- Camera Model Family: Sony a6300
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: Exmor CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Still images: 1/4000 to 30 s, Bulb, Movies: 1/4000 to 1/4 (1/3 step) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: 3.5 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: 36 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 51200 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds, 2 seconds, 5 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Single shooting, Continuous shooting (Hi+/Hi/Mid/Lo selectable), Self-timer, Self-timer (Cont.), Bracketing (Cont., Single, White Balance, DRO) (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes.

Q: Do you have to have video in 4k? would rather video in 1080
A: Yes, the camera shoots 4K movies at 30 FPS, but you can choose a lower resolution (with a higher frame rate). Because it is mainly designed as a camera, it is not as good at shooting movies as a dedicated camcorder (at the same price). I have found that 4K movies show incredible detail when compared to 1080p movies and you can always downconvert with one of the programs that was included with the camera. I hope this was helpful.
A: Since this is your first time purchasing a mirrorless camera the simplest thing to do is to get the 16-50 kit lens. After experimenting around with it you can then decide whether to get a prime or zoom lens next. It all depends on your photography style.
Q: Whats the difference between a6000 and a6300 cameras
A: Basically the a6300 is a professional version of the a6000, most significantly it now features an updated crop sensor for better performance (Sony switched to using coper traces in the sensor for better dynamic range and improved low light performance, its not a hugely dramatic improvement over the previous sensor, but its a welcome upgrade, it also has far more autofocus points, so expect even better focusing than the a6000), and the ability to shoot 4K video. It also has a magnesium alloy body as opposed to the a6000's plastic body. Sony also chose to include the digital viewfinder from the A7, so it now has an almost full HD viewfinder. Basically, its a stopgap between the A7II and the a6000, though it has some stuff that the A7II lacks, like 4K video and faster autofocus.
Q: Can I use cannon lens with a6300 body if yes is a adapter needed?
A: Yes you can and yes you need an adapter
Q: for theSony - Alpha 6300 Mirrorless Camera with E PZ 16-50 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Lens
A: The 16-50mm lens that comes with the camera uses a 40.5mm filter.
A: I’d recommend a6300 like mine. I’m not a pro but better than a rookie. It’s perfect. My last Sony stayed relevant for a long time. Years!
Q: Can filters be attached to the lenses?
A: Hi Jenn, Yes. You can attach a filter to a Sony lens. -Anthony
Q: Does the Sony a6300 have the time lapse function?
A: No ,but you can install it separately and it will cost you around $10 Watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ghaWV1jqE

Its the best image quality you will get!
I got this camera for video and here are my pros and cons. Pros: 1. Amazing image quality, it seriously does downscale from 6K to 4K, very sharp and detailed. Almost too much for my 1440p screen. The video quality matches very close to the FS7 when using SLOG 3. That's amazing for the price. it also shoots at the super 35mm focal length which is also found in many cinema cameras such as the FS7. 2. SLOG 3, this camera has an SLOG 3 profile which means you will get cinema camera type dynamic range, 13-14 stops. I usually record in my room for YouTube videos and all of my lights are clearly visible and not blown out. 3. 1080p mode has some of the least amount of rolling shutter I have ever seen. Its almost as if its not even there. Especially when recording in 120FPS. I did a really fast pan from right to left and I couldn't notice and rolling shutter even when slowed down. Its almost global shutter like. Cons: 1. Rolling Shutter in 4K 24FPS is A LOT. When using 4K make sure to be in a somewhat controlled situation and not moving about too much. 2. Overheating is very present in my model in 4K, even when starting and stopping recording the overheating sign comes on. I was able to record 30 minutes of straight 4K and it shut off, then I had to wait for it too cool down. 3. This is my second a6300. The first one had a sensor problem where I was recording for 10 minutes and my whole screen turned into a purple haze color. This was also baked into the footage when I took it back to my computer. I recommend getting this camera for video if you are doing YouTube videos or are in controlled situations. But get the GH4 if you are doing professional run and gun paid videography work. Since it is more reliable.

The perfect mirrorless camera
I had a Sony Nex for many years, and upgraded to the a6300 and haven't been disappointed at all. Amazing image quality, great price, nearly all the functionality of the A7 series, but much easier on the wallet. Could use all my old lenses, but picked up some new ones as well. Very versatile, I have also, with adapters, used Canon, Minolta, and Olympus lenses on the camera with spectacular results. Shot the eclipse last with a Canon 400 mm FD lens. Could not be happier. And don't even get me started on the low light capabilities or 4K video.

A seamless introduction to mirrorless system.
I've had this camera for about 5 months now. I've used it to take photos of friends and families during birthdays, social events, and the holidays. I've used it for work to take professional looking photos and update our company website. I've also taken it with me on a hike to take photos of landscapes and anything else in between. I'm not by any means a professional, but I've taken it with me anywhere I could. If you don't really want to read further, I'll just simply say that it's an amazing piece of camera that's replaced my bigger Canon DSLR system. Although of course, it isn't without caveats. The most popular one is its battery life. A fully charged battery does not last very long. It's very unlikely that a single charged battery will get you through a day of shooting. I purchased 2 additional batteries or shoot while charging on an external battery. However, I believe this issue should be understandable. The size of this camera limits the battery size that can be used on this body. With all the technology packed into this body, I strongly believe that the battery life is pretty good. I have no problem compromising the battery life if it means that I can use this piece of technology to capture great photos. When it comes to ergonomics, I'm not a complete fan but I'm satisfied. The grip is a little small and I think the A6500 actually have it right. After purchasing the lens, I immediately installed a leather bottom half case cover and it bumped the grip a little - which is nice. Learning to navigate the Menu will also take some time getting used to if you're coming from a different camera system. With that said, the great things about this camera far outnumber its issues -- I mean, just look at the specs! The number of AF points is ridiculous for this price point. Paired with its Electronic View Finder, you're able to see what your image will look like before you take it! The EVF is easily one of the reasons why I will find it difficult to return to DSLR. ISO and dynamic range is excellent for this price and easily jumps ahead of its similarly priced DSLR counterparts. Especially since the a6300 is capable of recording 4K. Its low light capabilities is also very impressive. However, I do not have many experience with videogrpahy as it's not what I use this camera for. The a6300 will do what you want it to do if you pair it with the right lens and will do so with excellent results. Yes, it is an APS-C camera, but it is a very good one.
