Persistent tracking at high speed

Follow your subject with reliable precision

Keeping active subjects in constant, steady focus is absolutely vital to capturing every important moment, whether you're covering a sporting event or documenting everyday life. Sony's sophisticated AI-based2 subject-tracking algorithms won't let you down, processing massive volumes of spatial data at high speed and in real time.

Real-time Eye AF for Humans

Real-time Eye AF provides continuous eye tracking when shooting portraits in motion. You can prioritize either the left or the right eye, and it works even when the face is partially hidden, backlit or facing downward.

Real-time Eye AF for Animals

Sony's innovative eye-detection algorithms have been adapted to animals as well as humans, to give you sharply focused pet portraits and beautiful wildlife shots.

Fast continuous shooting at up to 11 frames per second, with AF/AE

Impressively speedy internal processing and the high-capacity buffer memory mean you can fire off continuous shots at up to 11fps with after-view or 8fps for real-time preview, with minimal display lag. You can take around 77 shots in JPEG (Standard) format in one continuous burst.

Silent continuous shooting at up to 8fps

Silent shooting is helpful in situations where noise would be distracting, such as at live performances or when taking animal portraits. The α6100 can shoot continuously without shutter noise at up to 8fps with AF/AE tracking, even in AF-C mode, and with Real-time Eye AF or with Real-time Tracking.

Superior image resolution and natural-looking textures

The APS-C sensor uses copper wiring for better conductivity and enhanced circuit processing to help optimize light-collection efficiency. In conjunction with the latest-generation image processing engine, this enables better image resolution and natural-looking textures.

Cleaner images in dimly lit settings

Improved noise suppression produces cleaner images in dark settings where high-sensitivity shooting is required. The native ISO sensitivity reaches a maximum ISO 32000, with expanded ISO sensitivity up to ISO 51200 for stills. Noise reduction is particularly effective in the frequently used medium-to-high sensitivity range.

Lifelike skin tones

The skin tone feature inherited from our latest, highly acclaimed full-frame cameras captures the natural beauty of human skin tones, helping you take portraits that look their best.

Realistic colour reproduction

Natural-looking images with improved colour reproduction better match what you see in real life, with more vibrant colours of flowers and similar objects as well as suppression of jaggies and false colours.

High-resolution 4K movie recording

Full pixel readout, with no pixel binning, processes approximately 2.4 times8 as much information as is required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) recording, to produce movies with extraordinary detail, depth and realism.

Touch tracking for movies

The camera's Touch Tracking feature provides smooth, continuous focus tracking of your subject, and it can be activated with a simple touch of the display screen.

Expand your movie-making options

The camera can directly record movies in slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x), without the need for PC post-processing.

External mic input for high-quality audio

The α6100 is equipped with an external microphone jack, giving you greater options for audio, to suit serious movie shooting and high-quality vlogging.

Self-framing made easy

It's easy to frame yourself for vlog recording and selfie shots thanks to the camera's LCD monitor, which tilts upward through a full 180 degrees.

Flexible low-angle shooting

The monitor tilts upward by 180° and downward by 74°, letting you more easily frame up your subject when shooting from low or high angles.

Convenient Touch Tracking and Touch Focus features

Once you have set Touch Tracking in the menu you can select your subject simply by touching the monitor. Whether you're taking stills or movies, the camera will begin auto-tracking. The Touch Focus feature is also simple to use – just touch the appropriate point on the monitor to set the focus.

Benefits of using your Sony camera as a webcam

1. The camera can capture faces with natural colors under any environmental conditions, including low light and back lighting.
2. A large sensor can make the subject stand out with a blurred background.
3. Auto-focusing keeps track of vivid facial expressions with Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking. (* Only when the camera supports the relevant functions.)
4. Easy setup: Once you connect your camera to a PC with a USB cable, you only need to select the camera to be used in live streaming or video conference service.
