the Cheat Cards help me take better photos?

One of the biggest frustrations for most people is investing hundreds of dollars in a camera and feeling overwhelmed by the learning curve and underwhelmed by the results. The Cheat Cards eliminate any guesswork and provide a simple step-by-step recipe that puts you in the best position to take a beautiful photo. Even better, I'm available to answer any questions you might have along the way. So if a photo doesn't turn out quite as expected, you can email me anytime at support@cameratips.com.

Are the Cheat Cards foolproof?

I created the Cheat Cards for beginners and absolute newbies. Each scenario has simple step-by-step instructions for setting up your camera, along with some tips for capturing the shot. There's also a quick reference card that'll help you locate and adjust all the settings on your camera. If you get stuck, you can email me anytime at support@cameratips.com. My ultimate goal is to help you take better photos.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, of course. If for some reason you're not happy with the cheat cards, just email me at support@cameratips.com and I will refund your purchase no questions asked. Not only will you get to keep the set you originally purchased, but I'm happy to offer continued support with any questions you might have regarding your camera or taking pictures in a certain situation.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes, I offer a buy two get one free deal. To claim the discount, add three cheat cards to your cart, locate the "Got a code?" link just above the checkout button and enter the coupon code: B2G1FREE

Do I need to purchase cheat cards for all my lenses?

If you have lenses that are similar, say two prime lenses or two telephoto zoom lenses, chances are you don't need to purchase multiple sets. However, if you have lenses that are quite different, say a kit lens and a prime lens, then I recommend buying one for each. If you're not sure, please don't hesitate to email me at support@cameratips.com. I'd be happy to let you know which sets to purchase based on the lenses that you own.

What if I upgrade my camera in the future?

If you upgrade your camera to a new model, I'm more than happy to also upgrade your cheat cards based on the sets you previously purchased. Just email me at support@cameratips.com and I'd be happy to issue you a set of Cheat Cards for your new camera.

What's included with my purchase?

The Cheat Cards are organized into a single PDF file, which can be printed or viewed on many different devices.

How will I receive the Cheat Cards?

Upon payment, you'll be immediately presented with a download link. You'll also receive a follow up email with a download link for future reference.

Is it compatible with my phone, tablet or computer?

The Cheat Cards are compatible with all iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android, Mac and PC devices. If you can view PDF files using an app or program, then you're good to go!

How do I open or view the Cheat Cards?

On your computer: Open up the email with the download link and save the cheat cards in a location that can easily be found. Then double click on the PDF file to open it in Adobe Reader. If you don't already have Adobe Reader, you can download it for free here.

On your Android Device: I recommend first downloading the free Adobe Reader app. Once it's installed, open up the email with the download link. You should have the option to open the file using the Adobe Reader app, which will also save it for future reference.

What size are the Cheat Cards?

When printed, each Cheat Card is 2" x 3.5" inches (same size as a standard business card). When viewed on a mobile device, the Cheat Card fits to the dimensions of your phone or tablet. For those with poor eyesight, I recommend rotating your device to the horizontal orientation. This will enlarge the text and make it easier to read.

Can I print the Cheat Cards?

Yes, feel free to print the Cheat Cards at home or at a local print shop. If the print shop needs approval for printing, you can refer them to this page.

How do I print multiple Cheat Cards per page?

Open up the cheat cards in Adobe Reader, you can download it for free here. Then go to 'File' -> 'Print' and a print, dialog box will pop up. Under the 'Page Sizing & Handling' area, click the 'Multiple' button and select 6 pages per sheet. This will allow you to print multiple cards per sheet at the correct size.

What's the best way to laminate the Cheat Cards?

Once printed, each Cheat Card should be 4x3.5 inches (single-sided). Just fold it down the middle, glue or double-stick tape the blank side together and then laminate it. The finished card will be 2x3.5 inches, which is the same size as a business card...great for storing inside a wallet, purse or small camera bag.

Can I share the Cheat Cards with family & friends?

The funds I earn from these Cheat Cards go directly to supporting my growing family (wife, three young boys and a baby girl). If you like Camera Tips and would like to support me, I encourage you to direct your family and friends to this page so they can purchase the Cheat Cards for themselves. Thanks for your support! :)
