24.2MP of imaging innovation
The newly developed 24.2 MP (approx. eective) APS-C Exmor
®
CMOS sensor features copper
wiring and enhanced circuit processing that reduces the depth of the wiring layer to boost light
collection eciency. In conjunction with the BIONZ X
®
image processor and new front-end LSI, it
signicantly minimizes noise throughout a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200

. Additionally,
the front end LSI and highly conductive copper in the circuitry, accelerates readout speed to
support high speed shooting with minimal lag, 4K movie recording

with full pixel readout without
pixel binning, Full HD 120fps shooting and 14-bit RAW output for still images.
4D FOCUS™ w/ world’s fastest autofocus1 with world’s most
2
AF points
The α6500’s unrivaled 4D FOCUS™ system boasts the world’s fastest autofocus (AF) acquisition
time
1
that can lock focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds. It also has the world’s highest
number of focal plane phase detection AF points
2
- an incredible 425 - that are densely
positioned over 84% of the image area. Moreover, the α6500 can capture full resolution 24.2MP
images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking. The
α6500 takes full advantage of its enhanced fast hybrid AF for movies in both HD and 4K
3
.
Up to 11fps at 24.2MP with AE/AF tracking
The α6500 has been designed to allow for high resolution, continuous shooting at high frame
rates. The camera features a new front-end LSI that works with the image sensor, BIONZ X image
processing engine and a newly designed shutter mechanism with braking feature to enable
continuous shooting at impressive speeds up to 11fps with AF/AE tracking at full 24.2MP resolution.
The α6500 can also shoot continuously for up to 269 frames
6
, thanks to a large buer. These shots
can be viewed immediately aer shooting, even when in high-speed continuous shooting mode.
Touch AF for stills/video with touchpad operation when using EVF
The new touchscreen operation vastly enhances focus capabilities for intuitive and immediate
focus response. Simply select a focus point anywhere on the LCD for fast and accurate AF
response. When using the electronic viewnder, simply shi focus points by using the LCD as a
touchpad and dragging your nger to the desired subject point. Touching the LCD screen during
movie recording allows for smooth focus point shis.
Enhanced Focus features
The α6500 features a number of advanced autofocus functions for fast and accurate focus
acquisition and subject tracking. Eye AF automatically detects and tracks an eye of even
a moving subject (in AF-C mode), for more focusing accuracy, while Expand Flexible Spot
automatically uses AF points surrounding the selected point to support precise focus if the
selected AF point is not positioned on your subject directly. AF operation is available when
using Focus Magnier – a handy tool for enlarging your image on the LCD or viewnder for
manual and autofocus accuracy. The α6500 will focus exceptionally fast during movie shooting
thanks to its Fast Hybrid AF system and oers touch focusing capabilities while also oering
adjustable AF transition speed and AF tracking sensitivity. Additionally, the α6500 has the ability
to take advantage of all of the camera’s 425 phase detection AF points, focusing tracking and
accuracy when using A-mount lenses

with a mount adaptor like the Sony LA-EA3.
