Information
Setup menu
The setup menu of the NEX-6 is long and wide, and divided
into several sub-categories. Once again, there are a few insane
interdependencies in which the settings you are able to access at any time -
for instance you are only able to set up your priorities for the maximum focus
if the camera is in the MF mode or DMF mode, which is installed in the camera
menu.
