== Video formats ==
The camera is using in-house developed [[AVCHD|AVC Video Format]] called [[XAVC]]. The format is a [[Data compression|compressed format]] achieving balanced quality and file size. Recording in [[colour depth]] of [[10-bit H.264|10-bits]] and [[Chroma subsampling|4:2:2 chroma subsampling]] is possible with the XAVC codec.
* All Intra-frame system that compresses each [[Video frame|frame]] individually to achieve the [[Video quality|best quality]].
* When recording [[4K resolution|4K movies]] in the XAVC HS format it is optional to be using a [[High-Efficiency Video Coding|HEVC codec]] ([[H.265]]) which has [[Data compression|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.
==Lens compatibility==
[[Sony E-mount]] [[APS-C]] lenses are compatible with the α6700.<ref name=":0" />
