Impressive shots thanks to outstanding AF performance
Innovative technologies let you capture fleeting moments down to the smallest detail with fast, precise autofocus. The 425 AF phase detection points combine with AF contrast detection to deliver the impressive 0.02 sec. capture speed12 high-density AF tracking technology is capable of reliably tracking even aimlessly moving subjects.
Consistently focus on your subject with real-time tracking
When tracking a fast-moving subject, the camera's automatic motion tracker uses an AI motif detection algorithm13 and takes into account color, pattern (brightness), subject distance (depth), and face/eye information to recognize the subject. Eye information to detect and focus on the subject throughout.
Reliable AF with real-time eye detection for better portrait shots
Real-time eye detection AF detects your subject's eyes and automatically focuses on them when you half-press the shutter button. You can even choose to focus on the subject's left or right eye. With AF-C enabled, the camera focuses reliably even when the face is partially obscured, backlit, or looking down.
High-Speed Continuous Shooting with AF/AE Tracking
Capture continuous shooting at up to 11 frames per second15 or 8 frames per second16 in silent shutter mode and up to 7717 Frames to capture every moment of fast action scenes. Display lag has been minimized so you can accurately capture up to 8 frames per second15 even in Live View mode. Continuous images can be displayed as related groups of images in Playback mode.
AF with Real-time Eye Detection for Animals
The subject detection technology of AF with Real-time Eye Detection has been enhanced to detect not only human eyes, but also animal eyes. When activated, the function detects and tracks animal eyes quickly, accurately, and automatically. As a result, you will succeed in taking more beautiful animal portraits and nature shots14.
Precise autofocus even in low light
Thanks to the sophisticated AF algorithm, the autofocus works ultra-precisely even in low light. With high AF sensitivity, AF-S autofocus works down to EV -218 reliably.
Easy manual focus with highly visible peaking
When using manual focus, the camera highlights the most sharply focused part of the image area in color. Peaking colors include blue, red, yellow, and white, so visibility of focus areas is increased during high-precision focusing for macro and portrait shooting.
Focus magnification for more precise focus adjustment in MF and AF modes
When focus needs to be especially precise, such as during macro shooting, you can display the area you want to focus on magnified. Then adjust the focus point ultra-precisely on the touch screen or with the focus point selector.
Versatile touch operation
The camera's LC display is intuitively easy to operate by touch, for example with touch pad (for seamlessly moving the focus point), touch focus (for fixing the focus point), touch shutter (for triggering) and touch tracking (for activating real-time AF).
Natural skin tones
The Skin Tone feature, adopted from our highly acclaimed latest full-frame cameras, reproduces human skin tones in their natural beauty. This helps you achieve perfect portraits.
Impressive image quality, low noise, and wide ISO range
The camera's wide sensitivity range extends from ISO 100 to 32,000, and can be expanded to 51,200 for photo shooting. Thanks to ultra-low-noise performance, high-quality shots can be taken even at high sensitivities and in low-light conditions. Noise reduction and selective focus processing across the image area, area-specific noise reduction, and detail reproduction technologies render subject structures and shadows in fine detail.
Innovative image processing
The 24.2-megapixel APS-C format ExmorTM CMOS sensor19 provides a wide sensitivity range and reduces image noise to a minimum. Combined with the next-generation BIONZ XTM image processor, it produces ultra-sharp, high-resolution, aesthetically pleasing images with superb textural reproduction.
14-bit RAW output for rich color gradations
True 14-bit RAW images are made possible via a powerful LSI and the BIONZ X image processor. To maintain smooth, natural color gradations, all processing is done at 16 bits. This ensures that no dithering or processing errors make their way into the final 14-bit RAW image output.
4K movie recording in high bit rate XAVC S format
Super 35mm format and 4K movie recording with full pixel display without pixel binning allows for approximately 2.4x oversampling20 and thus provide the image information needed for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160). Downscaling of videos whose resolution corresponds to 6K provides a more lifelike display with more details. The XAVC S video codec21 with high bit rate (up to 100 Mbps at 4K 30p/24p) enables professional-quality images in a user-friendly format.
Creative Mode and Picture Effects
Creative Mode lets you select settings such as Vivid or Portrait to give your shots a distinctive look. You can also fine-tune the exposure, contrast, color saturation, and sharpness of your shots. Use image effects, such as "Partial Color Filter" or "Miniature," to add a creative touch to your shots.
Slow motion, time-lapse, and high-speed shooting at 120 frames per second
Slow motion (up to 5x) and time-lapse (up to 60x)22 shooting can be done directly with the camera at resolutions up to Full HD, without the need for post-processing. In addition, post-processing lets you create high-quality slow-motion movies from Full HD footage at high bit rates (up to 100 Mbps) and high frame rates (up to 120p).
Sophisticated features for high-quality movie recording
The α6100 is well-equipped for movie workflows with Clean HDMI output, adjustable frame rates, and proxy recording. In addition, a number of features are available to improve the accuracy of movie recording, such as the display of overlay marks or grid lines, zebra lines for metering, or ISO values for ISO Auto shooting. You can also easily extract still images from movies in playback mode.
Interval shots for time-lapse movies
You can now take interval shots with a configurable interval between 1 and 60 seconds, which can be used to create a time-lapse movie on the PC23. Using the simple preview at different speeds, you can see on the camera what the finished movie will look like.
180° tilting LCD display
The 3-inch LCD monitor with 921,000 pixels shows your subject in sharp focus. It tilts 180° up and 74° down for convenient framing of vlogs and selfies and bird's-eye and frog's-eye shots.
Support for high-quality microphones and audio inputs
An external microphone can be connected directly through the camera's microphone jack. In addition, you have the option of using a line input and an input with 48 V phantom power via the XLR adapter kit, which is available separately. This allows you to connect a wide range of high-quality microphones for better audio quality in your movie recordings.
Better usability with custom functions
You can custom-assign up to eight buttons and controls on the camera to any of the 89 recording and playback functions. The personal menu function allows you to flexibly assign 30 menu functions. Keep track of your custom settings with the custom settings display. Helpful instructions for menu items can be accessed with just one touch on the menu screen.
