Description
With flawless autofocus, unshakable stability and intuitive touch screen control designed to fit in your palm, the α6500 is perfect wherever you can't miss the moment.
Expand your shooting range
Meet the α6500, the compact APS-C removable camera that gives you the power to shoot professional-looking photos and movies. Advanced Continuous Capture Buffer for up to 307 frames1, 5-axis Optical Image Stabilization, Sensor Control, Superfast AF, and High Density AF tracking technology extend the range of your shooting capabilities.
Capture every moment - the fastest AF speed in the world and the highest number of AF points, 4 react flawlessly in virtually any shooting situation.
World's highest number (425) of AF detection points
Wide coverage of AF detection points with phase detection
With the incredible AF 425 focal plane phase recognition densely positioned throughout the image area, this comprehensive coverage of AF points ensures that no object can escape its focus.
High density AF tracking technology
Extraordinary sequential shooting of fast-paced action
High-density AF tracking technology activates AF points that are tightly positioned around the subject to achieve extremely accurate and reliable detection and tracking of moving objects.
World's fastest (0.05 sec) AF speed
Fast hybrid AF for instant focusing
With the world's highest AF speed (0.05 sec), aided by the ultra-efficient BIONZ X ™ image processing system, you can instantly capture a fast-moving subject with extreme precision.
Advanced Continuous Capture Buffer
With extended continuous shooting capacity of α6500 up to 307 frames without slowing down (for about 36 seconds with AF / AE tracking) you will not miss the crucial moment.
Continuous shooting with minimal lag Live view
Capture moving subjects instantly with an optical viewfinder
Continuous live view with up to 8 fps slows down the display to an absolute minimum, so you can capture moving objects when they appear on an EVF or LCD, as if you had an optical viewfinder.
Counteracts for 5 types of camera shake
Effect of faster shutter speed with 5 stops2
A new, accurate gyro sensor for image stabilization with a 5-stop faster shutter speed effect. The camera's shake compensation system is effective for smoother, cleaner movies and still images.
Reduced camera shake, even with different lenses
5-axis stabilization works with the E-mount lens and other lenses
Get unparalleled shooting freedom with many of your favorite lenses. The short distance from the lens flange to the focal plane in the α6500 with E mount contributes to compatibility with a wide range of lenses.
Touchpad function
Slide your finger across the focus shift screen while viewing the viewfinder
With the touchpad feature, you can slide your finger across the LCD touch screen to move the focus point intuitively and easily from one area to another, even while viewing the viewfinder.
Instantly select the focus point by touch
Use only your finger to focus as you wish in the shot
Sensory focus makes it especially easy to adjust the focus quickly so you don't miss the opportunity to capture your chosen subject at a crucial time.
For more dynamic images
With the new front LSI, BIONZ X processes data from the Exmor CMOS image sensor for excellent texture, clarity and sharpness of low-noise images for still images and movies.
Advanced image processing system
The BIONZ X image processor enhances image texture and clarity, reducing noise and receiving important support from the new front LSI and image processing algorithm for the image sensor.
Sensing with an additional image sensor
Sensor with a thin conductive layer and a photodiode substrate that increases light collection efficiency, and copper conductor guarantees fast reading. This increases the sensitivity to ISO 51200 with reduced noise.

High quality 4K recording
Shoot and record 4K movies equivalent to 6K (20 MP) data in Super 35mm format internally. Intuitive touch focus and 5-axis image stabilization increase shooting freedom.
High 4K resolution
The Oversampling effect (about 2.4 x [equivalent to 6K] as much image data is in 4K) achieves high quality 4K movie resolution and realism.
Up to 5x slow motion cadence and up to 60x fast cadence can be recorded on the camera at a maximum of 50 Mbps in Full HD and then played back without post-production.
Robust, reliable integrity for smart and smooth work
Magnesium alloy body tested up to 200,000 shutter cycles and many more emphasize the overall strength, reliability and functionality of the camera.
Lens Sony SEL 18-105mm f / 4 E PZ G OSS
The Sony SEL 18-105mm f / 4 E PZ G OSS is designed for E-mount APS-C format cameras and offers a flexible 35mm equivalent 27-157.5mm zoom range and a constant f / 4 aperture. Two extra-low dispersion elements are included in the lens optical scheme and help reduce chromatic aberration, improve clarity and color neutrality, and three aspherical elements including one Advanced Aspherical (AA) element reduce monochromatic aberrations, coma effect , astigmatism, etc. The Sony SEL 18-105mm f / 4 E PZ G OSS is equipped with an Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilizer to reduce the effect of camera shake, especially at longer focal lengths.
6x G Lens Electromotor zoom for movies and stills
The G Lens lens for E-mount cameras provides still images or movies with 6x zoom flexibility. The maximum aperture is constant at F4 from 18mm wide-angle to 105mm average telephoto with excellent resolution and contrast. A lever and a ring on the cylinder allow the scaling speed to be freely adjusted as needed while maintaining a steady grip.
A lens for a variety of shooting needs
Whether you are shooting stills or movies, the zoom range and fine G Lens quality will be more than adequate for most shooting situations. You also get smooth scaling with electric drive.
Superb reproduction at any focal length
The sophisticated optical design, which features two elements of ED (extremely low dispersion) glass and three aspherical elements, offers enviable G Lens image quality across the entire zoom range.
Scaling technology inherited from professional equipment
Sony Handycam® technology is used in the SELP18105G to provide smooth, quiet zoom, perfect for shooting movies without changing the length of the lens.
Continuous variable speed zoom control
End-to-end zoom control makes smooth scaling possible while maintaining the camera's stable grip. A significant advantage in filmmaking.
Lens configuration
The flawless design of the Sony G Lens contributes to the graceful balance between high definition and beautiful background bokeh that can enhance the artist's vision.
Schematic of MTF
The MTF (Modulation Transmission Function) describes how well the lens can reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved with short distance lines.
