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

"Left Eye", "Right Eye" or "Auto" before shooting so you can focus on the composition

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

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 shoots). 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

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

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.

Create expressive images - always and everywhere - with the world's smallest and lightest ultra wide-angle Zoom lens for APS-C cameras*

The SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary is the world's smallest and lightest ultra wide-angle Zoom lens for APS-C cameras*1 and covers a KB-equivalent focal length range of 15-27mm. Thanks to its ultra-sharp optical design and F2.8 aperture, photographers can create expressive images anytime, anywhere. A unique aspherical lens element of four aspheres in total contributes to the small overall size and outstanding image quality of the lens

the newly developed clip-on lens hood ensures that image quality remains excellent even in challenging lighting situations. The close focusing distance of 11.6 cm and the maximum magnification of 1:4 enable unique image compositions with expansive backgrounds and appealing bokeh

low weight of just 260 g*2 , its fast AF stepping motor and minimal focus breathing, the lens can be easily mounted on a gimbal. Nothing stands in the way of creating impressive video content for social media and professional projects

*1 As an AF F2.8 Zoom lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensor. According to SIGMA information as of October 2023.

*2 The data refers to the lens with L-mount.

Aspherical lens, special glass with low dispersion

The use of an aspherical lens with high eccentricity and high refractive index as the first lens element has enabled an optical design with a reduced number of elements. In combination with other aspherical lenses and special low-dispersion glass, the lens produces high-resolution images while remaining compact and lightweight

Close focusing distance 11.6 cm, maximum magnification 1:4

This ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens enables expressive close-ups with a focal length of 10 mm and a closest focusing distance of 11.6 cm. The maximum scale is 1:4, making it easy to find expressive creative perspectives

Newly developed clip-on and tulip-shaped lens hood

The new lens hood is included with the lens. In contrast to the conventional bayonet lens hoods, which are attached with a twisting movement, this lens hood is simply clipped on.
