Sony a6000 - Focus Modes! (Tutorial!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- ▶ This video is about the different focus modes you can utilize with your camera. I go over the modes available on the Sony a6000, but I'm sure you could follow along with most cameras. I talk about auto focus single, auto focus continuous, manual focus, auto focus automatic, and direct manual focus. Hope this little focus tutorial helps!
I used manual focus for the thumbnail of this video :)

Hope this video helps some people understand the focus modes a little better! Forgot to add music to the video but hey, I think it works without it! 😬✌🏻
hikyletaggart yes it did
All but the one you didn't demonstrate! 😄
But seriously, it was very helpful. I've never owned a "real" camera and I'm wanting to buy the a6400, but I'm intimidated by all the things I don't know and I'm trying to learn as much as I can now.
The 6400 is an amazing camera and you most certainly don’t need to know every little function. I’m happy to be able to help a little bit in that process!
Hey kyle how about the eye focus? 🤔
A6000 only can use that in AF-S. I don’t use it much. I use face detection more often.
I use DMF all the time. It’s basically AF-S with the ability to MF for fine tuning. It’s meant for shots that you need to accurately focus very quickly. The way it works is, the AF-S will get you in the general focus vicinity and then you can use your focus ring to dial it in even further.
I actually use DMF most
Helpful asf thank you
DMF is for like, if you see a hawk way up in the tree branches, and your auto focus is unable to focus on the bird vs the branches, and you want a short cut of getting to the general area, the DMF cuts quickly to the general area of the hawk but then allows you to use manual (and focus magnifier) to focus on a smaller spot within the general focus area. It's just a time saver.
THANK YOU! I’ve watched a few tutorials on this and this is by far the clearest and most useful! Finally this is making sense to me.
Awesome!! Glad I could help Brittany. 😊
Love your approach, but no-have spent the last several hours trying to understand Manual Focus. None of the videos I've watched, including this one, nailed it for me. Again, grateful for your tme and effort.
Thanks for your effort to explain these! One of the best tutorials about this subject so far. Clearly and still not way too officially explained! I have watched pretty shitty ones also and you made things easy to understand. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback
all your videos on the a6000 have helped me understand this camera so much better than i was. Thank you, sir!
That’s the goal! Thanks!
I love your videos and am binge watching them today, Kyle! I am so much more excited about using my A6000 now (especially now that I realize I had it on manual focus all this time~~thanks so much for your help last night!).
Haha I was gonna suggest this video. Glad you found it and thank you!
Thanks Kyle very helpful and clear explanations. Will definitely go look at the next one on Focus area. Thanks a million!
awesome! thanks for checking this out Diane!
Thanks for the help Stud! I was working on filming welding stuff for my channel and this helped immensely. Very informative, Concise, and Helpful.
Thanks and nice! Hope you have fun on your channel!
thank YOU for keep teaching about sony A6000,LOVE IT
Thank you for the clear explanation on focus modes. I'm actually using a NEX-6 but the info still applies. Looks like the menus for the 6000 have been updated from what my older camera has.
Awesome! Makes me happy to see a comment like this!
Thank you SO much for helping me on my new endeavor! Couldn't do it without these videos!
thanks! I appreciate that :) just happy to help!
Looking forward to a video on the drive modes! I've had mine for a while and even now I'm learning stuff about it. Good video!
Thanks! Really appreciate the support! 😎📸
Man, you officialy got some really good photo-tech tips! We should combine forces 😂📸 keep doing what you are doing man :)
omg thankyou so much!! I'm a newbie on this things so this really helped me figure everything out little by little! Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Great help on this video! I was with some difficulty finding the ideal configurations and you helped me with this one! :)
Thanks!
Perfect!!
Thanks for this video! Super helpful. Just bought a Sony a6000 as a back up camera lol
Thanks for your video! Been searching for some basic camera tips for my new camera and this was hopeful and not toooo techy with jargon!
Thanks for checking it out! Glad it helped Amanda. 😊
Very very very helpful and still relevant in 2020. Thank you.
Can’t wait to watch it during lunch time! See y’a!
I'm glad I found someone poor enough to still use the sony a6000 like me, that's great!
One day I’ll get a new camera! Until then, the a6000 is a beast!
a6000 is awesome, if your not into 4K it will suit all your needs, spend the money on good lenses, I can only suggest one thing about buying a new camera, don't buy it just to own a new camera (it's always nice though) buy it for your needs, if the a6000 suit your needs stick around, new camera doesn't make you better photographer.
I agree 100%!
Do you know how many cameras the A6000 burns into the ground?? A lot. And with no internal mechanisms it's likely to last a long time. Great camera!
lol
Now everything is clear in my head. THANK YOU
Awesome! So happy it helped!
Extremely helpful, thank you!
2:00 That Ant!!!! LOL
Great video and informative! And yess for the drive mode topic etc inside the a6000 :)
Thanks for the support!
You helped me A LOT. I just bought the a6000 and I needed some info. Thanks!
Awesome!!
Bought a Sony A6000 recently and your videos have been extremely helpful. Thanks!
Love to hear that! Thank you’
Nice video, mate. You are simply great at explaining stuff!
Thanks dude! Good to see you!
Just commenced viewing your videos and they are excellent. I find setting strong colours in focus peaking makes manual focus tack sharp and is easy to set up. I may find myself more willing to use manual focus having been raised on mainly manual focus cameras.
The only thing I wish they would add is blue for s focus peaking color. Would be easier for me to see, but yes, it’s such a great tool!
Very informative- great video. Thank you for posting
Thanks for watching!
It works!!!!!!!! took it to batteries plus and we tried it out! I ordered the dual charger and batts on ebay tonight. so stoked man!
Hell yeah!!
This was excellent - super helpful! Thank you!
Awesome!!
Love the video, the absence of music isn't bad, but I personally prefer it. Keep up the awesome videos! Literally learned more from your channel than in my college photo class...
That’s awesome to hear! I usually forget something but didn’t realize the music until after it was fully finished and uploaded. Glad it was ok without!
Again, thanks for the clear explanation, I really like the way you share your experience and knowledge, I like your videos, they are very useful for me. Thanks! :-) (I'm buying an a6000, so I'm sure I'm going to check all of your related videos several times. :-) )
awesome! thats just so great to hear. hope you dig the other videos!
Very informative. Please keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Harish!
Hey! Totally new to the channel, but am definitely subscribing! Just got this camera as a birthday gift from my husband today. Would LOVE a video about drive modes.
I’m posting tips/tricks volume 3 tomorrow! You and others have been asking for that so I think drive modes is next. Thanks for the support!
It's funny how different people use the camera differently -- I upgraded *fairly* recently to a 6000-series camera after shooting on film w/manual focus lenses for years, and DMF is my preferred focusing mode, I basically never leave that mode :)
Thanks. All those Focus modes seemed a bit scary to me as a beginner, but this cleared this up.
perfect!!
Nice video! Very clear and precise explanation. Thanks! New sub 👍🏻
Thanks Ken! Glad to have you aboard! 😎
New to sony a6000. Thanks for sharing helpful tips!
Thanking for checking it out!
I didn't know I had manual focus assist on and thought I bought the wrong lens 🤦🏾♂️ super helpful video
Glad this was helpful!
Thank you, thank you! This has made it clearer!
That’s the goal! Thanks
Just got a Sony 4600 and a lot of this applies. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks so much for this video. It really helped!
Awesome! 😄
I never knew about the focus ring *runs* need to go get started because I'm fed up of my camera focusing on the wrong thing haha!
thanks so much
Well, thanks, once again a very useful video.
I’d love to see a video about in camera transition if you feel like it!
Keep up to produce such good content we love it!
See ya!
Thanks Paul and good suggestion!
Very helpful, thanks
This was very helpful... thank you!
Thanks for checking it out Ali!
Thank you so much for this. I just got the a6000 as an addition to my canon dslr. I was getting so frustrated with the autofocus and had no idea what was happening with it.
Awesome, happy to help!!
This was so helpful! I would love to see more videos like this explaining the different features of the camera and how best to use them.
I’ve been struggling with getting crisp photos and video during sunsets and low light. I’m wondering if it’s a setting that i accidentally switched.
Also what settings may vary or work best while using it for photo vs video.
Thanks so much, i will continue watching your video, I’m new to your channel.
Side note: I shoot with an A6000 so I’m new to the Sony fam!
Thanks so much! I plan on doing more videos like this but about: drive modes, focus areas, picture profiles, ect.
Great video thank you for the good information and ot taking a million years to say it!
Thanks! I do blabber on sometimes haha.
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Just bought a Sony a 6000 for TH-cam an you videos are very helpful but still have a over heating problem I am from the Caribbean Trinidad 🇹🇹 keep up the great work
Thanks man! Yeah it’s flaw of the camera. Especially for long video recordings.
Thanks! Very helpful
Thanks. This was very helpful as I am beginner!
Awesome! More beginner videos coming 😊
Just got one today, this helps a lot. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks! 🙌🏻📸
So informative - thank you!!
Thanks so much!
So helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I got this camera as a gift and I couldn`t take a sharp picture with it! Thanks to your tutorial I Set it to Autofocus and all my problems got solved!
So happy to hear that
Great plain English explanation, thanks!
Glad it helped! 😜
this was also super helpful ♥
Awesome to hear these are helping!
I thought DMF meant digital to manual focus. But yeah it means direct. It’s to help quickly focus digitally on a subject and allows you to change the focus from that. A time saver if you like to take artsy shots and you want to tweak the focus point after the camera focuses for you
Thanks for this great video. Please make more A6000 related tutorials. Looks like the lens yoy are using is the 35mm f1.8 . which is on my camera 90% of the time.
Thank you! I love that lens so much. I’ll be making more like this!
Hii!! Great content. Can you tell me how to zoom in while using that last type of focus??
What if you need to take a night star long exposure but it doesn't allow manual focus
What doesn’t allow manual focus? Even on auto focus lenses you can change to manual focus.
you explain it so well thank you :)
Thanks that means a lot!
This really helps!!
awesome! glad it did :)
Just subscribed! 😊 thanks for this!
Awesome! And no problem. 😎✌🏻
Yes about drive modes!
i had my sony a6000 last year. i just point and shoot. Then edit all the photos. It's very tiring. Didn't know how much potential it has or how to use it basically. Thank you! I learned a lot about my camera.
It’s a great tool! Perfect for casual or more serious shooting. Glad the videos have helped!
Really helpful thank you 👌
Glad it helped Ollie!
Very useful, thanks Sir.
Thanks for checkin it out!
Thank You so much great video!! A drive mode video would be great!!
Thanks Kieth!
You’re awesome thank you
Shout out to the lil ant at 2:00
Haha I had no idea there was a little guy roaming around!
Sneaky little guy, Great vid 👍
Thanks! 😊
Definitely spotted that !
Lol I said wait aas that an ant. He made his debut lol
The topic Ive been looking for, alot of channels have done this topic but never really explained it well. You nailed it. Have you done a video about Focus Area settings? Thanks
Thanks! And no not yet, that’s coming up!!!
Perfect, thats another thats another settings in the camera that confuses the heck out of me. Cant wait.
It’s so important! I’m trying to make two videos for this weekend. Stay tuned!! 😊📸
Great video thanks,I just swapped one with my d3300 and it’s loads better in video mode
Nice! Yeah i bet auto focus is so much better!
Yeah man keep it up. I love my a6000 but there aren't many good tutorials on it.
Thanks Jesse! 🙌🏻
Hi kyle.. I just get one A6000 camera and hope to learn from your channel. I like this video, what camera and lens you use to shoot this video?
Thank you..
Thks! Good Video!
Hi, I'm new to your channel and really love your content! I just bought the Sony a6000 about 6 months ago and am looking to expand my lenses from the two basics that came in the kit. I'm shooting high school football, baseball, and basketball. What lens do you recommend for this? Thanks so much and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks for checking the channel out! Two good lenses with great reach are the 18-105 f4 G lens, and the 18-135 f3.5 - 5.6. They won’t do that well in low light, but they great all around lenses. Also keep in mind full frame lenses like the 70-200 f4 or 2.8 are comparable with the a6000!
Thanks for the video got my sony and a 35mm lens
Thanks for checking it out!
It's really good
Hey - I am really enjoying your videos. They're really helpful- so thank you! Do you know why sometimes when I am in the view photos mode (when I hit the arrow), it says unable to view. Any tips on that? Thanks!
Possibly due to the photo buffering. Especially if you just did a burst. Could depend on memory card too.
DMF can be used for eye-focus right? You can arrange a button to eye-focus, hold that button so it will focus instead of half pressing and then completely press the shutter button.
Really nice video thanx for making this. I bought the a6000 recently and I love it. One question though how do you transfer images from the camera to the phone?. The imaging edge app doesn't seem to work properly.
There was an issue right around when iOS 11 came out. Check the news section in the app to see what Sony recommends. Unsure if the issue affected Android or not. I haven't used wifi transfer in a while myself. I use a lightning to SD card adapter.
Oh okay will do that! .Thank you for replying!
Really helpful
thnx
No prob!!
Hi man, love your videos. Youre a big reason why I recently bought the A6000 camera. Can I ask what strap you've got in your video? I wanna buy one but I am not sure buying a random one online will be good...
I don’t use one personally, my gf just has the strap that came with it. I’d recommend checking out anything peak design.
Hello,
THanks for still making video on ar6000
I change my settings all the time. I one point I was using the picture profile neutral for everything, but I’ve gone back to standard. I may do a video on this topic!
love your video
Thanks!!
Hi Kyle, thanks for these great video’s. I purchased mine... but my options for WiFi sending are greyed out. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Send to smartphone is grayed our? I do know that right there there is an issue with iPhones and the WiFi sending. In the ImageEdge mobile app there is a news alert for it. It gives you a work around to connect.
Very helpful
😊🙌🏻
Wow just found you! So helpful! I got this camera almost 3 Christmas ago but it was gifted to me by my husband to capture memories of our pregnancy. Unfortunately our baby passed and I didn’t wanna touch it bx of why it was given to me. But now I have finally come around to using it to shoot our baby! ☺️ so I really hope u bring more videos of tips for “ video tricks and tips” it is such a cool camera but I’m clueless !!
Aw thanks Crystal! More videos like the tips and tricks to come! I usually post a new video every week. 😊🙌🏻📸
hikyletaggart how awesome !! I subscribed and taped the bell I look forward to it ☺️
Thanks so much! Hope to provide videos that will help out! 😊✌🏻
Buddy How do you get the rectangle lines on your camera for to maintain the symetric nature ? I just cannot find that option in my Sony A6000
I’m not home but look for display options, rule of thirds, or gridlines.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Just get my new sony A6100. 😁
Love the a6100!
Great video
Thanks so much!
i will be so happy if you make a video on portrait photography
Definitely!!
Ditto
Hey, I love all of your videos. I have little question. Can you tell me something about microphones for a6000? I plan to buy Rode Videomic go, but this mic have jack cable. I have jack to micro USB cable from my gimbal, but I don't know if it will work. Please help. Regards ;)
Some people say that adapter does work, but I haven’t tested it myself. It’s worth a shot! I use a Zoom H1 microphone for my videos but it’s more of an interview style mic. Thanks for checking out my videos!
Thank you so much and very nice video. By the way which lens you are using in that video?
Thank you! I use the Sigma 16mm for every video basically. th-cam.com/video/ZeOPkiKb4aY/w-d-xo.html
