5-axis optical image stabilization Pitch and yaw control Compensate for angular shake, also known as pitch and yaw shake, especially evident when shooting at longer focal lengths. Horizontal and vertical axes Compensate for camera shake in the horizontal and vertical directions, most apparent at high magnifications such as macro shooting. Roll compensation Compensate for roll, or rotational shake, most obvious in hand-held, long-duration movie shooting. How optical image stabilization works The 5-axis in-body optical image stabilization mechanism used on our acclaimed full-frame cameras has been adapted as the stabilization 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 stabilization equivalent to a 5-step faster shutter setting. Magnificent images High image quality by design Exmor APS-C CMOS sensor and latest-generation BIONZ X image processor The 24.2-megapixel APS-C image sensor is optimized for highly efficient light collection, a wide sensitivity range 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. Low-noise performance for high ISO sensitivity Across a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100–32000 (expanded to ISO 50–102400), the α6600 delivers excellent low-noise performance for high-quality images even in dimly lit settings. Improved color reproduction Algorithms inherited from our highly regarded full-frame cameras are responsible for the α6600’s faithful color reproduction. Depiction of human skin tones has been significantly improved, as have the vibrant colors of flowers. Jaggies and false colors are also suppressed. True-to-life 4K HDR (HLG) movie recording Versatile movie-making capabilities Full-pixel readout with no pixel binning enables high-resolution 4K movie recording, while a new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile supports instant HDR delivery. Sophisticated image stabilization completes the picture. Keep the focus on your subject Working together, the camera’s Fast Hybrid AF system, Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF maintain steady and dependable focus on your subject, so you can enjoy the more creative aspects of movie-making. Interval Shooting to create time-lapse movies The camera’s capabilities include built-in Interval Shooting, for time-lapse videos with a selectable shot interval of 1–60 seconds. Resulting images can be combined in high resolution on a PC, and viewed with a simple variable-speed preview function on the camera. S-Log shooting support The S-Log3 and S-Log2 Gamma curves feature wide dynamic range (up to 1,300% of Rec. 709) to minimize whiteout and blackout and allow a wider scope for color grading in post-production. Slow & Quick Motion recording You can record movies in slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x) directly in the camera, or use 120fps Full HD video to create high-quality slow-motion footage in post-production. Extend your reach with external touch operations Convenient touch operations such as Touch Focus and Touch Tracking, that are available on the α6600’s monitor, can still be accessed even when external monitors are connected to the camera. Tell your stories in your own way The α6600 is designed for powerful film-making, so pros and enthusiasts alike can share their stories with the world. The 180°-tiltable display makes self-framing easy for vlogging or challenging shooting angles. Professional audio is also covered with an external mic jack and headphone jack for monitoring. And the improved grip ensures rock-solid, comfortable shooting for hours at a time. Powerful, reliable, versatile High-capacity Z battery supports long-duration shooting To support longer shooting sessions, the α6600 comes equipped with the same high-capacity battery introduced with many of our full-frame cameras, while maintaining the camera’s slim form. Dust- and moisture-resistant magnesium-alloy body The camera is resistant to dust and moisture, with a top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover constructed from a lightweight but sturdy magnesium alloy. Customization features The camera’s 11 buttons can each be assigned to one of 91 different functions, and functions can also be assigned to the control dial and wheel. My Menu lets you register 30 different menu items.
