Hi, can you tell me how long can you record a video in one go with the a6000?

[@brianmadden4097]

@@kevinml6066 30 mins continuous. Apparently hacks to record more but may affect warranty

[@randomqueentv1354]

Thanks for helping this mama of 4! Have owned my a6000 for some time now and never used it 😔 Have gotten used to and spoiled with smartphone convenience and I have always been intimated with setting up an actual camera even though I grew up with them. Excited to use my camera for YT videos 😊 Will also be checking out your other cheat sheets!

[@letsgopops]

Hello. Great video. Question. I am using all your settings but I cannot import any videos to my phone etc only if I use MP4. The other two file format blacks out the settings?

[@imskylarmae]

This was so helpful!! I def want to get a lens that has lower aperture F numbers at some point but the quality still looked amazing when you did it. If only that screen swung all the way out.

[@JophanieTagudin]

[@pgutzar]

Muy buen video! Great video!

[@oneuptoptv]

Theres a lot of settings u didnt mention luckily i found a page in the settings that includes the entire manual along wit tips on how to achieve certain results. Great video quality, keep working.

[@LukesVanLife]

Hello, Do you ever shoot video with the selection dial on movie mode? or do you always select aperture priority? Many Thanks

[@LerieMomTV]

Thanks very much for share.! I've some question, Sir. I'm an amateur in camera. 1) Is there significant differences between the aperture and movie mode? 2) I using SDHC memory that can't shoot XAVCS just AVCHD. I've been recording with 60p 28M (PS). Is that a mistake? Because you said (in 1:20) that the 24p is the highest quality of that format.

[@gabypolancoa]

Heey! I have an a6500 and what I mainly do is vlogs, but filming in 4K saves a lot of space. Do you think doing it on XAVC S HD would be good quality? Also, is 60p50m, 30p50m or 24p50m better? Sorry for all the questions, I can't find an answer anywhere! Thank you! 🥺❤️

[@GetGooder]

How does your audio sound so good? What Mic are you using!? THANKS!

[@TylersWellness]

Thanks a ton bro! My camera used to focus on a ton of different things in the shot than just myself. Saved me! Thank you. Dropped a like buddy! You should check out some of my content and see just what you did for me!

[@TylersWellness]

PS. I have the alpha 6300, but still!

[@rezkijacob9836]

thank you! very helpful and work pretty well

[@rdomingo21]

Hi, thank you for sharing this video..you set the ISO as auto..what is the maximum iso did you set? thanks

[@bakerdj80]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@rastardee2125]

Thank you for tutorial it really works...

[@evol_from_da_chi]

Hey so the camera when I vlog is mirrored how can I invert the camera ?

[@paolapedroza3857]

Thank you for the video! But silly Question here if I want to switch back to “photo” mode Do I have to change every setting for photo? Or can I leave it at a setting that’s for both video and photo ? Please and thank you so much !

[@Justgloryn]

Wgo else is here all the times. I am here once a month to get these same settings. 🤣❤️

[@HealthyWealthy11]

How do you record audio with this camera ?

[@jackspicer3470]

Helpful, thanks!

[@lucaskny]

Which objective did you use for the a6000 in this video?

[@ItGirlAri]

What lens do you use?

[@TheFitNurse]

GREAT VIDEO!

[@kpl8623]

thank you :D

[@SrajanYaduvanshi]

Can you please tell me what settings to use for making in room videos (on tripod) for my song covers to get the bestest possible result from stock lens.

[@ripley4726]

are you using a monitor via cable and do you know if you can use a smartphone to start stop/focus for video. Thanks

[@prakharyadav11]

What lens did you use?

[@ClassicCombat]

Why do you use avchd rather the xavc-s. Also i use your settings and im using a gimbel. A lot of moments when i turn even just going straight the footage jitters. Its annoying because ive tried so many different settings and its always the same. I have a SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO UHS-I Memory Card 170MB so its not my card. I had similar issues with a gopro before using a gimbel also

[@tiffanywebb4352]

Omg!!! You have been soooo helpful!! #subscribed

[@erilongvlogs5898]

What type of lens do you have on your a6000

[@jonathanlascano8084]

which one is better canon m50 or sony a6000? in my country both are at the same price

[@2001egmhh]

first of all I would like to thank you for your support I want to ask question are this sitting with the kit lenses because when I went to record setting I didn't find 24p I only find 25p ??

[@pemancingsolovlog8332]

Mohamed Hadad you can change setting from PAL to NTSC So you will get The options 24 fps

[@fernandocerritos6021]

How do you safe your videos if you're recording in AVCHD format? The only way i can send my videos to my phone or anything else is by recording in MP4 format. Can you help me with that? I've tried using the playmemories app and imaging edge mobile app but none work for me unless i record in MP4 format

[@randellloster6577]

What camera are you using to film this video? A Sony?

[@SariisMakeup]

_Is it possible to add a microphone to this camera???_

[@lucasinindia258]

very useful，thank you so much

[@jayperez5290]

Hey I need your help! I recorded some videos but when I got to my camera gallery there are no videos:( I have no idea where they are at. I'm not sure if I messed up a settings, please help

[@vsenturk]

Thanks... Very nice...

[@ToeMosSVlogs]

Nice vid. Very helpful.

[@JulietteReacts]

For the record settings, instead of 60p and 24p my a6000 50p and 24p. Does your point still stand about choosing the lower number for a more cinematic look?

[@jaylencarroll6036]

How would I send videos to my iPhone if the file isn’t MP4. Or even to my laptop. If it’s with the settings with AVCHD?

[@uteexue9494]

what len you used

[@DetHjemme]

Hi, Is that the default lens from a6000 or other one, because mine with the same setting has poor focusing and color match at all. Regards

[@DetHjemme]

Hi, i have the cam but the video options is with 50p and i and 25p and. Not like you have in the video. Do i need firmware update or i have other series?? Regards

[@rsalgado]

I don´t have those options on "record settings". I just have: 50i 24m / 50i 17m / 50p 28m / 25p 24m / 25p 17m. I should I do?

[@jesusgaldl8138]

It means your camera is set in PAL mode. To change this you have to set in NTSC mode to it shows you 24p, 30p and 60p. Here a video that shows you how to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmGbZnRjoNJlrtk Be careful when change because it format your memory card so do a back up before.

[@nithishkumar8520]

Bro can u post settings for night pls .

[@pokatrav6569]

what if you dont want the background to be blurred out?

[@jaydeeDE]

hey thx 4 the vid, which objective (hope this is the correct name in english) are u using?

[@sovu9399]

why did you chose AVCHD? isn't XAVC S better?

[@agungpriyana8115]

Is this camera use NTSC setting?

[@Mariasosa29]

I have a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-HX80 what do you recommend?

[@kaivalyayadav2986]

Where you have connected your camera? Please reply

[@DerMberger]

Nice video! Tried these settings but during low light it becomes incredibly laggy. Any tips?

[@zanjisu]

It's because the ISO is probably in auto mode, and it is set to a very high ISO which causes the video to have grain dot effects and lag. Make sure to vlog or film in manual mode.

[@MichaelColemanR]

Mattias Welamsson It’s probably your shutter speed. If you are shooting 24p try locking your shutter to 50. If it’s 30p = 60 and 60p = 120. When the shutter drops too low by trying to compensate for low lighting it will be laggy every time. This is why in low light situations people opt for a prime lens with low aperture that can let in lots of light without decreasing shutter or increasing iso. Low shutter = lag and High ISO = grainy/noisy video. If you are stuck with only the kit lens do not use zoom in low light or the aperture will be way too high.

[@GaryJahman]

Pro tip: if you're from Europe than change the PAL to NTSC so that you have more options regarding framerate ;)

[@zanjisu]

how about Asia?

[@GaryJahman]

@@zanjisu Not sure, I thought in Asia it was NTSC already?

[@13ikea]

Mine has a lot of noise. How can i fix it?

[@azictopusgameplays]

Lower your ISO

[@Kiraaa7]

can i just use AUTO? for vlogging?

[@jaystedutro6664]

How do I play the videos I made with the camera?

[@jonathannelson4007]

Yea. I am trying to figure this out too???
