Overview

Capture your world, share your vision
Capture special moments and portraits to remember and share. With stunning image quality and speed powered by technology from our full-frame models, the α6100 allows you to focus on your subject while the camera handles the hard work. As a result, you’ll never miss a moment.

Persistent tracking at high speed:

Real-time Tracking Follow your subject with reliable precision
Keeping active subjects in constant, steady focus is crucial for capturing every important moment, whether you’re covering a sporting event or documenting everyday life.

Thanks to Sony’s sophisticated AI-based subject-tracking algorithms, the camera processes massive volumes of spatial data at high speed and in real time. You can trust the α6100 to follow your subject with exceptional precision.

Real-time Eye AF for human subjects
Real-time Eye AF tracks eyes continuously when shooting portraits in motion. You can prioritize either the left or right eye, and the system works even when the face is partially hidden, backlit, or facing downwards.

Real-time Eye AF for animals
Sony has adapted its innovative eye-detection algorithms to work with both humans and animals. This provides you with sharply focused pet portraits and beautiful wildlife shots.

Autofocus you can rely on Wide AF area, super-fast acquisition speed, and persistent tracking
The camera features a wide AF area with 425 phase-detection points and 425 contrast-detection points, improving detection accuracy significantly. With the latest-generation processing engine, the α6100 achieves an impressive 0.02-second AF acquisition speed.

Additionally, advanced algorithms predict your subject’s future location, making tracking even more reliable.

Fast continuous shooting at up to 11 frames per second, with AF/AE
Impressive internal processing and high-capacity buffer memory enable continuous shooting at up to 11fps with after-view or 8fps for real-time preview. This results in minimal display lag, and you can capture up to 77 shots in JPEG format in one continuous burst.

Silent continuous shooting at up to 8fps
Silent shooting is perfect for situations where noise would be distracting, such as live performances or animal portraits. The α6100 allows you to shoot continuously without shutter noise at up to 8fps, even with AF/AE tracking in AF-C mode, and with Real-time Eye AF or Real-time Tracking.

Uncompromising image quality:

Superior image resolution and natural-looking textures
The APS-C sensor incorporates copper wiring, enhancing light collection efficiency for better image resolution and natural-looking textures. This, in combination with the latest-generation image processing engine, ensures you capture high-quality images.

Cleaner images in dimly lit settings
Improved noise suppression delivers cleaner images in low-light settings where high-sensitivity shooting is required. The camera’s native ISO sensitivity reaches a maximum ISO 32000, with expanded ISO sensitivity up to ISO 51200 for stills.

The noise reduction system works especially well in the frequently used medium-to-high sensitivity range.

Lifelike skin tones
The skin tone feature inherited from Sony’s highly acclaimed full-frame cameras captures the natural beauty of human skin tones, ensuring your portraits look their best.

Realistic colour reproduction
The camera’s improved colour reproduction matches real-life colours more closely. This results in vibrant, true-to-life colours, especially in flowers and similar objects, and reduces jaggies and false colours.

Expressive movie-making for anyone:

Fast Hybrid AF for movies
The combination of phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF ensures high speed, accuracy, and tracking performance, meeting the stringent autofocus demands of 4K movies. The focal plane phase-detection system works more effectively, providing stable AF, while the contrast-detection AF system contributes to overall accuracy. As a result, the camera maintains smooth, steady focus even when objects cross in front of your subject.

High-resolution 4K movie recording
The camera’s full pixel readout, with no pixel binning, processes approximately 2.4 times more information than required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) recording. This results in movies with extraordinary detail, depth, and realism.

Touch tracking for movies
You can activate the camera’s Touch Tracking feature with a simple tap on the display screen, providing smooth, continuous focus tracking of your subject.

Expand your movie-making options
The camera allows you to directly record movies in slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x), without requiring PC post-processing.

External mic input for high-quality audio
Equipped with an external microphone jack, the α6100 provides greater audio options, perfect for serious movie shooting and high-quality vlogging.

Choose your own shooting style:

Self-framing made easy
Thanks to the camera’s LCD monitor, which tilts upward through a full 180 degrees, framing yourself for vlog recording and selfies becomes a breeze.

Flexible low-angle shooting
The monitor tilts upward by 180° and downward by 74°, making it easier to frame your subject when shooting from low or high angles.

Convenient Touch Tracking and Touch Focus features
Once you activate Touch Tracking from the menu, simply touch the monitor to select your subject. The camera will automatically track the subject, whether you’re shooting stills or movies. Likewise, the Touch Focus feature makes it easy to adjust focus—just touch the appropriate point on the monitor.

Flexible, personalized control settings
You can customize the α6100 by assigning up to eight of its buttons to any of 89 shooting and playback operations, ensuring maximum convenience.

My Menu feature for quick access
The My Menu feature lets you register up to 30 different menu items, giving you quick access to the operations you use most frequently.

User-interface customization
The custom settings screen displays the positions of control keys and buttons, allowing you to confirm function assignments at a glance. You can also view function menu options while customizing the function menu for easier setup.
