To anyone who has watched this video, THANK YOU! I have since gotten a better mic, and have gotten a bit better at this TH-cam thing! Thanks for watching this video or any of them!
I just bought the a6000 and all the menu options are crazy! This video really helped, thanks! It would be cool if you could go little more into detail for example for the fn settings, because I have no clue what to set there haha. I am also wondering how I can make good photo’s during sunset or low light conditions, would be cool to see a video about that!
It does not lose significant or noticeable quality. Clear Image Zoom uses an pattern recognition database to reproduce the image. I don’t understand it fully, but it works! There is a video made by Sony on YouTue that explains it and also shows optical zoom vs clear image zoom. It’s on the “Sony | Camera Channel” channel lol.
hikyletaggart: I stand by my original statement, the image is cropped and there is a loss in image quality, Sony uses algorithms which compare adjacent pixels and predict what the missing pixels should be; but never-the-less' its still a prediction algorithm. Yes I do agree the Sony algorithms seem to work better than those from other brands; but you cannot say predicted pixels will ever compare to real data perfectly. Obviously predicted pixel filling works best in scenes were you have regular patterns, but give it a scene like foliage; and clear-zoom will have an hard time(relatively speaking).
Thank you so much. I got mine last year during the Christmas holidays. I am a complete amateur and this will be helpful in learning more about my camera. On a budget so these you tube vids are my way of learning. Thanks again. 👍
You are crushing it with these a6000 videos. I recently purchased the a6000 as a backup camera to my a7rii and have loved the quality out of this little beast. Keep up the good work!
Thank you SO much Pedro! I am filming a video on accessories tonight. Glad a full frame user like yourself likes these videos! I’m drooling over possibly buying an A7III...possibly in 2018.
I agree the A7iii is looking like a mean machine at a great price. Most of my work is portrait photography but I consider myself a hybrid shooter. Love photography and also love videography! A7iii is a no-brainer for 2018.
Thank you! This video was amazing! Can you tell me how to clean the viewfinder? (My pictures are fantastic and when I look at the display screen it’s clear but when I look through the viewfinder it’s a little blurry)
think I responded to you on IG! incase that was someone else, there is a small dial against the side of the viewfinder - it's the Diaopter. Adjust that according to your eye sight! boom!
Eye af is a nice feature but it really shines in the a79, a7iii, and a7iii where it actually tracks the eye. Another thing to consider is back button af. With it set and afc, you can effectively use phase detect with ael and single point af with the middle button on the scroll wheel. Couple with face detection and you have full control of the camera. Back button af does take bit to get use to though but once you get it, you'll not got back.
You’re right about back button focus! Which I also want to make a quick video about it. I’m just happy the a6000 has this feature at all! Thanks so much for checking this video out and commenting!
Thank you for this; it's helpful as I get to know my new camera. Interestingly, having just purchased mine in April 2019, the Image Rotation does its full-image rotation thing with the setting at "Manual".
A BIG thank you for this video. I just bought my a6000. These are things I would have never figured out, or not quickly. Appreciate you sharing. Happy shooting.
Hi there, Thanks for your video, I would love to know if there is a way to make the display DO NOT turn off when close to the “eye display” there Is a sensor close where we put the eye to see the picture and my display turns of everytime I put my hand close to that sensor and is really enjoying
You have two options. You can either set the camera to only use the back screen, or you can use a little bit of electrical tape, and cover the bottom half of that sensor. I went the second route, as I like to use both the viewfinder and screen a lot. I talk about this in another video of mine (tips n tricks series) 😊
I was very close in buying the canon g37 but I heard great reviews on the Sony a6000 so I bought it and I’m very happy with it. I’m still trying to test out my camera because there are so much options
This video looks even better than some of your more recent videos, do you know if you were doing anything differently then than now? We’re you just using a ring light? And what lens? Sony 35mm? This video looks great!!
I used soft light boxes back then with the ring light. I think that was the key. Using a single ring light now is much more convenient. I’m moving soon so a new studio setup is happening :) Filming in our living room is tough lol.0
@@kyletaggart oh wow, thats awesome! Excited to see the new studio! And man the a6000 is still winning in my opinion for the price and quality, I just recommended it to a friend who is just getting started. Keep the videos coming!!
I used the a6000 for quite some time and vlogging. With the kit lens set to 16mm and the focus mode on wide and face recognition on, it works really well! ✌🏻
Thank you so much for all of the info! Can you help me set this camera up to shoot a horse jumping show (outside)? I brought this camera out last weekend and started shooting in the happy plus camera mode bc I have no clue what I'm doing. People loved the photos (the lens was 55-210 steady shot, btw), but I can see that even if I got the horse in focus and great position, the rider would be fuzzy. Help!
It depends on how much you're zoomed in / how much is in the frame, and your aperture number when shooting. The aperture range for that lens is 4.5 to 6.3, or you can set it higher to have more things in focus in the frame. The lower that number, the thinner, the focus plane is. So if you shoot at say f8, or f11, more things can be in focus because the focus plane is WIDER. You can shoot in "A" mode, which is aperture priority, where you can only control the aperture. So you won't have to worry about other settings. Learning things like this, takes time and understanding. I hope this helped a little!
Loved your tips and demos...hubby just bought me one for mother's day...little surprised it is 4 years since it's release...best buy tech recommended it...was going to get the Canon EOS rebel t6idslr ....hope we made the right choice for a beginner
Finally, I had NO idea you could view portrait photos in portrait photo mode but sideways. It irks the heck out of me seeeing them in landscape mode. Woo-Hoo!!!! Thanks
Thanks a lot for your tips ! Could you make a vid about Home Studio shootings ? American, Portraits, Rembrandt lightning and so on ? Great work anyway, take care !
Great video! I like the Sony A6000 but I can take sharper portrait photos with my iphone 11. Do you have any suggestions to set up the A6000 for sharper for portrait photos?
Lots of options. 18-105 for a good all around zoom. Sigma 30mm f1.4 for better low light and sharp performance. Sony 35mm for sharp, low light, and it’s light and small. 16-55 is big and heavier but high quality lens. There are pancake lenses for ultimate portability - Sony 16 or 20mm f2.8’s.
That’s a manual lens. So no auto focus. Great lens for Astro, landscape, ect. Walk around and snap quick shots it may be tougher due to having to manually focus every shot. However some people love manual focus only.
@@kyletaggart oh I see I see.. understand.. thanks buddy for all your help. Appreciate it.. subscribed . Gonna check your other helpful videos.. have a nice day
Hi, just bought a Sony a6000, great tutorial. Tried to adjust the last tip you gave on clear image zoom... My camera says: " Optical zoom only" Doesn´t gives my any options... why??
Hi. I just bought the A6000 and waching yuor video. The clearImage Zoom sounds great! But my zoom settings are grey (not changable). Any idea how come? Thx '-)
Kyle, can you do a tutorial on how to take a photo of a store sign that's lit up at night? I took a picture of a restaurant, but the name was so blurry and unreadable. I have a Sony A6000. Thanks!
Possibly because your ISO was way too high. When it’s in an auto mode it highers the ISO to make the image brighter, but when it does it introduces noise / grain. So it would depend on your lens, and if it can let more light in, and then how high the ISO can be without noise. Also, shutter speed, if you had a tripod, you could use a slow shutter speed and get more light, when holding your camera in your hands you can’t use a super slow shutter speed or else you’ll get image blur / camera shake. If none of this makes sense, then I’d suggest checkout out a “shooting in manual” video. I don’t have one yet, but will in the future.
I know I’m like a year late to this video, but do you have any other videos designated to settings for your Sony a6000? I’ve had this camera for about a year. I’ve watched tons of TH-cam videos, including all of yours and for some reason I still can’t get my photos to turn out clear. Am I doing something wrong and do you have a video to help? Lol
What do you mean clear? Does the photo seem to have motion blur? What mode are you shooting on? Manual, A, P, S. Ect.? Find me on Instagram and send me example pics of you want! 👍🏻
I really enjoy your instruction videos! I have a Sony 6000 and I got that red light and it was driving me crazy too!🤣 I will be watching all your videos! I've learned more already! Thanks! Photography is my favorite thing! 📷😎
good to know those basic menu features that we need to know when have the new cam..i just changed the settings like the vertical on display mode. I just had a little shoot with my friend and i am having a hard showing it to her! Thanks for the tip! might watch some of your vid. really helps!! btw im new with a6000 😉
Quick tip for people trying to balance this camera with gimbals, expecialy Crane v2. On most of tutorials the camera after proper process of balancing can be moved to whatever position and stays in that position. But to do that with Sony A6000 camera we have to attache some kind of a HotShoe gear (to add more weight to the top of the camera) or to level up the whole camera (i.e. by using a quick release mounting plate). We have to do that because there is no enough regulation on an arm that holds the plate. By regulating it we are levelling motor axis with camera's center of the weight axis.
picking up an a6000 after a few years out of the photography game, was to-ing and fro-ing for a while between this and a canon 200d and honestly your enthusiasm for the camera sold me on it...even though Sony e-mount lenses are like twice/three times the price of canon lenses *insert crying emoji*
Haha I feel you. It’s a great camera, and when you’re ready to upgrade in the future there is the 6300 or 6500. It’s a great system and I think you’ll enjoy it!! 🙌🏻📸
Great video. Thank you so much. Like you, I find the not be able to rotate is annoying. I'll try on my camera today to see if I can turn that off. Also, the clear image zoom makes it looks like the camera can do macro shots. :)
Thanks bro ...i did the setting on my A6000 watching this video ...good job ...make videos on comparison between lenses available in the market ...thanks
I need help in making a decision about the Sony alpha 6000. It’s 11-9-19 and I am looking to vlog and interview people for my TH-cam channel. I’ve been told by my brother that the Sony alpha a6000 will be the best to start with. As I comb youtube the mic seems to be the main concern. So should I buy it or not? You seem to have grasped my attention and you seem genuine. So please if you can help me out. Thx
I’d a microphone is the main concern go with the Canon M50 instead, which had a microphone jack. Or wait for the 6100 which will have a microphone jack and a flip up screen. Out this month.
Hey Kyle. Your last tip: clear image zoom shows at the back of the camera a small setting in wich you change the zoom size, from 50 to 100. What I can’t see on my camera is this smaal setting and I can’t figure out how you change the size, what button of wheel you use to change it. Or is this feature only for prime lenses? I use a Zeiss 16-70 / F4. And can you explane something about digital zoom? Tnx, Arie, Holland. Hey Kyle. I found it in my camera! Tnx. But ... is it possible you tell us more about connecting WIFI / camera / phone? I cant’t get it working. Tnx., Arie.
So you're all good on clear image zoom? You have to be in jpg only and when you have clear image zoom active, you simply zoom in past 50mm. Also the image transfer on mobile, you need the Image Edge Mobile app. The sony play memories app no longer works. Hope. that helps!
What settings & workflow should I use to get tack sharp images from the kit lens? I just got the camera and was not so impressed with the inital results.
It’s not exactly a tack sharp lens, but I would fool around with the different focus settings. Center, zone, flex spot, wide. See what suits your photography.
Unfortunately that’s not available on the a6000, however you can turn off the focus “beep”. Go to Menu > tab 6 (briefcase icon) > page 1 > Last option is Disable Sounds.
You can add it to the menu you see when you hit the FN button. That way it’s in a quick menu for you to go back and forth. Go to the second tab (gear symbol), Page 6, then Custom Menu Set. There you can add the option called “Quality” which is raw/jpeg to which ever row you want on the menu. Then to access it you hit the FN button and navigate to it and change it when you want in a quick matter! Hope this helps!!
Yeah, like many I see I also recently bought the a6000. And I must say, for the price it is amazing. I mean I started out with Nikon. Had a D200 and shot with a D90, D500 and D800. Wish I owned those last two ones. Price range wise, they are not affordable for me. So in order to start shooting I browsed around for months actually.. And I'm super happy with my purchase. Thanks for the video, cause right now I'm getting to know my new cam and so far it's been joyful.
Thanks so much! So happy you’re enjoying it! Check amazon for used prices and eBay as well! Sometimes people sell lenses and you can scoop me up for $100 off or so!
Going to buy a DSLR this week, which one should I go for? Sony a6000 or Canon M50? For still photography mainly. I checked your Instagram, you have been using M50 recently? Suggest please. Thanks and have a nice day
They’re not DSLR’s, they’re mirrorless cameras. Yep, I’ve been using the M50 more but that’s because I love the combo of the body and the 22mm f2, and 32mm f1.4. Both are great. Checkout this video where i compare the two! -> th-cam.com/video/yBBb0EyIA1o/w-d-xo.html
Nice video. I own a sony a57 apsc camera. But i am not happy with the video with the 50 mm and 55 200 mm lenses. I feel the video isnt sharp enough even with these lenses. Since the a6000 and a57 have the same apsc sensors, i was wondering if it would be useful buying the a6000 since it would give a similar video capability. Or is the a6000 better than a57 in video quality? I cant find any comparison video for the two cameras on youtube. I would be grateful if u could enlighten me about this. Thanks.
Not sure as I’ve never heard of the a57! However the a6000 has XAVCS video codec which is great, not sure if the a57 has that. The 6300 has log formats and 4K.
Actually haven’t used the flash or any flash yet with my photography. Definitely will be a future video! If you use the on camera flash you can angle it and bounce it. Neat little trick.
Hello from Toronto Canada! How are you, Eh? Great vids! Question if you choose to shoot in JPEG/RAW together can you use the settings that only allow you to shoot in Manual, like the zoom option you are talking about? Thanks!
Very good question mark, I haven’t ever tested that! I’d imagine you can only use settings that RAW would allow you to, do no. BUT, you’d have to test my theory!
Help please! I just got this camara and I'm new to all this, I came across your video and while following your instructions , I noticed few of the camara functions are disabled, for example image index ,slide show and rotate all of those and many more. When I clicked on them, a message pops out "this function is currently disabled". I tried resetting the camara just in case I clicked on something but no luck, any advice? Please help?
It may depend on the mode you’re in on the dial. If you’re in auto, or an auto mode, it’s possible those aren’t accessible. I’ll have to look more when I get home from work. Those are all related to the playback of images, so like when you’re reviewing them after taking them.
If a function is disabled in the menu's it means that said that particular function can only be used in a certain camera mode (e.g Manual, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Program Mode) and you'll need to change the mode with the dial up the top of the camera where the shutter button is to another mode. It will usually tell you on-screen which mode a particular function can't be used in. As you probably found out, if a menu option/function can't be used, it will be greyed out.
I bought the 6500 because I like the 6000 so much. My sensors are always dirty!! Any suggestions on how to keep it clean other than the usual with being careful when changing the lens. Are you going to do a video for any other Sony models? Than k you so much.
Will be doing canon M50 videos and whatever else I get my hands on! Also lens videos. I would highly suggest getting the dust blowers. Super easy to use. Hold camera face down, use duster to blow any big pieces out. Works like a charm!
still a nice share after years owning a6000 ~ took me some times to know what i want for my custom function , since i always go into menu and do the changes most of the time ~ nice one !
Thanks for doing the video. Got A6000 3 months ago, and finding out stuff, then forgetting most of it. So back to the drawing board (or David Busch book or TH-cam). Anyways really appreciate all five tips. Cheers
I think you shouldn't suggest people turn off AF illuminator because you hate it. Instead, just explain to them, and leave it up to them. Warn them that they might get blurry pictures when shooting in low light condition. Other than, it's a good video.
yup, had the same thing a month ago, thought the light was distracting and annoying while shooting during a dinner in low light. Ofcourse with the AF illuminator off I got the surprise effect in the photos which I wanted, but it took te camera way too long (if not, it didn't at all) to focus on subject. p.s. ofcourse manual focus would be an option in this situation, but you understand what i mean
Use a high f stop number. F8, F11, F16. Wide focus. As for composition, it really depends on the scene. Sometimes I try and have an object in the front (rock in a lake) to kind of depict the center of the photo. Sometimes I place the sun or specific object in one of the thirds of the image. Think if you split the photo into 3 vertical bars.
My biggest question with all the a 6000 videos is probably self explanatory. Do you record with the a6000? I really like the quality of your videos and if it isn't the a6000. Which camera are you using?
I would if I could! I don’t have an 80D. I’d imagine the 80D is better but I can’t say for sure. Take a look at the dynamic range of both, and ISO capabilities. ✌🏻
I use an a6000 to film ALL of my videos! 😎 This was my first video about my setup th-cam.com/video/PQmqfKLMpAA/w-d-xo.html . This is a video about the mic i use and how i use it: th-cam.com/video/M4Y5PlRpvD8/w-d-xo.html This is my latest video on my setup: th-cam.com/video/Ml3QpivGmZ8/w-d-xo.html. ✌🏻😬
Fn button is definitely awesome, I use it all the time. Quickest way to edit your shooting settings. The fact you can't shoot in RAW with clear image zoom already tells you there certainly is quality loss because it's a digital zoom. You might as well shoot in RAW without it and edit/crop your picture later. Could be though that it works well if you don't want to do that, I never actually used it.
Hey I took a bunch of pics on vacation and I’m frustrated with some of the results. Like crappy focus on a little bird about 20 feet away and that’s with a 55-210 lens at max zoom. Any suggestions? Happy to send a few of my pics if that’s easier. Cheers!
crappy focus? was the bird not in focus but another part of the photo? a leaf, a branch? I'd suggest looking at the Focus AREA settings, use what gets you the point you want in focus the easiest. Also shutter speed is key when shooting handheld. Needs to be fast enough to freeze everything.
This video was great! Just adjusted my new camera. So I normally shoot RAW but I'm looking to shoot jpeg for the clear image zoom feature. Would you recommend "fine" or "standard" quality wise?
Always “Fine”. I would also recommend shooting in RAW, however it does take up more space, and I understand not everyone likes to edit their photos as well. Maybe look into setting in your menu set the option to switch back and forth. I do that so when I’m shooting my dogs in High shooting mode I switch to jpeg. Just a thought! Thanks for watching Alexis!
Thanks for responding! I actually prefer RAW as well but I got this camera for the size factor and would like to test out the zoom feature so I don't have to carry multiple lenses around NYC if I don't have to :)
Your videos are amazing! I've seen your insta photos as well and they are astounding. The thing I want to ask that which camera should I buy sony a6000 or sony a7 (old model) the first one?
If you’re going full frame you need to be ready for the size and price commitment. I’m not familiar with the A7 base model, but I’m sure it’s an awesome camera. The a6000 is smaller and compact and still packs a pinch as you see. If you want full frame go with the A7III. That camera is light years better than the a6000 and at $2k it’s a steal. So it’s really, price, size, and overall what are you using it for? Hope this helps a little! And thanks for the kind words about my photos! 😊
@@kyletaggart thanks for the feed back a7III is out of my league because it is too much expensive in Australia, around $4000 just the body you know. I'm gonna watch more videos of yours so I can make up my mind, thanks and stay awesome always
A beginner film maker probably would like it, BUT, if you need dialogue sound from people, it doesn’t have a microphone jack. It has a hot shoe mount, but a lot of mics use the microphone jack. I’ve seen a lot of films on TH-cam made with this camera, but that’s the biggest drawback for a beginner film maker.
I'm considering this camera to replace our large DSLR, but there sure are a LOT of steps to set this thing up compared to our DSLR.... thanks for your video.
Hey man!! I am just new to your channel, and i ve subscribed myself already. If i can, i would give you just an advice... I think you could mix better the audio of the videos, the one that got your voice... besides that, great job man! thank for the video, i think i will buy this camera in the next days.
thanks, I do everything myself and that is one area I'm always trying to improve. This video was when I didn't have a mic. New video today, you'll instantly hear the difference in mic quality lol
hello sir.. very intelligent tips.. can i ask some tips from you sir? i'm already have sony a6000 lens kit 15-50mm/3.5.. in your oppinion, what type of lens should i buy after this if i want to upgrade lens? thank you
I just bought this camera and I'm super excited since it's my first SLR, your video was super helpful and very informative so thank you very much brother, oh and I subscribed too :)
I really enjoyed this THANK YOU! I'm supposed to get my camera tomorrow. so excited! There were some parts that I had to slow down the speed of the video so I could write down the steps - it was kinda funny because it sounded like you were drunk LOL but I know you're not. Good job, I'm going to subscribe looking forward to more about the Sony Alpha a6000. I have an old Nikon coolpix - always wanted a DSLR but after talking to a photography pro, he told me about the mirrorless cameras which I could get for 1-2 the price of the DSLR!
The a6000 is rather cheap. Then you can get a nice lens to go with it! Any questions - shoot me a message on Instagram. Thanks and I’m planning on a lot of videos in 2019!
Nope! Any mode will do. The FN menu is a quick menu you can use in any mode. Memory recall is more for if you have a picture profile, or any adjustments to sharpness, contrast, ect set.
To anyone who has watched this video, THANK YOU! I have since gotten a better mic, and have gotten a bit better at this TH-cam thing! Thanks for watching this video or any of them!
hikyletaggart ... Thank you so much...now that makes sense I!...great job BTW!
Anytime! New video tonight. 😊✌🏻
the first thing i cant understand, why cannot recover?
Recover what?
Thanks for this video. Have you got a video explains what is “zebra” mode?
I just bought the a6000 and all the menu options are crazy! This video really helped, thanks! It would be cool if you could go little more into detail for example for the fn settings, because I have no clue what to set there haha. I am also wondering how I can make good photo’s during sunset or low light conditions, would be cool to see a video about that!
Welcome to the a6000 fam! Haha. I think a settings / custom buttons video is definitely coming soon! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Yeah Sony a6000 is good camera
Yeah, I need the 'why' not just the 'how'.
Had a thought about getting the Sony A6000, seems like it's a good-to-go for beginners. Thanks for the tips!
Amazing, I had the camera for a year now and didn’t know about the Clear image zoom, it’s amazing.
Thank you for your video
No problem! Glad it helped. Thanks so much for checking it out!
Clear Images Zoom is not optical, it crops the image, so you end up losing image quality.

@@kyletaggart thanks! It was me 😄
Eye af is a nice feature but it really shines in the a79, a7iii, and a7iii where it actually tracks the eye. Another thing to consider is back button af. With it set and afc, you can effectively use phase detect with ael and single point af with the middle button on the scroll wheel. Couple with face detection and you have full control of the camera.

Hey kyle, terrific videos man! I've bought a Sony Alpha a6000 just because of your suggestions and trust me, i have no regrets. :)
Thanks to you!
100k?! Man that would be wild! Haha. Thanks!
Hi there, Thanks for your video, I would love to know if there is a way to make the display DO NOT turn off when close to the “eye display” there Is a sensor close where we put the eye to see the picture and my display turns of everytime I put my hand close to that sensor and is really enjoying
You have two options. You can either set the camera to only use the back screen, or you can use a little bit of electrical tape, and cover the bottom half of that sensor. I went the second route, as I like to use both the viewfinder and screen a lot. I talk about this in another video of mine (tips n tricks series) 😊
I was very close in buying the canon g37 but I heard great reviews on the Sony a6000 so I bought it and I’m very happy with it. I’m still trying to test out my camera because there are so much options
Oh nice! Yeah there are a lot of options! You can always get better lenses too in time. I’ve been using it for 2+ years now.
This video looks even better than some of your more recent videos, do you know if you were doing anything differently then than now? We’re you just using a ring light? And what lens? Sony 35mm? This video looks great!!
I used soft light boxes back then with the ring light. I think that was the key. Using a single ring light now is much more convenient. I’m moving soon so a new studio setup is happening :) Filming in our living room is tough lol.0
@@kyletaggart oh wow, thats awesome! Excited to see the new studio! And man the a6000 is still winning in my opinion for the price and quality, I just recommended it to a friend who is just getting started. Keep the videos coming!!
Just acquired this camera - first video I watched. Very encouraging.. Thank you.
No problem! Enjoy your new camera. Hope more videos of mine help!
Thank you for all the tips. I also have a6000 for a year now. But i have not really explore the settings. I used my go pro for vlogging.
I used the a6000 for quite some time and vlogging. With the kit lens set to 16mm and the focus mode on wide and face recognition on, it works really well! ✌🏻
So so so helpful! I just got this camera and I love it so it’s nice to find new things to love about it!
Awesome! Thanks and I’m glad I could help!
Really helpful, thanks. Just starting with my A6000 and those menus are a labyrinth!
checkout the whole tips and tricks series I did. thanks for checking out my stuff!
how do you take a photo with the background to be blurry and how to shoot a video in slow motion
Checkout my “bokeh basics” video!
Thank you so much for all of the info! Can you help me set this camera up to shoot a horse jumping show (outside)? I brought this camera out last weekend and started shooting in the happy plus camera mode bc I have no clue what I'm doing. People loved the photos (the lens was 55-210 steady shot, btw), but I can see that even if I got the horse in focus and great position, the rider would be fuzzy. Help!
It depends on how much you're zoomed in / how much is in the frame, and your aperture number when shooting. The aperture range for that lens is 4.5 to 6.3, or you can set it higher to have more things in focus in the frame. The lower that number, the thinner, the focus plane is. So if you shoot at say f8, or f11, more things can be in focus because the focus plane is WIDER. You can shoot in "A" mode, which is aperture priority, where you can only control the aperture. So you won't have to worry about other settings. Learning things like this, takes time and understanding. I hope this helped a little!
Loved your tips and demos...hubby just bought me one for mother's day...little surprised it is 4 years since it's release...best buy tech recommended it...was going to get the Canon EOS rebel t6idslr ....hope we made the right choice for a beginner
It’s a great choice for a beginner! Hope you enjoy it!
Finally, I had NO idea you could view portrait photos in portrait photo mode but sideways. It irks the heck out of me seeeing them in landscape mode. Woo-Hoo!!!! Thanks
SAME HERE! Glad the video helped!
DISPLAY ROTATION really helped man..thanks. Sony a6000 is my first digital camera, I've had a year in May. I'm really gonna like the auto rotate!
Awesome! Glad this helped! ✌🏻
Thanks a lot for your tips ! Could you make a vid about Home Studio shootings ? American, Portraits, Rembrandt lightning and so on ? Great work anyway, take care !
Good job. New to digital photography and I have no idea what to press. Helped me.
Awesome! Thanks.
Great video! I like the Sony A6000 but I can take sharper portrait photos with my iphone 11. Do you have any suggestions to set up the A6000 for sharper for portrait photos?
I have a video on that “8 tips to take sharper photos!”
Thanks for the helpful tips. Just got my camera and can't wait to use it
Have fun!
@@kyletaggart thanks!! Getting to know the camera is definitely a start. I almost need a guided tour through it. I miss 35mm. Lol.
I’m here for any questions!
@@kyletaggart I have ALL the questions.
Bring it! All I do is answer questions! 🤣🙌🏻
Hi there. Im about to get the camera and wondering what is a good lense to buy for travel photography? Thanks keep up the great work
Lots of options. 18-105 for a good all around zoom. Sigma 30mm f1.4 for better low light and sharp performance. Sony 35mm for sharp, low light, and it’s light and small. 16-55 is big and heavier but high quality lens. There are pancake lenses for ultimate portability - Sony 16 or 20mm f2.8’s.
@@kyletaggart thanks for great answer. What about rokinon 12mm? Much appreciated
That’s a manual lens. So no auto focus. Great lens for Astro, landscape, ect. Walk around and snap quick shots it may be tougher due to having to manually focus every shot. However some people love manual focus only.
@@kyletaggart oh I see I see.. understand.. thanks buddy for all your help. Appreciate it.. subscribed . Gonna check your other helpful videos.. have a nice day
@@kyletaggart I got today sony 35mm. Thanks bro
Hi, just bought a Sony a6000, great tutorial. Tried to adjust the last tip you gave on clear image zoom... My camera says: " Optical zoom only" Doesn´t gives my any options... why??
Hmm, that’s interesting. Maybe because you’re set to shoot RAW? Unfortunately you need to shoot jpeg for clear image zoom to work.
hikyletaggart hmmm, it’s seems like I fixed it.. but then I clicked on something and it was gone again ... 🤔
What lens? The kit lens?
hikyletaggart the clear image zoom function
No I got that, but it will vary on lens. Like if you have a manual lens you won’t have the option for clear image zoom.
awesome video ! i have had my a6000 and I didnt realize how many things I could change.
Awesome! Hope it helps!
Hi. I just bought the A6000 and waching yuor video. The clearImage Zoom sounds great! But my zoom settings are grey (not changable). Any idea how come? Thx '-)
Kyle, can you do a tutorial on how to take a photo of a store sign that's lit up at night? I took a picture of a restaurant, but the name was so blurry and unreadable. I have a Sony A6000. Thanks!
Possibly because your ISO was way too high. When it’s in an auto mode it highers the ISO to make the image brighter, but when it does it introduces noise / grain. So it would depend on your lens, and if it can let more light in, and then how high the ISO can be without noise. Also, shutter speed, if you had a tripod, you could use a slow shutter speed and get more light, when holding your camera in your hands you can’t use a super slow shutter speed or else you’ll get image blur / camera shake. If none of this makes sense, then I’d suggest checkout out a “shooting in manual” video. I don’t have one yet, but will in the future.
I know I’m like a year late to this video, but do you have any other videos designated to settings for your Sony a6000? I’ve had this camera for about a year. I’ve watched tons of TH-cam videos, including all of yours and for some reason I still can’t get my photos to turn out clear. Am I doing something wrong and do you have a video to help? Lol
What do you mean clear? Does the photo seem to have motion blur? What mode are you shooting on? Manual, A, P, S. Ect.? Find me on Instagram and send me example pics of you want! 👍🏻
Thank you so much. So many useful tips. Do you have videos on lighting. Shooting night photos
Not yet! Thanks for the suggestion!
I really enjoy your instruction videos! I have a Sony 6000 and I got that red light and it was driving me crazy too!🤣 I will be watching all your videos! I've learned more already! Thanks! Photography is my favorite thing! 📷😎
Oh wow thank you Tammy! More coming soon! 🙌🏻
Inspired and bought A6000 after watching your tutorial.... Thanks a lot.
What kind of sd-card do you use on a6000?
good to know those basic menu features that we need to know when have the new cam..i just changed the settings like the vertical on display mode. I just had a little shoot with my friend and i am having a hard showing it to her! Thanks for the tip! might watch some of your vid. really helps!! btw im new with a6000 😉
Perfect! Glad that little tip helped 😊🙌🏻
you are GOD SENT. i've had this camera for 2 years now and i have no idea how to use it lol.
Haha glad you found the channel!
Quick tip for people trying to balance this camera with gimbals, expecialy Crane v2.
On most of tutorials the camera after proper process of balancing can be moved to whatever position and stays in that position.
But to do that with Sony A6000 camera we have to attache some kind of a HotShoe gear (to add more weight to the top of the camera) or to level up the whole camera (i.e. by using a quick release mounting plate). We have to do that because there is no enough regulation on an arm that holds the plate. By regulating it we are levelling motor axis with camera's center of the weight axis.
picking up an a6000 after a few years out of the photography game, was to-ing and fro-ing for a while between this and a canon 200d and honestly your enthusiasm for the camera sold me on it...even though Sony e-mount lenses are like twice/three times the price of canon lenses *insert crying emoji*
Haha I feel you. It’s a great camera, and when you’re ready to upgrade in the future there is the 6300 or 6500. It’s a great system and I think you’ll enjoy it!! 🙌🏻📸
Amazing! Just that I needed. I had this camera for a few months and I didn't know about the E-AF and I was looking for. Best regards from Mexico.
Awesome man! Glad this helped you Gustavo! ✌🏻
Great video. Thank you so much. Like you, I find the not be able to rotate is annoying. I'll try on my camera today to see if I can turn that off. Also, the clear image zoom makes it looks like the camera can do macro shots. :)
Thanks for the support Danny! Glad this helped!
Thanks bro ...i did the setting on my A6000 watching this video ...good job ...make videos on comparison between lenses available in the market ...thanks
Lots of lens comparisons on the channel! Thanks so much
Can you flip the image through the camera? Such as mirroring the image, or does that have to be done when editing the photo?
I know you can rotate the photo when viewing it, however I’m not sure about flipping it. I’ll have to check!
As a first time Camera user, What would you recommend putting for the basic function menu options?
Focus area, raw/jpeg, exposure compensation, creative style, white balance, face recognition, focus mode, ISO.
Awesome, Thanks so much for the response. Keep up the videos. Hope to learn a lot from them!
Anytime!
I need help in making a decision about the Sony alpha 6000. It’s 11-9-19 and I am looking to vlog and interview people for my TH-cam channel. I’ve been told by my brother that the Sony alpha a6000 will be the best to start with. As I comb youtube the mic seems to be the main concern. So should I buy it or not? You seem to have grasped my attention and you seem genuine. So please if you can help me out. Thx
I’d a microphone is the main concern go with the Canon M50 instead, which had a microphone jack. Or wait for the 6100 which will have a microphone jack and a flip up screen. Out this month.
Great video! Thanks so much. I've had my A6000 for about a year and you just taught me some new tricks! George in FL
Awesome! Thanks George!
Hey Kyle. Your last tip: clear image zoom shows at the back of the camera a small setting in wich you change the zoom size, from 50 to 100. What I can’t see on my camera is this smaal setting and I can’t figure out how you change the size, what button of wheel you use to change it. Or is this feature only for prime lenses? I use a Zeiss 16-70 / F4. And can you explane something about digital zoom? Tnx, Arie, Holland.
Hey Kyle. I found it in my camera! Tnx.
But ... is it possible you tell us more about connecting WIFI / camera / phone? I cant’t get it working. Tnx., Arie.
So you're all good on clear image zoom? You have to be in jpg only and when you have clear image zoom active, you simply zoom in past 50mm. Also the image transfer on mobile, you need the Image Edge Mobile app. The sony play memories app no longer works. Hope. that helps!
Yes Kyle, i’m fine, everything is working, even WIFI and remote control. Took me ages but it works fine. Have a nice day!
Nice!!! So happy to hear
What settings & workflow should I use to get tack sharp images from the kit lens? I just got the camera and was not so impressed with the inital results.
It’s not exactly a tack sharp lens, but I would fool around with the different focus settings. Center, zone, flex spot, wide. See what suits your photography.
Wouldn’t bother mate,had 3 of them not one focused properly,had a four hour tutorial beforehand
3 bad cameras in a row? Damn!
Thanks! I'm watching your video in 2019 and I'm thinking buy an a6000 just for start in the photography world!
It's a great starter camera!
so, does turning the flashing red light off have any ramifications or does it function the same?
imo it functions the same, but, if you do take photos in darker scenatrios, a lens may have a harder time focusing without the light.
Hello, thank you for your interesting video. Do you know how can be silent the shutter at A6000?
Unfortunately that’s not available on the a6000, however you can turn off the focus “beep”. Go to Menu > tab 6 (briefcase icon) > page 1 > Last option is Disable Sounds.
Thank you! already done!
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. How do I change the setting from RAW to Jpeg so I can use this zoom feature?
You can add it to the menu you see when you hit the FN button. That way it’s in a quick menu for you to go back and forth. Go to the second tab (gear symbol), Page 6, then Custom Menu Set. There you can add the option called “Quality” which is raw/jpeg to which ever row you want on the menu. Then to access it you hit the FN button and navigate to it and change it when you want in a quick matter! Hope this helps!!
Hi bro, I was learning but need your help ,I can take photos but I want to learn more
what's up?
Yeah, like many I see I also recently bought the a6000. And I must say, for the price it is amazing. I mean I started out with Nikon. Had a D200 and shot with a D90, D500 and D800. Wish I owned those last two ones. Price range wise, they are not affordable for me. So in order to start shooting I browsed around for months actually.. And I'm super happy with my purchase. Thanks for the video, cause right now I'm getting to know my new cam and so far it's been joyful.
Thanks so much! So happy you’re enjoying it! Check amazon for used prices and eBay as well! Sometimes people sell lenses and you can scoop me up for $100 off or so!
Going to buy a DSLR this week, which one should I go for? Sony a6000 or Canon M50? For still photography mainly. I checked your Instagram, you have been using M50 recently? Suggest please. Thanks and have a nice day
They’re not DSLR’s, they’re mirrorless cameras. Yep, I’ve been using the M50 more but that’s because I love the combo of the body and the 22mm f2, and 32mm f1.4. Both are great. Checkout this video where i compare the two! ->

Nice video. I own a sony a57 apsc camera. But i am not happy with the video with the 50 mm and 55 200 mm lenses. I feel the video isnt sharp enough even with these lenses. Since the a6000 and a57 have the same apsc sensors, i was wondering if it would be useful buying the a6000 since it would give a similar video capability. Or is the a6000 better than a57 in video quality? I cant find any comparison video for the two cameras on youtube. I would be grateful if u could enlighten me about this. Thanks.
Not sure as I’ve never heard of the a57! However the a6000 has XAVCS video codec which is great, not sure if the a57 has that. The 6300 has log formats and 4K.
wow as someone who is receiving the camera today, this is so convenient!! Thank you!
So glad it’s helping you!
What Flash do you use for the A6000?
Actually haven’t used the flash or any flash yet with my photography. Definitely will be a future video! If you use the on camera flash you can angle it and bounce it. Neat little trick.
Hello from Toronto Canada! How are you, Eh? Great vids! Question if you choose to shoot in JPEG/RAW together can you use the settings that only allow you to shoot in Manual, like the zoom option you are talking about? Thanks!
Very good question mark, I haven’t ever tested that! I’d imagine you can only use settings that RAW would allow you to, do no. BUT, you’d have to test my theory!
@@kyletaggart Thanks. I will try it out. Have a great weekend.
Im a newbie a6000 user, your vid is very helpful. Keep it up.
Awesome! Thanks for watching. More to come!
Help please! I just got this camara and I'm new to all this, I came across your video and while following your instructions , I noticed few of the camara functions are disabled, for example image index ,slide show and rotate all of those and many more. When I clicked on them, a message pops out "this function is currently disabled". I tried resetting the camara just in case I clicked on something but no luck, any advice? Please help?
It may depend on the mode you’re in on the dial. If you’re in auto, or an auto mode, it’s possible those aren’t accessible. I’ll have to look more when I get home from work. Those are all related to the playback of images, so like when you’re reviewing them after taking them.
If a function is disabled in the menu's it means that said that particular function can only be used in a certain camera mode (e.g Manual, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Program Mode) and you'll need to change the mode with the dial up the top of the camera where the shutter button is to another mode. It will usually tell you on-screen which mode a particular function can't be used in. As you probably found out, if a menu option/function can't be used, it will be greyed out.
Thanks! can you please do jewellery photography using a light box?
I bought the 6500 because I like the 6000 so much. My sensors are always dirty!! Any suggestions on how to keep it clean other than the usual with being careful when changing the lens. Are you going to do a video for any other Sony models? Than k you so much.
Will be doing canon M50 videos and whatever else I get my hands on! Also lens videos. I would highly suggest getting the dust blowers. Super easy to use. Hold camera face down, use duster to blow any big pieces out. Works like a charm!
still a nice share after years owning a6000 ~
took me some times to know what i want for my custom function , since i always go into menu and do the changes most of the time ~
nice one !
Thanks Tien! Really appreciate the kind words! ✌🏻
Thanks for doing the video. Got A6000 3 months ago, and finding out stuff, then forgetting most of it. So back to the drawing board (or David Busch book or TH-cam). Anyways really appreciate all five tips. Cheers
Glad I could help!
Great video! i am waiting for my a6000 and learning about it... already suscribed!
Thanks! Glad I could help! Hope you enjoy all the videos!
I think you shouldn't suggest people turn off AF illuminator because you hate it. Instead, just explain to them, and leave it up to them. Warn them that they might get blurry pictures when shooting in low light condition. Other than, it's a good video.
I hear you, good point! Thanks for checking the video out.
yup, had the same thing a month ago, thought the light was distracting and annoying while shooting during a dinner in low light. Ofcourse with the AF illuminator off I got the surprise effect in the photos which I wanted, but it took te camera way too long (if not, it didn't at all) to focus on subject.
p.s. ofcourse manual focus would be an option in this situation, but you understand what i mean
I hear ya!
So if I put off the AF illuminator then the camera will have difficulties in focusing or take much time in focusing ? thanks
Hi! Thanks voor this video! Do you have any tips landscape shooting?
Use a high f stop number. F8, F11, F16. Wide focus. As for composition, it really depends on the scene. Sometimes I try and have an object in the front (rock in a lake) to kind of depict the center of the photo. Sometimes I place the sun or specific object in one of the thirds of the image. Think if you split the photo into 3 vertical bars.
My biggest question with all the a 6000 videos is probably self explanatory. Do you record with the a6000? I really like the quality of your videos and if it isn't the a6000. Which camera are you using?
Yup, I use the a6000. I have a video o. My video setup too. Sony a6000, Sigma 16mm f1.4, h1 zoom mic. ✌🏻
@@kyletaggart thanks man I just picked one up and I've been watching all your videos to get started!

Great video man. Hey can you compare the sony a6000 with the canon 80d? Especially in low light video
I would if I could! I don’t have an 80D. I’d imagine the 80D is better but I can’t say for sure. Take a look at the dynamic range of both, and ISO capabilities. ✌🏻
hikyletaggart it would seem the a6000 is better but i don't have one to compare. I have the 80D.
hey kyle! are you using a sony a6000 also to shoot your vlogs? hope you can share how you set it up..do you use your phone as a monitor?
I use an a6000 to film ALL of my videos! 😎 This was my first video about my setup th-cam.com/video/PQmqfKLMpAA/w-d-xo.html . This is a video about the mic i use and how i use it: th-cam.com/video/M4Y5PlRpvD8/w-d-xo.html This is my latest video on my setup: th-cam.com/video/Ml3QpivGmZ8/w-d-xo.html. ✌🏻😬
I'm not sure yet about the digital zoom. But thanks you i did not know about this feature.
It’s a pretty cool feature. Assign it to a custom button, give it a shot! (Works in video too!)
This info is GREAT!!! You are a natural. Thank you so much for these informational vids.
Thanks! Glad they help!
Fn button is definitely awesome, I use it all the time. Quickest way to edit your shooting settings.
The fact you can't shoot in RAW with clear image zoom already tells you there certainly is quality loss because it's a digital zoom. You might as well shoot in RAW without it and edit/crop your picture later. Could be though that it works well if you don't want to do that, I never actually used it.
Hey I took a bunch of pics on vacation and I’m frustrated with some of the results. Like crappy focus on a little bird about 20 feet away and that’s with a 55-210 lens at max zoom. Any suggestions? Happy to send a few of my pics if that’s easier. Cheers!
crappy focus? was the bird not in focus but another part of the photo? a leaf, a branch? I'd suggest looking at the Focus AREA settings, use what gets you the point you want in focus the easiest. Also shutter speed is key when shooting handheld. Needs to be fast enough to freeze everything.
Sir my picture is not sharp and texture clearity when i use manual also
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to buy this camera, and I've wanted to watch some reviews first.
Awesome Allen, happy to help!
This video was great! Just adjusted my new camera. So I normally shoot RAW but I'm looking to shoot jpeg for the clear image zoom feature. Would you recommend "fine" or "standard" quality wise?
Always “Fine”. I would also recommend shooting in RAW, however it does take up more space, and I understand not everyone likes to edit their photos as well. Maybe look into setting in your menu set the option to switch back and forth. I do that so when I’m shooting my dogs in High shooting mode I switch to jpeg. Just a thought! Thanks for watching Alexis!
Thanks for responding! I actually prefer RAW as well but I got this camera for the size factor and would like to test out the zoom feature so I don't have to carry multiple lenses around NYC if I don't have to :)
Definitely the beauty of it!
do you have a list of lenses you would suggest for this camera
Check this list out! kit.com/hikyletaggart/sony-a6000-lens-recommendations
Your videos are amazing! I've seen your insta photos as well and they are astounding. The thing I want to ask that which camera should I buy sony a6000 or sony a7 (old model) the first one?
If you’re going full frame you need to be ready for the size and price commitment. I’m not familiar with the A7 base model, but I’m sure it’s an awesome camera. The a6000 is smaller and compact and still packs a pinch as you see. If you want full frame go with the A7III. That camera is light years better than the a6000 and at $2k it’s a steal. So it’s really, price, size, and overall what are you using it for? Hope this helps a little! And thanks for the kind words about my photos! 😊
@@kyletaggart thanks for the feed back a7III is out of my league because it is too much expensive in Australia, around $4000 just the body you know. I'm gonna watch more videos of yours so I can make up my mind, thanks and stay awesome always
Great Video! Would you recommend this camera for a beginning filmmaker? I am really thinking about getting this camera!
A beginner film maker probably would like it, BUT, if you need dialogue sound from people, it doesn’t have a microphone jack. It has a hot shoe mount, but a lot of mics use the microphone jack. I’ve seen a lot of films on TH-cam made with this camera, but that’s the biggest drawback for a beginner film maker.
I also found the default setting to viewing vertical pictures so odd!
I'm considering this camera to replace our large DSLR, but there sure are a LOT of steps to set this thing up compared to our DSLR.... thanks for your video.
It’s not too bad, personally I just prefer a lighter, smaller camera. Go test it out at a camera shop or Best Buy first!
Great. I just upgraded from Sony NEX5T to A6300. This video helps me to a good start. Thanks. P.S. What is the next 5 more things to know?
Good question Edward! Might have to go there with another video!
Hey man!! I am just new to your channel, and i ve subscribed myself already. If i can, i would give you just an advice... I think you could mix better the audio of the videos, the one that got your voice... besides that, great job man! thank for the video, i think i will buy this camera in the next days.
thanks, I do everything myself and that is one area I'm always trying to improve. This video was when I didn't have a mic. New video today, you'll instantly hear the difference in mic quality lol
hello sir.. very intelligent tips.. can i ask some tips from you sir? i'm already have sony a6000 lens kit 15-50mm/3.5.. in your oppinion, what type of lens should i buy after this if i want to upgrade lens? thank you
Depends what you’d shoot! However I think the Sony 50mm f1.8 is a great lens to start with. Checkout the Sony 35mm vs Sony 50mm video I did.
@@kyletaggart wow..that's great! Thank you so much.. :)

Thanks Peter! 🙏🏻 have fun with your new camera!
He doesn't look like Jim Carrey at all. Thought I would clear that up. Great video by the way!
Is it ok if i dont use the adapter for charging instead i use mobile phone charger?
i actually knew everything besides the eye af, so i guess i know my camera pretty good :)
I really enjoyed this THANK YOU! I'm supposed to get my camera tomorrow. so excited! There were some parts that I had to slow down the speed of the video so I could write down the steps - it was kinda funny because it sounded like you were drunk LOL but I know you're not. Good job, I'm going to subscribe looking forward to more about the Sony Alpha a6000. I have an old Nikon coolpix - always wanted a DSLR but after talking to a photography pro, he told me about the mirrorless cameras which I could get for 1-2 the price of the DSLR!
The a6000 is rather cheap. Then you can get a nice lens to go with it! Any questions - shoot me a message on Instagram. Thanks and I’m planning on a lot of videos in 2019!
when you are setting up the function keys you forgot to mention that the camera needs to be in MR setting for memory recall - is this correct?
Nope! Any mode will do. The FN menu is a quick menu you can use in any mode. Memory recall is more for if you have a picture profile, or any adjustments to sharpness, contrast, ect set.
Thanks @@kyletaggart - I got it now after I studied it a little bit
Anytime you got a question the best place is Instagram! But I do check the comments often too! ✌🏻
Ok, how to you get the extra zoom? I changed the settings, is there anything else I need to do?
Make sure you’re in jpeg.
Great usefull video!
thanks so much!
Hey
Nice vid! I have the g7x. is it easy to upload photos to social media with this camera?
Hey! Yes it is actually! It has WiFi capability to transfer to your phone, then easily post.
