Sony Alpha ILCE-6400 + SEL 30mm f3.5

Sony Alpha ILCE 6400

With the Sony Alpha 6400, there are no longer any limits to your creative imagination. The Alpha 6400 impresses with its high performance and modern functions such as AI-based AF with real-time eye detection, high-precision real-time tracking, high-speed continuous shooting function and 4K HDR (HLG) video recording.

The Sony Alpha 6400 impresses with its first-class image quality, a new autofocus, 4K video and up to eleven continuous shots per second.

425 phase detection autofocus points

The high focus point density covers around 84% of the image area, making it easier to capture the subject.

Continuous shooting with AF/AE at up to 11 frames per second

Thanks to the fast internal processing and large buffer memory, you won't miss a thing. Capture moments with minimal display delay at 11 frames per second in After View and 8 frames per second in Live View and continuous shooting with up to 116 JPEG (standard) or 46 compressed RAW shots.

Quiet continuous shooting at up to 8 frames per second

If absolute silence is required when taking pictures, you can shoot at up to 8 frames per second without any noise - with AF/AE tracking activated, even in AF-C mode, with AF with eye detection in real time or real-time tracking. This opens up new creative possibilities.

The newly introduced AI-based subject recognition technology processes a wealth of data and can even recognize and track fast-moving subjects.

Precise eye detection

The 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 eye detection reliably focuses on moving images in real time - even if 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 the composition. Assign buttons to customize these options so you can switch quickly while shooting.

Reliable focusing with real-time tracking

Keeping subjects reliably in focus at sporting events and other moving images can make or break your ability to capture an important, dramatic moment.

Focusing through new subject detection algorithm

A newly developed subject detection algorithm processes spatial color, distance (depth), pattern (brightness), 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 the subject conditions.

Simple touch tracking

If touch tracking is configured in the menu, you can select the subject simply by touching the monitor. The camera then tracks the subject automatically when taking photos or filming.

Thanks to the large sensor and modern image processor, you can capture any subject in ultra-sharp, natural colors - even in difficult lighting conditions.

24.2 megapixel sensor and optimized image processor

The APS-C sensor is equipped with copper wires and optimized circuit processing to improve light capture. In combination with the image processor, you achieve a high image resolution and a natural reproduction of structures.

Sharp images even in low light

Noise reduction enables sharper images even when shooting with high sensitivity in the dark. The basic ISO 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 similar to those used in full-frame cameras now enable more natural color reproduction. Skin tones and plant colors appear more natural.

Full pixel readout without pixel binning, high-resolution 4K video recordings, HDR (HLG) and S-Log/S-Gamut as well as slow motion and time-lapse recordings: The α6400 offers a wide range of functions that expand your creative possibilities when filming.

Time-lapse movies

The camera includes a newly introduced interval shooting function, i.e. continuous shooting with an interruption of 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 swivel LCD display is useful for selecting the image section. In addition to the socket for an external microphone, an optional XLR adapter (sold separately) can also be used for the audio track, allowing the use of professional microphones for higher audio quality.

The 3.0-inch LC display, which can be tilted through 180 degrees, not only shows the subject in front of you, but also makes a range of camera functions accessible via intuitive touch functions.

Seamless focus area selection via touchpad

The touchpad function allows you to move the focus seamlessly while looking through the viewfinder. Simply drag your finger across the monitor to the point you want to focus on.

Touch focus and touch shutter

Touch focus allows you to change the focus position simply by touching the monitor and even move it to the edge of the image. And with the touch shutter, you can focus and release the shutter with just one touch.

Activation of real-time tracking via touch tracking

With the touch tracking function, you simply touch the monitor to activate real-time tracking for photo or video recordings. The camera then immediately focuses permanently on the subject.
