And it will last you for couple of more years my friend! And you are very welcome. Im having ton of fun with this camera tbh 😁

Planing to get one next month 😍😍

Omg. I bought it in 2016 and didn’t use it much because there was a lot of features on camera. I keep a camera in my drawer for so long . Now 2021 and I have to take it out and learn about it more😅😂

I bought 4 years ago and I am not going to sell it. It has all features that Photographers wants. I may invest more in lenses.

Trying to learn my a6000 in 2023…thank you !

Oh wow Clayton, I did not expect such comment and didn't even realize that this video could be so helpful to anyone. Nevertheless, it makes me truly happy that you took great pictures and thanks so much for letting me know. It really made my day 🙌

Thanks a lot mate 🔥

Go for it Meet! It still very good camera even for 2021 💪

Cheers Angel 👏

Hey Ares, I’m really happy to hear that 🙌

Thank you so much for the kind words my friend!

Cheers friend! Still a good camera

Cheers Trong 🙌

Glad to hear. Cheers 🙌

Im very happy you find it useful Syahmi 🙌

Hey Tierra, Im really glad the video was helpful. Enjoy your new camera :)

Im glad to hear that 🙌

Thank you!

Thank you! 😃

Glad this video was helpful for you buddy 🙌

You are very welcome my friend 🙌

My pleasure Kareemka! Happy to know it helped 🙌

Hey Robert! Thanks so much for your kind words 🙌 I'm very glad the camera is still going strong. Its a mighty, little beast and underestimated by many! Vintage lenses are immortal 🔥

@@TomsJurjaks I need your help in finding a setting on the a6000. I like to have the live display set in b&w (easier to compose the frame and see contrasting elements)... I recently did a reset and I DON'T REMEMBER how to get that setting back. I'm shooting in color but I want to view the display in b&w. Thank you !!

Open MENU, under first (photo) tab, go to section 4 and select "Creative Style". There - choose "B/W" option. But note that pictures also will come out Black and White. I don't know any other way.

@@TomsJurjaks Thanks Toms !!

Is it worth buying a A6000 used? I got into liking the A6000 because my friend let me used his couple times and just fell in love with the camera

Im always happy to help 🙏

Im so glad Nguyên! 🙌

🙌

Hey Tom haha, you mean if I do bracketing for 1 photo? Rarely. Because cameras can do most to of the job (recovering shadows or highlights in post).

Sure, will do buddy! And thanks for your support 🙌

Hey Robert, thanks. And no, the Lightroom's profile is their own independent thing, don't worry about matching them. Those are just Lightroom's quick "edits". If you like any of them - use them, or switch manually to neutral and edit the picture as you want.

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your kind words. To be honest, I think even the kit lens will work well enough. In food photography it is not so much about the lens/camera but about having a tripod and good light. If you want to be extra and sometimes make pictures with that nice and blurry background - you can get a prime lens (something like Sigma 30 or 56mm f1.4).

reading your comment (via google translate) I realized that my other camera, the Canon G7X mark II, shoots in 16:9 allowing the JPG to be framed but the RAW file maintains the 3:2 ratio that has saved me many times a picture.

@@selenitafm that's absolutely fine. I think the RAW images are kept in the original aspect ratio and not cropped which is good. You can then edit and crop the images to your liking. What I meant by by comment was that I prefer to have the 16:9 ratio set for shooting as that helps me to frame my shots better and to avoid "difficult" choices when cropping afterwards. I hope that makes it clear

The problem with what you're saying is, photos have always been intended to be printed to photographic paper. The ratio for photographic paper orginally derives from the most pleasing aspect ratio for portrait paintings and landscape paintings over hundreds of years. What you will soon realize, is that the best possible compromise for a single aspect ratio for either landscapes (wider on the horizontal than the vertical), and human portraits (taller on the vertical than the horizontal, is 3:2. You can turn the same 3:2 painting canvass either way, and use the same canvass to do either a single human subject portrait, or a multiple subject portrait/landscape painting. Once motion pictures became more refined, with much better lenses and high quality film, many producers decided to use a customized wide-screen aspect ratio which allowed them to depict large-scale landscapes, which are best viewed using the a wider-than-tall aspect ratio , they settled on essentially 16:9, since the size of the displayed image is huge, meaning they can simply pul back to show portraits in-film of individual human subjects, and move them anywhere in the shot. In other words, what I'm trying to say, is that it's ironic that you want to make your still photographs fit into the aspect ratio that was very specifically chosen for motion picutures. I think you're making a mistake to use 16:9 as your default, standard aspect ratio for still photos, but of course, it's your prerogative to do whatever you like. You might just regret it later.

@@Moshe_Dayan44 i can definitely see your point, and indeed, if you print your photos than 3:2 aspect ratio may work better for you. Still I rarely print my photos, and as I explained earlier, I store them digitally and watch them on my phone, tablet and TV. You're right in saying the 16:9 aspect ratio is ment for movies, but that's just how I watch my photos and I don't think I'm making a "mistake" choosing that aspect ratio over 3:2 when taking my photos. I think you also missed my point about the framing which used to give me a dilemma of which parts of the photos I wanted to crop eventually when post editing to 16:9. I found it much easier and convenient to make the framing choices BEFORE taking the shot and not in the post editing. Of course, this is how it works for me and it doesn't need to work the same way for everyone, so you need to make your own judgement

Pozhaluista 😇

Yes, exactly. Creative Styles affect only JPEGs. I was not aware of that when making the video :)

Thanks so much my friend! Whatever settings you have set, they will be "remembered" next time you turn the camera on.

I already did recently, check one of my latest videos

Hi my friend! Well the Fuji x100v is an amazing camera with a lot of cool features and will definitely produce wonderful images, however it is also 3x more expensive than a6000 and does not have interchangeable lenses (as far as I understand). I think you would be overpaying for the weather sealing, for design and all the features you don't really need. I would suggest you to go with a6000 instead and get an additional prime lens for family and portrait photos.

@@TomsJurjaks thank you, then i think i will go for the Sony a6000 😊

Hey Meshack, the menu system is newer on a6500 but principles should remain the same. I have filmed the setup for a6400 (which shares the same menu as a6500) and hopefully can finish the editing in near future so stay tuned!

You are actually right - it doesn't matter for RAW photos, only for JPEGS. I learned that recently myself (long time after making this video) 😀

Hey buddy! Please be careful with using your camera while driving motorcycle. I hope you are not the one driving and taking pictures. Regarding the lens, you definitely need a lens with OSS (optical steady stabilization) since a6000 doesn't have it. The 18-105 has OSS and it is a perfect if you just want to take one lens.

@@TomsJurjaks thanks ! No I just want to take some photos of my friend when they are riding motorcycles. I will take photo by the side of the road. Be reassured. Thanks a lot for your advise your Channel is very cool.

Huh, didn’t know that! Thanks for the tip 👌

Was editing wedding photos from a friend's camera that was set on 16:9 and it's annoying. Still had to uncrop everything in post. I yelled at him.

sry i must correct this but creative styles only affect jpegs aswell. no effect on RAW files but only the in camera view. So its still a good reason to use the neutral style to evaluate the picture in camera

Hi Andre, thanks so much for your thoughtful comment @@RAP4EVERMRC96 I did hear about this while reading comments on another video, but I have actually never tried to test it out myself. I always thought that creative style affected even RAW files but it still allows you to correct it since its RAW. Now that you are saying that it doesn't, it makes perfect sense. I learned something new today. Thanks again Andre 🙌💪

@@TomsJurjaks No problem. From what I have read the camera writes the creative style into the meta data. Sonys own RAW converter (forgot the name) can use this info to apply the creative style when developing the image in software. You can confirm this by choosing b/w creative style and magically see how your RAW images are imported with color into LR. The JPEG preview (if your RAW file has one attached) may first be b/w though. LR will change their smart preview to be in color

@@TomsJurjaks I recommend to play with the DRO feature though. Try DRO off for specific situations to judge the amount of incoming light better. I keep it off all the time, but i need it turned on aswell in very challenging situations like blue hour or even past blue hour with street lamps emitting ton of light while buildings of interest are rather dark. In those situations DRO really helps to actually see and judge your composition, otherwise you just see a dark ally with bright street lamps. If you have DRO off in such situations you can actually see how the camera applies some image processing even on live view when you hit the focus button to help the camera actually focus on what you want. I dont know if that image processing when focusing is DRO or something else but it looks pretty similar to DRO

excellent information, I did not know, thanks

Hey Taha! That video is coming up next week! And download link for my presets used in this video is in the description!

Not particularly for sports, but make sure your shutter speed is fast enough (increase ISO if needed) and have your focus mode to AF-C as well as fastest AF tracking

@@TomsJurjaks thanks bro !

They would definitely work on A6400, but the a6400 has a newer menu system, so the placement is a bit different.

Whats the issue with your photos Jennifer? What are your complaints? I've shot jewellery myself and have always found it difficult to do no matter the camera. One recommendation is to shoot in RAW so you can edit the image in Lightroom. Another thing is that usually those small boxes have way too harsh light (they are not diffused at all). My guess for a very professional work would be to avoid using these boxes but instead several separate lights with heavy diffusers. Its a lot more expensive, but I think results are then professional. So I think its more about the light than settings but I might be wrong as I dont have a lot of expertise in this particular style of photography.

Yes of course, but you will need to have specific settings for that. E.g. continues af, shooting mode to high burst mode etc.

Hey Harvey, please watch the video again, I am covering it on how to customize your FN button.

Hey buddy, they have different names. SmallRig calls them "SmallRig Rapid Link Connectors", but Peak Design calls them "Anchor Links". I have both from both brands and they both do their job very well. Good addition to your camera if you are someone constantly taking the strap off!

@@TomsJurjaks thanks bud!

Hey buddy, it actually doesn't matter which creative style you use since its RAW file and you retain full info. Your problem very likely is caused because the program (Snapseed or Lightroom) immediate applies some color profile (e.g. Color, Landscape, etc). Try to change it to NATURAL if you can find it. I don't ever edit pictures on mobile so can't tell you where to look for it but in any case, even if the image is over saturated, just use the saturation slider to decrease it and you should be fine. Image will not lose any quality. Hope it helps 🙌

@@TomsJurjaks I found the option in the settings! Thanks!: ibb.co/9h86jY4

Get the Sigma 56mm buddy! Although 85mm is amazing, it is full frame lens and will generate focal length of 130mm, therefore the Sigma 56mm will be more versatile in use.

@@TomsJurjaks thanks For your answer

Hey Ahmad, you can find the list of all of my gear (including lenses) here: jurjax.com/gear-i-use/

Hey iRahz, hmm thats really weird. Never heard of this issue. Maybe try doing factory reset on your camera and see if that helps? Seems very odd though, because most of the times I take out the battery of the camera and it never loses the settings.

@@TomsJurjaks yeah, it's very strange. First time I am experiencing this issue with a camera. I appreciate the response. I'll do a factory reset and hope for the best! Thank you

Of course you can! But remember it doesn't have mic port, 4k or 120fps. If you want all of those things, it would be better to save up for a6100 or a6400

Hi Emílie. I got that cup from a Starbucks store. Its very simple, but a perfect size 👌

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know that. I guess it would be worth using it only for landscapes then and deal with blues in Lightroom 🤷‍♂️

If they are not gonna edit the images then there is no point in shooting RAW. They need to want it and understand the benefits. But of course - it lets you grow as a photographer. I made a video about it btw saying why everyone should start shooting RAW.

I use RAW + JPEG because I like sometime to take black and white photos.

I don't understand your question Midhin. This video shows photography settings. Im not sure how can you use 60fps in photography...

I give u my camera
