α7C II
Compact Size,
Versatile Full-frame Power
Big vision wherever you go
Full-frame CMOS image sensor with 33.0 effective megapixels
Delivering outstanding performance and excellent image quality for both stills and movies, the α7C II's new 33.0 megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor provides high-speed readout, high sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 51200, low noise, and highly accurate colour reproduction.
Advanced BIONZ XR™ engine
The advanced BIONZ XR processing engine delivers up to eight times more processing power than its predecessor. It minimises processing latency while boosting movie and still image processing power, achieving natural gradations, realistic colour, low noise, superior image quality and fast menu response.
Consistently accurate exposure and colour
Employing the latest processing engine combined with an advanced AE algorithm, the α7C II can detect the skin area of faces and adjust exposure accordingly for both stills and movies. It achieves consistent exposure control even in challenging shooting conditions when the subject is backlit, in shadows or direct sunlight, or not directly facing the camera.
Advanced optical 5-axis image stabilisation
Enjoy even more stable handheld shooting for stills, thanks to the α7C II’s high-precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimised image stabilisation algorithms that effectively correct 7.0-steps of camera shake. Compatible lenses with built-in image stabilisation combine with improved synchronisation between the body and lens to make framing easier even at telephoto focal lengths that can otherwise cause a large amount of blur.
High performance movie making
The technology to bring your creative vision to life
Enjoy high-quality movie recording capabilities no matter when or where you're shooting. The α7C II offers 4K 60p/50p movie capture, S-Cinetone™ for a cinematic look straight out of the camera, and Log shooting for flexible post-processing, all within a remarkably compact, lightweight body that's compatible with gimbal or drone-mounted shooting.
Outstanding 4K movie recording up to 60p/50p
The α7C II offers 4K 60p/50p movie capture with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, taking advantage of the latest BIONZ XR processing engine and its wide dynamic range to produce exceptionally smooth images of fast-moving subjects. When recording 4K movies at 30p, full-frame 7K oversampling delivers 4K with enhanced clarity and detail.
S-Cinetone™ to easily create a cinematic look
Utilising the same colour science from Sony's highly regarded Cinema Line, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin tones, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights.
Advanced movie recording for simpler post-production
In-camera 10-bit 4:2:2 recording is available when using Long GOP or All-Intra compression, making it possible to colour grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom.
Log recording for powerful creative possibilities
The α7C II boasts an S-Log3 gamma curve that emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-grey (18% grey), achieving 14+ stops of latitude. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine colour gamut settings are also provided. You can apply a custom LUT (Look Up Table) with a Log gamma curve to preview how the footage will look in post-production or to even record footage conveniently with a PP LUT already applied.
Active Mode image stabilisation supports handheld movie shooting
Active Mode provides enhanced image stabilisation for handheld shooting. A precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and an optimised image stabilisation algorithm work together for exceedingly smooth, stable movie footage. In addition to this in-body stabilisation, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilisation coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, enabling handheld telephoto shots with greater clarity.
Metadata facilitates editing workflow
Metadata embedded in recorded footage can be used by Sony's Catalyst Browse/Prepare/Prepare Plugin software, significantly speeding up post-production. Shot marks can be easily added to clips during or after recording to mark favorite scenes, allowing you to quickly locate them during playback in the camera or editing with compatible software.
Reliable recognition of a wider range of subjects
The α7C II features a powerful AI processing unit, capable of human, animal, bird, insect, car/train and airplane recognition. Animal recognition now recognises the eyes of some grazing and small animals, in addition to the eyes and heads of dogs, cats and similarly featured animals. It can even recognise these animals when their eyes are obscured from view. The camera also comes with bird recognition, enabling it to pinpoint the eyes of a variety of bird types as well as recognising birds' heads and bodies.
Designed for ease of use
Stable grip for handheld shooting
The α7C II is designed to give you a secure, stable and comfortable hold. Or attach a newly-developed removable grip extension (sold separately) for maximum comfort and minimum fatigue during long shooting sessions.
Smooth and simple operation
The α7C II features a new Still/Movie/S&Q dial, allowing fast, independent selection. It's conveniently located next to the mode dial, which can then be used to easily select the exposure mode and other key settings for each shooting mode.
Vari-angle monitor for framing flexibility
A side-opening vari-angle monitor provides easier positioning and framing freedom for handheld and gimbal-mounted shooting, or for very low ground-level shots, giving you a wealth of creative options.
Image sensor anti-dust system
The camera is equipped with an anti-dust system through a charge protection coating on its optical filter and an image sensor shift mechanism. There's also a [Shutter When Power Off] function that closes the shutter when the camera's power is turned off, protecting the image sensor from dust and particles while changing lenses.
Durable magnesium alloy chassis
Built for reliability in professional working environments, the α7C II is protected by a lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy used for the top cover, front cover and rear cover.
Dust and moisture-resistant design
The α7C II is well sealed at critical buttons and dials, and interlocking body seams add double protection, providing excellent resistance to dust and moisture in challenging outdoor conditions.
