Sony ILCE6100L Specifications

ILCE-6100L/B

Alpha 6100 APS-C Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens
Camera + 16-50mm Lens

The Alpha 6100 include a 24.2MP2 Exmor™ CMOS image
sensor, the latest BIONZ X™ image processor and a front­end LSI as implemented in Sony’s full-frame cameras,
which combine to deliver all-round enhancements in
image quality and performance across all areas of
photo and video capture.

Key Features

24.2MP2 and incredible image quality

The Alpha 6100 boasts an impressive APS-C image sensor with approximately 24.2 eective
megapixels, the latest BIONZ X™ image processing engine and the same front end LSI as used
on Sony’s acclaimed full-frame cameras to deliver outstanding image quality with rich detail
and true-to-life color reproduction. Area specic noise reduction results in low noise even at high
ISO which ranges from 100 – 32,000 (Expandable up to ISO – 51,200). The design signicantly
increases readout speed, enabling functionality including 11fps continuous shooting5, 4K
recording3 with full pixel readout without pixel binning and Full HD 120fps high-speed shooting.

Superior autofocus with 4D FOCUS™

The Alpha 6100 incorporates Sony’s unrivaled 4D FOCUS™ system for unsurpassed fast autofocus
(AF) acquisition time that can lock focus on even the fastest moving subject in as little as 0.02
seconds1. It also boasts an incredible 425 phase detection and 425 contrast detection AF points
that are densely positioned over 84% of the image area, eectively tracking subjects as they
move across the frame. Moreover, the Alpha 6600 takes full advantage of its enhanced fast
hybrid AF for movies in both HD and 4K3. Both AF detection accuracy and tracking performance
have been boosted.

Advanced Real-time Eye AF, humans and animals

Advanced “Real-time Eye AF6” employs (Ai) articial intelligence, including machine learning , to
detect and process eye data in real time, resulting in improved accuracy, speed and tracking
performance of Eye AF. Eye AF can be employed for humans, animals6 and when recording
movie. With a half press of the shutter button, the camera can automatically detect the eyes of
the subject and activate Eye AF in all autofocus modes. When in either AF-C or AF-A mode, eye
capture is continuously maintained. Additionally, the preferred eye (right or le) of your subject
can be selected as the focus point. Choices include Auto/Right Eye/Le Eye, and a Switch Right/
Le Eye function is assignable to a custom function or the touchscreen panel.

Real-time Tracking Autofocus

“Real-time Tracking” is a state-of-the-art feature that utilizes a special object recognition
algorithm that processes color, subject distance (depth), brightness (pattern) as spatial
information, plus AI (Articial Intelligence with machine learning) information including face and
eye location, ensuring that all subjects can be captured with extreme accuracy and precision.
This can be activated by a simple half press of the shutter button, or can be assigned to a
custom function as well. The subject to be tracked can also be specied by touching it on the
monitor when the Touch Tracking function is engaged.

Real-time Eye AF for animals

Advanced AI-based subject recognition technology now allows fast, precise, automatic
detection and tracking of animal6 eyes. This new capability can vastly increase success rates
when photographing animals in a variety of settings or pets at home. Real-time Eye AF animal
mode can be initiated either by pressing an assigned custom button or by half-pressing the
shutter button.

16-bit processing and 14-bit RAW output

Image sensor output is processed in 16-bit form by the front-end LSI and BIONZ X image
processing engine before being output as compressed or uncompressed 14-bit RAW les that
have smoother, more natural gradations for higher overall image quality. 14-bit RAW output is
available even when shooting in silent or continuous mode.

Up to 11fps5 at 24.2MP with AE/AF tracking

The Alpha 6100 has been designed to allow for high resolution, continuous shooting at high frame
rates. It features a front-end LSI that works with the image sensor, BIONZ X image processing
engine and a newly designed shutter mechanism with ‘braking feature’ to enable continuous
shooting at impressive speeds up to 11fps5 with continuous autofocus and auto-exposure tracking
at full 24.2MP resolution while utilizing the mechanical shutter, and up to 8 fps5 with full AF/AE
tracking while silent shooting.

4K movie3 w/ full pixel readout, no pixel binning

The Alpha 6100 oers internal 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) recording3 in Super 35mm format with full
pixel readout and no pixel binning at 2.4x oversampling4 (6K equivalent) for the ultimate 4K
footage with exceptional detail and depth. Additional the Alpha 6100 has the ability to record
Full HD at 120 fps for up to 5x slow motion HD video7 and a mic jack with XLR compatibility via the
MI shoe, focus peaking, clean HDMI output and much more.

Touch Tracking for movies

Touch Tracking is benecial for movie recording. Touch the subject to be tracked on the monitor,
and the Real-time Tracking function will then process color, pattern (brightness), distance
(depth), and face information to precisely and smoothly track the selected subject at the
specied sensitivity and speed. It is also possible to half-press the shutter button or press the AF
ON button while shooting to achieve fast focus (AF-S). This can be an advantage for weddings
or documentaries, where there is only one chance to capture a scene. In such cases the focus
area selected in advance is applied.

180-degree tiltable LCD touch screen for self-recording

The fully tiltable (180-degree), 3” (3.0-type) LCD ip screen with 921k-dots of high-resolution
allows for simple and eective sele-style shooting for both still image and video capture. Utilizing
this capability, vloggers will be able to check and monitor composition throughout their entire
creative process. The LCD screen is also equipped with touch functionality, with options for Touch
Pad, Touch Focus, Touch Shutter and new Touch Tracking which quickly activates “Real-time
Tracking” through the touch screen.

Wi-Fi®/NFC™/QR code for easy le transfer and remote control

Easily connect with NFC or QR code (for non-NFC devices) to smartphones or tablets with the
built-in Wi-Fi® and Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile™ application available for free on the Android™
and iOS platforms8. Control your camera or transfer les to your device for fast and easy sharing
without the need of a computer. It also supports Sony’s growing range of PlayMemories Camera
Apps™, which add a variety of creative capabilities to the camera. Then when you’re done, you

Make operation more intuitive, quick and easy. You can assign any of 89 functions to any of 8
custom buttons. Independent function sets can be assigned for stills, movies, and playback. “My
Dial” allows for frequently-used functions to be assigned to the control dial and control wheel.
The My Menu function allows up to 30 frequently-used menu items to be registered. They can be
re-ordered by frequency of use, and little-used items can be deleted, allowing the user to create
a menu that reects their usage patterns.

Interval Recording7 for time-lapse

Interval shooting7 (continuous shooting with a set interval) is possible to create time-lapse movies,
without requiring an app or external interferometer. Shooting interval can be set to anywhere
between 1 second and 60 seconds, and the number of shots to anywhere from 1 to 9999. AE
tracking sensitivity can be set to ”High”, “Mid” or “Low” during interval shooting to control your
exposure and silent shooting can be activated to reduce shutter vibration. To extend shooting
periods, a mobile battery can be used while the internal battery remains in the camera. Still
images shot can be edited into a time-lapse movie on a computer with the latest version of
Imaging Edge soware (Remote/Viewer/Edit) and PlayMemories Home.

Slow and quick motion

Slow and quick motion7 oers an almost endless variety of creative ways to express the passage
of time. Frame rates from 1 fps to 120fps (100fps) can be selected in eight steps for full HD up to
50 Mbps; 60x quick motion/5x slow in NTSC and 50x quick motion/4x slow in PAL.

4K movie transfer to smartphone
