I’ve had my a6000 for almost 8 years already and seeing this video, I am soooo grateful! I want to explore more of videography yet I still don’t have the means to get a higher end Sony camera just yet 😅 Thank you so much for sharing this and making me realize I haven’t updated my firmware for the longest time already!
Same
how do i know if the firmware isn’t the latest on my a6000
For people who never shoots video on a6000 (me) that's so useful to have some simple receipt to start from. Thank you!
Should i buy this camera second hand ?
And is it any good
@@stopcam.iso_1 It's good enough. But I can only agree with Craig (take a look on below comment), if possible try to find something newer like 6300
@@thehorologychannel a6400 or canon r50 ??
@@stopcam.iso_1 Never used any of them. @kraigpruett might have an advice for you though :)))
It really depends on your budget. With the A6000 line basically all of the sensors perform really similarly from the A6100-A6600. As far as the Canon R50... I don't mess with Canon lol.
This setting finally provided me with exactly what I was looking for, thank you for this!
Gonna buy this a6000 for starting in video + a dji drone, thank you for the explanation !!
It doesn't have built in stabilization if you wanna do video you're better off getting a camera with that built in otherwise use a tripod. Built in mic video audio is not that great. Its great for stills tho it's a really good camera but you sacrifice some nice percs found on sightly more expensive cameras.
I started with this camera and the first DJI MINI good comgo but also got a gimbal the weevils with Iin specialness on ZHYUIN online store fro $250 but go to used market theirs a lot of gimbals for cheap also for the camera and drone thats a good starter package to start filming now o have the A6400 as B cam the Drones went almost thru all of them but stayed with the DJI Mavic Pro2 and Zoom and have the FX30 for A cam gimbal still same one its a very good gimbal already 4 yrs with it works like new but Sam ready to update since I got my FX30 and lenses SURUI Sniper Series lenses cheap F1.2 and for a god price and its up their with lenses that cost over 1 thousand dlls for one I got 3 for 800 very good lenses
@@theboycheef841what would you recommend getting then that is not that much more expensive than this one?
@@realredsteel probably sony zv 1f
@@theboycheef841 Thanks, will check it out.
All of that plus learning to use light more intentionally changes the game!! Thanks!
Yo thanks a lot! i really need this vid for my A6000 😁
So glad this helped!
Found our old a6000, dusted it off and applied your settings! Very easy & much better videos.
Thank you for the great information 🙂 I have had my Sony a6000 for a few years now, and it has mostly just sat and collected dust. I'm finally going to start utilizing it as my main camera for live streaming. This will help greatly, much appreciated. 🙏
finally i can see what is my a6000 capable of, thanks bro you just gain new subscriber!
After you state a piece of information you need to pause a few seconds before going to the next subject. The pause again before beginning your lesson.
Thank you for making this video I just started doing photography and it’s a great way to learn how to record cinematic videos again thank you peace and love
Selling all of my "pro" Sony FF stuff to go to an antiquated gfx 50s. Keeping the a6000 though just for it's size and weight. Great little camera that I can pretty much get into any venue even with the 70-350. Throw on the 20 2.8 and it fits in my pocket. I pretty much recommend this to everyone wanting to get into photography on a strict budget. I don't think you can find anything close to such a capable camera for $200. Maybe a canon 5dii. Better IQ but size, weight, and AF come into play.
Man , great content. Deserve more subscribers. Good luck 👍
Happy to help!
I find it helpful to save the settings for video into one of the memory recall slots so I don’t have to set everything up each time I decide to record a video
Thanks so much
There is someone about the a6000 that the image looks 👌🏻👌🏻. I own a a6500 and the rolling shutter on 4k is such a disappointment. I rather film in 1080p for moving shots.
Yeah the rolling shutter is ROUGH haha.
Heyyy, I just watched your video and I wonder, what after all that stuff you showed, your workflow in davinci resolve looks like. Because I struggle a lot with what color space to use, what to do with this fresh non log footage. Thanks !
This is awesome, thanks! Any suggestions for audio recording?
Yoh thanks just what iv been looking for i jusy got the A6000 with 50m FE 1.8 lens
Thank you for the video…..BUT what’s the best lense to use to create videos?
Want to start creating videos for my barbershop.
which lense do you use?
I have one and really like it but never use it enough. Wish I got some kind of introduction class to get a better use of it.
What lenses do you use?
Hey appreciate the information! I shoot on the a6400 so I’m sure all of this can apply to my setup as well. Are there any other key settings or tips you can give on the a6000 series/S-log 2?
Great advice here! Wish I saw this when I first started using my a6k for video lol.
Great information! What lens do you recommend for this?

@@kraigpruett thk you!!
Which lens is that ? And does lens type truly matter?
Is there a remote that you recommend for the Sony a6000? Thanks!
What lens do you have?
Which resolution is best to shoot fast moving objects like cars and motorcycles.
Wht lens u using and viltrox 85mm is good?
i am giving up using my a6000 cause i don't know what to setup, thank you i found this tutorial! and what lens do you use at 3:13 ? that's really nice bokeh and at 3:21 that's really fast auto focus
I used the 24-105 f/4 g lens from Sony :)
@@kraigpruett what a lens! Even in f4 it have really nice bokeh, well thank you 🙏
Been trying to shoot with my a6000 for talking head, but whenever I shoot in autofocus, the corners of my footage look like they’re shaking. I believe that’s called focus breathing. Have you experienced this? I’m using a Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 as well
Use a higher aperture and lock your focus - then it will never hunt
Hi, which lens is that?
Any disadvantage to always shooting in 60fps, so that in post there's the option to shift to 30p or 24p later if desired?
What is a good microphone for this camera?
For tiktok videos what is the best lens? Also can the kit lens make good tik tok vids...thanks
What is your main lens for video?
Thank you bro
Hello:) I really enjoy your content and I was wondering why you never talked about the a5000? Can you make a video on that Camera? would be highly appreciated :) Greetings from Germany
What lens do you have
Please let me know the best gimbal for a6000
whats a good set up for high school football
Thanks!! 👌
Does lens actually matter
Thanks for the tutorial. The issue I experienced was my file format saying. My memory card does not support recording of XAVCS movie. Changed the file format or change the memory card I did change the memory card and still got the same notification
You are probably using a really cheap SD card. Try one that is rated at V60 or V90 (which is way higher than you need) but should solve your problem
@@kraigpruett am using the SD that came with the Camera
@@GLOW_WITHIN1used XC graded sd card that would solve ur problem. Your sd card rn is hc one that why
Hey there, love your videos and i am thinking to buy and old used camera and i got a deal on Facebook marketplace. I am getting a Sony a 6300 for 300 usd. Should I get it.❤❤
That’s an amazing price for an A6300! Do it!!
what best wide lens for daily vlogging? i have a6000 with kit lens
get a 18mm any brand if low on budget, i recommend sigma if you got no pain in money, then you good to do vlogging
The Sony 20 2.8 might be good for you. Some off brand lenses don't work so great on the a6000 I've noticed with AF. The Sony 10-18, 16-70, and 18-105 all have image stabilization which helps a ton with the a6000
Супер, дякую за відео, все чітко і ясно) удачі в розвитку каналу
I’m just starting what do I buy to shoot video like sd cards/and or equipment? I just want to shoot a nice action cinematic video for my sons football game and add music
Wouldn’t I want my video to be sharp? Why would I bring the sharpness down and not up? Please explain, I’m new in the videography world
I have a problem, when i go to change my movie mode the function is greyed out and when I select it it says "This operation or setting not available as follow: shoot mode, manual exposure." Any idea on what this means and how I can fix it?
thank youu
Happy to help!
fantastico
At 3:22 how do I get my camera to focus on the object in front. It stays blurry
Set the autofocus to continuous
How do I transfer the clips from my a6000 to my desktop(Mac). The videos either don’t show in none of the folders and if they do, it doesn’t give me an option to download or open to editing software.
Same for me
Same for me
Hey I’m new to cameras and using my sonya6000. Any idea why I can’t see my videos on my sd card? ☹️
Check through subfolders when you see your SD card open on your computer. You will find the video files, it just takes some clicking around.
In my opinion it is a bad idea to capture videos with 60p in 1/120. Mostly because there is no motion blurr and it looks more stuttering/restless than with 1/60. I made lots of videos that have 60p 1/60 and there was never any problem with it. It looks smooth and way better than 24p for me. I think the rule with double the shutter speed is not practical with 60p and a relict from old days. Did anyone tested these settings and compared it with the a6000? Is there any problem with that?
Can someone explain to me why my Sony Alpha 6000 automatically stops after 23:30min video? The energy-saving mode is at the highest setting (30min)
I have the same problem. I hope someone will replies to us.
My camera is up to date but i only have the option for 25 or 50 fps😢
That means you have the PAL 50i version of this camera. If you look on the bottom of your camera, you’ll see the serial number as well as a tiny little 50i logo on the bottom. Thankfully, you do have the option to switch the camera into NTSC mode navigating into your set up menu. Switch the camera into NTSC and that will give you access to 24, 30, and 60 frames per second shooting.
@@kraigpruett but shooting in PAL is better, no?
@@hedl.l8495no all depends on where you are from as lights have different settings in US and Europe. Use the one which is for your region. 25/50
Is Europe
Ayooow am still a6000 user
Okay but how do I stop the screen from going black? haha that viewfinder is SO sensitive!
There’s a function under display called Finder/Monitor - you have to manually change it to monitor- it’s probably on auto by default
@@theundrgrnd_ 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So don’t shoot using the picture profile?
The A6000 doesn’t have “picture profiles”. Just creative styles.
I don’t have a XAVC S option and I don’t have 24p, 30p, 60p 50MM. Am I missing something? Do I need to update the camera? I’m genuinely confused
You are probably on the original firmware. You will want to update your firmware!
@@kraigpruett it took me hours yesterday after I commented but I finally got it updated. Haha Thank you 🤝
@@ModernCultlove to hear it!!
something isn't right though, my creative style is greyed out and it's set to the same mode as yours
Hmmm, try out changing all different settings, check for picture styles are off maybe,
make a video on a6400 in 2024
I’ll see if I can!
can you please recommend me a camera that is slightly more expensive and better than sony a5100
A6300
Videos quality in my a6000 is a big disappointment. Photos are excellent, but video, even 1080 x 60 fps is looking pure.
What lens do you use??
