OM SYSTEM OM-3 / Sony α6700 (ILCE-6700)

Dates from the manufacturer’s North America press release.

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor: the circuitry sits behind the light-gathering surface, so more light reaches the pixels. Video uses up to about 19.9 MP of the sensor.

CIPA 2024. Body figure with 12–45 mm f/4 PRO at 45 mm; Sync IS figure with 12–100 mm f/4 IS PRO at 100 mm, half-press IS off. Not a guarantee for every shot.

Hybrid AF combines phase detection with contrast detection. The recognition function finds and tracks the selected subject type in the frame; the user chooses the subject type manually.

Magnification with a 50 mm lens at infinity, −1 dioptre; depends on the selected viewfinder style.

Slow shutter speeds and flash cannot be used. The compatible-lens list for 50 fps is limited.

Not available while connected to a smartphone over Wi-Fi.

With H.265 selected, only OM-Log400 and HLG are available.

Available rates depend on codec and frame rate.

Manufacturer’s own test condition.

In RAW output the camera does not record to the card.

4K/C4K, ALL-Intra and 100 fps or faster recording require a UHS speed class 3 card or better.

A UHS-II card helps with high-bitrate video and clears the buffer faster after long bursts. There is no second slot for backup recording.

Wired remote control is not supported.

The battery can be charged inside the camera over USB.

Approximate values measured with a KIOXIA 64 GB UHS-II card.

Powering needs a USB PD source rated at 27 W or more (9 V 3 A, 15 V 2 A or 15 V 3 A).

IP53 needs a compatible splash- and dust-proof lens; not applicable while charging or with HDMI connected.

The 5-stop figure is pitch/yaw correction measured by Sony to the CIPA standard with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; it varies by lens and focal length. In video, Active mode crops the image slightly for stronger stabilisation.

The buffer figure is the approximate number of frames the camera can shoot in a row before waiting to write to the card.

The side-opening screen can be turned to face forward so the user can see themselves when shooting selfies and vlogs.

10-bit 4:2:2 recording keeps more tonal information for colour grading. XAVC S-I compresses each frame separately for easier editing, but files are very large. Four-channel audio requires a compatible Multi Interface Shoe microphone.

Over USB-C the camera can draw power and charge its battery with USB Power Delivery; it can also connect to a computer as a webcam over USB.

Bluetooth is used for sharing location from a phone and for remote control.
