The Sony Alpha 6700 uses the popular E-mount, which makes it compatible with both full-frame and APS-C Alpha lenses from Sony in general. The system uses a 26-megapixel APS-C type (23.3 x 15.5 mm), Exmor R CMOS sensor. The device uses a BIONZ XR imaging engine to deliver Fast Hybrid AF with a combination of phase and contrast detection, employing 759 AF points. The camera can now detect more subjects including humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aeroplanes. The device offers focus bracketing, capturing up to 299 images with sequentially shifting focus for you to stack with precision and create macro images with perfect depth of focus. The 16-50mm kit lens offers full-time direct manual focus (DMF), which lets you rotate the lens focus ring at any time to fine-tune focus.
The camera uses 1200-zone evaluative metering and offers sensitivity from ISO 100 to 32,000 without boost. The mechanical shutter offers shutter speeds from 30 to 1/4000 sec, and the camera offers image sensor-shift five-axis image stabilisation. Continuous drive offers up to 11 fps speed in Hi+ mode. You can shoot up to 143 frames continuously in JPEG Extra fine format in full size, and over 1000 frames in JPEG format with Fine compression. The device can shoot up to 44 continuous Raw and JPG frames simultaneously. The camera can record still images in HEIF format in addition to JPEG and Raw, while videos can be captured in XAVC S (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264), XAVC HS (MPEG-H HEVC/H.265) formats in up to 3840 x 2160, 119.88p (slow-motion).
