Sony A6400 Overview
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 avail 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.
-
Internal recording of UHD 4K video is possible in multiple frame rates
up to 30 fps using the full width of the sensor with 8-bit 4:2:0 color
sampling using the 100Mbps XAVC S codec.
-
Oversampled 4K recording is also possible, which uses a 6K capture area
within the Super 35 area, for greater detail. This full pixel readout is
void of pixel binning for higher quality imagery with reduced moiré and
aliasing.
-
Affording extensive customizable color and gamma controls, the ZV-E10
allows users to adjust the gamma, black level, knee, color level, and
more. Use the same S-Log2 Gamma Curve that is found on high-end Sony
Cinema cameras, which squeezes up to 1300% more dynamic range into the
video signal than traditional Rec. 709, for increased post-production
flexibility. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support is also available, along
with the BT.2020 color space, for recording within a wide color gamut
and, in addition to S-Log2, S-Log3 is also available for producing an
effective 14-stop dynamic range with increased grading control in the
shadow to mid-tone regions of the image.
-
In addition to high-resolution internal recording, uncompressed HDMI
output also enables the use of an optional external recorder for clean
4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling.
-
Interval shooting mode is ideal for creating time-lapse movies with the
aid of Imaging Edge software. Intervals can be selected between 1-60
seconds for recording up to 9999 sequential frames.
-
4K video recording also avails the ability to produce 8MP stills during
playback by taking a frame grab from a movie and storing it as a
separate file.
-
Slow & Quick (S&Q) mode allows shooters to capture Full HD video
at specified steps between 1-120 fps. These settings will allow you to
slow down action as well as speed up a slow-moving scene.
4D FOCUS
Covering nearly the entire sensor area, a powerful 4D FOCUS system
incorporates 425 on-chip phase-detection points along with 425
contrast-detection areas for precise focusing in as little as 0.02
seconds. The density of focusing points from this hybrid AF system also
enables High-density Tracking AF Technology, which is adept at tracking
moving subjects in a variety of lighting conditions.
-
Real-time Eye AF can be used to base focus on recognized human subjects'
eyes for portraits and is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes and for
both stills and video.
- Eye AF can be used when photographing animal subjects, too, with any focusing mode when shooting stills.
-
Lock-on AF maintains focus on moving subjects through the use of a
configurable frame that is set over the desired moving subject
-
Expand Flexible Spot employs neighboring focus points to retain focus on
moving subjects even if the originally selected point loses focus
-
The Focus Magnifier function can be used for critical focus when homing in on minute subject details.
-
The rear touchscreen can be used for Touch Focus and Touch Tracking control
and a Touchpad Focus Control mode lets you use the rear screen
intuitively while keeping your eye on the viewfinder
-
In addition to autofocus, the a6400 also features a Peaking MF function
to benefit manual focus control by highlighting sharp edges of contrast
for a more objective means of acquiring sharp focus.
Body Design and Connectivity
-
Tru-Finder 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder offers a bright, high-resolution means for eye-level monitoring.
-
A 3.0" 921.6k-dot LCD touchscreen can be tilted 180° upward or 74°
downward to suit working from high and low angles. The screen also
incorporates White Magic technology with an RGBW pixel structure for
increased brightness to support use in daylight conditions.
-
The touchscreen design avails access to Touch Focus control, for
immediate focus point selection, as well as a Touchpad function that
lets you smoothly and intuitively select a focus point on the screen
while you're looking into the viewfinder.
-
Integrated 3.5mm microphone ports afford greater control over audio during video recording.
-
The included NP-FW50 rechargeable lithium-ion is rated for approximately
410 shots per charge when working with the LCD screen or 360 shots when
using the viewfinder.
-
In addition to the battery, the a6400 can also be powered via a USB
connection to a computer or mobile battery. This connection can also be
used to charge the battery.
-
Built-in Wi-Fi enables the a6400 to instantly share imagery to mobile
devices for direct sharing online to social networking, via email, and
to cloud storage sites. NFC (Near Field Communication) is also
supported, which allows for a one-touch connection between the camera and
compatible mobile devices; no complex setup is required. Once
connected, the linked mobile device can also display a live view image
on its screen and remotely control the camera's shutter.
-
Bluetooth connectivity allows for location data acquisition.
Spanning a useful wide-angle to medium telephoto range, the E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS from Sony
is a versatile 27-202.5mm equivalent zoom for APS-C-format E-mount
mirrorless cameras. This well-rounded lens suits working in a variety of
situations, making it an ideal zoom for travel applications, and the
image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for
sharper imagery when shooting handheld.
