Reliable AF lets you capture great action shots

The camera's advanced AF quickly and reliably detects the position of the subject and tracks the subject's movement, keeping it in sharp focus.

Continuous tracking function

When subjects are moving, accurate tracking is ensured by activating AF points densely spaced around the subject.

Continuous shooting with AF/AE up to 11 fps

Never miss a moment with fast processing and a large buffer. Shoot at up to 11 fps with continuous playback or up to 8 fps with live view. Capture up to 116 frames in JPEG (standard) or 46 frames in compressed RAW in a single continuous burst.

Silent continuous shooting at up to 8x8fps

When shooting in silence, such as during a live performance, you can shoot silently without shutter noise at up to 8fps with AF/AE tracking even in AF-C mode, using Real-time Eye-Detection AF or Real-time Tracking, giving you a wide range of shooting options.

Real-time Eye AF, Real-time Tracking

Smart object tracking

Recently introduced artificial intelligence-based object recognition technology processes a wealth of data to detect and track even fast-moving objects.

Advanced eye recognition and tracking

Accurate eye recognition

Advanced Real-time Eye Detection AFxA0 reliably detects a person's face and focuses precisely on the person's eyes. No special settings are required - just press the shutter button.

Continuous eye tracking

When set to AF-C, Real-time Eye Detection AFxa0xa0keeps a moving subject in stable focus even when part of the face is obscured, the face is backlit, or the subject is looking downwards.

Select the subject's left or right eye

You can now pre-select left eye, right eye or automatic settings in the menu, leaving more room for composition. The options can be assigned to custom buttons, so you can quickly change them while shooting.

Continuous tracking of moving objects

Real-time tracking9xa0keeps the image in focus well

When photographing sports events or other situations where subjects are moving quickly, maintaining consistent focus can make the difference between capturing an important and dramatic moment or missing it.

New object recognition algorithm tracks moving objects

The newly developed object recognition algorithm quickly processes spatial information based on color, object distance (depth), pattern (brightness), and facial and eye information in real time.

Smooth transition from body to face and eye tracking

When shooting a distant moving person, the tracking system captures the entire body, and the focus area smoothly changes from the face to the eyes according to the subject's condition.

Just touch and watch

When touch tracking is set in the menu, select a subject by simply touching the monitor. The camera will automatically track the subject when taking photos or recording movies.

Amazing image quality

Enjoy stunning, incredibly detailed images

Thanks to the large sensor and the latest image processing module, you can shoot whatever you want, and the photos will be amazingly clear and bright, with natural colors even in low light.

24.2 MP sensor and advanced image processing module

The APS-C sensor features copper wiring and a reinforced processing circuit, allowing for more efficient light collection. Together with the image processing module, this helps achieve higher image resolution and more natural texture rendering.

Clearer images even in twilight

Improved noise reduction enables clearer image quality even when shooting in low light conditions where high sensitivity is required. The base ISO sensitivity has been increased to a maximum of ISO 32xA0000 (the maximum expanded ISO sensitivity for still photography is ISO 102xA0400). Noise reduction is particularly effective when selecting the frequently used medium or high sensitivities.

Natural images that match what you see

By applying image processing algorithms similar to those used in full-frame cameras, colors are rendered more realistically. Human skin tones appear more natural, and plant colors are also better reproduced.

4K movies and pro-level features

Creative filmmaking

The α6400 features advanced features to help you create movies, including full pixel scanning without pixel binning, enabling high-resolution 4K movies to be recorded in HDR (HLG), as well as S-Log/S-Gamut options and slow-motion and fast-motion recording.

High-definition 4K video recording

Super 35mm format recording with 2.4x sampling in 4K movies (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) for exceptional image quality.

4K filming

Fast Hybrid AF

S-Log/HLG

Create time-lapse movies

The camera features a new interval shooting function, which allows continuous shooting with a 1-60 second interval between shots. The result can be used to create time-lapse movies using a computer and the Viewer application from the Imaging EdgeTM desktop applications.

Video blog with useful features

If you're a vlogger, the 180-degree tilting LCD monitor will come in handy when composing shots. For audio recording, in addition to an external microphone jack, there's also an optional XLR adapter (sold separately) to make it easier to use professional-grade microphones and get better sound quality.

Take advantage of various filming functions

The camera can record slow motion (up to 5x) and fast motion (up to 60x) movies without post-processing on a computer. Full HD 120fps video can also be used to create high-quality slow motion movies during post-production. Interval shooting makes editing and review easier, while the photo capture function lets you take still photos from recorded movies.

Smart operation

High-resolution LCD monitor with convenient touch screen functions

The 3.0-type, 180-degree tilting LCD screen does much more than just show you the view in front of you - it lets you quickly control many of the camera's functions and perform various operations intuitively with just a touch.

Select the focus area using the touchpad

The touchpad function allows you to smoothly move the current focus position while looking through the viewfinder. Simply slide your finger across the monitor until you see the desired point you want to focus on.

Touch focus and touch shutter

If you want to move the focus, even to the edge of the frame, you can do so simply by touching the monitor with the touch focus function. The touch lock function allows you to set the focus and activate the shutter with a single touch.

Touch tracking feature enables real-time tracking

With Touch Tracking, you can simply touch the monitor to activate real-time tracking while taking photos or videos. The camera will instantly lock onto the subject you've aimed at and focus on it continuously.

Set up the camera the way you want it

A variety of customization features, similar to those found on full-frame models, provide greater flexibility and control over camera operation.

Access the settings you need by pressing the customizable buttons

All eight camera buttons and controls can be assigned to any of 89 functions and settings. The actions performed will vary depending on whether you're taking photos, recording videos, or in replay mode.

Control functions "My Menu" and "My Dial"

With the My Dial function, assign frequently used functions to the control dial for quick access when shooting. Register up to 30 menu items in My Menu for quick access to frequently used menu items.

Customize using the visualized setup screen

The illustration of the camera's control components on the Custom Settings screen lets you see at a glance which button or switch you're assigning, and when you set up the function menu, you can view the structure of the actual function screen.

Imaging Edge™ Remote, Viewer and Edit features

Go further with Imaging Edge desktop applications: Control and monitor your shooting on your computer screen with Remote; Quickly review, rate and select photos from your image libraries with Viewer; and Turn RAW data into high-quality photos with Edit.
