SONY A6400 W/16-50MM

Unparalleled AF performance is the key to beautiful shots

Fast and accurate autofocus lets you capture fleeting moments in stunning detail, thanks to a combination of innovative technologies. A total of 425 phase-detection AF points work in conjunction with contrast-detection AF to achieve a remarkable 0.02 sec speed, while High-density AF Tracking Technology follows even erratically moving subjects.

More accurate autofocus in dim lighting

Highly accurate autofocus is now possible even in dark settings, thanks to advances in the AF algorithm. With this model, the lower limit on the AF detection brightness range has been reduced to EV-2 when in AF-S mode.

AF in Focus Magnifier for finer focus adjustment

When extra-accurate autofocus is called for, such as when you're taking macro shots, you can display a magnified view of the general area you want to focus on, then finely adjust the exact point of focus in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.

Enhanced Real-time Eye AF supports portrait shooting

Real-time Eye AF detects and autofocuses on the eyes of your subjects when you half-press the shutter. Either the left eye, the right eye, or auto can be specified, and when AF-C is set, it maintains a stable focus even when part of the face is hidden, the face is backlit or the subject is facing downwards.

Easier manual focus with an improved peaking function

The camera's peaking function color-highlights the most sharply focused section of the entire image area when you're using manual focus. Blue has now been added to the display's other peaking colors (red, yellow and white) to improve the visibility of the focus peak areas when you're doing the delicate focusing required for macro or portrait shooting.

Real-time Tracking holds the focus on tracked subjects

When you're tracking a fast-moving subject, the camera's improved automatic subject motion tracker uses a newly developed subject recognition algorithm that draws on color, pattern (brightness), subject distance (depth) and face/eye information to recognize, and hold onto, your subject.

Extraordinary image quality, low noise and a wider ISO range

Maximum standard ISO sensitivity has been increased to ISO 32000 (expanded to ISO 102400 for stills), while improved imaging algorithms, detail reproduction technology and area-division noise reduction result in more realistic textures, better detail in shadow regions, and more lifelike colors, including human skin tones and natural plant colors.    

An innovative image-processing system

The camera's APS-C size, 24.2-megapixelExmorTMCMOS sensor provides a wide sensitivity range and excellent low-noise performance. In conjunction with the new-generation BIONZ XTMimage processing engine, it delivers beautiful, high-resolution images with superb image clarity and texture reproduction.

High speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking

Capture all the action with continuous shooting at up to 11fps (with after view), or 8fps (with silent shutter) and 8fps (for live view). Display lag has been minimized, and up to 116 JPEG (Standard) images can be shot, with group display available. Camera operability and access to various features while writing data have also been greatly improved.

4K movie recording in high-bit-rate XAVC S format

Super 35 mm format, 4K movie recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning allows oversampling with approx. 2.4x as much information as is required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160), adding up to the equivalent of 6K and giving these images more realistic depth. High-bit-rate (max. 100 Mbps) XAVC S format, a consumer-friendly version of a format for professional use, plus HLG support result in better-looking movies.

14-bit RAW output with rich tonal gradation

When you're shooting in RAW format, the 14-bit digital signals that are converted from analog in the image sensor are passed to the front-end LSI and BIONZ X, where they undergo 16-bit processing before converting back to 14-bit RAW image output. This leads to smoother, more natural tonal gradation in these images.  [1] Image Sensor  [2] The latest high-speed front-end LSI  [3] 16-bit Image processing

Newly added 1:1 aspect ratio for easier social-media shots

In addition to 3:2 and 16:9 aspect (width-to-height) ratios, the 1:1 aspect ratio used by social media platforms is now offered as an option. This eliminates the need for cumbersome hand-trimming of images after shooting in preparation for posting on social media.

Slow and Quick motion, and high-speed 120fps recording

Slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x) can be recorded in camera in high-quality Full HD, and no PC-based post-processing is required to view your slow-motion and quick-motion footage. Additionally, high bit-rate recordings of up to 100 Mbps in Full HD can be used to create high-image-quality slow-motion movies in post-production. 

Steady, precise AF tracking for better movies

Fast Hybrid AF brings high speed, accuracy and tracking performance to meet the stringent autofocus demands of 4K movies. AF tracking sensitivity can be adjusted for either stable focus or responsive refocusing, depending on the nature of the scene, and Touch Tracking lets you initiate tracking of a moving subject simply by touching the LCD screen.

Interval shooting for the creation of time-lapse movies

Continuous shooting with a set interval between 1 and 60 seconds is now available within the camera, and the resulting still images can be edited into a time-lapse movie on a PC using the Viewer application from the Imaging EdgeTMdesktop applications. A simple variable-speed preview function allows you to see an image on the camera of how the finished movie will look.

Support for professional-quality mic and audio input

External microphones can be attached via the microphone jack, and there is also an option for line input via XLR connectors using the camera's separately available XLR adaptor kit, which enables connection with various high-end microphones for professional-level audio.

Sophisticated features for easier movie-making

The α6400 facilitates the workflow of professional videographers with a wide range of functions, including clean HDMI output, time code / user bits (TC/UB), rec. control, marker display/setting, zebra function, Slow & Quick Motion, simultaneous proxy movie recording, extraction and separate storage of a still from a movie, Gamma Display Assist function, and in-monitor display of current ISO value when shooting with ISO Auto, among others.

Custom functions for greater operability

The camera's eight keys and controls can be custom-assigned to any of 89 shooting and replay functions, and frequently used functions can also be assigned to the control dial and control wheel with My Dial. My Menu allows flexible assignment of 30 menu items, and the custom settings screen helps keep track of everything. Help displays are available on the menu screen via a single button.

Smooth display on the OLED viewfinder

The high-contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-FinderTM provides high visibility, fine details even in dark areas, accurate colors and smooth displays at either 60fps or 120fps, with the framerate selectable for smoother viewing. Standard and high-quality settings are available for both the viewfinder and the LCD monitor. 

180 °-tiltable LCD screen with versatile touch functions

The high-resolution 921k-dot LCD has a 3.0-type screen and tilts up a full 180 ° for easy framing of self-portraits and vlogs. The LCD's intuitive touch operations include Touch Pad (smoothly move the focus point), Touch Focus (set the focus point), Touch Shutter (release the shutter), and Touch Tracking (activate Real-Time AF).

One-touch remote, One-touch sharing, Location Information Link

The One-touch remote feature turns your mobile device into a viewfinder and remote control, while One-touch sharing allows photos and videos to be transferred to your device for social media sharing. The camera can also acquire location data via Bluetooth®. (These mobile device features are available via Sony's Imaging Edge Mobile app.)

Advances in remote camera control

When doing remote shooting using the Remote app from the Imaging Edge desktop applications, you can now use the overlay display to make precise adjustments to focus and composition while checking the live view on your PC screen.

Sturdy, durable construction for robust operation

The camera's low-vibration shutter mechanism is designed and tested to withstand around 200,000 shutter cycles, and the body, top cover and front cover use a light but highly rigid magnesium alloy. Major buttons and dials are sealed, and casing components have an interlocked double-layer structure to resist dust and moisture.
