How to use Sony a6000 Kit Lens + Sony 16-50mm

In this tutorial I show you how to use the Sony 16-50mm kit lens that came with your Sony a6000. I go over some very important concepts to help you understand your settings. We cover focal length, lens information, minimum focusing distance, variable aperture zoom, constant aperture zoom, maximum aperture, minimum aperture, prime lenses, zoom lenses, and so much more. I then cover a handful of scenarios using the kit lens.

    They're still selling the a6000 in 2022 and I just got one. Thanks to your videos I was able to refresh my photography knowledge and get back into the hobby. I took a college photography course back in the 80's before digital cameras became popular. Getting to know the camera's operation and quirks has been much easier thanks to camera guy and KZread. Digital is very cool! I used a D50 back 20 years ago, but I never thought of going online for tutorials, and so I never learned the camera properly. I'm still struggling with the focus modes on the a6000, but I'll keep messing around with it until I get comfortable.

    Bro I'm gonnna be honest before watching your videos I didn't know a fn clue of how to use a camera let alone focus length shutter speed ,aperture etc. But ever since I started watching you . You tought me so many things bout my camera . So thanks for that !!! I got a sony a6000 rn but I plan on switching to the 6500 later in time . For now ima buy the 35 mm 50 mm and 18-100 f4 I believe ? Don't exactly remember the names in my head but i don't wanna buy them all good things to show off and say hey look at my 1300$ camera or 400$ or 500$+ lens and not now how to use them . I wanna do this as a hobby . Keeps me busy I keep my dog busy cause he's always with me and I will get to take the most awesome photographs and I keep getting better cause practice makes perfect . So thank you bro . You deserve all the good things for teaching ppl how to use what we enjoy 😊✌️

    Bought my first proper camera a couple days ago - the A6000, and I've been watching all of your videos about it and the lenses. Took me about 6 hours in total with pausing and trying things out, but it has helped a lot. I was surprised that even the kit lens can offer some decent shallow depth of field and ok landscape shots. Thanks! Also, if anyone has any advice for a good wide-angle lens for the A6000, that would be much appreciated.

It has a SMC Pentax-A 1:2 50mm manual lens on it. I had purchased the adapter so I can mount it on the A6000. Excited to practice with manual focus. I also have a Tamron AF 70-300mm 1:4 - 5.6 LD lens, but I'm not sure if there is an adapter for the a6000.
