Ultra-Fast AF and Continuous Shooting

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.² 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 11fps³ in bursts of up to 116⁴ shots in JPEG (Standard) at one time
Silent Continuous Shooting at up to 8fps⁵

Real-Time Tracking and Real-Time Eye AF

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.

The camera's tracking systems rely on unique AI-based subject recognition algorithms⁶. 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.

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.

The same eye-detection algorithms that make great portraits of people have been adapted to animals as well⁷, to help you get beautiful pet portraits and wildlife shots.

5-Axis Optical Image Stabilisation

The 5-axis in-body optical image stabilisation mechanism used on Sony's 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-step⁸ faster shutter setting.

Magnificent Images

The 24.2-megapixel⁹ APS-C image sensor is optimised for highly efficient light collection, a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-32000 (expanded to ISO 50-102400) 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.

True-to-Life 4K HDR (HLG) Movie Recording

Full-pixel readout with no pixel binning enables high-resolution 4K movie recording¹, while a new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile supports instant HDR delivery. Sophisticated image stabilisation completes the picture.

Fast Hybrid AF System, Real-Time Tracking and Real-Time Eye AF work together for steady, dependable focus
