Video formats

The camera is using in-house developed AVC Video Format called XAVC. The format is a compressed format achieving balanced quality and file size. Recording in colour depth of 10-bits and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling is possible with the XAVC codec.

  • All Intra-frame system that compresses each frame individually to achieve the best quality.
  • When recording 4K movies in the XAVC HS format it is optional to be using a HEVC codec (H.265) which has higher compression efficiency.
    • The camera can record movies with higher image quality than XAVC S movies but with the same data volume.
  • The camera can record in "Long GOP" codec (H.264) compression which compresses multiple frames to reduce file size.

Sony E-mount APS-C (E) lenses are compatible with the α6700.[2]
