Grab the Best of Life

Featuring a reliable design and apt performance to bolster creativity, the Sony a6400 is a sleek APS-C-format mirrorless camera featuring well-rounded photo and video capabilities. Using a proven sensor design, quick and precise AF performance, and smart operability, this camera is an ideal partner for capturing your everyday moments and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

24.2MP APS-C Exmor CMOS Sensor and BIONZ X Processor

The APS-C-format 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor realizes smooth, nuanced image quality with minimal noise and high sensitivity from ISO 100-32000, which can further be expanded to ISO 102400 for working in low-light conditions. The sensor features a unique design that utilizes thin copper wiring, enhanced circuit processing, and an enhanced front-end LSI to boost light-gathering abilities, reduce noise, and increase readout speeds to benefit video recording. The sensor and BIONZ X processor combination also avails a top continuous-shooting rate of 11 fps with AF and AE, or up to 8 fps with a silent shutter, and permits 14-bit raw file output for a wide tonal and color scale.

Using the full width of the sensor and 8-bit 4:2:0 color sampling with the 100Mbps XAVC S codec, UHD 4K video may be internally recorded at numerous frame rates up to 30 frames per second.
For further information, oversampled 4K recording is also an option, which employs a 6K capture region inside the Super 35 area. For better quality images with less moiré and aliasing, this whole pixel readout is devoid of pixel binning.

The a6400 offers a wide range of adjustable color and gamma parameters, including the ability to change the knee, color level, black level, gamma, and more. For extra post-production versatility, use the same S-Log2 Gamma Curve that is available on high-end Sony Cinema cameras. This curve may squeeze up to 1300% more dynamic range into the video signal than the conventional Rec. 709. Along with the BT.2020 color space, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support is also available for recording within a broad color gamut. In addition to S-Log2, S-Log3 is also available for creating an efficient 14-stop dynamic range with better grading control in the image’s shadow to mid-tone areas.

Uncompressed HDMI output allows for crisp 4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling in addition to high-resolution internal recording. An external recorder can also be used.
When using Imaging Edge software to create time-lapse videos, interval shooting mode is perfect. Up to 9999 sequential frames can be recorded by choosing intervals between 1 and 60 seconds.
By capturing a frame grab from a movie and saving it as a separate file, 4K video recording also offers the capability to create 8MP stills while the video is playing.

Shooters can record Full HD video at predetermined intervals between 1 and 120 frames per second by using the Slow & Quick (S&Q) mode. You can use these options to both speed up a slow-moving scene and slow down movement.

Focus on 4D

For accurate focusing in as little as 0.02 seconds, a potent 4D FOCUS system that covers almost the whole sensor surface combines 425 on-chip phase-detection points with 425 contrast-detection areas. High-density Tracking AF Technology, which is skilled at tracking moving objects in a range of lighting settings, is also made possible by the hybrid AF system’s density of focusing points.

In real time Eye AF, which is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes and for both stills and video, can be used to center focus on the eyes of known human subjects for portraits.
It is also possible to use Eye AF with any focusing mode when taking still photos of animals.

Stabilized Versatility and Low Weight

The Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a flexible 27-202.5mm equivalent zoom for APS-C-format E-mount mirrorless cameras that covers a useful wide-angle to medium telephoto range. This versatile lens works well in a range of settings, giving it the perfect zoom for travel applications. Additionally, image stabilization reduces the impression of camera shake for crisper handheld photography.

Design of Optics

To improve clarity and color accuracy, two extra-low dispersion components aid in lowering chromatic aberrations and color fringing.
For improved clarity and accurate depiction, one aspherical element aids in reducing spherical aberrations and controlling distortion.
When using selective focus techniques, the rounded seven-blade diaphragm adds to the attractive bokeh effect.

Stabilization and Autofocus of Images

When shooting handheld with shorter shutter speeds, optical steadyshot image stabilization helps to reduce the impression of camera shake for better images. For better control over camera blur, this stabilization technique can also be used in conjunction with sensor-shift image stabilization on some cameras.
Accurate and silent focusing during video recording is made possible by the linear autofocus motor’s rapid and precise autofocus capability.

Switching between focusing techniques is quick thanks to a dedicated AF/MF switch.
When working with close-up subjects, a minimum focusing distance of 1.5′ and a maximum magnification of 0.29x are ideal.
