SONY A6700 + 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS

A compact synthesis of Sony's Cinema Line innovations, α series still image rendering quality, and advancements in AI-based recognition technology, the a6700 Mirrorless Camera puts powerful and versatile imaging capabilities in the hands of ambitious content creators. Equipped with the combination of the latest 26.0MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, The camera, however, weighs less than its predecessor, capable of effortlessly capturing 11fps or stress-free continuous shots. Free 4K UHD video over-sampled at a 6K resolution, making it a formidable multi-tool for the multi-hyphenated creative.

26.0MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor
The Sony a6700's advanced imaging system is powered by the 26MP Aps-C Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, a combination introduced in the FX30 digital cinema camera that is capable of 10-bit UHD 4K images at up to 120fps or a maximum continuous shooting rate of 11fps with AF and AE and up to 59 raw still images compressed into bursts. The introduction of the structure Back-illuminated on the camera's sensor provides higher resolution without sacrificing sensitivity. With an ISO range of 100-32,000 that can be expanded to ISO50-102,400 when taking photos, the camera features low-light performance with minimal noise and more than 14 stops of dynamic range.

• The 6K sensor's full pixel readout creates high-quality 4K UHD video, with approximately 2.4x the data required for 4K video, minimizing moiré and aliasing.
• UHD 4K recording is possible with frame rates up to 120p and full HD recording up to 240p, using full 1:1 pixel readout without binning.
• Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using advanced XAVC HS and XAVC SI formats for consistent performance and quality at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.
• Record for more than two hours in 4K 30p or more than 40 minutes in 4K 60p on a 128GB card.
• Slow and Fast (S&Q) mode allows photographers to capture 4K video in specific steps between 1-120 fps and Full HD between 1-240 fps, depending on the format. These settings will allow you to slow down the action and also speed up a slow-moving scene.
• S-Cinetone can be used to deliver distinct colors and healthy-looking skin tone reproduction, based on the technology of professional Cinema Line cameras such as VENICE. This color profile offers natural mid-tones, soft colors, and especially well-controlled highlights.
• The S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine gamma curves allow for more than 14 stops of dynamic range and greater post-production flexibility, including video matching from other Sony Cinema Line cameras.
• Creative looks can be incorporated into the recorded footage to create a specific mood while recording and minimize the need for editing.
• User-created LUTs and presets can be set to accurately monitor images or preview a specific appearance while shooting, and can be applied to the camera monitor, EVF, or HDMI output.
• The camera supports instant time-lapse settings with frame rate, recording, light, and interval customization.

AI-powered autofocus and image stabilization
Sony's a6700 AI processing unit brings a host of enhanced features to the camera's autofocus and image stabilization systems, ensuring smooth handling and clarity regardless of shooting conditions. The camera's 759 phase-detection points in static mode and 495 points in video mode, covering 93% of the image area, are enhanced with AI-powered subject recognition performance and real-time tracking. Other autofocus features include focus bracketing on up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, low-light focus accuracy up to EV -3.0, focus breathing compensation, autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peaking during autofocus.

Vlog-Compatible AI-Enhanced Framing
In addition, the AI processing unit recognizes and tracks subjects during video recording, automatically cropping to keep the subject in a prominent position in the frame and facilitating camera work that would otherwise be difficult. This tracking can be custom-located within the frame and adjusted for speed and sensitivity, all with the touch of a finger.

Image stabilization
The camera's pixel-level 5-axis optical image stabilization system, which compensates for five different types of camera shake encountered during manual photo and video capture, is optimized by algorithms for precise detection and control of down to a single pixel. The AI Processing Unit also improves communication between the body and lens, providing a more stable framing before shooting. This allows users to use any lens with confidence, even adapted lenses, to achieve critical images, without blurring due to camera shake.

Advanced Rendering
For photographers, the a6700 offers a wide range of color renderings and compressions for optimal image quality and storage management, led by the introduction of the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format, available here in 4:2:0 and 4:2 options. Users can also choose between compressed and lossless compressed options when shooting raw. The AI processing unit also helps to achieve better exposure results in the Auto mode, achieving a 20% increase in reliability over the a6600, according to manufacturer testing, with applicable algorithmic adjustments made for skin tone, backlit situations, and white balance. The same Creative Looks presets available in video are also available when taking photos, allowing for additional user-defined settings with eight adjustable parameters.

Body Design and Connectivity

• The introduction of a front command dial puts an additional level of control and speed at the tip of your index finger and ensures that you won't be left with your thumbs alone at the peak of the action.
• Use the camera's USB output function with UVC/UAC control via a computer for streaming applications and broadcasts with 4K video at 15 or 30 fps or full HD at 30 or 60 fps.
• Built-in 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi enables communication in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to instantly share images with mobile devices for direct online sharing on social networks, via email, and on cloud storage sites.
• The camera can connect to the central Creators' Cloud cloud platform using the Creators app to share and store media, cloud editing, and collaboration tools. The phone can also be used as a camera remote control and to monitor battery charge and storage levels.
• The integrated 3.5 mm headphone and microphone ports provide greater control over audio during video recording. The Multi-Interface Shoe also functions as a digital audio interface.
• The 2.36m-dot XGA Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder offers bright, high-resolution 1.07x magnification means for eye-level monitoring and sports, and a dedicated 120fps mode for smoother viewing when tracking moving subjects.
• The 3.0" 1.03m side-opening vari-angle LCD touchscreen works at high, low and front angles.

• In addition to the battery, the a6700 can also be powered via a USB connection to a computer or mobile battery. This connection can also be used to charge the battery.
• The rugged magnesium alloy body offers a durable profile and incorporates dust and moisture seals for protection against harsh environments.
• A new grip design improves handling and stability for long shooting sessions and makes it easier to access the main control buttons and dials.

Form factor and optical design

• A variable aperture of f/3.5-5.6 helps keep the size and overall weight of the lens to a minimum.
• Due to a retractable design, this lens can be extremely compact when not in use.
• An extra-low dispersion glass element is featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color dispersion for greater clarity and color neutrality.
• Four aspherical elements are incorporated into the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.
• The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
