Maybe I have something set wrong but when recording video on my a6000 I don't see them in playback mode. I see all of the photos I have taken but no video. I'm sure they're there because when using playmemories they show up (although they won't wirelessly transfer). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Solution: Go to Menu > Playback > View Mode > Folder View (MP4)

Thanks guys I checked back in the menu and did find the video option. Strange that you can't see all photos and video unless in calendar view which is clunky.

If you have playback set to Date View, when you hit the play button, it should show everything in the order it was taken (stills or video).  If you hit the down arrow, then you can seemingly get stuck on the calendar, but just go to any date and select it, and that will take you to the list of picts and videos.  

I will admit though that it is kind of an odd setup.

Check the menus under playback - You can choose to view stills only (default), video only, and I think there is a setting that shows both by date, but I don't have my camera at work, so can't check.

For those who are confused now, in the sony alpha 6000 most of the time the setting is under menu>5th Page (this one with the "view" sign)>and than its called "view mode">just press on it with the confirm button and than select the data view thing and confirm again with the button (sometimes the data view option is already selected but it doesnt show up your video recordings, just select it again and it should work probably)

You can now see and select the movies that you want to transfer.

Then simply go to Wireless-Send to Smartphone-This Image- (even though it says 'This Image', it will transfer the Video file you are currently stopped at. Then of course connect to the Camera wifi access point on your iPhone, then. use your 'Imaging Edge Mobile' app and touch 'Start' ( which should be orange) and it transfers the video to you phone!

I've found that the USB cables never seem to sink up with the computer. Save yourself the aggravation!

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      JPEG options?

      By Cameratose · Posted

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.

      JPEG options?

      By Pieter · Posted

      If you're only publishing small-sized photo's or viewing on a phone / computer screen, 12-ish MP should be more than enough for your needs. Since with JPEG, the ability to 'fix' stuff on the computer is very limited anyway, you're not giving up much except the ability to crop/recompose after taking the shot. If you tend to crop often or might print large, shoot fine quality instead as JPEGs don't take up a lot of space anyway. I tend to shoot RAW+JPEG. After a trip/shoot, I download my photos to my computer and quickly scan through my JPEGs to select my keepers. The JPEGs are fine for 90% of my needs but at times there are one or two 'WOW'-shots that I might one day print large. I'll edit the RAW of these photos to my hearts content, generate a JPEG, then delete all RAWs to clear up space.
