The α6500 oers internal 4K recording

in Super 35mm format with full pixel readout, no pixel
binning and 2.4x oversampling

for the ultimate movie quality. By collecting 20 megapixels (6K
equivalent) of information from the full width of the sensor, which is approximately 2.4x as many
pixels as 4K, the α6300 then oversamples the information to produce high quality 4K footage
with exceptional detail and depth. Additional professional video features include; S-Gamut3/S-
Log3 and Gamma Display Assist, the ability to record Full HD at 120 fps for 4x or 5x slow motion

, both a mic jack and XLR compatibility via the MI shoe, enhanced Zebra functionality,
focus peaking, picture prole settings, as well as Time Code / User Bit, clean HDMI output and
much more.
First 5-axis in-body image stabilization in an E-mount camera
For the rst time, the 5-axis SteadyShot™ INSIDE image stabilization system is used in an APS-C
E-mount camera while maintaining a compact lightweight body. It accurately compensates
for blur caused by camera shake – for up to 5-stops
12
- from ve dierent directions: vertical,
horizontal, pitch, yaw and roll. This means that any lens attached to the α6500 will benet from
images stabilization, whether the lens has its own image stabilization or not. The 5-axis image
stabilizing system excels during video recording and even compensates for blur caused by the
photographer walking or running. You can even monitor the stabilizing eects of camera shake
compensation in the viewnder or LCD screen while shooting by pressing the shutter button
halfway or magnifying the image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode.
Ultra-fast OLED w/ EVF benets and optical viewnder immediacy
The 2.36 million-dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewnder has the ability to deliver
continuous live shooting at up to 8 fps with AF/AE tracking - making it easy to track fast moving
subjects - thanks to overall improvements in the EVF algorithm. This oers photographers a
shooting experience with the immediacy of an optical viewnder, while still oering all of the
benets of an electronic viewnder including a live preview of exposure, white balance and
several other camera settings. This continuous live view shooting can be set in 3 stages to match
a variety of subjects: 8 fps, 6 fps and 4 fps.
Fast Hybrid AF for movies
Simultaneous readout of live-view image and phase-detection AF information from the image
sensor makes the extra-precise, smooth Fast Hybrid AF of the α6500 great for shooting movies —
especially 4K movies
3
which can otherwise reveal even a slight lack of sharpness in subject focus.
AF drive speed and AF Tracking Sensitivity are also adjustable to support creative moviemaking.

Professional rugged body and durable shutter mechanism
Designed for solid reliability and steady handling, the α6500’s compact body is built to withstand
the rigors of shooting in the eld, thanks to an internal structure of the strong and rigid magnesium
alloy body. Sealing around the main buttons, dials, ports and doors are dust and moisture
resistant

with a double-layered structure that enhances sealing eectiveness at all camera body
openings including the media compartment and terminal area. The highly durable and reliable
shutter unit has been proven to endure approximately 200,000 shutter releases

which ensure
long-lasting shooting performance that takes into consideration the high-speed continuous
shooting capabilities up to 11fps and the large number of photos shot by enthusiasts.
