I think I did not say that well. I am using the Sony a6000 cable to usb-c cable to my dell 8960 c slot. the hookup works as expected. I have gotten a camera message that my intranet is recognized and registered. but the usb connection never connects. I am not looking for equipment, just to make the connection.

I do not have another cable.

I‘m not sure to understand this correctly. What exactly is the message on the camera? It sound more like a message concerning a Wifi connection. Are you using just the one cable that came out of the box or an additional one to adapt to usb-c?

I've had various problems connecting various "things" to various computers with various operating systems using various USB cords at various times -- so you are not alone. 

My first question is "Have you connected anything else to that USB port on your computer.  That USB port may not be set up correctly or there may be some sort of computer conflict with the port.  Those can be difficult to figure out.

Can you connect other things to that USB port OK?  Is there another USB post on the computer?  Do you have another computer with a USB port?

Check your manual.  Do you need to install software on the computer before the camera can "talk" to the computer's OS?

Assuming this works the same as on my A6700:

When I connect the cable I get a message on my camera monitor to confirm the connection method. Reading from you description, you do get that message as well but do you then confirm the camera as a mass storage device by pressing OK on the camera?

Only after that your computer will recognise the device.

      Bokeh?

      By Mr. Lips · Posted

      Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.

      Sony A1 ii Focusing Challenge

      By MDEMM · Posted

      I elected to upgrade from Sony A1 to the A1 ii and am seeing some significant focusing challenges in the little time I've spent with it so far. Less than 10% of photos appear to be in focus when photographing small birds in subject mode birds with seemingly no improvement when subject mode is changed to birds/animals/people. Scenario: Sony A1 ii, 200-600 G lens @ 600mm, F6.3, shutter speed on male cardinal (in-focus mostly) at 1/250 ISO 125 and female cardinal (nothing in focus) at 1/1600 ISO 100; AF-C set with eye supposedly in focus in both shots. Lens has AF on, OSS on, Mode 1. I've tried switching out lenses using 100-400 with and without 1.4X converter and used handheld and used tripod. Photos are at a distance of 20-25 yards. The photos below are within a couple yards of one another. There is seemingly no improvement in AF performance despite the combinations of lens, tripod and focus zones attempted. Birds are stationary. Many of the photos will have everything in the frame seemingly out of focus and some may have the head in focus and rest of body out of focus and immediate area around bird slightly out of focus at F9-F11. I considered that I was cropping too much and had pixel peeping / expectations problem, but some photos are wildly out of focus when supposedly focusing on eye or body. Neither photo below is cropped. Ideas are welcome!

      Bokeh?

      Agreed, but it's ancient thinking. Any modern forum lets you edit whenever. It's simply a setting they could click to turn off. It's one reason I won't post many photos here. After 10 minutes I lose complete control over my own property.
