    I just bought my sony a6000 and I'm really overwhelmed with all the features, buttons, and possible settings. Out of all the videos I've seen on setting up the camera, yours is the most useful, concise, and the easiest to follow.

You've started with settings reset and that just says that you know what you are doing! And the tips were useful as well, even though I knew some of them. I definitely gonna watch your other tutorials, thanks again and good luck!

    Good video. I looked at your Cheat Sheet page and I am amazed at the work you must have put into all the Cheat Sheets for all the cameras and lenses. I'm going to buy a set for my Nikon D750 and see what you have. I am an intermediate/advanced photographer but I must admit I haven't learned everything about all the menu settings. I usually do everything in Manual mode and if I have time I set my flashes and strobes to manual otherwise I use TTL if I'm moving around and shooting fast. I just bought my grand daughter a Sony a6000. She has a very good eye for composition but has an old Sony a200. If I like your cheat sheets, I'm going to buy her a set for her a6000. thanks, Monty

    Thanks for the great tips. I am still learning things about this camera. I have had it since it came out 7 years ago. Love the faster auto focus tip during video. Here's a great tip that I learned the other day. You can put a small piece of black tape on the bottom part of the sensor next to the viewfinder. This will prevent the camera from switching to the viewfinder view when you move the camera closer to your body. Now the camera will only switch to the viewfinder when your eye is looking through the viewfinder.
