Sony a6000 Custom Settings Guide - My Favorite Hacks & Tweaks 

I just bought my sony a6000 and I'm really overwhelmed with all the features, buttons, and possible settings. Out of all the videos I've seen on setting up the camera, yours is the most useful, concise, and the easiest to follow.

Thank you for the quick tips

Thank you for making the videos, clear and easy to follow.

This video was so helpful. Your calm manner of speaking with clear instructions was exactly what I needed to learn how to custom set my Sony a6000. Too many other RU-vid instructors assume we know our camera and screen menus and talk so darn fast. I am subscribing to learn more from you. Thanks!

Awesome job

I've had the SonyA6000 since Christmas 2016 and I never got around to actually learning it and just relied on Auto everything. Now I am getting more and more into creative lenses and in camera effects so thank you for making these videos! They have helped me so much and I feel confident using my camera in all the different settings.

Thanks for this. I've had the a6000 for years, but keep finding new features.

Thanks man ! I bought your 50 f1.8 card!

You sound like Jim Halpert from the office! Also thank you for the video very informative.

New Sony A6000 owner here - this was so useful and clear, the manual on this thing is pathetic. You just got a new subscriber, hope you make more videos - see this was like a test channel or something. I like your pad too.

Just bought my a6000 thanks for this

Thanks for the great tips. I am still learning things about this camera. I have had it since it came out 7 years ago. Love the faster auto focus tip during video. Here's a great tip that I learned the other day. You can put a small piece of black tape on the bottom part of the sensor next to the viewfinder. This will prevent the camera from switching to the viewfinder view when you move the camera closer to your body. Now the camera will only switch to the viewfinder when your eye is looking through the viewfinder.

Niceee✍🏽

I have an a6400 so I assume your items for purchase will work for that as well, purchased the lens tips from you for the a6000. Enjoy your tips and tutorials. Simple, easy to follow and it makes sense. Thank you.

Good video. I looked at your Cheat Sheet page and I am amazed at the work you must have put into all the Cheat Sheets for all the cameras and lenses. I'm going to buy a set for my Nikon D750 and see what you have. I am an intermediate/advanced photographer but I must admit I haven't learned everything about all the menu settings. I usually do everything in Manual mode and if I have time I set my flashes and strobes to manual otherwise I use TTL if I'm moving around and shooting fast. I just bought my grand daughter a Sony a6000. She has a very good eye for composition but has an old Sony a200. If I like your cheat sheets, I'm going to buy her a set for her a6000. thanks, Monty

Dope

Great Chanel :) I also use a6000 but mostly for video :) all my last videos are made with it ;) thanks for your tips ;)

This was so helpful, thank you. I've had an A6000 sitting on my shelf for a year, but I've been too lazy and nervous to learn the tricks (I'm new to 'proper' cameras), as I'm usually happy enough with the shots from my phones (what a word). It's time I learn to use a proper cam, though!

I have C2 set to turn off the monitor , which saves the battery big time when out on a long shot, but there again I use the viewfinder anyway! AEL I have set up for back focus, which once you get use to it is a way better method that pressing the shutter button half way down. It's very good if you using AF-C because that only kicks in when you are pressing the AEL. .

Great video, my daughter just baught me a6000 and I love it. But was wondering how to change all the quick settings on the function button, now happy chappy

How could you manage to record the camera screen for this video? That's pretty neat. Please share when you get a minute. Thanks for the tips.

This was awesome thank you. So clear. So succinct (I wanted a reason to use this word). Anyways, one more question: is there a way to stop the camera from zooming in when I shoot a video?

This video look amazing what camera and lens you using in this video ?

thanks for this....could you tell me the best setting to take pics and videos in night clubs...thanks

Just purchased the cheat sheets. What a great idea especially for me as I’m very new to this type of photography. Thank you for the great content. I’m not sure if i need a different lens for astrophotography. Do you have a thought on that or is the kit lens going to be able to do the job? Purchased the a6000 with the 16-50mm lens.

Very interesting I didn't know about that faster focus setting! Thanks for that. I'm still waiting on my 2 a6000 to arrive. Going to be using them to film a chat show I got going on over here in ibiza called Ibiza Amigos. They will be both plugged into OBS. Any tips on OBS settings for high quality recordings would be greatly appreciated. Keeo up the good work buddy :)

Can you do a video for the best mic settings for a6000?

Your video is so nice. Did you also use the same camera? Which settings?

❤️

I'm a little embarrassed, I've had and loved my a6000 for long time and did not know how to use the tabs. I thank you dearly for your very helpful video.
