Reliable and continuous AF: Wide AF area, super fast AF and continuous tracking of subject
The densely distributed focus points cover about 84% of the image area and Fast Hybrid AF combines the best of Phase Detection and Contrast Detection AF for an impareable capture speed of 0.02 seconds2. AF points around the subject perform a precise tracking when moving.
Fast continuous run with AF/AE tracking up to 11 fps
Take up to 11 fps with minimum display delay and 8 fps3 in Live View mode, capturing up to 116 JPEG (standard) photographs at a time. By displaying the settings on the electronic viewfinder and the display practically in real time, your action footage will reach a new level.
Silent continuous screed to keep quiet
When you require absolute silence, the shutter-free shutter trigger offers up to 8 fps4 speeds, even in AF-C mode, with Real Time Eye AF or Tracking in real time, to offer you even more extensive shooting options.
Start tracking in an instant
To start tracking in real time you only have to press the shutter button partially or tap the subject on the display. You can also decide to assign “Tracking enabled” to a custom key and press it to activate the function.
Tracking of AI-based subjects
Tracking systems use exclusive AI5-based subject detection algorithms that process spatial information related to color, pattern (luminosity) and distance (depth) and follow subject eyes and face at high speed.
Real Time Eye AF for Humans
Even with moving subjects, Real Time Eye AF guarantees constant and stable eye tracking and detection to keep focus. It also works if the face is partially hidden, backlit orivolto down.
Real Time Eye AF for Animals
The same eye detection algorithms used for humans were also adapted for animals6, so as to ensure magnificent shots of pets and wildlife.
AF selection right/left touch
You can choose to give priority to the right or left eye of the subject in the settings, and to do so you just need to touch the camera screen.
Fluid fire transitions
Depending on the condition of the subject, the focus area automatically passes and smoothly from the face of the subject to his eyes.
Tracking with Touch Tracking
With the Touch Tracking feature, just tap the monitor to start tracking in real time for photos or videos.
Control pitch and yaw
Compensation of angular vibrations, also known as pitch and yaw, particularly noticeable when shooting at higher focal lengths.
Horizontal and vertical axes
Compensation of camera vibrations horizontally and vertically, particularly noticeable to high magnification factors such as macro shooting.
Roll compensation
Compensation of the rotating movements (roll), more evident in the case of free-hand video shooting at long duration.
CMOS Exmor APS-C sensor and innovative BIONZ X image processor
The 24.2 MP APS-C image sensor is optimized to ensure effective light collection, wide range of sensitivity and extremely reduced disturbances even at high ISO settings. Along with BIONZ image processor X offers images of extraordinary purity and reproduction of color.
Extremely reduced disturbances and high sensitivity ISO
α6600 guarantees extremely low noises and high quality images throughout the wide range of ISO sensitivity from 100-32,000 (expandable up to ISO 50-102.400), even in poorly illuminated environments.
Reproduction of optimized colors
The algorithms inherited by the acclaimed full-frame cameras ensure a more realistic color reproduction on α6600. Skin shades look more natural, and the same goes for flowers. Scale effects (jaggies) and false colors are suppressed.
Versatile video shooting functions
With full pixel-free binning reading, you can record 4K HR1 videos and the new HLG image profile (Hybrid Log-Gamma) supports instant HDR playback. There is also a sophisticated image stabilization.
Subject always on fire
Working together, the Fast Hybrid AF system, real-time tracking and the Real Time Eye AF camera manages to maintain a stable and secure focus on the subject, leaving you free to think about the most creative aspects of video shooting.
Scatto at intervals to create video in time-lapse
The camera features include shooting at time-lapse video intervals with clicks at selectable intervals between 1 and 60 seconds. You can combine high resolution images on a PC and view them on the camera with a simple variable speed preview function
Support for S-Log shooting
S-Log3 and S-Log2 range curves offer a wide range of dynamics (up to 1.300% wider than Rec. 709) to minimize underexposed and overexposed areas and facilitate the grading of post-production colors.
Slow and Quick Motion Resumption
You can turn slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x) directly from the camera or use Full HD videos to 120 fps to create high-quality slow motion in post-production.
Touch functionality for a wide range of action
The practical touch features such as Touch Focus and Touch Tracking, available on the α660013 monitor, are also accessible when connected to the external monitor camera.
