Sony A6700 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

The Multi-Tool for the Multi-Hyphenate

A compact synthesis of Sony's Cinema Line innovationsα-series still-image rendering qualityand advancements in AI-based recognition technologythe a6700 Mirrorless Camera puts powerful and versatile imaging capabilities into the hands of ambitious content creators. Powered-up by its combo of the latest 26.0MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processorthe camera nevertheless weighs less than its predecessorresulting in a mobile workhorse capable of an unstrained 11 fps continuous stills capture or stress-free UHD 4K video oversampled from a 6K resolutionmaking it a formidable multi-tool for the multi-hyphenate 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 processora combination introduced in the FX30 Digital Cinema Camera that is capable of 10-bit UHD 4K imagery at up to 120 fps or a top continuous shooting rate of 11 fps with AF and AE and up to 59 compressed raw still images in bursts. The introduction of the back-illuminated structure to the camera's sensor gives it a higher resolution without sacrificing sensitivity. With an ISO range of 100-32000 that's expandable to ISO50-102400 when shooting stillsthe camera boasts low-light performance with minimal noise and more than 14 stops of dynamic range.

Cinematic Video in UHD 4K

Along with its powerful sensor and processorthe Sony a6700 brings a strong suite of professional video features from its Cinema Line series to everyday content creators and aspiring filmmakers.

• Full pixel readout from the 6K sensor creates high-quality UHD 4K videowith approximately 2.4x the data required for 4K videominimizing moiré and aliasing.
• UHD 4K recording is possible with frame rates up to 120p and full HD recording up to 240pusing full 1:1 pixel readout without binning.
• Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using advanced XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats for consistent performance and quality at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.
• Record for more than two hours in 4K 30por more than 40 minutes at 4K 60p on a 128GB card.
• Slow & Quick (S&Q) mode allows shooters to capture 4K video at specified steps between 1-120 fps and Full HD between 1-240 fpsdepending on the format. These settings will allow you to slow down action as well as speed up a slow-moving scene.
• S-Cinetone can be used to deliver distinct colors and healthy-looking skin tone rendering that is based on technology from the professional Cinema Line camerassuch as the VENICE. This color profile offers natural mid-tonessoft colorsand especially well-controlled highlights.
• The S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine Gamma Curves allow for more than 14 stops of dynamic range and for increased post-production flexibilityincluding matching video from other Sony Cinema Line cameras.
• Creative Looks can be baked into the recorded footage to create a specific mood during recording and minimize the need for editing.
• User-created LUTs and presets can be set for accurately monitoring footage or previewing a specific look during shooting and can be applied to the camera's monitorEVFor HDMI output.
• The camera supports instant time-lapse settings with frameraterecordinglightand interval customization.

AI-Powered Autofocus and Image Stabilization

The Sony a6700's AI Processing Unit brings a host of enhanced capabilities to the camera's autofocus and image stabilization systemsensuring smooth handling and clarity no matter the shooting conditions. The camera's 759 phase detection points in stills mode and 495 points in video modecovering 93% of the image areaare enhanced with AI-powered subject recognition performance and real-time tracking. Other autofocus features include focus bracketing in up to 299 images with sequentially-shifted focus pointsfocus accuracy in low light down to EV -3.0focus breathing compensationautofocus assistfocus mappingand focus peaking during autofocus.

Vlog-Friendly AI-Enhanced Framing

Additionallythe AI Processing Unit recognizes and tracks subjects when recording videoseamlessly auto-cropping to maintain the subject in a prominent position in the frame and lending ease to otherwise difficult camerawork. This tracking can be custom located within the frame and adjusted for speed and sensitivityall at the touch of a finger.

Image Stabilization

The camera's pixel-level 5-axis optical image stabilization systemwhich compensates for five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills and videois algorithmically optimized for precision detection and control down to a single pixel. The AI Processing Unit also improves communication between the body and the lensproviding more stable framing before shooting. This allows users to confidently use any lenseven adapted lensesfor critical imaging without encountering blur from camera shake.

Advanced Rendering

For stills-shootersthe a6700 offers a wide range of color renderings and compressions for optimal image quality and storage managementled by the introduction of the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) formatavailable here in 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 options. Users also have the choice between Compressed and Lossless Compressed options when shooting raw. The AI Processing Unit also helps to achieve better exposure results in Auto modeachieving a 20% increase in reliability over the a6600 according to manufacturer testingwith applicable algorithmic adjustments made for skin tonebacklit situationsand white balance. The same Creative Looks presets available in video are also available when shooting stillsallowing additionally for user-defined configurations with eight adjustable parameters. For optimal viewing of stills when tethered to select monitors and televisionsthe a6700 now offers a stills-designed Hybrid Log-Gamma mode that delivers accurate dynamic range in 10-bit HEIF format.

Body Design and Connectivity

• The introduction of a front command dial puts an added level of control and speed at the tip of your forefinger and ensures that you won't be all thumbs at the moment of peak 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.
