Sony A6700 + 18-110mm f4

Sony A6700+18-110mm

A compact synthesis of the innovations of SONY's Cinema line, the still-image rendering quality of the α series, and advances in AI-based recognition technology, the a6700 mirrorless camera puts powerful and versatile imaging capabilities in the hands of ambitious content creators. Powered by its combination of the latest 26.0MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, the camera weighs less than its predecessor, resulting in a mobile workhorse capable of capturing continuous 11fps stills without effort or stress. Free UHD 4K video oversampled from 6K resolution, making it a formidable multi-tool for multi-script creativity.

26 MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor
The a6700 SONY 's advanced imaging system is powered by the 26MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, a combination introduced in the FX30 digital cinema camera that is capable of generating 10-bit 4K UHD images at up to 120fps or maximum. 11fps continuous shooting speed with AF and AE and up to 59 raw stills compressed in bursts. The introduction of the backlit structure on the camera sensor gives it higher resolution without sacrificing sensitivity. With an ISO range of 100-32000 that can be expanded to ISO50-102400 when taking pictures, the camera offers low-light performance with minimal noise and more than 14 stops of dynamic range.

UHD 4K cinematic video

Along with its powerful sensor and processor, the SONY a6700 offers a robust set of professional video features from its Cinema Line series for everyday content creators and aspiring filmmakers.

• The full pixel readout of the 6K sensor creates high-quality UHD 4K video, with about 2.4 times the data needed for 4K video, minimizing moiré and aliasing.
• UHD 4K recording is possible with frame rates up to 120p and Full HD recording up to 240p, using a full 1:1 pixel readout without binning.
• Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 with advanced XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats for consistent performance and quality at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.
• Record for more than two hours in 4K 30p or more than 40 minutes in 4K 60p on a 128GB card.
• Slow & Fast (S&Q) mode allows photographers to capture 4K video in specific steps between 1 and 120 fps and Full HD between 1 and 240 fps, depending on the format. These settings will allow you to slow down the action and speed up a slow-moving scene.
• S-Cinetone can be used to deliver distinctive colours and healthy-looking skin tone reproduction that is based on the technology of professional Cinema Line cameras, such as the VENICE. This colour profile offers natural midtones, soft colours and particularly well-controlled highlights.
• The S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine gamma curves allow for more than 14 stops of dynamic range and greater post-production flexibility, including video matching from other cameras SONY Cinema Line.
• Creative Aspects can be integrated into the recorded footage to create a specific mood during recording and minimize the need for editing.
• User-created LUTs and presets can be configured to accurately monitor footage or preview a specific aspect during shooting and can be applied to the camera monitor, EVF, or HDMI output.
• The camera supports instant time-lapse settings with frame rate, recording, light, and interval customization.

AI-powered image stabilization and autofocus
The SONY a6700's AI processing unit brings a number of enhanced capabilities to the camera's image stabilization and autofocus systems, ensuring smooth handling and clarity no matter the shooting conditions. The camera's 759 phase-detection points in still-image mode and 495 points in video mode, covering 93% of the image area, are enhanced with AI-powered subject recognition performance and real-time tracking. Other autofocus features include focus bracketing on up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, low-light focusing accuracy up to EV -3.0, focus breathing compensation, autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peak during autofocus.

AI-enhanced framing compatible with vlogging
In addition, the AI Processing Unit recognizes and tracks subjects when a video is recorded, automatically cropping seamlessly to keep the subject in a prominent position in the frame and making camera work easier that would otherwise be difficult. This tracking can be custom placed within the frame and adjusted for speed and sensitivity, all with the touch of a finger.

Features of the SONY 18-110mm f4 G OSS lens

With a wide focal length range and a constant f/4 aperture in a compact form factor, the SONY E PZ 18-110mm f/4 G OSS lens offers videographers and filmmakers a versatile choice of lenses for light operations. While the lens may look small, it has professional features to back it up. The focal length range of 18-110 m ranges from moderately wide to narrow angles of view. SONY 's built-in smooth-motion optics take advantage of the lens's internal mechanics to minimize focus breathing, focus shifting, and other anomalies that would otherwise be noticeable when adjusting the lens during recording.
The lens body has separate focus, zoom, and iris rings for full manual control. Simply pull the focus ring back and manual focus will be activated full-time. The focus ring itself has a built-in cinema-standard gear for tracking-focus compatibility. The zoom functionality can be operated both manually and electronically. The zoom ring is mechanically attached to the lens, so shock zooms can be achieved without delay. The iris operation can be done automatically, or by rotating the iris ring. By disabling the iris click switch, manual iris adjustments can be made without any problems.
For smaller, less robust cameras, a quick-release tripod stand is included. The foot is secured towards the back of the lens for tripod use. Alternatively, a conventional lens holder can be placed near the front of the lens for compatibility with rod-based lens holders. The filter thread will accept 95mm diameter round filters and the lens cap included. A lens hood is also included to minimize flare. The closed hood design can be closed when the camera is not in use.

• Smooth-motion optics

Sony's SMO (Smooth Motion Optics) design and construction minimize optical shifts that can have a negative impact on image quality. Breath focus is minimized by an internal focus mechanism, focus shifting, while zoom is eliminated by fine-tuning focus tracking, and axial shift is minimized by a constant length design.

• Versatile zoom control

In addition to a smooth servo zoom, the mechanical manual zoom ensures precise control with immediate response. The desired viewing angle can be precisely achieved while avoiding over- or under-pumping due to lag. The direction of the zoom ring can be easily changed as needed, smooth and slow zoom is supported, and an internal zoom mechanism means that the length of the lens remains constant, regardless of focal length.

• Professional Focus Features

The focus ring slides back to quickly activate manual focus. The cinema-standard MOD 0.8 gear teeth are integrated into the focus ring, allowing the use of standard focus tracks without requiring cumbersome focus gear attachments.

• Compact design

The lightweight form factor of this lens contributes to the kind of mobility that active movie shooting demands. Small size and low weight can be advantageous when using gimbals and other types of support as well.

• Optical SteadyShot

Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization helps keep recorded images steady and without excess blur in a wide range of handheld or locked shooting conditions involving camera shake.

• Weather resistance

The dust and moisture-resistant design provides additional protection and ensures reliable operation in harsh environments and harsh weather conditions. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions.
