Sony Alpha ILCE 6400 + Samyang AF 18mm F2.8

Sony Alpha ILCE 6400

With the Sony Alpha 6400, there are no more limits to your creative ideas. The Alpha 6400 impresses with its high performance and advanced features such as AI-based AF with real-time eye detection, high-precision real-time tracking, high-speed continuous shooting, and 4K HDR (HLG) video recording.

The Sony Alpha 6400 impresses with its premium image quality, new autofocus, 4K video, and up to eleven continuous shooting frames per second.

425 phase-detection autofocus points.

The high focus point density covers about 84% of the image area, making subject acquisition easier.

Continuous AF/AE shooting at up to 11 frames per second

Fast internal processing and large buffer memory mean you won't miss a thing. Capture moments with minimal display lag at 11 fps in After View and 8 fps in Live View, and continuous shooting at up to 116 JPEG (standard) or 46 compressed RAW.

Quiet continuous shooting at up to 8 frames per second

When shooting requires absolute silence, shooting at up to 8 frames per second without any noise is possible - with AF/AE tracking enabled, even in AF-C mode, real-time eye-detection AF, or real-time tracking. This opens up new creative possibilities.

The newly introduced AI-based subject detection technology processes a wealth of data, enabling it to detect and track even fast-moving subjects.

Precise eye detection

Optimized AF with real-time eye detection reliably detects human faces and focuses precisely on the eyes - all without special settings simply by pressing the shutter button.

Continuous eye tracking

When AF-C is enabled, real-time eye-tracking AF reliably focuses on moving images - even when part of the face is obscured, backlit, or looking down.

Select the left or right eye of your subject

Select Left Eye, Right Eye, or Auto before shooting so you can focus on composition. Assign custom buttons to these options for quick switching during shooting.

Reliable focus with real-time tracking

Keeping subjects at sporting events and other moving images reliably in focus can determine whether you succeed in capturing an important, dramatic moment.

Focusing with new subject detection algorithm

A newly developed scene detection algorithm processes spatial color, distance (depth), pattern (brightness), and face and eye information in real time and at high speed.

Eye tracking and seamless transitions

The tracking system captures the entire body of a person in motion from a greater distance. The focus area seamlessly transitions between the face and eyes depending on subject conditions.

Simple touch tracking

When touch tracking is configured in the menu, you can select the subject simply by touching the monitor. The camera then automatically tracks the subject during both photo and movie shooting.

Thanks to the large sensor and advanced image processor, you can capture any subject ultra-sharp in natural colors, even in difficult lighting conditions.

24.2-megapixel sensor and optimized image processor

The APS-C sensor features copper wires and optimized circuit processing that improve light capture. Combined with the image processor, you get high image resolution and natural rendering of textures.

Sharp images even in low light

Noise reduction enables sharper images even when shooting at high sensitivity in the dark. The ISO base sensitivity has been increased to ISO 32000 (with an extended ISO sensitivity up to ISO 102400 for photo shooting). This allows you to achieve good results in the commonly used mid-to-high sensitivity range.

Natural-looking, realistic images

Image processing algorithms like those used in full-frame cameras now enable more natural-looking color reproduction. Skin tones and plant colors look more natural.

Full pixel readout without pixel binning, high-resolution 4K video recording, HDR (HLG), and S-Log/S-Gamut, as well as slow-motion and time-lapse shooting: The α6400 offers a wide range of features that expand your creative options when filming.

Time-lapse movies

The camera includes a newly introduced interval shooting function, which means continuous shooting with a break between 1 and 60 seconds between photo shots. This can be used to create time-lapse movies on a PC using the Viewer app, which is part of the Imaging EdgeTM desktop applications.

Practical Vlog functions

For vlog recording, the 180-degree swiveling LCD is useful for cropping the image. For audio, in addition to the jack for an external microphone, an optional XLR adapter (sold separately) can also be used, allowing the use of professional microphones for higher audio quality.

The 180-degree tilting 3.0-inch LC display not only shows the subject in front of you, but also makes a number of camera functions accessible at the same time via intuitive touch functions.

Seamless focus area selection via touchpad

The touchpad feature lets you move focus seamlessly while looking through the viewfinder. Simply drag your finger across the monitor to the point you want to focus.

Touch focus and touch shutter

Touch Focus lets you change the focus position simply by touching the monitor, even moving it to the edge of the frame. And with the touch shutter, you can focus and release with just one touch.

Activating real-time tracking via touch tracking

With touch tracking, you simply touch the monitor to activate real-time tracking for photo or video capture. The camera then immediately focuses on the subject permanently.

Samyang AF 18mm F2.8 FE for Sony E

Size innovation - surprisingly small with best quality
The Samyang 18mm F2.8 autofocus lens adds a super-wide angle to Samyang's popular "Tiny" series. It impresses with its compact and lightweight design in combination with excellent image quality.
