Context. We present a photometric and astrometric catalog of 187963 starslocated in the field around the old super-metal-rich Galactic open cluster NGC6253. The total field-of-view covered by the catalog is 34' x 33'. In thisfield, we provide CCD BVRI photometry. For a smaller region close to thecluster's center, we also provide near-infrared JHK photometry. Aims. Weanalyze the properties of NGC 6253 by using our new photometric data andastrometric membership. Methods. In June 2004, we targeted the cluster during a10 day multi-site campaign, which involved the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope with itswide-field imager and the Anglo-Australian 3.9m telescope, equipped with theIRIS2 near-infrared imager. Archival CCD images of NGC 6253 were used to deriverelative proper motions and to calculate the cluster membership probabilities.Results. We have refined the cluster's fundamental parameters, deriving(V_0-M_v)=11.15, E(B - V)=0.15, E(V - I)=0.25, E(V - J)=0.50, and E(V -H)=0.55. The color excess ratios obtained using both the optical and nearinfrared colors indicate a normal reddening law in the direction of NGC 6253.The age of NGC 6253 at 3.5 Gyr, determined from our best-fitting isochroneappears to be slightly older than the previous estimates. Finally, we estimatedthe binary fraction among the cluster members to be \sim20%-30% and identified11 blue straggler candidates.
