You will be making the camera usable to me. I have had pdf copies printed and ring bound at Staples. I found it helpful.
Thanks.


Please tell me how much did they charge you for this, and how did you provide the pdf to them?

Two were Canon Cameras I down loaded the instructions from the Canon site onto a flash drive. Gave the drive to the person at Staples.I don,t remember the exact price. I can say it was moderate, seemed like a bargain. If it where a lot I would remember it. The ring binding lies flat. very please with the results. It was done while I waited.

I find manuals just too much information overload. Online videos are so much better. Gary Fong the wedding and art photographer has video in detail online that go over all these new Sony cameras. He tells you how to use them to their optimum.
Sony is really revolutionizing sensors and small well built creative camera's. Gary has a long form how to on all of the a7's and a6000 series.
i have to add a note that I said in one forum here the a6000 series is far better then I expected. I got the a6300 and am very impressed. But as usual Sony's menu's are crazy and don't make much sense. I have the a7s which is just great for stills and video. But the 6300 for 1k and the 6000 $400 are just great buys. I judge camera's by the look of the image. I prefer the Sony look and also like the Canon look which is warmer and softer. It is the color science of the sensor we are now buying.
Good luck.

In recent years I have acquired Sony cameras and camcorders.
They have led the pack with innovation and great pictures and amazing prices.
What we all have probably learned is Sony documentation and their menu's are very disorganized. Subjects don't group in a rational manner like a Nikon. I use google and youtube for questions "how to" and evaluation on the camera's.
Now I have to ask everyone. I have Sony a7s $2500, lens an XDCAM, also the video AX100.
I recently bought this a6000 for $399. I still keep asking myself is this camera as good as I think it is? I wish it was FF but that doesn't seem to matter in the enjoyment of shooting with the 6000. I am trying to judge the video against the great breakthrough a7 series. a7rII and a7sII great to expensive right now. Could everything be done well with this camera?
One note use google and youtube. Yesterday watched a filmmaker explain the difference between the Lumix GH4 and the Sony a7s II. No manual or book could be any better then his insights into shooting hand helded for NG and others on boats with just small camera with a good lens. I have found everything I wanted to know on the net. Google is my resource for everything. Good luck

As a very wise friend of mine one said, "Whatever problem, issue, or question you have, someone on Google has had the same situation. Just look it up." A universal truth.
One more thing: Many cameras that shoot good quality video have lots of outputs but lack a microphone or line INPUT. Very good thing to have. >Alan

Wall, I don't understand you. You have asked this same question many times. I sent you the exact address to get the a6000 manual in pdf form on the Sony site. I told you an easy, inexpensive way to have the file made into a 5.5" x 8.5" spiral bound book. No response from you; question appears again.

Others have responded with similar information. Finally, I sent you an email offering to send you a complete pdf file if you would send me your email address. Again, no answer. What kind of a game are you playing?

You rant about how bad Sony is; they don't care about their customers, etc. Yet, Sony has an extremely complete and detailed file which you, apparently, refuse to obtain, even when someone offers to spend the time to put a complete manual in your hands.

AS far as I am concerned, all offers are cancelled. Sell your a6000;Sony will be better off for it.

None of the information brought me to a site that allowed down loading a manual.
The interactive sites required opening answers to each question. I saw no way to print out an instruction book.

Have you tried this one:
http://download.sony-europe.com/pub/manuals/consumer/ILCE6000_HG_EN.pdf

There are of course also the books by Busch and Friedman, and maybe others, those you have to pay for. Although well worth it!
