Thanks Elijah. I bought an as5000 today (but unfortunately as cheaply as you did) which I wil be taking with me on a motorcycle trip around Australia starting in a couple weeks time. Thought it would be a good camera for me to get back into more creative photograpy after spending the last few years relying on smartphone. Very good video, helped answer many questions that I had after spending a bit of time reading the instruction manual this afterrnoon and not really processing what it meant. Have a much better understanding after watching this and lots of good tips. Have looked at some of the your posts ... I enjoyed both the 'low light test' and the street vlog photography and also learnt a lot from them. BTW you take some great shots. I just subscribed and am looking forward to more of your videos. keep up the great work.
bro! thanks heaps for the sub, i have subbed to you to! i look forward to seeing your adventures. let me know if you come through WA kalgoorlie/Perth, if im not working we should T up for a meet and greet and get some shots! thanks for the encouragement! ill be putting more effort into my UA-cam side of things, gonna be doing Be hind the scenes and more camera set ups and reviews. happy new year bro
@@ElijahTichborne Wow! My first subscriber! I didn't even know that I had anything 'public' up on UA-cam. I have heaps of video footage from rides I have made in Japan, Vietnam and India as well as in Australia over the last few years but my feeling is that it is pretty boring for people to watch and I am pretty useless at video editing so it sits on my hard drive.I have been doing a bit of 'research' into moto-vlogging and am looking at mics and camera set ups at the moment and am hoping to make a start on that soon for my upcoming lap of Australia. I have biking friends in both Kalgoorlie and Perth and am plannning to catch up with them so I will definately be in touch when (if? due to Covid) I pass through WA. All the best for 2021 and I will look forward to seeing what you get up to.

Thanks for an extremely helpful video. I have a problem though, why is it that the lighting seems fine when focusing but as soon as I shoot the picture comes out darker? pls helpppp
Thanks, Elijah. Your video is very useful. Just one question. If I focus a white object in the centre, the spot metering also pointing to it, which makes the picture underexposed. How can I lock the focus on the object with half way pressing the button but move the metering spot somewhere for correct exposure? Pls advise. Thank you.

Hahaha you been sleeping on a decent camera. Bro i like the sony 50mm f1.8 oss if auto focus is needed. But i usually use the kamlan f1.1 mk2 but thats a manual lens. For wide shots i like the samyang 12mm f2 AF
@@ElijahTichborne lol. I know man, photography can be overwhelming. I just want a camera that shoots real good without buying expensive lens smh lol. Thanks for responding
Hi is there anything you recommend like a remote + tripod for this camera? I want to take my own photos of my husband and I at the beach. Or is there a self timer option where it can take many photos at once atleast? I’m very new to this lol. Thank you in advance. I have the sony a5000
Sure. There is a wheel on the back right side says ISO left side is shooting type a timer. Set timer and how many images you want it to burst. Or you can just get a cheap shutter button off ebay.
Great information, just wondering if you have an idea on how to turn off the following.. i am trying to view what i have just shot and the display screen shows on the right side of the display screen the four colours staring with the saturation of white red green and blue in what u would call a chart like manner and then all the information on the photo the actual picture then has some type of shadow that keep flashing back and forth , not sure if i am describing the correctly but honest it not pleasing to look at and wonder how I turn off , i am certain their is a setting some were. Thank you in advance
Hi, thank you so much for your video! I don’t have a manual lens like the one you showed in the video, I just have the lens that the camera came with. Do you mind telling me how to manually change the aperture on the camera if I don’t have a manual lens? Thank you!!!
Hello, I'm thinking of buying this camera for my travels. Is it good for scenic views and what is the zoom facility like. I've been use to using a compact camera in the past.
I wpuld personally get a nex 5r or nex 5t they both have flip up selfie screens. Both are better at video. They have have 1080p 60fps where as the a5000 has 1080i 60fps
Sure if you get it for a deal on the used market. I like the sony nex 5t and nex 5r better then the sony a5000. And they are cheaper on used market too. But yeah the a5000 is still very capable. Its the audio that lets it down. But u can record your talking with ya phone or another 3rd party recording device.
this is such an "ePIC" vid! LOL :P is the 16-50mm a fixed lens? and if i want to shoot a group photo with my family and friends is there timer for this camera?
I really miss the dedicated FN button. If you got used to it you just don't want to go without it. Other then that this is a very neat camera for little money (especially when buying used)
hello, your camera will have the same settings to what you had it set to before you turned it off. so when you turn your camera back on. it will be the same as you left it.
I just bought a used sony 5000 but without a lens ... please can you recommend a good lens that costs little ... because the original one costs a lot ... help me please.
Are you after auto focus? If u wanna try your hand at manual focus you can get nicer cheaper lens like meike 25mm f1.8 great low light performance at f1.8 its a small lens which suits the a5000 body as its one of the smallest if not the smallest sony e mount body. If u need auto focus. Try to find a used sony lens or if u need cheaper try a used sigma 19mm f2.8 or sigma 30mm f2.8
@@ElijahTichborne honestly I have no lens because I just bought Sony 5000 without a lens ... and arrived today and I can't see anything for that I went on the internet to look for the original lens but found it expensive, for this I need one that does not exceeds 50 euros.thanks again
@@ElijahTichborne actually, the sony a5000 16-50 lens is quitr good as a kit lens... what I have against ALL kit/zoom lenses for beginners is that people end up using just the wide angle side and are actually held back from using other focal lengths. 2-3 primes are much better to hepl you take better photos.
hey there, i’ve just gotten this camera and was wondering why i cannot change the volume of the camera? it says function is currently disabled when the camera is up to date
hey mate i just wipped the camera out and had a look. you cannot change the volume level on the onboard mics. make sure you have "Wind noise reuct" turned off to help improve the audio. - try and speak where there is no wind present - try to speak close to the camera so you will need a wide lens or set you lens to 16mm or 18mm if you have either of the sony kit lenses. if you still do not like the sound quality buy a lav mic and record onto your phone and sync audio and video in post. another option is buying a Zoom recorder but now your having to spend a lot more money. you just need to ask your self whats gonna be the best bang for buck and can you work with the choice you make. for an example: if you have to sync you audio and video every time this might end up discouraging you. as its more work. hope this helped you.
yes this really helped me out thankyou for that! as my volume was set on 7 and i saw yours was set to 15 on your video so i was just wondering ~ i’ll be in close enough proximity whilst vlogging so the internal mics should be okay - thanks a bunch! :)
Just got this camera second hand as I’m just starting off. It didn’t come with an SD card. What SD card do I need to buy? I’ll need it to be good for shooting Yt vids ?
Hey mate i only use sandisk and samsung. Make sure you buy from a trusted shop in store or online. I have been scammed on ebay before. You can find 32gb cards on sale at alot of stores. I picked one up for $16AUD not long ago. I have been happy with it for photo and videos at 1080p
I don't know how much it matters on this camera, but yesterday I got an error message on my drone saying the card couldn't write as fast as the drone camera can shoot video - so get a fast card!
Hi, In my Sony Alpha 5000, ISO changss does not affect anything while shooting a movie in Program Auto Mode. Sony service center could not help either. Please please pleas help me to rsstore thdse settings.
Hey mate the auto mode automatically calculates exposure and sets the iso, apature and shutter speed to what the camera thinks its best. I recommend you shoot photos in manual mode. And shoot video in video mode or manual mode. If u want to talk more hit me up on facebook
Is there a smarter way to delete photos than the ways with the camera? I bought the camera secondhand with about 250 pictures on, and the old owner had deleted them on her computer. This just makes the pictures become corrupt and the camera extreemly slow. So i dont know if there's an application or something like that
Go to 'delete' in camera (in the playback icon(?) near in the right side), click delete, click delete image that you choose, zoom out to see image and check every image you want to delete... click ok, donee
@ Elijah Tichborne hi brother after i watch your video do reset the camera as you did so now my camera not support to the lane and i hear you said i have to up date in google, so could you please send the link description for me to up date and i hope you can do another video about the up date too
i recommend the sony nex 5n or is you need a flip screen go the sony nex 5r these are much better then the a5000 when it comes to video, and the hand grip is better, so you have better controle of the camera i lens i have on is a kamlan 28mm f1.4 i dont use it as much as i use my kamlan 50mm f1.1 mk11. but i recommend buying the sony e mount OSS 35mm f1.8 and the sony e mount OSS 50mm f1.8 what ever you go for make sure your aperture is fast so anything with a f1.1, f1.2, f1.4, f1.8, f2, f2.8 these will keep you encouraged to keep going when starting out. A big mistake beginners do is go for the kit lens. kit lens will discourage a majority of users
@@ElijahTichborne thanks for the reply mate. I've been looking at getting a second hand Nikon. Maybe a D5300 or P900? What do you think of these? Its mainly for recreational and personal use. For buildings and wildlife or in the park etc
@@Kimbernana body dosnt really matter, as long as it can shoot 1080p for movies with at least 60fps, you can get some great shots with that. the magic comes from the lens. the reason i love sony is the E mount has SOOOOOO many lens, and so many 4rd party lens you can get for so cheap. really is incredible what you can achieve at a low cost.
@@ElijahTichborne What is the disadvantage of the kit lens with its aperture - it's f3.5. How do you mean it discourages us new users? Thank you for the video!
@@dimitriskopsidas7871 it can discourage new shooters in the sence they might expect to pay all this money and then not get the blurry background (bokeh) kit lens is cheap 2nd hand. But u might be best buying a cheap lens with a wide appature. As its easir to get nicer shots with wide appature wh3n ya starting out.
@@sumanbharati7285 do you take pics in low light? Most of the time or some times? What do you take pictures of? Landscape? People? Portraits? Groups of people?
click menu button click camera settings go page 2 set file format to AVCHD set record settings to 50i 24m(FX) or 60i 24m(FX) depending on where you are in the world good luck and have fun :D
very thorough ...thanks for the vid. Been looking for a lightweight body mirrorless cam for a while. The Sony a7c is sweet but the price!!!! So i think the a5000 or a5100 is a cheaper alternative to the a7c. oh did subscribed!
hey mate, i have used all the sony nex range too, the sony nex rt or the sony nex 5r are a better option to the sony a5000 if you were walking it for more video. if photos what you were doing more of then the a5000 is better

Have had this camera for close to five months and used it for a couple of jobs and Nop.. it only shoots 8bit video in the standard picture profile.. so there's no log picture profiles built into this camera. Hope it this helps
yes but only in 1080i not 1080p if you need a budget camera with selfie flip screen i recommend the sony nex 5r or 5t these shoot at 50/60fps at 1080p so better video.

@@akhiehito no worries bro. It looks like you can but not sure aboug the clean output. Looks like you cang get rid of the info (like shutter speed, iso, quality at what your shooting at. All that kind of info off the screen. I seen one guy crops in to get rid of the info
50i is really 25p on this camera. There is no point of shooting in 50i. Sony never updated this to XAVC unfortunately. Your best use of this for video is probably as a streaming device. To maximize image quality and dynamic range you should use portrait with sharpness and contrast on -3 and saturation at 0.

Great aps-c camera, literally the cheapest modern camera you can get. It should be noted though that it is not a photographer's camera; the plastics is the lowest, squeaky quality, screen is horrible and and low light iso above 2000 is.. a joke.
yeah mate, i agree i dont normaly go past 1000 even on my a6500 and a7, i try to keep my iso down as much as possible with wide aperture, lower shutter and help of lighting. no one thinks the a5000 is a photographer camera or a video camera, it is very capable in both, but its a hobbyist camera. for the price you pay and the results you get is great value.
Well.. I for one😂 thought it would be a good family camera, but mostly because of the 280 euro price tag. Not that it hasn't been good, but I found out it wasn't as pocket-friendly as I assumed (even pancake lenses make it quite bumpy) and in low light the sensor wasnt really in the same league with the likes of fuji and others.
I was looking at your profile pic and thought "another anime picture" but omg it's actually accurate. That's awesome
Hahahaaha thanks heaps mate. I got it done on fiverr. I think it was only $30

Sure if you get it for a deal on the used market. I like the sony nex 5t and nex 5r better then the sony a5000.
And they are cheaper on used market too.
But yeah the a5000 is still very capable.
Its the audio that lets it down. But u can record your talking with ya phone or another 3rd party recording device.
@@ElijahTichborne thank you so much this was very helpful I’ll have a look with the other two cameras you talked about
@@Qetsia your very welcome. Happy new year
How do I send images directly from camera to my phone quickly without cords?
Which lens did you put it???
This lens in photo is kamlan 28mm f1.4
Hello. My friend. I want buy lent for my camera sony a5000 what size buy and number work with my Sony a500
hello friend, when looking for a lens, search for E mount. great lens to start with is a 50mm F1.8
Hey how do you get the veiw display to come on when u use HDMI cable with a capture card and flip the a5000 display up. I tried Ctrl HDMI but nothing
I wanna know the same 😂
this is such an "ePIC" vid! LOL :P
is the 16-50mm a fixed lens? and
if i want to shoot a group photo with my family and friends is there timer for this camera?
I really miss the dedicated FN button. If you got used to it you just don't want to go without it. Other then that this is a very neat camera for little money (especially when buying used)
100% buying used is the best option. Great bang for buck.
Hey Elijah, does the sony a5000 have a memory setting. So you don't have to re-enter all the setting every time you boot up the camera ?
hello, your camera will have the same settings to what you had it set to before you turned it off.
so when you turn your camera back on. it will be the same as you left it.
but no it dosnt have a 1 or a 2 memory setting so you can switch between video modes with different settings like the a6000 series do.
I just bought a used sony 5000 but without a lens ... please can you recommend a good lens that costs little ... because the original one costs a lot ... help me please.
Are you after auto focus? If u wanna try your hand at manual focus you can get nicer cheaper lens like meike 25mm f1.8 great low light performance at f1.8 its a small lens which suits the a5000 body as its one of the smallest if not the smallest sony e mount body. If u need auto focus. Try to find a used sony lens or if u need cheaper try a used sigma 19mm f2.8 or sigma 30mm f2.8
@@ElijahTichborne honestly I have no lens because I just bought Sony 5000 without a lens ... and arrived today and I can't see anything for that I went on the internet to look for the original lens but found it expensive, for this I need one that does not exceeds 50 euros.thanks again
@@S.A.L.A.F.I yes the original kit lens is trash. People normally sell them for cheap on the used market.
@@S.A.L.A.F.I your best bet is look on facebook market place for used gear. Look up "sony e mount lens". And try ebay.
@@ElijahTichborne actually, the sony a5000 16-50 lens is quitr good as a kit lens... what I have against ALL kit/zoom lenses for beginners is that people end up using just the wide angle side and are actually held back from using other focal lengths. 2-3 primes are much better to hepl you take better photos.
*thank you goku, very cool.* 👏👏
Thank you my fellow dbz fan 🙏😁
hey there, i’ve just gotten this camera and was wondering why i cannot change the volume of the camera? it says function is currently disabled when the camera is up to date
hey mate i just wipped the camera out and had a look.
you cannot change the volume level on the onboard mics. make sure you have "Wind noise reuct" turned off to help improve the audio.
- try and speak where there is no wind present
- try to speak close to the camera so you will need a wide lens or set you lens to 16mm or 18mm if you have either of the sony kit lenses.
if you still do not like the sound quality buy a lav mic and record onto your phone and sync audio and video in post.
another option is buying a Zoom recorder but now your having to spend a lot more money. you just need to ask your self whats gonna be the best bang for buck and can you work with the choice you make. for an example: if you have to sync you audio and video every time this might end up discouraging you. as its more work.
hope this helped you.
yes this really helped me out thankyou for that! as my volume was set on 7 and i saw yours was set to 15 on your video so i was just wondering ~ i’ll be in close enough proximity whilst vlogging so the internal mics should be okay - thanks a bunch! :)
we all have the sony a 5000 camera we all should do a contest like we all make a music video that whould be nice elijah what you thing about that
Thats a dope idea. But im flat out with work. I havnt been able to make a youtube video in ages.
Okay cool
i like your hair man like bezita dragon ball anime
Hahah thanks heaps. 😁
Happy new year mate 👊
Just got this camera second hand as I’m just starting off. It didn’t come with an SD card. What SD card do I need to buy? I’ll need it to be good for shooting Yt vids ?
Hey mate i only use sandisk and samsung. Make sure you buy from a trusted shop in store or online. I have been scammed on ebay before.
You can find 32gb cards on sale at alot of stores. I picked one up for $16AUD not long ago. I have been happy with it for photo and videos at 1080p
I don't know how much it matters on this camera, but yesterday I got an error message on my drone saying the card couldn't write as fast as the drone camera can shoot video - so get a fast card!
Hi, In my Sony Alpha 5000, ISO changss does not affect anything while shooting a movie in Program Auto Mode. Sony service center could not help either. Please please pleas help me to rsstore thdse settings.
Hey mate the auto mode automatically calculates exposure and sets the iso, apature and shutter speed to what the camera thinks its best.
I recommend you shoot photos in manual mode. And shoot video in video mode or manual mode. If u want to talk more hit me up on facebook
Is there a smarter way to delete photos than the ways with the camera? I bought the camera secondhand with about 250 pictures on, and the old owner had deleted them on her computer. This just makes the pictures become corrupt and the camera extreemly slow. So i dont know if there's an application or something like that
Go to 'delete' in camera (in the playback icon(?) near in the right side), click delete, click delete image that you choose, zoom out to see image and check every image you want to delete... click ok, donee

Elijah Tichborne hi brother after i watch your video do reset the camera as you did so now my camera not support to the lane and i hear you said i have to up date in google, so could you please send the link description for me to up date and i hope you can do another video about the up date too
Sorry mate. I only seen this msg. Did u end up finding the firmware update on google?
Hello if I want to shoot UA-cam video with his , what camera lens do you recommend
does it have custom white balance?
What’s the best lens for this camera for videoing ?
How do i get al the info of the screen
Hit the display button untill u get to the display you like
What is that Lens you have on mate? Sorry for the newb question as I'm just looking to get in to an entry level camera 👍
i recommend the sony nex 5n or is you need a flip screen go the sony nex 5r
these are much better then the a5000 when it comes to video, and the hand grip is better, so you have better controle of the camera
i lens i have on is a kamlan 28mm f1.4
i dont use it as much as i use my kamlan 50mm f1.1 mk11.
but i recommend buying the sony e mount OSS 35mm f1.8 and the sony e mount OSS 50mm f1.8
what ever you go for make sure your aperture is fast so anything with a f1.1, f1.2, f1.4, f1.8, f2, f2.8
these will keep you encouraged to keep going when starting out.
A big mistake beginners do is go for the kit lens.
kit lens will discourage a majority of users
@@ElijahTichborne thanks for the reply mate. I've been looking at getting a second hand Nikon. Maybe a D5300 or P900? What do you think of these? Its mainly for recreational and personal use. For buildings and wildlife or in the park etc
@@Kimbernana body dosnt really matter, as long as it can shoot 1080p for movies with at least 60fps, you can get some great shots with that. the magic comes from the lens.
the reason i love sony is the E mount has SOOOOOO many lens, and so many 4rd party lens you can get for so cheap. really is incredible what you can achieve at a low cost.
@@ElijahTichborne What is the disadvantage of the kit lens with its aperture - it's f3.5. How do you mean it discourages us new users? Thank you for the video!
@@dimitriskopsidas7871 it can discourage new shooters in the sence they might expect to pay all this money and then not get the blurry background (bokeh) kit lens is cheap 2nd hand. But u might be best buying a cheap lens with a wide appature. As its easir to get nicer shots with wide appature wh3n ya starting out.
When i turn on mu a5000, lens comes out automatically... is this natural or i could change it through the manual process??
This is normal for the sony 16 -50 kit lens.
It extends out when power turns on
@@ElijahTichborne thank you soo much sir.. and can you recommend me any other lenses??
@@sumanbharati7285 sure what videos or photos are you wanting to do
@@ElijahTichborne photos actually..... i used to take pictures from smart phones, this is my first experience with the camera i.e a5000.
@@sumanbharati7285 do you take pics in low light? Most of the time or some times?
What do you take pictures of?
Landscape?
People? Portraits?
Groups of people?
i want to take photos and shoot 1080p 24fps video. is this camera good for that?
It's perfect for that.
hi sir, how to setting to 60fps ?, i have this camera but i'm confused to setting 60 fps
, thx before
click menu button
click camera settings
go page 2
set file format to AVCHD
set record settings to 50i 24m(FX) or 60i 24m(FX) depending on where you are in the world
good luck and have fun

What would you recomend for a good sd card for vlogging and stuff can unlink me one for two days worth of storage or so?
Hey mate i oy use sandisk and samsung. Make sure you buy from a trusted shop in store or online. I have been scammed on ebay before.
Also i have recently baught a 32mb sd card and its plenty for me for raw photos and short video clips at 1080p
Sorry i meant 32gb not mb
very thorough ...thanks for the vid. Been looking for a lightweight body mirrorless cam for a while. The Sony a7c is sweet but the price!!!! So i think the a5000 or a5100 is a cheaper alternative to the a7c.
oh did subscribed!
hey mate, i have used all the sony nex range too, the sony nex rt or the sony nex 5r are a better option to the sony a5000 if you were walking it for more video. if photos what you were doing more of then the a5000 is better
also the sony nex 5 r and 5t are usually half the price of the a5000. well it is here in Australia.
@@ElijahTichborne thanks for the info.. ill look into it!! Looking forward to your future vids bud 👍
@@Tonkybro3 thanks so much mate. i really appreciate the support. happy new year. i hope you can find a nice deal on the used market.

hey mate if ya have dramas feel free to comment again and ill help ya as best i can. good luck mate
just a question, what picture profile does this camera have? can i shoot log or raw videos?
Have had this camera for close to five months and used it for a couple of jobs and Nop.. it only shoots 8bit video in the standard picture profile.. so there's no log picture profiles built into this camera. Hope it this helps
Hey Elijah is it possible to do 60fps with this camera?
yes but only in 1080i not 1080p
if you need a budget camera with selfie flip screen i recommend the sony nex 5r or 5t these shoot at 50/60fps at 1080p so better video.
hey there, so did it work ?
big uppp
My Sony A5000 does not turn on . Can you help me ?

Nice guys
50i is really 25p on this camera. There is no point of shooting in 50i. Sony never updated this to XAVC unfortunately. Your best use of this for video is probably as a streaming device. To maximize image quality and dynamic range you should use portrait with sharpness and contrast on -3 and saturation at 0.
thanks heaps mate this will help a lot of people who are in the comments looking for more information

Great aps-c camera, literally the cheapest modern camera you can get. It should be noted though that it is not a photographer's camera; the plastics is the lowest, squeaky quality, screen is horrible and and low light iso above 2000 is.. a joke.
yeah mate, i agree i dont normaly go past 1000 even on my a6500 and a7, i try to keep my iso down as much as possible with wide aperture, lower shutter and help of lighting.
no one thinks the a5000 is a photographer camera or a video camera, it is very capable in both, but its a hobbyist camera. for the price you pay and the results you get is great value.
Well.. I for one😂 thought it would be a good family camera, but mostly because of the 280 euro price tag. Not that it hasn't been good, but I found out it wasn't as pocket-friendly as I assumed (even pancake lenses make it quite bumpy) and in low light the sensor wasnt really in the same league with the likes of fuji and others.
