24.3-Megapixel APS-C Image Sensor
Create images of astounding beauty that surpass your expectations with the Sony a6000’s newly developed 24.3- megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. The same size as most DSLRs, this sensor offers high sensitivity in dimly lit environments and strikingly attractive foreground and background defocusing. You’ll enjoy the increased light collecting efficiency of a gapless on-chip lens structure, extremely low noise throughout a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25600, and superb corner-to-corner image quality with lifelike color, supreme detail and smooth tonal gradations that reveal every nuance of your scene.
BIONZ X Image Processor
Astonishingly fast, Sony’s sophisticated BIONZ X image processor reproduces textures and details in real time as seen by the naked eye. The resulting images in the Sony Alpha a6000 mirrorless camera are remarkably realistic with especially rich tonal gradations and a natural three-dimensional appearance. Visual noise is nearly imperceptible thanks to further advanced area-specific noise reduction. Detail reproduction technology delivers more detailed textures while diffraction-reducing technology optimizes the performance of any lens you mount to enable advances such as finer details at small aperture settings.
179 AF Points
In addition to 25 higher-speed, the Sony Alpha a6000 mirrorless has higher-precision contrast-detection AF (Fast Intelligent AF) points, with an improved Fast Hybrid AF system features the world's fastest 179 extremely accurate phase-detection AF points that cover nearly the entire image area for superior auto focusing. They permit enhanced subject tracking plus the capture of fast-moving subjects anywhere on the screen, as well as improved scene recognition and subject size detection.
Full HD Movies
Press the MOVIE button on your Sony a6000 to start recording beautiful movies that are notable for their sharpness and lack of visual “noise” in your choice of 60p, 60i or 24p. New improved Fast Hybrid AF provides remarkably fast and accurate auto-focusing and tracking while shooting movies. You can also use P/A/S/M modes to achieve maximum control over how the image looks, and zoom with extra clarity, courtesy of Clear Image Zoom.
Stunning Low Light Photos
The Alpha a6000 mirrorless camera has a 20% higher sensitivity than the NEX-7 due to the newly developed Exmor APS HDCMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor, you get stunning detail in in low light from ISO range 100 – 25000. And for an additional burst of light, the α6000 mirrorless features a pop-up flash and a standard hot shoe for additional flash accessories.
