He is a Senior Lecturer in Photography at RMIT University and has published twenty photography titles for the International publisher Focal Press.  \nHis books have been translated into 7 languages including Chinese and Russian and have been adopted widely across Europe and the USA as curriculum texts for aspiring commercial photographers.  \nMark owned the original Alpha 100 and currently owns an A99, A6000 and A7 .  \nBack to Contents Page  \n4  \nWhy customise your A6000 camera?  \nThe Sony A6000 is a camera built for enthusiasts that is highly customisable to meet the demanding needs of a broad range of photographers. This guide has been designed to provide you with ideas and suggestions so that you can start on the path to customise your own A6000 camera.  \nAfter extensive shooting with the Sony A6000, I have now settled on the custom settings that enable me to work quickly and intuitively to maximise control and creativity in all shooting situations.  \nNote > The settings outlined in this guide are suggestions only and are not intended as definitive settings that will suit all photographers.  \nBack to Contents Page  \n5  \nGetting Started  \nTo customise the settings of the camera press the ‘Menu’ button (1) and navigate the menus using the‘Control Wheel’(2) . Press the ‘Center button’(3) to select an option and press the Menu button to cancel or move back to the main menu.  \nThe camera can be customised by using the first two tabs of the menu.  \nCamera Settings  \nCustom Settings  \n2  \n3  \nBack to Contents Page  \n6  \nCamera Settings  \nBack to Contents Page  \nDrive Mode  \nDrive Mode allows the photographer to choose various options for triggering the shutter of the camera. Drive mode can be accessed via the Camera Settings menu but is more commonly accessed from the 4-way switch on the back of the camera. The Drive Mode options include Single Shooting (the camera takes one picture each time the shutter button is depressed) and Continuous Shooting (the camera keeps taking pictures when the shutter button is held down) . Other options include Self-timer and Bracketed images (taking multiple pictures with different settings) . The sensor on the A6000 has a very broad dynamic range so I typically increase the exposure bracketing from 0.3 EV (exposure value) to 2.0 EV. This is because minor adjustments to exposure (0.3 EV) can easily be made in Photoshop.  \nBack to Contents Page  \nAF: Illuminator  \nThis may not be a major concern for many photographers but I prefer to switch the AF illuminator to the ‘Off’position. In low light conditions I would prefer not to shine a bright red light into the scene I am photographing. In theses instances, if the autofocus cannot find the edge contrast to aid focus, I prefer to switch to manual focus.  \nBack to Contents Page  \n9  \nAdjusting Quality: Stills  \nThe default Quality setting for the A6000 camera is to capture Fine Quality JPEGs.
