Sony A6700 Digital Camera Body
APS-C format back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor with approximately 26.0 effective megapixels
Advanced BIONZ XR engine boosts overall processing speed by up to 8x2
Innovative AI processing unit for enhanced subject recognition, AF and Tracking
In-body 5-axis image stabilisation with Active Mode for movie shooting
High-level movie performance inherited from the Cinema Line
APS-C format Exmor R™ back-illuminated CMOS sensor
The advanced Exmor R CMOS image sensor with 26.01 effective megapixels is packed with Sony's image sensor technologies. Thanks to its back-illuminated format, gapless on-chip lenses, and AR coating (anti-reflection seal glass), it offers extraordinary sensitivity, resolution, and dynamic range.
BIONZ XR™ processing power for exceptional image quality
With up to eight times more processing power than previous versions, the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine delivers natural gradations and realistic colours with low noise for stills and movies.
Wide dynamic range for diverse shooting scenarios
The α6700's standard sensitivity ranges from a low ISO 100 to ISO 320003. It offers a wide dynamic range to capture natural gradations in high-contrast scenes without blown highlights or blocked shadows.
Consistently accurate exposure and colour
The α6700 offers impressive exposure control. It's equipped with a new AE algorithm, initially developed for full-frame models, which enables it to accurately detect the skin area of faces and adjust exposure accordingly when shooting stills and movies. It can also maintain realistic colours under various light sources, from sunlight to theatre and stadium lighting, and produce more natural skin tones, sky and foliage colours.
Choose your Creative Look
The Creative Look setting offers greater creative flexibility with added simplicity. It provides ten presets that can be used just as they are or customised via eight adjustable parameters to suit the subject or scene, whether you're shootiyou'rells, movies or live-streaming. You can easily set the mood before shooting so your images are ready to share immediately.

Precise compensation at the single-pixel level
Through enhanced design and control of critical parameters, the α6700 provides precise detection and control down to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor's 26.0sensor'sel5 resolution to produce images that capture all the finer details.
Selectable RAW file types and quality
In addition to compressed RAW capture, the α6700 supports lossless compressed RAW capture that provides efficient compression, allowing more high-quality images to be shot in continuous bursts. A new Light image quality selection that generates less data is supplied for JPEG and HEIF images.
Innovative AI processing
The α6700 has an innovative AI processing unit that significantly enhances its performance, including more accurate recognition for a broader range of subjects.
Human pose estimation
The α6700 uses subject form data to recognise movement, improving human eye recognition. It also employs learned human forms and postures to precisely recognise body and head positions, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or with their face partly obscured by a helmet or sunglasses.
Wider subject recognition
In addition to humans and animals, the α6700 now recognises birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes7, providing even greater flexibility and reliability when shooting stills and movies. Heads and bodies are recognised in addition to eyes (Real-time Eye AF) for the Human and Animal settings and now for the Bird setting, with animal recognition performance more than 40%8 higher than that of the α6600.
Smarter Real-time Tracking
The upgraded and more reliable AI-based Real-time Tracking simplifies shooting in a broader range of situations, leaving you free to concentrate on framing and composition. The α6700 can even track people wearing helmets or animals facing away from the camera.10
4K movie recording for stunning quality
The α6700 captures 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) at up to 60p (50p) using Sony'Sony'srietary 6K oversampling technology. Compressing this expanded detail into the output achieves 4K video quality with outstanding definition, even at higher frame rates. The camera also supports high-quality XAVC S-I (All-Intra) and XAVC HS formats with 10-bit 4:2:2 colour sampling.
High frame rate 4K 120p (100p) recording
High frame rate recording at up to 120p for 4K QFHD (3840 x 2160) output makes it possible to capture high-resolution movies on camera. This expands creative possibilities in post-production by allowing subject motion to be emphasised or transformed into smooth, slow motion. S&Q mode18 also enables the recording of slow or quick-motion sequences in the camera from the outset.
Expressive S-Cinetone™
Incorporating the exact colour science as the highly regarded CineAlta and Cinema Line, the α6700 includes SonySony's picture profile as a preset, delivering images with more faithful colour reproduction and natural skin tones.
S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops19 of latitude
The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-grey (18% grey), achieving up to 14+ stops19 of latitude for flexible and creative colour editing.
Real-time Tracking for movies
AI-based Real-time Tracking provides a dramatic improvement in Real-time Tracking performance, automatically recognising, tracking, and focusing on the eyes of a specified subject.20 In addition to using the Touch Tracking function to initiate Tracking, a custom button can temporarily track a selected subject regardless of the subject and the focus area setting.
Active Mode for enhanced movie image stabilisation21
Active Mode 21 provides robust image stabilisation for handheld movie shooting. The α6700 can accurately measure camera shake, which is then precisely compted optically, providing highly effective stabilisation without sacrificing mobility, even when shooting 4K22.
