Strange that the A6000 isn’t in the list of supported cameras.
I’ll try it anyway and see!
How did it go?? I’ve been trying with no good results. My last chance is make a firmware update and try again.
I guess Sony needs to draw the line somewhere, and of course they like to try and push people to buy new cameras as well unfortunately!
the ILCE-5100 made the list.
isnt that an older model?
It is. The a5100 came out in 2014 along with the a6000, so it is strange that the a6000 has not been included for now.
