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 6600 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, eectively 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, animals and movie
Advanced “Real-time Eye AF6” employs articial intelligence 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, animals and when recording movie6. 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 (Articial 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 specied 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 animal eyes6. 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.
Real-time Eye AF for movies
The Alpha 6600 debuts Real-time Eye AF for movie shooting6 in an APS-C camera. When
activated, human eyes are automatically identied and precisely tracked with high precision
and reliability, allowing the shooter to focus on the content itself as opposed to what is in focus
or not. The same Touch Tracking functionality that is provided for stills is also available for movie
shooting, easily initiating Real-time Eye AF tracking on a specied eye. Right/le eye selection is
available for movies too.

5-axis in-body image stabilization
5-axis SteadyShot™ INSIDE image stabilization system is used in this APS-C E-mount camera while
maintaining a compact lightweight body. It accurately compensates for blur caused by camera
shake – for up to 5-stops9 - from ve dierent directions: vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw and
roll. This means that any lens attached to the Alpha 6600 will benet from images stabilization,
whether the lens has its own image stabilization or not. The 5-axis image stabilizing system excels
during video recording and even compensates for blur caused by the photographer walking
or running. You can even monitor the stabilizing eects of camera shake compensation in the
viewnder or LCD screen while shooting by pressing the shutter button halfway or magnifying the
image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode.
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 6600 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
