High-definition video recording

Mobility for high-definition movie recording0

The α7CR offers highly detailed 4K movie capture with 6.2K oversampling0, plus the mobility required for gimbal or drone mounted shooting. It also features S-Cinetone™ for a cinematic look, Log shooting, Real-time Tracking with advanced subject recognition, Active Mode1 image stabilization, breathing compensation2, and many more refinements.

Full-frame 4K 60/50p0 recording

The latest BIONZ XR processing engine and updated algorithms achieve notably improved movie image quality. As well as focus support, the camera’s advanced AI processing unit is also used to achieve accurate white balance, even in tricky situations where the subject is in shade. Skin tones, foliage, and other materials are reproduced with consistently natural colour in just about any type of lighting, and gradations such as highlight roll off in portraits are remarkably lifelike.
