Sony Alpha ILCE-6400 + ZEISS Batis 18mm f2.8

With the Sony Alpha 6400, there are no more limits to your creative imagination. 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 autofocus points

The high focus point density covers about 84% of the image area, making subject acquisition easier.

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

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

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.

The newly introduced AI-based subject 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 - all without special settings simply by pressing the shutter button.

Continuous eye tracking

When AF-C is activated, AF with real-time eye detection reliably focuses moving images - even when part of the face is obscured, backlit, or looking down.

Select theleft 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 for quick switching during shooting.

Reliablefocus 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 seamlessly transitions between the face and eyes depending on subject conditions.

Easy touch tracking

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 difficult 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. ISO base sensitivity has been increased to ISO 32000 (with an extended ISO sensitivity up to ISO 102400 for photo shooting). This gives you good results in the commonly used medium to high sensitivity range.

Natural-looking, realistic shots

Image processing algorithms like those used in full-frame cameras now enable more natural-looking 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, which means continuous shooting with a break between 1 and 60 seconds between photo shots. From these, time-lapse movies can be created 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 selecting the image section. 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 swiveling 3.0-inch LC display not only shows the subject in front of you, but also makes a number of camera functions accessible at the same time via intuitive touch functions.

Seamless focus area selection via touchpad

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

TouchFocus and Touch Shutter

Touch Focus lets you 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.

Activating real-time tracking via touchtracking

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

The "Batis" of Zeiss offers a particularly wide angle of view of 90° and thus enables photographs to be taken from the most unusual perspectives. High resolution is achieved over the entire imaging area, making the lens ideal for landscape or architectural photography.

The Zeiss wide-angle lens features autofocus and is designed specifically for Sony mirrorless system cameras with full-frame sensors. Depth of field and distance can be read on the intuitive OLED screen. Thanks to splash water and dust protection, the lens can also be used in adverse conditions. The autofocus focuses particularly quickly and smoothly, so you won't miss a moment.
