I've had my Sony A6000 for 6 months and I think it's a fabulous camera. But the lack of instructional information from Sony is disappointing. Here are sources I've found which might be helpful:
Atrociously organized, but some more information you might find useful. The troubleshooting section and "situations this product has difficulty handling" is interesting and helpful.
Frank, I'll have a look at the David Busch. I feel ready to learn a bit more about my A6000 now and that could be really useful.
I had found the online Sony help guide but the atrocious organization is probably why I haven't bothered too much with it but I'll look at the sections you mention.
I don't have it myself, but I have read some recommendations for the book by Gary Friedman. Sounds like it is quite complete and certainly less in cost than the David Buschs. http://friedmanarchives.com/alpha6000/index.htm
Actually I just ordered one for myself.I've been meaning to do it for a while but your inquiry just gave me a final nudge...time to find out all the secrets and intricacies of the camera.
@gardencat@quietpurplehaze The David Busch book is now available. No idea of the UK price, but $US23.50 in the USA. Half the price of the Friedman black and white book, and color too. You can't go wrong with his camera guide books.
@frankhymus Thanks for the update on the Busch book. I've just picked up the Friedman book as a download since I'll read it on my i-pad. That way I get the colour included...the price of a printed colour copy of his book is way too high for me. I will keep the Busch one in mind in case I find this one unsatisfactory...with the download version I also get a short time to check it out and get a refund if I'm not happy.
Tweets ahoy!

Thanks, as always!
A word of caution to anybody looking for the David Busch: on Amazon UK it is being sold for nearly £1,000......

Many thanks - I saw this on Amazon UK so it's good to find more info about it - 599 pages - will keep me occupied for a while!
Thanks, going to keep an eye out for its release in UK, no sign so far.
