The Sony a6400 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens is Sony’s flagship APS-C mirrorless camera, pairing a 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor to deliver stunning image quality from ISO 100 all the way up to an expanded ISO 102400 — making it equally at home in bright daylight or challenging low-light scenes. Paired with the versatile 16-50mm power-zoom kit lens, this compact system is ideal for travel photographers, vloggers, and content creators across Egypt and beyond.
Built around Sony’s groundbreaking Real-Time Eye AF and Real-Time Tracking system backed by 425 phase- and contrast-detect AF points, the a6400 locks focus in as little as 0.02 seconds and never loses sight of your subject. Capture life’s fast-moving moments at up to 11 fps continuous shooting, record cinema-quality internal UHD 4K video with S-Log3 and HLG support, and review every shot on the 3.0-inch 180° tilting touchscreen — perfect for selfies, vlogging, and overhead shooting.

Frequently asked questions
What video formats and frame rates does the Sony a6400 support?
The Sony a6400 records internal UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps using the XAVC S codec at 100Mbps with 8-bit 4:2:0 color sampling. It also supports Full HD Slow & Quick (S&Q) mode from 1 to 120 fps for slow-motion and time-lapse effects, and offers professional log profiles including S-Log2, S-Log3, and HLG for wide dynamic range and flexible color grading.
How effective is the autofocus system on the Sony a6400 for photographing moving subjects?
The a6400 uses a 4D FOCUS hybrid system with 425 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection points covering nearly the entire sensor, achieving focus acquisition in as little as 0.02 seconds. Real-Time Eye AF tracks human and animal eyes in both AF-S and AF-C modes for stills and video, while Real-Time Tracking, Lock-on AF, and Expand Flexible Spot ensure subjects stay sharp even during fast movement.
What is the maximum ISO of the Sony a6400 and how does it handle low-light photography?
The Sony a6400 has a native ISO range of 100–32000, expandable up to ISO 102400 for extreme low-light situations. The APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor uses thin copper wiring and an enhanced front-end LSI to maximise light gathering and minimise noise, while the BIONZ X processor further refines image quality, ensuring usable results even in very dark environments.
