Can I use Canon or Nikon lenses on the Sony a6000?

Yes. You can use Canon and Nikon DLSR lenses on the Sony a6000 but you need an adapter, just as with A-mount lenses. The same reasoning that I wrote above applies here as well (flange distance). You can find many Canon EF to Sony E-mount or Nikon F to Sony E-mount adapters but don’t expect great autofocus performance. Note that you can’t adapt new lenses designed for Canon and Nikon mirrorless systems. Nikkor Z, Canon EF-M and RF lenses won’t work on the a6000.

Some adapters are manual focus only which can be a problem because many Canon and Nikon DSLR lenses don’t have an aperture ring, so you need to find an adapter that can let you control these settings electronically (the adapter must have electronic contacts on the mount). Again my opinion is that it is not really worth it, unless you’re planning to adapt older manual focus SLR lenses such as Canon FD glass or old Nikon lenses.

An adapter with electronic contacts will allow you to control the aperture from the camera when using recent Canon or Nikon DSLR lenses.

Sony a6000 Video Settings

Sony a6000 Video Settings Let’s look at settings for video, for the highest quality settings you want file format XAVCS, if this is greyed out it’s because you need a certain type of memory card, an SDXC memory card. By using one of these you’ll get the best quality video from your a6000. This is on the menu under Camera Settings > Tab 1 > File Format Then change the record setting to choose either 60 fps or 30fps, 60fps is great for smoother footage, which you could slow down for b-roll footage. You can change this under – Camera Settings > Tab 2 > Record Setting 60p = 60 fps 30p = 30 fps The a6000 lacks proper picture profiles such as Cine4 or S-log, which is understandable seeing the camera’s age, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get some cinematic-looking video from the a6000. In absence of picture profiles, I use these settings to shoot video. I like to use the Portrait creative style which you change on – Camera settings > tab 4 > Creative Style and...

Sony a6000 Photography Settings

Sony a6000 Photography Settings Let’s have a look now at some example photos I’ve taken with the a6000. These settings change quite a lot depending on the type of shot for portraits. Have your aperture open as wide as possible, this is the f-number and is easiest to change using the aperture priority mode. This will give you out-of-focus backgrounds that make the subject of your portrait stand out more and give your shots a professional look. Another setting I would recommend using is AF-S focus mode, which means Autofocus single. Which essentially locks the focus to a single point of a stationary subject. If your subject is going to move around AF-C may be a better choice. You can find this option in the menus under camera settings > Focus mode. For a full explanation of focus modes check out this video where I go into more detail. For landscapes, I like to use the lowest ISO of 100 if you’re shooting in bright light this will shoot with the least noise possible in your s...
