LCD attachment on the Sony A6300
The LCD screen on the Sony Alpha A6300 is flexibly attached to the body. In particular, the LCD can be tilted vertically to facilitate odd-angle shots in landscape orientation. This tilting design is often preferred, for example, by street photographers to a fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment, as it is more unobtrusive during shooting than a screen that flips out to the side.
In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Sony A6300 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 922,000 dots. The panel is not touch sensitive.

One convenient feature of the A6300 is the presence of an on-board flash. While this built-in flash is not very powerful, it can at times be useful as a fill-in light to brighten deep shadow areas.
