Some other notable autofocus features include:
- Focus bracketing in up to 299 images with sequentially-shifted focus points
- Focus accuracy in low light down to EV -3.0
- Focus breathing compensation
- Autofocus assist
- Focus mapping
- Focus peaking during autofocus
Vlog-Friendly AI-Enhanced Framing
In cases of otherwise difficult camera work, the AI Processing Unit recognises and tracks subjects when shooting video, it seamlessly auto-crops to keep the subject in the desired position in the frame.
Image Stabilization
The Sony a6700 Mirrorless Camera Body pixel-level 5-axis image stabilisation system is algorithmically optimised for precision detection and control down to a single pixel. This compensates for five different types of camera shake while shooting handheld stills and videos. The AI Processing Unit allows for improved communication between the camera body and lens, this allows for a more stable framing before shooting.
Advanced Rendering
4:2:0 and 4:2:2 options are available, led by the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format available in the Sony Alpha a6700. This offers a wide range of colour renderings and compressions, when shooting raw you can also choose between Compressed and Lossless Compressed. The AI Processing Unit also assist in achieving notable exposure results in Auto mode, and with algorithmic adjustments made for skin tone, backlit situations, and white balance
