Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Do your research on the Best Buy site and compare with other sites. Be a well informed consumer, not a lazy one. Always good to take the time to go in the store and see and feel just what you are looking to purchase. This Sony has a great built in pop up flash.

QuestionDoes the sony a6000 have a built in mic?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, there are 2 tiny microphones built into the front of the camera at the 1 and 11 o'clock positions above the lens (if you are looking at the front of the camera). If you plan to use the camera for a lot of video, I would get the wireless microphone accessory but the built in mic was adequate for my casual video use.

QuestionCan the battery be recharged? How to do it?
Asked 10 years ago by Marion.
- Answer I bought the Sony A6000 about 6 months ago and LOVE IT!!!!! Light, great, quick follow focus. Biggest complaint was how quickly battery wore down. Yes, it's rechargeable with the cord that links camera body to recharger, but I found I could only shoot sports (high school tennis match, soccer) an hour or two before battery was nearly dead. So I bought a second battery (nearly $50) and then found that Sony makes a separate recharger -- Bower - Battery Charger for Sony NP-FW50 - Black Model: CH-G107SKU: 4290770 -- for $20 -- and those are terrific!

QuestionImage shows second lensImages show second lens 55-210. None of the documentation or "What's included" lists the 55-210 and the price shown is what I would expect with both lenses. Otherwise if you are only getting the one lens you a buying a very expensive camera case. Because you are selling the camera with the 16-50 for $599
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Don't understand how this could possibly be a question... the description alone tells you there is a 2nd lense included, the product picture shows the 2nd lense. The website shows both the standard "kit" without the 22-210 and the lower price, and this "kit" with the 2nd lense and bag at the higher price. I purchased this kit and Yes it includes 2 lenses and the bag all in one box.

QuestionAfter a while of taking video why does the camera overheat.
Asked 9 years ago by Jojo.
- Answer Unfortunately, I don't believe Sony has owned up to this known problem. It's a great camera otherwise. Turning off the monitor or moving it away from the camera housing helps.
