Optimize your Sony a6000 with these 5 settings 

Does anyone else also use these settings? Let me know!

I love that beep when it acquires focus!

Thank you! Very helpful for beginners like me whit a Sony A6000.

Very similar setting on my A6000 too! Great video, straight to the point! 🍻

Thank you so Much Alex! Really useful! I’ll start with those today!

Great Info Vid on these settings for the A6000 Alex! keep up the good work and shoot on friend. looking forward to viewing more. btw liked, subbed and notifications!

Hi! Italian follower here :) Super happy to came across yuor channel, I have an a6000 too but not lenses for now except for the kit one. I would really like to see a more detailed video about settings you use for photography, which mode you normally use for street shooting and what you suggest for videography. Happy life and stay safe ;)

Thanks man! This was very helpful.

Thanks! man I hate that orange focus light for years, especially during the time taking my kids' photo during their sleeping. Finally I learned how to get rid of it.

Thank you. This video helps a beginner

Thank you I definitely followed some of your suggestions esp the auto review, good one:))

Definitely do the more in-depth video. This was all very good information.

Exact the same like mine on all of my cameras a6000, A7RIII and Leica Q. Thank you for this!

Those are all the settings I change first thing whenever I get a new camera. It's funny, the a6000 is STILL one of the top selling cameras today, even 6 years after it's release! And the price isn't much different than when I bought it way back then, still a great deal!

I like the last two suggestions... I will definitely change those on mine

Hello, Romanian fellow here. I'm so happy I came across your channel while trying to find more about Sony A6000. You have such a soothing voice and helpful tips. Keep up the good work ^^

Pls give a tutorial on your accessories you used with sony a6000... :-)

Super helpful, thank you!

yo, btw, I'm really picky about who I subscribe to on youtube (i think I'm subscribed to three people), but I love your style and vids from the very first one. Keep it up homie, you're the real deal.

Thanks for the tips!

Definitely in depth video

So I just got my first A6000 and this gave me two things I wanted to change. The "auto review" I wanted to remove, and I also didn't want that autofocus light helper thing. So that was great!

Thank you Alex, same setting here but enjoy your video.

Thanks for this. It really helps me a lot. ✌😘

How do you like the a6600? Did you upgrade from the a6400?

Great stuff!.

Any idea how to get the focus setting when pushing the shutter button vs the center button on the jog wheel?

almost 1k subscriber dudes ... congrats ..

Peace and thanks to you Alex, that was very interesting =)

Hello thanks for the tip I have an A6000 with the 17-70 2.8 Tamron this is really fast for bsketball I shoot at Highschool here in Texas I allways use center but when I am under the goal using 17 mm what focus point should I use knowing the person is going to dunk do i just use live view and hope for the best and aim that direction becuase if I use the viewfinder I might get trampled over.

hey bro let me ask you a question. .what is the best mode for taking a strangers photo on a street is it aperture or the manual? hope you will response to my question, thank you.

Hi, very informative….Could this settings work to take food photos? Or do you have a video on that specific use? Thanks!

Is there a way to switch off the 'constant preview' ? I think it's on full manual mode but when I move the camera pointing from the ground to the sky the screen dims or brightens to assist.

great video

My settings are similar to yours. On the dial mode normally I go for aperture priority or shutter, also I turn off that screen description when you turn the mode dial.

Hello. How do manually rotate the lense so I can focus on products and blur them when filming?

Thank you. I watched it and I did everyone. I would like a review of more things to do. I once handed my camera to a photo buff and he did something that messed up the setting it normally had. It was what I saw on the display. The display was completely different. I had to take it to a camera shop to get fixed. So anything that would be a form of education on this camera would be appreciated. A whole video on video would be great. Another one would be on manual mode. How the big dial on the top relates to the screen.

Hey, Nice job, I use almost same settings..:) What is the lens mounted on your a6000 please? Looks very nice...

Nice Video. Thx for the tipps. I personally prefer to keep the Auto Preview switched on. I do a lot macro photography and often the preview screen shows something different than the final image looks alike. so for quick changes thats more useful for me. But I agree that there are situations where it makes sense to switch it off :)

Hi Alex. Are you also having difficulty connecting your A6000 to the Imagining Edge Mobile App? If you don't please upload some tutorials. Thanks.

Thanks ... can you recommend one of your videos covering the functionality of ISO, Aperture and a6000 as a web cam?

Thanks

Nice tip with the auto review! Mine was set for 2 seconds and rather annoying. It's now off! Thanks

Thanks.

The bonus one seems really interesting. It’s not like we could change the photo we took anyway.

I've missed so many shots because of the auto review function, I had no idea I could turn it off. Tanks!

What kind of lens did you use for the sony a6000

I have Sony a6000 can I use sigma 150-600mm Les for bird photography

To be fair Alex, to my knowledge you don't have to be in Manual mode to change these settings. It works in the Priority and Auto modes too I believe.

Where can I get that lens hood ? It Reminds me of the Fuji lens hood

Can the raw file imported to iphone and edited in the lightroom app?

Are you teach video about triangle theory ? Like exposure, diafragma.

personally I have always been used to the review setting and like it for a 2 second, if I want it gone just tap the shutter and go. I like to be able to take a quick look at my shot to see if there is anything I want to change

i hope you can do another video with more details :) another cuestion, wich aspect ratio is better? 3:2 or 16:9? that confusses me

I’m sure the a6000 isn’t the best option for night street photography, but it’s all I can afford at the moment. I read as long as I buy a good prime lens I should be ok. Any idea which lens is best for this camera with low light? Or overall best lens for different light settings? Thanks !

i really enjoyed this and your settings were so well explained .Right now I have mobility probs so a cam of this weight would be great . I do stills and video ( not a great 4K lover ) My videos are short and mainly of birds ,OK havinng mentioned birds what is the max optcal zoom and fastest speed .Finally I enjoyed your video as you are clear and don't over whelm at rapid speed .Looking forward to an answer .Have subscribed :)

thanks !

Hey brother need your help, can you please suggest me which is the best camera from these 3 options sony a6000, canon m50, canon 200d mark ii my use is both photography and videography. Or if you have any camera options under this budget then please suggest me

Can you show all your settings on the sony a6000 plzzzz?!!...

Hi! it is another topic, but I want to ask you. In "Creative styles" there are choices between "standard" and "vivid" (excluding other ones). So, when i point the camera to a dark spot and set it to "vivid" i lose details in shadows, but if change it to "standard" i can see more details in shadows. Does it mean i can win 1 or 2 ISO stops in low light if set to "standard" as apposed to "vivid"? Or is it just my imagination? Sorry for my lame english Thank you!

Could you pls do a detailed version??

More in depth video please!

Excuse me man.. What are you setting Cinematik Bushcraft Camping for sony a6000.. because It s My new camera ☺️☺️ TURKEY 🇹🇷 👋

My a6000 shows 20 M for the largest image size, instead of 24M. Do you know why that is

What setting do you do when taking photos? do you do aperture priority, shutter or full manual?

Awesome video, just a few tips and some tricks too 1. Focus beep is not "useless" sometimes your camera especially low light settings will lock OUT of focus when you think it's in focus. The beep is assurance it's ready to shoot. Hunting is a problem and sometimes your subject ends up in front or behind the focal plain. 2. RAW is best especially for those who plan to go pro and want to retain detail. the flat files are excellent if you are shooting and plan on not editing in today's day in age. Not saying "raw or nothing" I'm saying you have more control, Use RAW+JPG or straight RAW if you are all about detail. 3. Go to the gear menu, option 1, turn off focus assist. THAT is useless. 4. Go to option 2 in the gear menu, turn on focus peeking or"Peeking level". Set it on high. Now when you focus, you'll see dots on your subjects so you can assure how much is in focus especially for us manual shooters. Those long time shooters from back in my day would know how without it(left - right - middle(snap)) but we are in a new age with a newer camera. peek it until you see most dots, that's dead on focus. Use focus lock ;-) ;-) 5. Gear menu, option 3, shut off "AF w/ shutter", Turn off Pre-AF 6. Gear - 4 - Turn ON AEL w/ Shutter. 7. Gear - 6 - "Custom Key Settings ... Turn ON AEL Button ---> AF ON (Now you have a back button focus and your Half press shutter is your AEL. You'll have much much better control over your shooting technique so the half press constant refocus no longer exists especially if your camera jumps exposures using spot. Your half press locks the exposure while your back button is your focus. Use the custom buttons to set eye focus.. NOW you will be shooting some ish left and right persistently especially faster moving subjects.

3:45 what happened on screen?

thanks - finally managed to get that shutter sound to mute lol #late

I use exactly the same settings on my A6000

Carbon fiber lens hood? VERY cool. Where did you get it? Also, do you normally keep the fixed 35mm lens on, rather than a zoom?

My favorite setting-screen brightness-> turn on sunny mode to make the lcd more crisp when shooting outside.

Can you please do PRO VS ENTRYLEVEL camera comparision

I literally got mines yesterday only for 375 that’s a deal can’t wait till I start my Journey

all the setting i use but sometimes i shoot just in raw........no jpeg

Hey bro what I need help is on my lighting problem I have a Sony a6000 and I have good lighting but sometimes the lighting goes automatically saturated to much bright byhiself so how I fix that to only have my lights be lights only and not me

Any way to eliminate the shutter sound of a6000....or should I try destroying the speaker

Would U get the a6400 or 6500 if the price is the Same?

How do you transfer photos to you smart phone

Tbh I was looking for more of settings that can make the most out of the camera for shooting whilst out and about. This seems to be more about your preference with the camera gestures lol

Which lense do you use in your sony a6000

can you share a picture with setting afterwards. like in instagram and the setting on the comment. would love to follow you there

Sony A6000 is so good camera... Even with kit lens and if yiu buy those cheap Chinese prime lens image turn into gold... I have 35m f1. 8 and man man photos are super duper good

Give me a hand! I have a Sony 6000 but the images always have a green tone in them... It's Boring. I spend a lot of time editing it, the automatic white balance doesn't seem to work perfectly. Before I had a Canon 60d

This camera can do slow motion

Hey send that kid lense over to me please or let me buy it from you how much is it?😃

Does sony alfa 6000 support 4K. IF yes how to change the setting

We still have that Sony a6000. Sad.

Vai dam koto ..

May the Lord keep sustaining you in His love Alex! “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:8-13 (NLT)

idon't agree your setting,s特别是af辅助声音和照明，声音可以提醒对焦成功，照明是自动的，你以为户外会亮？？ 不亮的，默认设置比你自己乱改好多了，建议你还是学好再来发视频，af照明这点

Ma non solo non si capisce ma non si vede nemmeno bene.

That background music is seriouly distracting and annoying
