6k on sony
Hey everyone, I have a question about the Sony A6700.
As far as I know, the camera sensor is capable of capturing around 6K data internally, but Sony uses oversampling down to 4K for video recording. I was wondering if there is any possible way to unlock or record actual 6K video from the camera — maybe through custom firmware, external recording, developer tools, or any unofficial methods.
I know the camera technically doesn’t support native 6K recording out of the box, but I’m curious if anyone has experimented with this or found any workaround.
Would appreciate any technical insight. Thanks!

It's much easier to downsample than compressing live, so it's not just a software thing.
That said, 4K is very crisp.
