Focus at the speed of sight
The evolution of 4D FOCUS accelerates
Without spectacular focus, you lose your edge. So raise
your sights, with Sony taking autofocus to new heights of
innovation. At the forefront of this progress is 4D FOCUS,
extending phase-detection AF point coverage, increas-
ing AF speed and incorporating High-density Tracking AF
Technology. With 4D FOCUS AF performance, it’s never
been easier to capture fleeting moments in stunningly
detailed sequences of images that leave the rest behind.

Eye AF
Eye AF mode automatically detects,
then focuses on and tracks focus on
a subject’s eye with pinpoint precision, even as the face moves. This
extends your freedom to focus and
frame a shot, even when shooting
with a fast lens with aperture fully
open (with shallow depth of field).
Eye AF also works in AF-C mode,
so even if the subject moves, the
wide coverage of the high-density
425-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor maintains focus on
the eye.

Live-view continuous shooting with minimal lag
High-speed continuous shooting is available at up to approx. 11fps (Hi+), and up to approx. 8fps (Hi) in live-view. In
live-view continuous shooting at up to 8fps, display lag on
the electronic viewfinder (EVF) or LCD screen is kept to an
absolute minimum, so you can capture moving subjects
just as if you are shooting using an optical viewfinder.

Focus Release/Balance
You can choose settings to optimize focus and release
action in ways that are most suitable for shooting each
scene. Priority setup (AF, Release or Balanced Emphasis)
is available in AF-S and AF-C modes. Also, you can ad-
just shutter release timing by choosing Release (shutter)
priority, AF (focus) priority or Balanced Emphasis setting,
to achieve a balance between Release and AF priorities.
AF in Focus Magnifier
You can use autofocus even while enlarging a selected
image area on the viewfinder or LCD screen, for finer
adjustment of focus, for example. This is excellent for
macro shooting, when accurate focusing is crucial.
Focal plane phase-detection AF for A-mount lenses
The cameras offer 425-focal-plane-phase-detection-AF
point coverage even with an A-mount lens mounted via
LA-EA3 (LA-EA1) mount adaptor*. So you can take full
advantage of speedy response and high performance
when shooting with an A-mount lens.

Expand Flexible Spot
When the selected AF point loses track of or is not positioned on a moving subject, Expand Flexible Spot
function automatically directs surrounding AF points to
restore focus instantly on that subject.
Faster internal processing and a higher-capacity buffer
memory now allow up to 307 shots (around 36 seconds)*
of high-speed continuous shooting. This increases the
chances of capturing more decisive moments.

Built-in stabilization, complete and compact Touchscreen for more intuitive, tactile focus
Immediate focus point selection by touch operation when shooting stills and movies
The Touch Focus function puts the power of more immediate, intuitive focus right at your fingertip. Simply touch
the area of the still/movie image on the LCD screen that
you want to focus on. There’s no need to lock autofocus
and adjust composition, or use Flexible Spot to shift
between areas of focus. When shooting stills with manual focus, you can double-tap the screen to enlarge the
desired area of focus on display.

image stabilization
The re-engineering of the brilliant
6000 series layout paved the way
for creation of the compact
6500 —
the APS-C camera with built-in 5-axis

sensor achieves stabilization to the
effect of shooting with 5-stops-faster* shutter speed. Compensation for
five types of image-blurring camera

that high-resolution recordings,
made even while zooming in on distant subjects, or shooting close-ups

Inside imaging innovation
24.2-megapixel APS-C ExmorTM CMOS sensor
An APS-C sensor with approximately 24.2 effective megapixels features copper wiring and enhanced
circuit processing that lower the
wiring layer and boost light collection efficiency. In conjunction with
the BIONZ X image processor, it
minimizes noise throughout a wide
sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200*.

circuitry significantly raises readout

New front-end LSI (large-scale integration) in the 6500
supports BIONZ X image processing power even further,
benefiting image quality.
14-bit digital signals that are converted from analog
signals in the image sensor undergo 16-bit processing
by the image processing system for 14-bit RAW image
output. This enriches tonal gradation for RAW recording.

various high-end microphones. That way, you can make
fine audio setting adjustments and high-quality/low-

Robust lens mount Dust and moisture resistance
The strength and rigidity of each camera body and lens mount provide an
especially solid foundation for mounting and withstanding rugged use
with even large, heavy lenses such
as super telephoto lenses and lenses
preferred for movie shooting.
Tough magnesium alloy body
With internal frames, rear cover, top cover and front cover constructed of
magnesium alloy, the robust, rigid, light bodies of the
6500 and 6300 are
stronger than those of their predecessors. Designed for solid reliability and
steady handling, these compact bodies readily withstand the rigors of shooting in the field.
Enjoy carefree shooting in tough en-
vironments, thanks to comprehensive
dust and moisture resistance measures that help prevent water and dust
from entering the body. These measures include sealing around the buttons and dials, as well as a protective
double-layered structure that tightly
interlocks panels and components.
Note: T hese cameras ar e designed for op timal dust and m oisture
resist ance, but are not wa terproof or spla shproof.
Enhanced grip for secure handling
Ergonomically refined grip contours let you grasp either of these cameras
and feel per fectly at ease and secure at handling any operation, even when a
large lens is mounted. The grip of the
6500 in par ticular is deeply recessed
for a hand to take an exceptionally firm, comfortable hold, regardless of
shooting position and conditions.

display at 120fps (100fps*), so you can
see smooth action and track it easily.

Expanded
custom function
The
6500 has ten customizable
buttons (and the
6300 has nine)
to which you can assign functions
for quicker, more intuitive shooting
and playback. 68 functions (and 64
for the
6300) are easily assignable
to the buttons for convenient access when shooting, although some
functions can only be assigned to
certain buttons.
Power supply via USB
Camera operation can be powered
via USB connection to mobile battery. This conserves the camera bat-
tery, extending the length of time
that the camera can be used before
the battery is depleted. When the
camera is turned off, the batter y
can be charged via the same connection.
Convenient tiltable LCD screen
The LCD screen tilts up approx.
90 degrees and down approx. 45
degrees to accommodate a wide
range of shooting angles. This flexibility complements the cameras’
compactness and mobility, and
expands shooting options. Views
are clear under direct sunlight,
thanks to the screen’s WhiteMagic
technology with a unique RGBW
pixel structure that nearly doubles
display brightness for easier checking of focus and image details.

the
6000 series, it’s easy to find, at
the top of the screen, the name of a

tabs. This allows quick access to desired menu items, for smooth changes
of settings even during shooting.
