Description

The α7R VI offers extraordinary resolution, image quality, and burst speed, thanks to advanced imaging technology refined by feedback from discerning creators. A full system upgrade pushes performance to unprecedented heights.

66.8 MP full-frame fully stacked CMOS Exmor RS™

The first in the α7R series to feature a fully stacked Exmor RS image sensor, the α7R VI delivers enhanced image quality with readout speeds up to 5.6x faster. Take your shooting to the next level with 30fps bursts at full resolution, 4K 60p without cropping, expanded dynamic range, and reliable low-light AF.

BIONZ XR2™ with integrated AI processing unit

The BIONZ XR2 engine with an integrated AI processing unit delivers dramatic improvements in image and sound quality, power management, and responsiveness. High-speed processing enables up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second, blackout-free shooting, and 8K video, while the integrated AI processing unit enhances subject recognition and illumination estimation for unprecedented shooting support.

Expansive creative potential

The fully stacked Exmor RS image sensor delivers class-leading 66.8 MP resolution and superb image quality for landscapes, portraits, wildlife, and more. Shadow noise is minimized in high-dynamic-range landscapes, and portraits are captured with realistic skin tones.

Up to 16-stop dynamic range

Up to 16 stops of dynamic range at low sensitivities supports HDR processing. Outstanding resolution and high sensitivity capture stunning imagery throughout the ISO 100–32000 range. Noise in night scenes is also reduced.

Stable, accurate auto white balance

The Visible Light + IR Sensor works with deep learning-based illumination estimation to achieve stable, accurate auto white balance under any lighting. Together, they enable natural colour reproduction in a wide variety of scenes.

Lifelike rendering of wide dynamic range scenes

The updated D-Range Optimizer (DRO) balances bright highlights and dark shadows and offers a wider range of strength settings, up to Lv8. At higher levels, DRO lifts shadow areas in strong backlight, delivering more natural-looking portrait shots.

Up to 8.5-step central and 7.0-step peripheral stabilization

Superb stabilization performance maximizes resolution, preventing degradation due to blur. Stabilization is even more effective with compatible lenses10, and telephoto lens shake is also effectively suppressed.
