Sony Introduces New 6300 Camera with Worlds Fastest Autofocus and 4K Video Recording
Sony today introduced the latest addition to its award winning line-up of mirrorless cams, the 6300. The cam boasts an unique 4D FOCUS system that can lock concentrate on a subject in as low as 0.05 seconds, the world's fastest AF acquisition time1. Furthermore, the 6300 has an incredible 425 phase detection AF points that are largely positioned over the entire image location-- the world's greatest number of AF points on any interchangeable lens camera2, and can shoot images at approximately 11 frames per 2nd with constant autofocus and direct exposure tracking.
The versatile 6300 electronic camera is geared up with a recently established 24.2 MP APS-C sized Exmor CMOS sensing unit that collaborates with a BIONZ X image processing engine to produce exceptional image quality throughout the entire ISO sensitivity variety ISO 100-- 51200.
The new 6300 can likewise shoot and tape-record high resolution 4K video with full pixel readout and no pixel binning in the popular Super 35mm format. The outstanding new mirrorless design also has the capability to support complete live-view continuous shooting on the Tru-Finder or LCD screen at approximately 8 frames per 2nd, ultimately producing a real-time shooting experience that integrates all the benefits of an electronic viewfinder with the immediacy of a through-the-lens optical viewfinder.
Unrivalled AF Performance
Sony's new 6300 electronic camera builds on the well-known 4D FOCUS efficiency of the 6000 design, making use of a Fast Hybrid AF system that combines high-speed stage detection AF with incredibly precise contrast AF and permits it to catch and lock on to moving topics in as low as 0.05 seconds1. The electronic camera's High-density Tracking AF technology positions 425 stage detection AF points over nearly the whole field of view, allowing it to precisely focus throughout a wide location-- even on small, fast things that other electronic cameras would fail to recognise.
In addition to the extensive AF protection, the 6300 debuts a brand-new high-density tracking AF innovation that considerably enhances subject detection and tracking efficiency. This new technology can quickly turn on a large number of AF points surrounding a topic-- around 7.5 times more density than the 6000-- and wisely adjust them in accordance with the subject's motion. This is an especially effective feature when utilized with high-speed 11 fps continuous shooting or the new 8 fps constant live-view mode, which offers 100 % accurate framing for quick moving subject on the LCD screen or viewfinder.
Of note is that the cam's 425 stage detection AF points, improved tracking and focus precision are all readily available on the 6300 when using A-mount lenses with a mount adaptor like the Sony LA-EA3. This is a very first for Sony E-mount interchangeable lens cameras with an APS-C sized sensing unit, as the only other electronic cameras to feature this ability are the full-frame 7R II and 7 II models.
Other improvements to the 6300 include quiet shooting capability, the ability to use AF in focus magnifier mode, broadened versatile spot AF, Eye AF in AF-C mode and more.
Effective 24.2 MP Exmor CMOS Sensor and BIONZ X Processor
In order to maximise efficiency and general electronic camera efficiency, the 6300 features a new 24.2 MP sensor that is a perfect match for its BIONZ X image processing engine.
The brand-new image sensing unit uses copper circuitry in its structure, which enhances light collection efficiency and substantially accelerates readout speed. The BIONZ X processor features an upgraded image processing algorithm designed to maximise the sensing unit's general capabilities. Together, the two vital parts collaborate to produce images with low noise and extraordinary resolution in level of sensitivity settings up to ISO 512003, in particular in the mid-to-high sensitivity range.
Ultimate 4K Resolution and Other Professional Video Capabilities
In another very first for non-full-frame Sony interchangeable lens cams, the brand-new 6300 offers internal 4K film recording in Super 35mm format. When shooting in 4K, the camera uses complete pixel readout without pixel binning to gather 20 megapixels of information-- approximately 2.4 x (6K equivalent) as lots of pixels as 4K UHD then oversamples the info to produce high quality video with exceptional information and depth.
The electronic camera utilises the XAVC S codec throughout video shooting, which tapes at a high bit rate of 100 Mbps7 throughout 4K recording and 50 Mbps throughout basic Full HD shooting, guaranteeing maximum information and clarity in both video formats. Additionally, the electronic camera will focus approximately twice as quick as its predecessor throughout film shooting thanks to its new and improved AF system. AF speed and AF tracking level of sensitivity are also adjustable for expanded creativity.
Other professional calibre video functions consist of the capability to tape-record Full HD at 120 fps at 100 Mbps, another first for interchangeable lens cameras with APS-C sized sensors. This mode enables footage to be examined and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow movie files in Full HD (24p or 30p) resolution with AF tracking. The brand-new 6300 also offers S-Log gamma recording for large vibrant range shooting-- and supports S-Gamut for a broader colour area. Both alternatives permit greater creativity for processing video post-production.
Included on the new cam is a microphone line input that accepts external microphones and also supports XLR input with Sony's XLR adapter kit as well as Gamma Display Assist, a new function that permits users to keep track of images or check focus when tape-recording S-Log motion pictures. The brand-new model has actually enhanced Zebra functionality for higher direct exposure control. Picture profile settings are offered, in addition to Time Code/ User Bit and much more.
Enhanced Operability and Ergonomics
The 6300 cam is geared up with a high contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder with approximately 2.4 million dots that offers remarkable corner-to-corner visibility. There is also a brand-new mode available for the viewfinder that permits screen of images at 120 fps, guaranteeing that action is shown efficiently with few afterimages, making subject tracking through the Tru-Finder easier than ever.
Aesthetically, the new 6300 electronic camera includes a very solid feel in hand thanks to its robust, magnesium alloy design. It can be customised to fit almost any shooting design or needs, with 9 customisable buttons that of 64 different functions can be designated to. The electronic camera adds a digital level gauge as well as updated dust and wetness resistance, a reinforced lens mount structure and a brand-new shutter release button and mode dial with enhanced operability and grip.
The new 6300 electronic camera is Wi-Fi and NFC compatible and totally functional with Sony's PlayMemories Mobile application available for Android and iOS platforms, as well as Sony's growing variety of PlayMemories Camera Apps , which add a variety of innovative abilities to the video camera. It also supports QR code for easy connection to non-NFC cellular phones.
The 6300 is readily available in selected Middle East nations.
