No other full frame, interchangeable-lens camera is this light or this portable.
24.3 MP of rich detail. A true-to-life 2.4 million dot OLED viewnder. Wi-Fi®
sharing and an expandable shoe system. It’s all the full-frame performance
you ever wanted in a compact size that will change your perspective entirely.
Key Features
World’s smallest lightest interchangeable lens full-frame camera
Sony’s Exmor image sensor takes full advantage of the Full-frame format, but in a camera body less than half the size and
weight of a full-frame DSLR.

Full Frame 24.3 MP resolution with 14-bit RAW output
A whole new world of high-quality images are realized through the 24.3 MP eective 35 mm full-frame sensor, a normal
sensor range of ISO 100 – 25600, and a sophisticated balance of high resolving power, gradation and low noise. The
BIONZ® X image processor enables up to 5 fps high-speed continuous shooting and 14-bit RAW image data recording.
Fast Hybrid AF w/ phase-detection for DSLR-like focusing speed
Enhanced Fast Hybrid auto focus combines speedy phase-detection AF with highly accurate contrast-detection
AF, which has been accelerated through a new Spatial Object Detection algorithm, to achieve among the fastest
autofocusing performance of any full-frame camera. First, phase-detection AF with 117 densely placed phase-detection
AF points3 swily and eciently moves the lens to bring the subject nearly into focus. Then contrast-detection AF with wide
AF coverage ne-tunes the focusing in the blink of an eye.
Fast Intelligent AF for responsive, accurate, and greater operability with full frame sensor
The high-speed image processing engine and improved algorithms combine with optimized image sensor read-out speed
to achieve ultra high-speed AF despite the use of a full-frame sensor.
New Eye AF control
Even when capturing a subject partially turned away from the camera with a shallow depth of eld, the face will be
sharply focused thanks to extremely accurate eye detection that can prioritize a single pupil. A green frame appears
over the prioritized eye when focus has been achieved for easy conrmation. Eye AF can be used when the function is
assigned to a customizable button, allowing users to instantly activate it depending on the scene.
Fully compatible with Sony’s E-mount lens system and new full-frame lenses
To take advantage of the lightweight on-the-go body, the α7 is fully compatible with Sony’s E-mount lens system and
expanded line of E-mount compact and lightweight full-frame lenses from Carl Zeiss and Sony’s premier G-series.
Direct access interface for fast, intuitive shooting control
Quick Navi Pro displays all major shooting options on the LCD screen so you can rapidly conrm settings and make
adjustments as desired without searching through dedicated menus. When eeting shooting opportunities arise, you’ll be
able to respond swily with just the right settings.
High contrast 2.4M dot OLED EVF for eye-level framing
View every scene in rich detail with the XGA OLED Tru-Finder, which features OLED improvements and the same 3-lens
optical system used in the agship α99. The viewnder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording, including the
eects of your camera settings, so you can accurately monitor the results. You’ll enjoy rich tonal gradations and 3 times
the contrast of the α99. High-end features like 100% frame coverage and a wide viewing angle are also provided.
3.0" 921K dot LCD tilts for high and low angle framing
The tiltable 3.0” (921k dots) Xtra Fine™ LCD Display makes it easy to photograph over crowds or low to capture pets
eye to eye by swinging up approx. 84° and down approx. 45°. Easily scroll through menus and preview life thanks to
WhiteMagic™ technology that dramatically increases visibility in bright daylight. The large display delivers brilliant-quality
still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.
Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi® or NFC
Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplied with Wi-Fi®/NFC control. In
addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, the α7 also supports NFC (near eld communication) providing
“one touch connection” convenience when transferring images to Android™ smartphones and tablets. Users need only
touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a feature that
allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection to the smartphone can be established by simply
touching compatible devices.
PC control w/ remote video capture control
Remote Camera Control allows you to control your α7 from your PC using a USB cable. Feature control has also been
updated to include video capture control.
14-bit RAW output for rich tonal gradation
14-bit RAW image data of extremely high quality is outputted by the α7. This data fully preserves the rich detail generated
by the image sensor during the 14-bit A/D conversion process. When developed with Sony’s Image Data Converter RAW
development soware, these images deliver the superb photographic expression and rich gradation that only 14-bit data
can oer.
New BIONZ® X image processing engine
Sony proudly introduces the new BIONZ® X image processing engine, which faithfully reproduces textures and details in
real time, as seen by the naked eye, via extra high-speed processing capabilities. Together with front-end LSI (large scale
integration) that accelerates processing in the earliest stages, it enables more natural details, more realistic images, richer
tonal gradations and lower noise whether you shoot still images or movies.
Full HD movie2 at 24p/60i/60p w/uncompressed HDMI® output
Capture Full 1920 x 1080 HD uncompressed clean-screen video les to external recording devices via an HDMI®
connection in 60p and 60i frame-rates. Selectable in-camera AVCHD™ codec frames rates include super-smooth 60p,
standard 60i or cinematic 24p. MP4 codec is also available for smaller les for easier upload to the web.
Up to 5 fps shooting to capture the decisive moment
When your subject is moving fast, you can capture the decisive moment with clarity and precision by shooting at speeds
up to 5 frames per second. New faster, more accurate AF tracking, made possible by Fast Hybrid AF, uses powerful
predictive algorithms and subject recognition technology to track every move with greater speed and precision.
Multi-interface Shoe for ash and microphone exibility
Unlike conventional cameras, the α7 features the advanced Multi-Interface Shoe that dramatically expands compatibility
with Sony digital imaging accessories, thus raising the potential for photo/movie shooting.
4K Still image output by HDMI® or WiFi® for viewing on 4K TVs
Enjoy Ultra High Denition slide shows directly from the camera to a compatible 4K television. The α7 converts images for
optimized 4K image size playback (8MP). Enjoy expressive rich colors and amazing detail like never before. Images can
be viewed via an optional HDMI® or WiFi®.
