The Sony a6700 Mirrorless Camera features a powerful 26MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, offering 10-bit UHD 4K imagery at 120 fps and a maximum continuous shooting speed of 11 fps with AF and AE. It also has the ability to capture up to 59 compressed raw still images in quick bursts, a feature first introduced in the FX30 Digital Cinema Camera.

The camera's sensor now features a back-illuminated structure, resulting in enhanced resolution and sensitivity. Its ISO range of 100-32000 (expandable to ISO 50-102400 for stills) offers exceptional low-light capabilities and over 14 stops of dynamic range with minimal noise.

Cinematic Video in UHD 4K

Along with its powerful sensor and processor, the 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 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 S-I 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 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 fps, depending 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 cameras, such as the 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 for increased post-production flexibility, including 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 monitor, EVF, or HDMI output.
• The camera supports instant time-lapse settings with framerate, recording, light, and 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 systems, ensuring smooth handling and clarity no matter the shooting conditions. The camera's 759 phase detection points in stills 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 in up to 299 images with sequentially-shifted focus points, focus accuracy in low light down to EV -3.0, focus breathing compensation, autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peaking during autofocus.

Vlog-Friendly AI-Enhanced Framing

Additionally, the AI Processing Unit recognizes and tracks subjects when recording video, seamlessly 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 sensitivity, all at the touch of a finger.

Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens

Lightweight and Stabilized Versatility

Spanning a useful wide-angle to medium telephoto range, the E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS from Sony is a versatile 27-202.5mm equivalent zoom for APS-C-format E-mount mirrorless cameras. This well-rounded lens suits working in a variety of situations, making it an ideal zoom for travel applications, and the image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld.

Optical Design

• Two extra-low dispersion elements help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.
• One aspherical element helps to control distortion and reduce spherical aberrations for greater sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.

Image Stabilization and Autofocus

• Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can also be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
• Linear autofocus motor provides quick and precise autofocus performance and enables accurate and silent focusing while recording videos.
• Dedicated AF/MF switch allows for quick changing between focusing methods.
• Minimum focusing distance of 45cm, along with a maximum magnification of 0.29x, suits working with close-up subjects.
