Since the camera has no optical low-pass filter that can com­promise high resolution, every shot you take benefits from the fine edge-to-edge clarity and detail that the higher-per­formance image sensor and lenses deliver.
All FE lenses maximize resolution

Contrast-detection AF coverage (25 points)
Phase-detection AF coverage (399 points)
Your shots of action can look clearer than ever, thanks to a new full-frame image sensor that assures wide-area coverage with 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points. With its accelerated readout and an advanced algorithm to anticipate subject movement, the sensor also makes
More complete AF coverage
Even when the action is too un­predictable or sudden for you to see, the

Faster readout thanks to the back­illuminated structure of the image sensor improved AF response so dramatically that the AF system of the
7R II instantly captures even fast-moving subjects with razor­sharp clarity. Phase-detection AF, contrast-detection AF and BIONZ X also contribute to speedy, accu­rate AF performance, while a more advanced algorithm enhances the accuracy of subject detection, opti­mizing lens drive movement to raise AF speed by 40%*.

Brilliant AF and AE tracking even at 5fps
regardless of how it moves, thanks to dense AF point coverage over a wide area, the new image sensor's accelerated readout for highly ef­ficient processing of vast amounts of phase-detection information, and an advanced motion-detection algorithm that accurately predicts even quick imminent movements. This allows you to shoot 5fps continuously even with steadfast AF and AE tracking engaged, so you can capture a decisive moment in sharp detail at the proper exposure.

5-axis image stabilization
The 5-axis image stabilization system is fine-tuned for high-resolution image sensors. It accurately compen­sates for five types of camera shake that can compro­mise handheld shooting of the camera's 42.4-megapixel images, so you can zoom in on faraway subjects, shoot close-ups and capture night scenes with minimal camera shake blur. Camera shake compensation is equivalent to using a 4.5-step* faster shutter speed, allowing you to take advantage of a wider range of shutter speeds.

Stable viewfinder image
You can monitor the stabilizing effects of camera shake compensation in the viewfinder or LCD screen while shooting still images by pressing the shutter button halfway or magnifying the image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode. Even when using a telephoto or macro lens, you can fine-tune framing and focusing without stress for steady results.
Press the shutter button half­way or magnify the image to view the stabilizing effect while shooting still images.

High-bit-rate XAVC S format* for 4K recording
XAVC S format now supports 4K recording at maximum 100Mbps bit rate as well as Full HD recording at 50Mbps, so the
7R II can capture movies filled with finely detailed movement. For efficient handling, XAVC S files are mini­mized in size using Long GOP data compression, and con­tained in the widely compatible MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format.
* A class 10 or higher SDXC memory card is required to record movies in the XAVC S format. UHS Speed Class 3 is also required for recording at 100Mbps.

Ready for the long run
XGA OLED Tru-Finder makes every view a vision
With the world's highest* magnifi­cation at 0.78x (full-display diagonal field of view: approx. 38.5 degrees; live-view-display diagonal field of view: approx. 37.2 degrees) among digital still camera viewfinders and a new four-lens optical system with double-sided aspherical elements,
* The vi ewf inder magnification is approx . 0.78x (wi th 50mm lens at infinit y, -1m-1). As of J une 20 15 base d on Sony research.
the XGA OLED Tru-Finder provides views of cutting-edge clarity and contrast throughout the entire width and length of the display. Better yet, ZEISS T* Coating ensures absolutely minimal surface reflec­tion. As an electronic viewfinder, the Tru-Finder can instantly show
how exposure compensation, white balance and other selected settings affect image appearance including background blur, and faithfully de­picts the extraordinary 42.4-mega­pixel images, complementing the camera’s powerful high-resolution performance.
Tough magnesium alloy body
Designed for solid reliability and steady handling, the
7R II's com­pact body is built to withstand the rigors of shooting in the field, thanks to an internal structure and top, front, and rear covers all made of strong, rigid magnesium alloy.
Meticulously crafted controls
Controls are refined for intuitive operation and immediate adjust­ment even while looking through the viewfinder. The front and rear dials have been particularly refined and positioned for easier, more efficient handling and turning. Also, a new mode dial locking mechanism pre­vents inadvertent changes of shoot­ing mode at all times.
Front dial
Mode dial with locking mechanism
Rear dial
Enhanced grip and shutter button
The grip is refined in shape and height to support a more secure grasp of the camera even when a large lens is mounted. This also con­tributes to more confident opera­tion of the shutter button and dials. Moreover, the shutter button has been reshaped and shifted forward to enable more natural shooting with less camera shake.
Operation of the
7R II can be powered via USB connection to a PC or mobile battery. This conserves the camera’s batter y, allowing you extended use of the camera without worrying that the battery will run out. When the camera is turned off, the battery can be charged via the same connection.
Convenient tiltable LCD screen
The LCD screen tilts upward approx. 107 degrees and downward ap­prox. 41 degrees to accommodate wide-ranging shooting angles. This flexibility combines with compact mobility to greatly expand your shooting options. Viewing is also clear under direct sunlight thanks to WhiteMagic
TM
technology that nearly doubles the brightness of the display through a unique RGBW pixel structure for easier checking of the focus and image details.
Easy button customization
You can assign any of 64 functions* to any of 10 customizable buttons as you like. This makes operation more intuitive, quick and easy, and is extra-convenient for access­ing such functions as starting and stopping of movie recording and switching between viewfinder and monitor.
* Some f unctions c an only be assigned to certain but tons.
Robust lens mountPower supply via USB Anti-dust system and coatingDust and moisture resistance
The strength and rigidity of the body and lens mount have been enhanced to provide an especially solid foundation for mounting large, heavy lenses such as super tele­photo lenses and those preferred for movie shooting.
Enjoy carefree shooting in tough en­vironments, thanks to comprehensive dust and moisture resistance mea­sures that help prevent water and dust from entering the body. These mea­sures include sealing around the but­tons and dials, as well as a protective double-layered structure that tightly interlocks panels and components.
Note: This camera is desi gned for optimal dust and mois-
ture resistance, but is not wate rproof or spla shproof.
To keep your photos blemish-free, a special anti-static coating on the surface of the optical filter suppress­es the attachment of both dry and moist dust particles when changing lenses. An anti-dust mechanism also vibrates at high speed when you select Cleaning Mode, to remove any particles adhering to the filter.
