Capture all the beauty of the world

The 24.2-MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor works with Sony's BIONZ X™ engine to deliver superb colour reproduction along with a wide 15-stop dynamic range, and it helps capture details and smooth transitions across all lighting conditions in both stills and movies.

Stunning images, even at fast shutter speeds and in dim light

The larger pixel sizes on the sensor allow for an increased signal-to-noise ratio, for beautiful images with more detail in textures and shadow areas. Noise reduction is particularly effective at the medium- and high-ISO sensitivities required for fast-moving or poorly lit subjects. Standard ISO 100—51200 is extendable to ISO 50—204800.

4K recording for beautiful movie imagery

Shallow depth of field enables bokeh effects, one of the strengths of full-frame cameras. Full-pixel readout without pixel binning allows oversampling equivalent to 6K recording, for clean images with less moiré and jaggies.

Widen your expression with S-Log, HLG and Picture Profile options

S-Log3 support captures a wide dynamic range of 14 stops, revealing fine detail in both shadows and highlights in post-production. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) facilitates direct HDR playback and workflow, and Picture Profile provides various settings options for capturing images.

Super-accurate AF finds the subject quickly and keeps it in steady focus

The α7C takes advantage of the same AF advancements as our acclaimed α9, with unique 4D FOCUS for fast subject acquisition and steadfast tracking over a wide area. A total of 693 phase-detection AF points cover approx. 93% of the image area.

Never miss a moment, even with fast-moving subjects

To better capture subjects in motion, the α7C shoots in continuous bursts at up to 10fps with AF/AE tracking, and up to 8fps in live-view mode. It also supports silent shooting at up to 10fps with AF/AE tracking.

Persistent Subject Tracking with Smart AI-based Real-time Tracking & Real-time Eye AF

Reliable subject tracking translates into more successful portraits. As with previous models, you can aim at the subject and half-press the preconfigured shutter button to start Real-time Eye AF. The α7C also has a new feature that lets you press the AF-ON button to activate Real-time Tracking even when not in AF-C mode, allowing you to use Real-time Tracking immediately. Focus is maintained even when the face is partially obstructed or when the subject is wearing glasses.

Animal Portraits in Perfect Focus with Real-time Eye AF for Animals

Taking successful still shots of pets and other animals is much easier with Sony's cutting-edge algorithm-based AF. Fast, precise automatic detection and tracking of an animal's eyes, rather than the tip of the nose or the whiskers, keeps everything in clear focus—simply leave it up to the camera. It works dependably even when an obstacle comes into view or when the camera's horizontal/vertical orientation changes.

Movie production made easy

The side-opening LCD monitor makes self-vlogging easy, an optional grip and mic combination is perfect for cable-free vlogging, and digital mic support provides extra-clear sound. Popular vertical-format video is also supported, using metadata to allow vertically recorded footage to be replayed and edited in the vertical position without needing to rotate it first.

Grip accessories for a quick, high-level vlog setup

The optional GP-VPT2BT Bluetooth® grip controls recording and zoom operations, and doubles as a tripod for hands-free shooting. A customizable button and easy camera-angle adjustment make it perfect for efficient shooting.

Clear 2x zoom for flexible shooting options

Sony's Clear Image Zoom maintains subject resolution with almost no deterioration of image quality. Even single-focus lenses can be used as zoom lenses, with up to 2x zoom magnification.

Digital audio interface for clear sound recording

When using Sony's ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M Adaptor Kit via the MI (Multi Interface) shoe, audio is transmitted as a digital signal, for high-quality sound recording without deterioration or extra audio cables.

Fine-tune AF Subject Shift Sensitivity to maintain steady focus or allow focus shift

AF sensitivity is adjustable for situations with multiple subjects in motion. Levels range from “1. Persistent” to maintain stable focus on the original subject, to “5. Sensitive” to switch easily to other subjects.

Use AF Transition Speed to control how fast the focus shifts

When auto focus does shift from one subject to another, you can specify the speed of the transition. Seven levels are available, from smooth, leisurely transitions to fast shifts in focus.

Slow-motion and fast-motion shooting

In-camera recording up to 5x slower or 60x faster than real time

Varying the pace of footage is an extra creative element you can add to movies, and the α7C's S&Q mode makes it easy. It supports high-speed full HD recording at 120fps, and both slow-motion and fast-motion effects are possible in camera, with frame rates ranging from 1—120fps. The resulting footage is up to 5x slower or 60x faster than real-time action.

Easy visual effects for movies

Picture Effect, Creative Style and Picture Profile features are a simple way to widen your creative expression when shooting movies. They provide a wide variety of visual effects and settings, from entry-level to professional. Picture Effect and Creative Style let you leave things to the camera, so there's no need for post-production grading.

Side-opening LCD monitor for flexible operation

The 921-thousand-dot26 3.0-type touch panel rotates 176° horizontally and 270° vertically. Use Touch Focus to shift focus instantly, or Touch Shutter to focus and capture still images with a single touch to the screen.

Easy battery charging even when shooting

The large-capacity Z battery tucked into the α7C's compact body can take advantage of a USB power supply. A USB Type-C® cable is all you need for charging, and you can shoot while you're charging.

Remote shooting from mobile devices and PCs

Remote shooting from mobile devices and PCs The α7C's Wi-Fi® capability makes it easy to set up remote shooting. Set up your camera at a distance and take selfies or vlog footage, using a PC, smartphone or tablet to preview, adjust settings and operate the shutter.

Quick data transfer to mobile devices for social-media sharing

Photos and videos can be transferred directly to smartphones and tablets on the spot, for easy viewing, sharing and storage via 2.4- or 5-GHz Wi-Fi®. One-touch transfer is possible for certain devices, with QR-code connections for others.
