How to Change the Record Button on Sony Cameras (a6000, a6100, a6300, a6500, etc.)

Chances are, if you’re reading this, your Sony camera has an inconveniently placed record button (seriously, why Sony???). So, let’s cut to the chase on how to fix it:

  1. Hit the menu button
  2. Navigate to the 2nd “tab” (slightly different for some cameras
  3. Navigate to page 8 (again, may be slightly different)
  4. Open up custom key settings
  5. Select a “key” and then rebind it to “MOVIE”

You can choose any key, but I personally chose the “trash” button as I found it the most convenient. If you want to learn more about custom buttons in general, check out my full guide.
