Can the Sony a6000 use A-mount lenses?

Can the Sony a6000 use A-mount lenses?

Yes. The Sony a6000 can use A-mount lenses but you will need an adapter. Sony’s A-mount lenses have a different bayonet than E-mount lenses so they can’t be attached directly. Furthermore, A-mount lenses are designed for Sony’s DSLR and DSLT cameras which have a longer flange distance (sensor to mount) than mirrorless cameras. The adapter re-establishes the distance needed for the lens to focus correctly.

E-mount vs A-mount

Sony has two adapters, the LA-EA3 and LA-EA4. The latter has a separate AF sensor inside but is more expensive. Keep in mind that despite having phase detection AF points, the a6000 is not designed to focus quickly with adapted lenses. Furthermore, its compact and lightweight design doesn’t really suit large and heavy 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...
