SONY ALPHA 6600

Description

A full-fledged toolkit for your imagination

The α6600 packs in the features, to deliver what you need for just about any situation you encounter – fast AF, steady image stabilisation and stunning image quality, a high-capacity battery and serious 4K HDR (HLG)2 movie shooting.

Reliable and persistent AF
Wide AF area, super-fast AF speed and steady subject tracking. Densely distributed focus points cover around 84% of the image area, and the Fast Hybrid AF system combines the best of phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF to achieve a world-leading 0.02-sec.3 acquisition speed. When subjects are in motion, AF points densely positioned around the subject are activated for accurate tracking.

Fast continuous shooting with AF/AE at up to 11fps
Shoot at up to 11fps4 with minimal display lag, and 8fps4 with live view, in bursts of up to 1165 shots in JPEG (Standard) at one time. With your settings clearly previewed in the electronic viewfinder, and the virtually real-time display, it will elevate your action shooting to a whole new level.

Silent continuous shooting won’t disturb the peace
When the situation calls for absolute quiet, silent shooting with no shutter noise is possible at up to 8fps6, even in AF-C mode. Used with Real-time Eye AF or with Real-time Tracking it dramatically expands your range of shooting options.

Initiate tracking in an instant
Initiate Real-time Tracking by half-pressing the shutter, or simply select the subject by touch, to start tracking. You can also assign “Tracking On” to a custom key, and press it to start tracking.

AI-based subject tracking
The camera’s tracking systems rely on unique AI-based subject recognition algorithms7. These process spatial information consisting of colour, pattern (brightness), and distance (depth) data, as well as tracking the subject’s eye and face, all in real time at high speeds.

Real-time Eye AF for human
Even when your portrait subject is on the move, Real-time Eye AF provides continuous, stable eye detection and tracking to keep your scene in focus. It also works when the subject’s face is partially hidden, backlit, or facing downwards.

Real-time Eye AF for animal
The same eye-detection algorithms that make great portraits of people have been adapted to animals as well8, to help you get beautiful pet portraits and wildlife shots.

Smooth focus transition
Depending on the condition of the subject you’re tracking, the focus area will automatically and seamlessly switch between the subject’s face and eyes.

Real-time Tracking activation with Touch Tracking
With the Touch Tracking function you can simply touch the monitor to initiate Real-time Tracking for either stills or movies.

Optical Image Stabilisation
The 5-axis in-body optical image stabilisation mechanism used on our acclaimed full-frame cameras has been adapted as the stabilisation unit for the APS-C sensor on the α6600. Relying on a highly accurate gyro sensor, it detects and compensates for camera shake along five different axes, including angular (pitch and yaw), horizontal, vertical and rotational, for stabilisation equivalent to a 5-step10 faster shutter setting.

High image quality by design
Exmor™ APS-C CMOS sensor and latest-generation BIONZ X™ image processor. The 24.2-megapixel11 APS-C image sensor is optimised for highly efficient light collection, a wide sensitivity range and low-noise performance even at high ISO settings. In conjunction with the latest-generation BIONZ X image processing engine, it delivers superb image clarity and outstanding textural reproduction.

Low-noise performance for high ISO sensitivity
Across a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-32000 (expanded to ISO 50-102400), the α6600 delivers excellent low-noise performance for high-quality images even in dimly lit settings.

Improved colour reproduction
Algorithms inherited from our highly regarded full-frame cameras are responsible for the α6600’s faithful colour reproduction. Depiction of human skin tones has been significantly improved, as have the vibrant colours of flowers. Jaggies and false colours are also suppressed.
