The Sony Alpha 6400 with the 16-50mm lens and the Tamron 70-300mm lens impresses with its top-notch image quality, new autofocus, 4K video, and up to eleven continuous frames per second.
With the Sony Alpha 6400, there are no more limits to your creative ideas. The Alpha 6400 impresses with its high performance and advanced features such as AI-based AF with real-time eye detection, high-precision real-time tracking, high-speed continuous shooting, and 4K HDR (HLG) video recording.
The Sony Alpha 6400 impresses with its premium image quality, new autofocus, 4K video, and up to eleven continuous shooting frames per second.
425 phase detection AF points
The high focus point density covers around 84% of the image area, making it easier to capture the subject
.Continuous AF/AE shooting at up to 11 frames per second
Fast internal processing and large buffer memory mean you won't miss a thing. Capture moments with minimal display lag at 11 frames per second in After View and 8 frames per second in Live View, and series with up to 116 JPEG (standard) or 46 compressed RAW shots.
Quiet continuous shooting at up to 8 frames per second
When shooting requires absolute silence, shooting at up to 8 frames per second without any noise is possible - with AF/AE tracking enabled, even in AF-C mode, real-time eye-detection AF, or real-time tracking. This opens up new creative possibilities for you.
Newly introduced AI-based scene detection technology processes a wealth of data, enabling it to detect and track even fast-moving subjects.
Precise eye detection
Optimized AF with real-time eye detection reliably detects human faces and focuses precisely on the eyes - without any special settings, simply by pressing the shutter button
.Continuous eye tracking
When AF-C is activated, AF with real-time eye detection reliably focuses on moving images - even when part of the face is obscured, backlit, or looking down
.Select the left or right eye of your subject
Select Left Eye, Right Eye, or Auto before shooting so you can focus on composition. Assign custom buttons to these options so you can quickly switch during the shot.
Reliable focusing with real-time tracking
Keeping subjects at sporting events and other moving images reliably in focus can determine whether you succeed in capturing an important, dramatic moment
.Focus with new subject detection algorithm
A newly developed subject detection algorithm processes spatial color, distance (depth), pattern (brightness), and face and eye information in real time and at high speed
.Eye tracking and seamless transitions
The tracking system captures the entire body of a person in motion from a greater distance. The focus area switches seamlessly between the face and eyes depending on subject conditions.
Easy tracking by touch
When touch tracking is configured in the menu, you can select the subject simply by touching the monitor. The camera then automatically tracks the subject during both photo and movie shooting.
Thanks to the large sensor and advanced image processor, you can capture any subject ultra-sharp in natural colors, even in challenging lighting conditions.
24.2-megapixel sensor and optimized image processor
The APS-C sensor features copper wires and optimized circuit processing that improve light capture. Combined with the image processor, you get high image resolution and natural rendering of textures.
Sharp images even in low light
Noise reduction enables sharper images even when shooting at high sensitivity in the dark. The ISO base sensitivity has been increased to ISO 32000 (with an extended ISO sensitivity up to ISO 102400 for photo shooting). This allows you to achieve good results in the frequently used medium to high sensitivity range.
Natural-looking, realistic images
Image processing algorithms like those used in full-frame cameras now enable more natural color reproduction. Skin tones and plant colors thus appear more natural.
Full pixel readout without pixel binning, high-resolution 4K video recording, HDR (HLG) and S-Log/S-Gamut, as well as slow-motion and time-lapse shooting: The α6400 offers a wide range of features that expand your creative options when filming.
Time-lapse movies
The camera includes a newly introduced interval shooting function, i.e. continuous shooting with a break between 1 and 60 seconds between photo shots. This can be used to create time-lapse movies on a PC using the Viewer App, which is part of the Imaging EdgeTM desktop applications.
Practical vlog functions
For vlog recordings, the 180-degree swiveling LC display is useful for cropping the image. For the audio track, in addition to the jack for an external microphone, an optional XLR adapter (sold separately) can also be used, allowing the use of professional microphones for higher audio quality.
The 180-degree tilting 3.0-inch LC display not only shows the subject in front of you, but also makes a range of camera functions accessible at the same time via intuitive touch functions.
Seamless focus area selection via touchpad
The touchpad function allows you to seamlessly move the focus while looking through the viewfinder. Simply drag your finger across the monitor to the point you want to focus.
Touch focus and touch shutter
Touch focus letsyou change the focus position simply by touching the monitor, even moving it to the edge of the frame. And with the touch shutter, you can focus and release with just one touch.
Real-time tracking activation via touch tracking
With touch tracking, you simply touch the monitor to activate real-time tracking for photo or video shooting. The camera then instantly focuses on the subject permanently.
Compact, lightweight lens with fluid, high-performance Zoom
The lens you can take anywhere -
Itsslim, compact design that retracts to 29.9mm makes it great for travel
.Effortless Zooming - It's the first e-lens with electric Zoom and offers smooth, quiet operation - optimal for video shooting
.Shoot without noise even in low light - The constant maximum aperture of F4 allows for fast shutter speeds without needlessly increasing ISO sensitivity
.Ready to go right out of the box - As soon as the camera is turned on, the lens extends and is ready to go
.Flexibility and control - In AF (autofocus) mode, the dual-function control ring controls the Zoom; in MF (manual focus) mode, it provides manual control
.Performance like a great lens - ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and four aspherical lens elements provide precise, distortion-free images
.Beautiful blur effects - Thanks to the circular aperture, you can achieve appealing blur effects in foreground and background
.Built-in image stabilization - Optical SteadyShot not only reduces camera shake during handheld shooting, but also improves performance in low light
.The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 is Tamron's first telephoto Zoom lens with a 300mm focal length for mirrorless system cameras with full-frame sensors
.During development, engineers aimed to make telephoto photography an effortless pleasure for everyone. The new tele-Zoom lens not only offers exceptionally high image quality, but with a length of 148 mm, a diameter of 77 mm and a weight of only 545 g, it is the world's most compact and lightest 70 -300mm-Zoom lens in its class.
The optical design guarantees high resolving power, and high-precision special lenses ensure correction of chromatic aberrations and other optical aber
rations.Regardless of the focal length selected, images are of remarkable brilliance and sharpness. The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 makes it easier than ever to zoom in on distant subjects.
The long focal length is not only suitable for sports, wildlife and nature photography, but also provides a flattering perspective in portrait and street photography. Combined with the advanced camera features of Sony, the fast RXD autofocus ensures sharp telephoto shots even in dynamic situations.
