Sony A6000 and A6300 Focus Magnifier

The Custom Function Button C1, does not seem to work on completly manual lenses.

Thank you!

thank you so much!!!

Stil relevant today

Worst feature ever

You can easily set a costume key for it , u don't need to go to settings to use it tho

Extremely helpful, thanks so much!

zoom magnification has 1x ? or only 5x ?

nice

Very useful tip - thanks

Just bought a Rokinon 12mm f2 and this is EXACTLY what I need to use this fully manual lens. Thanks!

I chose center button for mine.

This was excellent, thanks! Really answered my newbie questions!

Clear no nonsense tutorial; thank you!

Having this cam and it's taking very good photos ( I'm very poor in cam )

Many thanks, really clear and useful info, great job cheers!

This is just great!. We were shooting last night through a Celestron telescope and it was a pain to focus without knowing the focus magnifier option. We adjusted the focus by trial and error shots. Next time we will be prepared :) Thank you so much!

work on a6500?

Perfect video, thank you for posting, very helpful. I assigned AF/MF Toggle instead and to my delight, when I hit the buton to toggle MF ON, focus magnifier appears automatically and remains on according to your instructions. Perfect. Thank you. Subscribed and will look at your other A6000-related videos.

This works only with manual lenses, am I correct?

Thanks Rob

That helps ,specially because am using manual focus lenses

Thank you Robert for taking the time and trouble to make this tutorial.
You saved me hours of reading. Well done!

Thank you!!!! This gonna help me on my astro shots!! The c1 button for sure!!

Agreed. The fact that the focus magnifier is closed once you hit the shutter button is a huge disadvantage. Makes it almost useless for macro and makes me want to get rid of it.

that magnifier focus only work with focus lens ??

gracias me sirvio mucho MUCHAS GRACIAS

Very good points discussed here. Every Sony A6000 owner, must care to go though this and apply the same setting, if you ever use manual focus. Result is incredible. In fact this is the reason why I love my A6000 so much.

legit saved my life on the magnifier...looked for hours on how to do it on a rented a6300 omg. thank you!!!!!

Wow. I didn't know about Double magnification. Thanks.

Awesome tip! Thanks

Awesome tutorial! I kept having to go into the menu every time and didn't know I can set focus magnifier to a shortcut key!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

Hi, question please - can the magnification be used while recording video on the a6000?
Thank you.

Hi, is there a way to display the level meter when using focus magnifier?

what lens did you use?

Thank you,great information.

Thank you for this video!!!

Is this possible to do on the Sony a6500? I didnt not see that option in the custom button setting.

Your videos are great !!!

Thanks

What is the difference of DMF and MF? Since DMF also zooms in and focus it?

Just awesome. Thanks for the clear, concise tutorial.

I do like your videos but you should really take the a6300 off the title of this video as it is misleading. The a6300 can use focus magnifier in autofocus. The a6000 cannot. 
Came here trying to find the best way of using it in autofocus on the a6300. I find if I have auto ISO it really mixes up the exposure.

May I please ask if the focus peak magnification works in video mode as well? If yes, how to set it, I set everything on but its just not magnifying
cheers

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your great tutorial. I've had my a6000 for two years and knew about DMF/MF assist, but never about the focus magnifier. I decided to set c1 to manual focus, and the middle button in the ring on the back of the camera to focus magnifier. I love this so much more than MF assist - it would always distract me from the greater composition. This is so much better to tweak the magnification and still keep the "big picture" of the composition in mind.

This is how a tutorial should be. Exactly what i was looking for. Other tutorials were jumping guns and did not start with when these settings are possible and new comers like me could not even figure out how to enable them, forget using them.

Thank you so much! Just what I was looking for!

Thanks man!! This was so helpful!!

On the a6300 when I do this, the shutter half way isn't stopping the focus magnifier, would you know why?

Can Focus Magnifier be used when looking through the viewfinder or only available via the LCD
