Does my Sony a6300 keep a record of what speed and aperature a picture was taken?

I am learning my new (to me) Sony a6300. Today, in the snow I wanted to take a picture that captured the falling flakes in the mid ground of a view across a stream. I thought that by taking pictures with different combinations of aperture and speed I could learn what combination would work best. Do I have to carry a log and write down the specs on each shot, or does the camera contain a record of what aperture and speed were used? I looked in the book I have to help with the camera features, but couldn't come up with a description of what I wanted that provided an answer. If you can help me I'd appreciate it. Thanks for thinking about this.

Every camera in the market does.
Look up EXIF and how to get to that information in your manual, software or the web.

I agree with the EXIF comment
If your running windows and want to see it quickly, in file manager right click on a jpg file then select properties and then the details tab.

Yes your 6300 does record all settings from a picture, like Ron says read your manual, your software that you use to download your pictures will also have that information. You will not be able to read aperture settings if a manual focus lens was used.

If you're using third party lenses with no electronics and primarily manual focus, you will need to keep a log.

There are lots of ways to see the EXIF data. I mainly use Irfanivew (free). Get the plugins when you download it. Press I and/or E to get info about the picture on your monitor.

Many of the picture viewing software on windows computers allow you to view the settings when you are viewing the picture. You right click your mouse when the pointer is over the picture and select properties. There you will see the camera settings.

If you are using a MAC, open it with Preview > Tools > Show Inspector all Exif Data is there ... and sometimes a shutter count.

On my Canon cameras you can see the basic settings when you review any image on the rear LCD. The Info button controls what is displayed during the review of the images also. Sorry I don't know about the capabilities of your camera, but you may be able to find out about it in your manual. That could give you immediate feedback in the field without downloading your photos first if your camera can display that way.

On my iMac I right click on the photo and click on "get info" and all that information pops up.

Yes this is the fastest way if using a Mac.

Fastest way is to click the little "i" icon, if your pictures are first uploaded in Photos App.

On my a6000 I can see the data on the screen/eyepiece when taking the picture and on playback. Also if you use LR the simple data (ISO, f-stop, SS & focal length) is just below the histogram.

Besides the info provided by others, most cameras will have a setting where you can see the EXIF data on the LCD screen, often superimposed on the bottom or top edge of the images.
