Sony A6000 and GPS

Will Sony release a new model from A6000 with GPS !?  I really would like to have this feature in the camera directly instead of using the mobile phones to sync the  GPS coordinations.  Zein

I would agree David.  While I am sure that the GPS function is a "must have" feature for some, it is not of importance for others.  Sony likely had to make a decision on which feature they felt would be more important to the greater number of buyers.  In todays cell phone era of photography, with instant sharing to social media being all the rage, I am sure Sony felt that WiFi and NFC would be a hotter feature than GPS. I have an older Sony Cybershot model with GPS, and frankly never used it.  It is a drain on the cameras battery. I found that there are better alternative for tagging photos in Lightroom. Some smart phone based such as GeoTag Photos and gps4cam, others hardware based. Lightroom has the ability to read .gpx tracks from handheld GPS units and gps loggers.  These will last all day without draining the cameras battery. I am sure the lack of GPS is a deal breaker for some, others will appreciate the WiFi and NFC and work around the GPS. It is all in what compromises you can best live with.

  • Sony a6000 and iMovie

    This is perhaps not a strict iMovie question, but a general video question. I got the Sony A6000, which has many video formats. The top is AVHCD 60p, but I already googled that 60p is not compatible with iMovie (in fact, it's not even imported to my Mac). I tried AVHCD 60i; that does import, but I get artifacts (look at the bucket in the picture). So, which video format should I use for best results for Apple? I would prefer a format that, for example, can be directly viewed on iPad without further editing (although eventually I will edit in iMovie).

    Hey, I just bought the same camera and it works perfectly on iMovie 08. I'm not sure about 09, but I imagine it will work on there as well. Good luck!

  • CS6 will not read/open Sony a6000 raw files

    Have just purchased a Sony a6000 and I shoot in raw. When I came to retrieve the files from Bridge in CS6 it will not open them. The software shows up to date and if I try to open directly in CS6 nothing shows up. My Nikon downloads fine in raw. Please offer advice to start downloading my photographs.

    The Sony a6000 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.4

  • I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them

    I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them out in Photoshop but got a error saying that camera raw was out of date with my new camera.  Even after updating my Photoshop CS 5 extended with camera raw 6.7    I beleive the exact wording was "camera not supported by the current version of Camera Raw"
    Is there another version of Camera raw I can download that will allow this or is my camera just too new for the version of photoshop I have?
    Thanks

    Adobe’s camera support list suggests you need ACR 8.4 or newer:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Your camera is several years newer than the last ACR plug-in CS5 will host.
    If you’re not quite sure you want to spend the money for a new PS, then you can download and use the free DNG Converter 8.4 or newer to make DNGs from the ARW files and those DNGs will have enough new information embedded in them for an older ACR plug-in to work with.  Of course this is more cumbersome than opening the files natively in PS-CC with the newest ACR plug-in.
    The most obvious thing would be to subscribe to the CC Photography Plan and get the current versions of both LR and PS-CC for $10/month.   There is a minimum OS requirement of 10.7 or Win 7 currently and maybe 10.8/Win7 for LR6—not sure about the next PS version because Adobe hasn’t publically said as far as I know.
    One thing you haven’t seen using only PS-CS5/ACR6.x is that CS6/ACR7 or newer, there is a new toning model that seems superior for most images.

  • I bought LR5.  They sent me LR 5.2.   ONly 5.4 and up works with my Sony A6000. Now 6 is out.  How can i get this upgrade?

    I just purchased this Light Room 5.  Turns out they sent me the 5.2 version. Only 5.4 and above opens raw photo's with my Sony A6000 pictures.  I have been on hold 2 hours. HOw do I reach a human being at this dam company!
    I'm told I get an upgrade as long as it's within 30 days of the purchase.  I have owned it for only a few days...  Can someone steer me. FYI I bought the LR5 via B&H on the internet. They told me to call Adobe.  Having trouble getting through :-)

    You can download 5.7.1 - a free update here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows

  • I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

    I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

    You can either upgrade to Lightroom 5.4 or later, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 to convert your RAW photos to DNG, which then will import into Lightroom 4.

  • I upgraded to PSE 13 so I could edit RAW files from my Sony a6000 but PSE 13 is not recognizing any of the RAW files. My Sony a6000 is on the Camera Raw list and uses version 8.4. PSE 13 uses Version 8.6. Why isn't it recognizing the files?.

    Why isn't PSE13 recognizing my Sony a6000 RAW files?

    Not sure if upgrading to 8.7 would make any difference.  Photoshop has 8.7 so worth a try:
    I don't use PSE13 yet so don't know if this upgrade is available for it.

  • I have downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the Sony a6000 camera.  However it is not opening the images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    Close and restart Photoshop if you have not already done so.
    In Photoshop, go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu then choose Camera Raw.  What version does it say there?

  • Sony a6000 raw files

    I have a Sony A6000 camera and can't seem to get Lightroom 5.6 to recognize the files and download them on a PC running Windows 8.  No problem on a Mac.   The Windows PC will see it with windows explorer but can't seem to get Lightroom to recognize the raw files.  I saw some articles about downloading a a plugin for lightroom but no where can I find where to download anything.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks... Gary

    That camera has been supported since version 5.4 of Lightroom. Are you sure you have Lightroom 5.6 installed? There is no plug-in for Lightroom to provide the camera support. Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in.

  • Unable to open raw files from Sony A6000

    I get this message:"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw," when I try to open files from the Sony A6000 though I have downloaded the most recent verisions of Camera Raw. The converter works but not CS5.
    Any suggestion from anyone.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information

    Your CS5 is too old and cannot be updated to support the Alpha 6000 which requires Camera Raw 8.4 or newer. 
    You can either upgrade to PS-CS6 or PS-CC or the free option is to convert your ARW raw files to DNGs with the DNG Converter 8.4 or newer, and those DNGs can be opened in the older ACR plug-in with CS5.

  • I think LR 5.7 broke the Sony A6000 raw conversion

    i installed LR 5.7 yesterday and today i was out shooting with my Sony A6000.
    back at home i noticed that the sky looked very ugly (like jpg compression, strange blocky artifacts).
    i was shooting with ISO 100 and did not see this before.
    so i opened older files from my A6000 and i see the same strange artifacts i did not notice before with LR 5.6.

    I’m sure you can make the Camera Standard one as ugly as the Adobe Standard one is you crank up the Clarity on the Camera Standard one.
    nope tried that.
    camera standard looks still much better.
    but i found what causes it.
    i use the BLUE and AQUAMARIN luminance sliders to darken the sky a bit.
    when i let them at 0, both adobe standard and camera standard look nearly identical from the noise pattern.
    like i would expect.
    but when i darken the sky with both luminance sliders and i then switch between "camera standard" and "adobe standard" the later gets worse.
    i just never noticed this before because with LR 5.6 and before i set the default profile to "camera standard".
    and you won´t notice any differnece as long as you don´t use the luminance sliders to darken the sky.
    i just checked with my nikon cameras and they behave the same.

  • Sony A6000 (ILCE-6000) - When will this camera support my RAW files ?

    Ant idea when my new Sony A6000 (ILCE-6000) is supported ? (RAW files).
    Now i just get the "Unsupported Image Format" message, when I try importing files...
    Best regards,
    Tom from Norway

    Same issue here. I have to pull exposure all the way to -2 and get color clipping.
    Have you tried to adjust the Raw Fine Tuning settings in the Adjustment panel? Lower the "Boost" slider settings?

  • Does Lightroom 4.4 support Sony a6000 RAW files

    Hello Group,
    I have tried and tried to get my version of Lightroom 4.4 to read my RAW files from my new Sony a6000.  I have updated my adobe programs and still have had no luck.  Do I need a newer version of Lightroom?  I am not sure if there is something I am doing wrong.  I do not have any plug-in that I can see.   I can see the files when I downloaded the files to my MAC but I would like to open in Lightroom.   Please help!
    Thank you

    You need version 5.4 minimum, current version of LR is 5.7.1. Alternatively you could convert (outside LR) the RAW files to DNG files using the Adobe DNG converter and import them into LR.

  • Sony A6000 DRO: is it possible to view Dynamic Range Optimization EXIF data in Lightroom?

    The Sony A6000 has a feature called Dynamic Range Optimization.  You can set this to DRO Auto or set manual DRO levels (1-2-3-4-5).  This setting is recorded in the Metadata (EXIF) by the camera.  The Sony IDC software can see it - but LR5 does not. (LR supports the A6000.)  I assume Sony does something non-standard here, but it there any possibility of LR showing this EXIF data?  It is very handy for sorting through the photos (especially when you use DRO bracketing where the camera creates three JPGs with different DRO settings - either 1-2-3 or 1-3-5).

    Hi Quinn.
    I'm not sure if this will help, but here's a snapshot of the table I'd like to use as source for a pop-up. It's part of a Sheet called "Rolling Rota", and whilst you can see each cell is presently a pop-up, it needn't be. I'd be happy to use this range of cells to set the staff names which then feed a range of pop-ups (in defined cells) when I run a script.
    Once again, any help would be appreciated.

  • Sony a6000 XAVC-S firmware update

    really, the a5100 wich is her little sister, has it, and a6000 no? i just ordered an a6000 on amazon 2 days ago, then i read about 5100 wich seems better for this and touch screen? do i really need to send it back to amazon? i really like it... please, update firmware with XAVC-S support, on some video based reviews, reviewers blame the avhcd codec... and i'm sure there's no hardware problem... same sensor, same cpu, same hardware etc.  

    I've just registered specifically to back this call for a firmware update for the a6000. I understand that sometimes camera models have minor differences, but where the choice appears to be "have an evf" or "have a better codec" then that makes little sense. If early results are anything to go by, the video quality of the a5100 is stunning meaning that the sensor technology of the a6000 is clearly being held back by its AVCHD codec. I hope very much that Sony will consider implementing an update so that the a6000 can output 50Mb XAVC-S video. I bought my a6000 3 days before the a5100 was announced so clearly I'm delighted on one hand, but rather irritated on the other. I don't think that a7s sales will be affected by making this change as that camera represents a great upgrade path for both a6000 and a5100 users, IF they decide to stick with Sony.
