Product details

The innovative Alpha 7R IV full-frame mirrorless camera can shoot at up to 10 frames per second with consistently accurate AF/AE tracking for approximately 7 seconds - each at full resolution - in full-frame
61 MP (JPEG/RAW) or approximately 3x longer in APS-C sized 26.2 MP mode. These high-speed capabilities capture even fast-moving subjects with ultra-accuracy and impressive detail. The Alpha 7R IV's advanced focusing system includes 567 AF phase detection points covering approximately 74% of the image area, plus 425 AF contrast points for added accuracy and reliability in low-light and other shooting situations for which contrast AF is ideal. The camera's higher AF sensor density and revised tracking algorithms significantly improve tracking performance, so even complex or sudden subject movements are now tracked reliably and more accurately than ever before.

The Alpha 7R IV also supports real-time AF with Eye Detection, which uses artificial intelligence to detect and process eye position in real time, enabling ultra-accurate focusing of the subject's eye throughout. This feature is available for both people and animals. Sony's Alpha 7R IV full-frame camera is equipped with a range of advanced networking features for professional workflows. The model offers WLAN with support for the usual 2.4 GHz band as well as the 5 GHz high-speed band for faster and more stable data transfer. A wireless PC remote networking function (wireless tethering shooting) is also available with the Alpha 7R IV - a first for Sony's cameras. This feature, requested by many professionals, opens up freedoms for studio and on-location shooting - photographers can now move around unhindered. High-resolution 4K and pro filming capabilities.

In addition to its impressive photo shooting features, the Alpha 7R IV is also a great movie camera, with 4K video recording (3840 x 2160 pixels) and full pixel display without pixel binning in Super 35mm mode, delivering 4K content with high detail and outstanding depth. S-Log 2 and S-Log 3 also provide highly flexible color shaping, and S-Log 3 offers up to 14 levels of dynamic range. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) is also available with the Alpha 7R IV to support direct HDR workflows. For video autofocus, this versatile full-frame camera uses an optimized fast hybrid autofocus system that speeds up autofocus while filming and makes it more seamless and stable - even when an object temporarily moves in front of the subject. The Touch Tracking function for movie shooting also captures the desired subject with just a touch of the display.

The Alpha 7R IV is Sony's first camera with real-time AF with Eye Detection for movie shooting. When this function is activated, the eye of the subject in question is automatically tracked ultra-precisely and ultra-reliably, allowing the filmmaker to focus entirely on the subject instead of having to worry about focusing. The Touch Tracking function also automatically starts AF with eye detection when a person is selected as the subject. Optimization of construction, design and customization options. The Alpha 7R IV has been further optimized for maximum resistance to dust and water splashes. To this end, all joints on the body, the battery cover and the media slots have been additionally sealed. In addition, the camera is made of an ultra-lightweight and ultra-durable magnesium alloy and features a redesigned extra-firm lens mount with six screws.
