ILCE-6500 α6500 Mirrorless Interchangeable-lens Camera 24.2 MP Exmor® CMOS sensor with world's fastest AF speed1 (0.05 sec.) and highest number of phase detection AF points2 (425). In-camera 5-axis optical image stabilization for every lens and enhanced AF features including intuitive and immediate touchscreen AF operation. 4K movie recording3 and pro video features including 2.4x oversampling4 with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, S-Log3/S-Log2, S-Gamut and gamma assist and more. Features 24.2MP of imaging innovation The newly developed 24.2 MP (approx. effective) APS-C Exmor® CMOS sensor features copper wiring and enhanced circuit processing that reduces the depth of the wiring layer to boost light collection efficiency. In conjunction with the BIONZ X® image processor and new front-end LSI, it significantly minimizes noise throughout a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-512005. Additionally, the front end LSI and highly conductive copper in the circuitry, accelerates readout speed to support high speed shooting with minimal lag, 4K movie recording3 with full pixel readout without pixel binning, Full HD 120fps shooting and 14-bit RAW output for still images. 4D FOCUS™ w/ world's fastest autofocus1 with world's most2 AF points The α6500's unrivaled 4D FOCUS™ system boasts the world's fastest autofocus (AF) acquisition time1 that can lock focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds. It also has the world's highest number of focal plane phase detection AF points2 - an incredible 425 - that are densely positioned over 84% of the image area. Moreover, the α6500 can capture full resolution 24.2MP images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking. The α6500 takes full advantage of its enhanced fast hybrid AF for movies in both HD and 4K3. Up to 11fps at 24.2MP with AE/AF tracking The α6500 has been designed to allow for high resolution, continuous shooting at high frame rates. The camera features a new front-end LSI that works with the image sensor, BIONZ X image processing engine and a newly designed shutter mechanism with braking feature to enable continuous shooting at impressive speeds up to 11fps with AF/AE tracking at full 24.2MP resolution. The α6500 can also shoot continuously for up to 269 frames6, thanks to a large buffer. These shots can be viewed immediately after shooting, even when in high-speed continuous shooting mode. Touch AF for stills/video with touchpad operation when using EVF The new touchscreen operation vastly enhances focus capabilities for intuitive and immediate focus response. Simply select a focus point anywhere on the LCD for fast and accurate AF response. When using the electronic viewfinder, simply shift focus points by using the LCD as a touchpad and dragging your finger to the desired subject point. Touching the LCD screen during movie recording allows for smooth focus point shifts. Enhanced Focus features The α6500 features a number of advanced autofocus functions for fast and accurate focus acquisition and subject tracking. Eye AF automatically detects and tracks an eye of even a moving subject (in AF-C mode), for more focusing accuracy, while Expand Flexible Spot automatically uses AF points surrounding the selected point to support precise focus if the selected AF point is not positioned on your subject directly. AF operation is available when using Focus Magnifier - a handy tool for enlarging your image on the LCD or viewfinder for manual and autofocus accuracy. The α6500 will focus exceptionally fast during movie shooting thanks to its Fast Hybrid AF system and offers touch focusing capabilities while also offering adjustable AF transition speed and AF tracking sensitivity. Additionally, the α6500 has the ability to take advantage of all of the camera's 425 phase detection AF points, focusing tracking and accuracy when using A-mount lenses11 with a mount adaptor like the Sony LA-EA3. 4K movie recording3 and pro video features
