Expand your shooting range

Meet the α6500 — the APS-C interchangeable lens compact camera that puts the power to shoot professional-looking stills and movies solidly in your hands. An enhanced buffer for continuous shooting of up to 307 shots, in-camera 5-axis optical image stabilisation, touchscreen control, super-speed AF and High-density Tracking AF Technology extend the range of your shooting capabilities.

 

Focus at top speed

Capture every moment — the world’s fastest AF speed and highest number of AF points respond flawlessly to virtually any shooting situation.

5-axis stabilisation in palm-sized body

Focus evolves with a touch

Touch Pad Function

Swipe screen to shift focus point while watching viewfinder
With Touch Pad function, you can swipe the LCD touchscreen to shift focus point intuitively and easily from an area to another, even as you monitor the viewfinder.

Immediate focus point selection by touch

Use just your finger to focus as you like within the frame
Touch Focus makes it particularly easy to adjust focus quickly, so you don’t miss the chance to capture your chosen subject at the decisive moment. 

For more dynamic image depiction

With new front-end LSI, BIONZ X processes data from the Exmor CMOS image sensor for outstanding texture, clarity, and image sharpness with low noise in stills and movies.

 

High-quality 4K recording

Shoot and internally record 4K movies generated from 6K equivalent (20MP) data in Super 35mm format. Intuitive Touch Focus and 5-axis image stabilisation extend shooting freedom.

 

Slow & Quick motion

Up to 5x Slow Motion and up to 60x Quick Motion can be recorded in camera at up to 50Mbps in Full HD, then played back without post-production processing.

S-Gamut / S-Log shooting

S-Gamut/S-Log enable wide dynamic range (max. 1300%) shooting for more expressive moviemaking in post-production. The α6500 even offers 14-stop latitude at S-Log3 setting.
