The power in your hands. A comprehensive toolkit for your imagination

The α6600 is packed with features for almost every possible situation - fast AF, image stabilization and stunning image quality, a large battery capacity and professional 4K HDR (HLG)1 movie recording capabilities.

• Wide AF area, ultra-fast AF and stable subject tracking. Densely spaced focus points cover 84% of the frame, and the Fast Hybrid AF system combines phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF to achieve the world's fastest focusing speed of 0.02 s2. When subjects move, AF points arranged around them are activated to track them precisely.


• Fast continuous shooting with AF/AE at up to 11 fps. Shoot at up to 11 fps3 with low display lag and 8 fps3 with Live View burst mode for up to 1164 JPEG (standard) images at a time. Settings are displayed in the electronic viewfinder, with real-time image display, improving the capture of action scenes.


• Silent continuous shooting will not disturb the peace. When absolute silence is required, silent shooting without a shutter sound is possible at up to 8fps5, even in AF-C mode. Combined with Eye Detection AF or Real-time Tracking, you can expand your shooting possibilities.


• Real-time tracking and Real-time Eye AF


• AI-based object tracking Camera tracking systems rely on unique AI-based object recognition algorithms6. They process spatial information, which includes color, texture (brightness), and distance (depth) data, and track the subject’s eyes and face—all in real time at high speed.


• Real-time eye detection AF. Even when your portrait subject moves, Real-time Eye AF continuously and stably tracks their eyes and focuses on the scene. It also works when the subject's face is obscured, backlit, or facing downwards.


• Real-time animal eye detection AF. The same eye detection algorithms that help you take great portraits of people are also applied to animals7, to help you capture beautiful animal portraits and wildlife shots.


• Right/left eye AF activation by touch. Giving more importance to the subject's left or right eye is possible not only in the settings, but also by simply tapping on the camera screen.


• Smooth focus transition. Depending on the condition of the subject you are observing, the focus area automatically and seamlessly shifts from the subject's face to the eyes.


• Activate real-time tracking with a touch. With the touch tracking feature, you can simply tap the screen to activate real-time tracking for photos or movies.


• 5-axis optical image stabilization.


• Horizontal and vertical inclination. Compensate for angular shake, also known as horizontal and vertical shake, which is especially evident when shooting at longer focal lengths.


• Horizontal and vertical axes. Compensate for camera shake in the horizontal and vertical directions, which is especially noticeable when the image is highly magnified, such as when shooting close-ups.


• Compensation of translational vibrations. Compensate for roll (rotational shake), which is most noticeable when the camera is held in your hands during long movie shooting.


• How optical image stabilization works. The 5-axis optical image stabilization mechanism in the body, used in our full-frame cameras, has been adopted as the APS-C sensor stabilization device in the α6600. It operates on a precision gyro sensor and detects and compensates for shake along five axes, including angular (pitch and roll), horizontal, vertical and rotational, and provides stabilization equivalent to 5 stops9 faster


• Amazing views.


• High image quality from the ground up. Exmor™ APS-C CMOS sensor, latest-generation BIONZ X™ image processor The 24.2-megapixel10 APS-C image sensor captures light efficiently, has a wide sensitivity range, and operates quietly even at high ISO settings. Together with the latest-generation BIONZ X image processing engine, it captures images with stunning clarity and texture reproduction.


• Low noise, allowing for high ISO sensitivity. Across its wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-32000 (expandable to ISO 50-102400), the α6600 delivers extremely low noise for high-quality images even in low-light environments.


• Improved color reproduction. Algorithms inherited from our acclaimed full-frame cameras drive the α6600’s accurate color reproduction. The rendering of human skin tones and vibrant flowers is greatly improved. Jagged lines and false colors are also corrected.


• Realistic 4K HDR (HLG) filming. Versatile filming options Full pixel scanning without pixel quantization enables high-resolution 4K video recording1, while the HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile ensures fast HDR performance. Sophisticated image stabilization technology also contributes to image quality.


• Maintain focus on your subject. Together, the camera's Fast Hybrid AF system, Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye-Detection AF maintain stable and reliable focus on your subject, so you can focus on the more creative aspects of your movie shooting.


• Interval shooting for time-lapse videos. The camera has built-in interval shooting11 to capture time-lapse videos at a custom interval of 1-60 seconds. The resulting images can be stitched together in high resolution on a computer and viewed using the camera’s easy-to-use adjustable-speed playback.


• S-Log capture support. S-Log3 and S-Log2 gamma curves feature high dynamic range (up to 1300% Rec.709) to reduce bleaching and blackening and allow for a wider range of color gradation during editing12.


• Slow and fast motion video capture. You can record slow motion (up to 5x) and fast motion (up to 60x) directly in the camera, or use 120fps Full HD footage to create high-quality slow motion footage during editing13.


• More convenient external touch functions. Convenient touch functions such as touch focus and touch tracking can be accessed on the α6600's screen14 even when external displays are connected to the camera.


• Tell your stories in your own way. The α6600 is built for powerful video capture, so professionals and enthusiasts alike can share their stories with the world. A 180° tilting screen makes it easy to shoot for video podcasts or compose complex shots. It also features professional audio with an external microphone jack and headphone jack. An improved grip lets you shoot for hours with confidence and comfort.


• The large Z battery helps you shoot for long periods of time. To keep you shooting for longer, the α6600 has the same high-capacity battery as many of our full-frame cameras15, but it remains compact.


• Dust and moisture resistant magnesium body. This camera is dust and moisture resistant16, as its top cover, front cover, inner frame and rear cover are made of lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy.
