Soon, i'll purchase full spectrum converted sony a5000 for night and IR photo. I really like to also use BetterManual application, it's simply the best. Does this app should work on a5000 and bulb mode ? Thanks for any information, Best, Matej

obs1dium commented 5 years ago

I'm guessing it should work in principle, but I can't test it. Just give it a try and report back.

schmety commented 5 years ago

Great, i will test it and we'll see, thanks

schmety commented 5 years ago

I can confirm that BetterManaul app work at Sony a5000 model. Best

schmety commented 5 years ago

Should in principle Better Manual application also work with sony a6000 , like so far at a5000 and a5100, which i have tested so far ?

obs1dium commented 5 years ago

The app should work on the a6000 as well.

schmety commented 5 years ago

Cool, will test it out next week.

schmety commented 5 years ago

I have tested Sony a6000 with Better Manual application. Everything works well, just i guess there's no option to use the zoom lever to activate focus magnification and zoom in or out, like on Sony a5100 or a5000 with zoom toggle button.

obs1dium commented 5 years ago

Yeah, I hardly ever use it for manual shooting on the a6000 since that camera has a custom button I can use for focus magnification and also lacks the touch screen.

Thanks for your answer. Sony a5000 also doesn't have touch screen, but it's ok, since i use that camera for night shooting. So, i cannot use zoom toggle option at a6000 or any other workarround ? Maybe external option ? Would be really nice to use Better Manual at a6000, with zoom magnifier option :-)

Sorry, i didn't understand you right. Is it possible to use focus magnification in Better Manual with a6000 or no ? I try to use custom buttons option for focus magnification, but didn't work in Better Manual.

schmety commented 5 years ago

It's ok, i found also version for a6000 model, so there's focus magnification working ! I have now Better Manual on all my cameras installed and it's the best application for far !
