Features
33.0 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
Delivering excellent image quality in both stills and movies, the α7C II’s 33.0 megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor marks a significant step-up from its predecessor. The enhanced AF performance and improved noise reduction are supported by an impressively wide 15-stop dynamic range.
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.
AI processing unit for advanced subject recognition
The α7C II is equipped with an AI processing unit that can handle significant amounts of data, enabling more accurate recognition of subjects and recognition of a wider range of subject types.
Consistently accurate exposure and colour
The new high-powered BIONZ XR processing engine wors with an advanced AE algorithm to detect the skin area of faces and adjust exposure accordingly for both stills and movies. This achieves consistent exposure control even in challenging shooting conditions when the subject is backlit, in shadow, over-illuminated in direct sunlight, or not directly facing the camera. It also produces more natural human skin tones and sky and foliage colours.
Realise your vision with Creative Look
Set the visual mood with Creative Look, which offers 10 customisable presets so you can capture the world the way you want. The presets can be used as they are or eight parameters can be adjusted, including contrast, saturation, and shadows, allowing you to create instantaneously shareable stills and movies in-camera without the need for post-production editing. Customised Creative Look settings can be stored as Custom Look selections for later recall and use.
Selectable RAW image sizes and quality
Lossless RAW image compression provides efficient compression for smaller file sizes with no loss in image quality, enabling the camera to shoot up to 27 frames in continuous bursts. There are three lossless-compression image sizes to suit any application, and a Light image quality selection that generates less data is provided for JPEG and HEIF images.
S-Cinetone™ for 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.
