Offering enhanced subject recognition, the latest technology for capturing stills and movies, and E-mount lens compatibility, the lightweight a6700 is designed for creative adventures, anytime, anywhere.

AI processing unit

The α6700's AF system delivers dramatically enhanced overall performance, drawing on major improvements in subject recognition performance. Deep learning technology supports powerful Real-time Recognition AF and more reliable Real-time Tracking1 of a wider variety of subjects.

A new level of image quality

The advanced Exmor R CMOS image sensor with 26.02 effective megapixels is packed with Sony's image sensor technologies, offering extraordinary sensitivity, resolution and dynamic range. This combines with the new powerful BIONZ XR image processing engine to deliver natural gradations and realistic colors. The camera allows for sensitivity settings from ISO 100 to ISO 320003 for both stills and movies, providing even more flexibility for shooting in a wide variety of settings, including indoors and low light.

Optical five-axis image stabilization

Shoot hand-held or in low light with confidence. The five-axis in-body optical image stabilization system detects and compensates for various types of camera shake. The latest precision gyro sensors provide image stabilization that's equivalent to a 5-step increase in shutter speed4-ideal for slow shutter photography, such as when shooting indoors or night scenes. An updated algorithm detects pixel-level camera shake, resulting in more effective stabilization than previous models.  [1] Yaw  [2] Roll  [3] Pitch.

Selectable RAW image sizes and quality

In addition to compressed RAW capture, the α6700 supports lossless compressed RAW capture, achieving high-speed compression without image degradation that allows a greater number of high-quality images to be captured in continuous bursts. A new Light image quality option that generates less data is provided for JPEG and HEIF images.5.

Creative Look

Creative Look offers greater creative flexibility with added simplicity. It provides 10 presets that can be used just as they are or adjusted to suit the subject or scene, whether you're shooting stills, movies or live-streaming. You can easily set the mood ahead of shooting so your images are ready to share immediately.

10-bit HEIF still image format for smooth gradations5

For the first time in an APS-C camera, the α6700 includes the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format with smooth 10-bit gradations for more realistic reproduction of skies and portrait skin tones without banding. The HEIF format also uses advanced compression technology to maintain image quality while significantly reducing file size and saving storage space.

Real-time Recognition AF for humans

The α6700 uses subject form data to recognize movement, achieving greatly improved human eye recognition. It also employs learned human forms and postures to precisely recognize body and head positions, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera, or with their face obscured by sunglasses or a helmet.

Real-time Recognition AF for wider range of subjects

In addition to humans and animals, the α6700 now recognizes birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes6, providing even greater flexibility and reliability when shooting both stills and movies. Heads and bodies are recognized in addition to eyes (Real-time Eye AF) for the Human and Animal settings, and now for the Bird setting too, with animal recognition performance more than 407 higher compared to the α6600.

Faster, more precise AF system

The immense processing power and updated algorithms of the new BIONZ XR engine achieve notably improved AF performance, with up to 759 phase detection points,8 covering approximately 93 of the image area when shooting stills. Deep learning technology supports powerful Real-time Recognition AF as well as more reliable Real-time Tracking, in turn supported by higher Fast Hybrid AF performance over a wider area.

Shoot more than 1000 images at high speed9

The α6700's powerful BIONZ XR processing engine combines with a large buffer memory to boost write speeds to memory cards, so that the camera can shoot more than 1,000 JPEG images, up to 59 compressed RAW images, or up to 23 lossless compressed RAW images in continuous high-speed bursts. The camera can also shoot silently and continuously10 with the camera's noiseless, vibration-free electronic shutter at speeds up to 11fps11 with full resolution and AF/AE tracking.

Accurate AF in low EV –3.0 light

The latest AF algorithms achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV –3.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens). The Focus Priority mode also provides more reliable AF in low light or when using smaller apertures.

Full-time DMF12

When shooting stills with AF-C or AF-S autofocus, the lens's focus ring can be rotated to instantly switch to manual focus mode at any time. This makes it easy to switch focus to a different subject on the fly.

Focus bracketing to capture the best shot13

The α6700 can automatically shoot up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points according to custom intervals and a sequence specified by you. Pick the perfect shot, or post-process multiple shots to achieve creative composites with incredible depth of focus.

Outstanding 4K movie recording

The α6700 captures 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) at up to 60p (50p) using Sony's proprietary 6K oversampling technology. By compressing this expanded detail into the output, it achieves 4K video quality with outstanding definition, even at higher frame rates. The camera also supports high-quality XAVC S-I (All-Intra) and XAVC HS formats with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling14.

Expressive S-Cinetone

Incorporating the same color science as the highly regarded CineAlta and Cinema Line, the α6700 includes Sony's S-Cinetone picture profile as a preset, delivering images with more faithful color reproduction and natural skin tones.

S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops15 of latitude

S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops15 of latitude (45)The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasizes gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-gray (18 gray), achieving up to 14+ stops15 of latitude for creative color grading possibilities.

Import and use custom LUT files

See how your footage will look in post-processing while you're shooting S-Log. The α6700 allows you to import a user LUT (Look Up Table) in the .cube format that can be applied to the camera's monitor image to preview what the images will look like when the LUT is applied in post-production.

High frame rate 4K 120p recording16

High frame rate recording at up to 120p for 4K QFHD (3840 x 2160) output makes it possible to capture high-resolution movies in-camera. This expands creative possibilities in post-production by allowing subject motion to be emphasized or transformed into smooth slow motion. S&Q mode17 also enables recording of slow or quick motion sequences in camera from the outset.

Active Mode for enhanced movie image stabilization18

Active Mode31 provides powerful image stabilization for handheld movie shooting. The α6700 can accurately detect camera shake which is then precisely compensated for optically, providing highly effective stabilization without sacrificing mobility, even when shooting 4K19.

AI-based Auto Framing for movies20

Through AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops the frame to keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies. Even if the camera is mounted on an unmanned tripod, framing is continually adjusted so that recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by an experienced camera operator.

In-camera time-lapse creation21

The in-camera time-lapse function allows you to create time-lapse videos within the camera itself. The exposure interval22 can be set from 1 second to 60 seconds, making it easy to compress slow action into enjoyable time-lapse sequences. When a compatible video light (sold separately) is attached to the camera, it can be set to turn on just before each exposure so that time-lapse sequences can be shot in low-light settings.

Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view23

When shooting movies with compatible lenses, breathing compensation uses Clear Image Zoom technology to maintain a consistent angle of view, suppressing changes that may occur due to shifts in focus position. Breathing metadata can also be used in post-production24.

Focus tools for shooting video

Movie making is made simpler with the Focus Map25 function that allows you to visualize depth of field when recording video. Focus information is overlaid on the live view display in real time so that you can easily identify the in-focus and out-of-focus areas-particularly useful when shooting with a large-aperture to create a narrow depth of field. The camera also offers peaking display, making it possible to check auto and manual focus while recording.

High-performance electronic viewfinder

A 2.36 million-dot (approx.) XGA OLED electronic viewfinder with approximately 1.07x magnification26 renders your world in exceptional detail. With twice the brightness of the α6600, and a wider 33-degree viewing angle, it offers clear, easy viewing while shooting. The finder frame rate can be set to 120fps-twice the standard rate-for a smooth viewfinder image, with minimum display motion blur when tracking and shooting moving subjects.

View from every angle

Whether you're shooting handheld or with gimbal, the α6700's large 3.0-type 1.03 million-dot (approx.) touch-panel LCD monitor provides broad positioning and framing freedom so you can capture the shots you need. It also provides a huge advantage for very low ground-level shots, or other narrow shooting environments, giving you plenty of creative options for handheld and gimbal-mounted shooting of stills and movies.

Intuitive touch control

Just touch the screen to easily activate key functions, such as selecting a focus point or subject to track, or triggering the shutter. Swiping in from the left or right edge of the shooting display reveals touch icons that allow quick changes to the shooting mode and other settings. The function (Fn) menu can also be displayed by a simple swipe-up. During playback, you can easily select and zoom into images through taps and intuitive pinch-out/pinch-in gestures.

Easy and stable smartphone connectivity

Make the most of the α6700's greatly enhanced connection stability with Sony's free Creators' App27 that enables simple transfers of photos and movies to your smartphone or tablet. Transfers continue in the background even if the smartphone display sleeps or a different app is launched.28 You can also use your smartphone to control the camera remotely. Plus, improved high-performance wireless connectivity makes backing-up, sharing and working with remote teams even smoother.

Stream high-quality live content

Connect the α6700 to a personal computer or smartphone29 via USB to turn it into a 4K (2160p) webcam with advanced AF functions that make online meetings and live-streaming events even smoother.

Durable hardware

The α6700 is built for tough working environments while maintaining its compact size thanks to its durable yet lightweight magnesium alloy chassis. It is also equipped with a reliable low-vibration shutter, tested to perform beyond 200,000 shutter cycles30.

USB PD (Power Delivery) supports fast charging

USB PD (Power Delivery) is supported for fast in-camera battery charging28, supplying 3 to 4 times more power than previous models. A USB charger or mobile battery that supports USB PD29 can be connected to the camera's USB Type-C® port so you can undertake extended shoots with ample power supply.

Real-time Recognition AF for humans

The α6700 uses subject form data to recognize movement, achieving greatly improved human eye recognition. It also employs learned human forms and postures to precisely recognize body and head positions, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera, or with their face obscured by sunglasses or a helmet.

Real-time Recognition AF for wider range of subjects

In addition to humans and animals, the α6700 now recognizes birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes6, providing even greater flexibility and reliability when shooting both stills and movies. Heads and bodies are recognized in addition to eyes (Real-time Eye AF) for the Human and Animal settings, and now for the Bird setting too, with animal recognition performance more than 407 higher compared to the α6600.

Faster, more precise AF system

The immense processing power and updated algorithms of the new BIONZ XR engine achieve notably improved AF performance, with up to 759 phase detection points,8 covering approximately 93 of the image area when shooting stills. Deep learning technology supports powerful Real-time Recognition AF as well as more reliable Real-time Tracking, in turn supported by higher Fast Hybrid AF performance over a wider area.

Shoot more than 1000 images at high speed9

The α6700's powerful BIONZ XR processing engine combines with a large buffer memory to boost write speeds to memory cards, so that the camera can shoot more than 1,000 JPEG images, up to 59 compressed RAW images, or up to 23 lossless compressed RAW images in continuous high-speed bursts. The camera can also shoot silently and continuously10 with the camera's noiseless, vibration-free electronic shutter at speeds up to 11fps11 with full resolution and AF/AE tracking.

Accurate AF in low EV –3.0 light

The latest AF algorithms achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV –3.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens). The Focus Priority mode also provides more reliable AF in low light or when using smaller apertures.

Full-time DMF12

When shooting stills with AF-C or AF-S autofocus, the lens's focus ring can be rotated to instantly switch to manual focus mode at any time. This makes it easy to switch focus to a different subject on the fly.

Focus bracketing to capture the best shot13

The α6700 can automatically shoot up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points according to custom intervals and a sequence specified by you. Pick the perfect shot, or post-process multiple shots to achieve creative composites with incredible depth of focus.

Outstanding 4K movie recording

The α6700 captures 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) at up to 60p (50p) using Sony's proprietary 6K oversampling technology. By compressing this expanded detail into the output, it achieves 4K video quality with outstanding definition, even at higher frame rates. The camera also supports high-quality XAVC S-I (All-Intra) and XAVC HS formats with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling14.

Expressive S-Cinetone

Incorporating the same color science as the highly regarded CineAlta and Cinema Line, the α6700 includes Sony's S-Cinetone picture profile as a preset, delivering images with more faithful color reproduction and natural skin tones.

Import and use custom LUT files

See how your footage will look in post-processing while you're shooting S-Log. The α6700 allows you to import a user LUT (Look Up Table) in the .cube format that can be applied to the camera's monitor image to preview what the images will look like when the LUT is applied in post-production.

High frame rate 4K 120p recording16

High frame rate recording at up to 120p for 4K QFHD (3840 x 2160) output makes it possible to capture high-resolution movies in-camera. This expands creative possibilities in post-production by allowing subject motion to be emphasized or transformed into smooth slow motion. S&Q mode17 also enables recording of slow or quick motion sequences in camera from the outset.

Active Mode for enhanced movie image stabilization18

Active Mode31 provides powerful image stabilization for handheld movie shooting. The α6700 can accurately detect camera shake which is then precisely compensated for optically, providing highly effective stabilization without sacrificing mobility, even when shooting 4K19.

AI-based Auto Framing for movies20

Through AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops the frame to keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies. Even if the camera is mounted on an unmanned tripod, framing is continually adjusted so that recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by an experienced camera operator.

In-camera time-lapse creation21

The in-camera time-lapse function allows you to create time-lapse videos within the camera itself. The exposure interval22 can be set from 1 second to 60 seconds, making it easy to compress slow action into enjoyable time-lapse sequences. When a compatible video light (sold separately) is attached to the camera, it can be set to turn on just before each exposure so that time-lapse sequences can be shot in low-light settings.

Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view23

When shooting movies with compatible lenses, breathing compensation uses Clear Image Zoom technology to maintain a consistent angle of view, suppressing changes that may occur due to shifts in focus position. Breathing metadata can also be used in post-production24.

Focus tools for shooting video

Movie making is made simpler with the Focus Map25 function that allows you to visualize depth of field when recording video. Focus information is overlaid on the live view display in real time so that you can easily identify the in-focus and out-of-focus areas-particularly useful when shooting with a large-aperture to create a narrow depth of field. The camera also offers peaking display, making it possible to check auto and manual focus while recording.

High-performance electronic viewfinder

A 2.36 million-dot (approx.) XGA OLED electronic viewfinder with approximately 1.07x magnification26 renders your world in exceptional detail. With twice the brightness of the α6600, and a wider 33-degree viewing angle, it offers clear, easy viewing while shooting. The finder frame rate can be set to 120fps-twice the standard rate-for a smooth viewfinder image, with minimum display motion blur when tracking and shooting moving subjects.

View from every angle

Whether you're shooting handheld or with gimbal, the α6700's large 3.0-type 1.03 million-dot (approx.) touch-panel LCD monitor provides broad positioning and framing freedom so you can capture the shots you need. It also provides a huge advantage for very low ground-level shots, or other narrow shooting environments, giving you plenty of creative options for handheld and gimbal-mounted shooting of stills and movies.

Intuitive touch control

Just touch the screen to easily activate key functions, such as selecting a focus point or subject to track, or triggering the shutter. Swiping in from the left or right edge of the shooting display reveals touch icons that allow quick changes to the shooting mode and other settings. The function (Fn) menu can also be displayed by a simple swipe-up. During playback, you can easily select and zoom into images through taps and intuitive pinch-out/pinch-in gestures.

Easy and stable smartphone connectivity

Make the most of the α6700's greatly enhanced connection stability with Sony's free Creators' App27 that enables simple transfers of photos and movies to your smartphone or tablet. Transfers continue in the background even if the smartphone display sleeps or a different app is launched.28 You can also use your smartphone to control the camera remotely. Plus, improved high-performance wireless connectivity makes backing-up, sharing and working with remote teams even smoother.

Stream high-quality live content

Connect the α6700 to a personal computer or smartphone29 via USB to turn it into a 4K (2160p) webcam with advanced AF functions that make online meetings and live-streaming events even smoother.

Durable hardware

The α6700 is built for tough working environments while maintaining its compact size thanks to its durable yet lightweight magnesium alloy chassis. It is also equipped with a reliable low-vibration shutter, tested to perform beyond 200,000 shutter cycles30.

USB PD (Power Delivery) supports fast charging

USB PD (Power Delivery) is supported for fast in-camera battery charging28, supplying 3 to 4 times more power than previous models. A USB charger or mobile battery that supports USB PD29 can be connected to the camera's USB Type-C® port so you can undertake extended shoots with ample power supply.
