Sony has introduced the latest addition to its line-up of mirrorless cameras – the ‘α6300’, during an exclusive event hosted by Miami celebrity iconic portrait photographer Brian Smith.

Sponsored by Sony the event entitled ‘Secrets to Great Portraits’, demonstrated to guests how to engage subjects and capture the essence of personality in a single portrait, said a statement from the company.

Smith shared the keys to creating thought-provoking conceptual images to lift portraits to the next level, it added.  

The α6300 boasts a 4D Focus system that can lock on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds via 425 phase-detection autofocus points that are densely positioned over the entire image area, it said.

The versatile camera is equipped with a newly developed 24.2 MP APS-C sized Exmor CMOS sensor that works together with a BIONZ X image processing engine to produce outstanding image quality throughout the entire ISO sensitivity range ISO 100 – 51200 .  

The new α6300 can also shoot and record high resolution 4K video with full pixel readout and no pixel binning in the popular Super 35mm format.

The new brand includes three E-mount full frame lenses including a 24-70mm constant F2.8 standard zoom, an 85mm F1.4 prime and a 70-200mm constant F2.8 telephoto zoom.

The α6300 with SELP1650 lens will be available in selected Middle East countries from March 2016, it said.
