The fully-stacked Exmor RS image sensor delivers class-leading 66.8 MP1 resolution and superb image quality for landscapes, portraits, wildlife, and more. Shadow noise is minimized in high-dynamic-range landscapes, and portraits are captured with realistic skin tones. - Up to 16-stop6 dynamic range
Up to 16 stops of dynamic range6 at low sensitivities supports HDR processing. Outstanding resolution and high sensitivity capture stunning imagery throughout the ISO 100-32000 range.7 Noise in night scenes is also reduced. - Stable, accurate auto white balance
The Visible Light + I R Sensor works with deep learning-based illumination estimation to achieve stable, accurate auto white balance under any lighting. Together, they enable natural color reproduction i n a wide variety of scenes. - Lifelike rendering of wide dynamic range scenes
The updated D-Range Optimizer (DRO) balances bright highlights and dark shadows and offers a wider range of strength settings, up to Lv8.8 At higher levels, DRO lifts shadow areas in strong backlight, delivering more natural-looking portrait shots. - Up to 8.5-step central and 7.0-step peripheral stabilization9
Superb stabilization performance maximizes resolution, preventing degradation due to blur. Stabilization is even more effective with compatible lenses,10 and telephoto lens shake is also effectively suppressed. - Upgraded format options with lightweight RAW
A [Compressed (HQ)] RAW format has beer added to the existing format, providing lightweight RAW files that enable continuous shooting while maintaining high image quality. - Three composite RAW modes11
[Pixel Shift Multi] mode creates composites with extremely high resolution, [NR Shooting) produces low-noise images, and [Shooting for HDR] captures images with a wide dynamic range. - Extended RAW processing uses deep learning for enhanced quality
Extended RAW12 offers two image-enhancing functions: [Extended Hi-Res), which boosts the pixel count of captured images by a factor of four to approximately 270 MP, and [Extended NR] for high noise reduction with full resolution. - Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps3 with full AF/AE
Shoot bursts at up to 30 fps3 at full 66.8 MP1 resolution, with AF/AE tracking and no viewfinder blackout. Up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second4 effortlessly track even complex subject movement.

Capture the decisive moment — even after it happens. Half-press the shutter button to set focus, then fully press to record a burst of images from 0.03 to 1 second15 after the initial half-press. - Temporarily boost speed while shooting bursts
During continuous burst shooting, press an assigned custom button to change the shooting speed — for example, from 10 fps to 30 fps16 — when the key moment approaches. This feature can be used even while shooting single frames. - Real-time Recognition AF+ for more tenacious tracking
The α7R VI utilizes the latest human pose estimation technology for improved recognition and tracking. It accurately maintains focus on the desired subject in a group or when a distant subject is small in the frame, even when the subject is moving. - Improved subject recognition performance17
Recognition of distant animals and birds has been significantly improved. Choose from Human, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, or Airplane17 mode, or let Auto detect the subject type.18 Even when Subject Recognition is turned off, Sony’s original algorithm processes multiple data points for reliable tracking. - Approx. 94% AF coverage for extra framing freedom
Fast readout and processing deliver notably improved AF. 75919 phase detection points cover about 94% of the image area for precise focusing for shooting stills, even when the subject is small in the frame. - Precise AF in low light
Enjoy reliable AF at light levels as low as EV-620, or EV-1121 with Bright Monitoring enabled. The AF can also be limited to long-distance ranges for shooting low-light distant scenes.22 - Flexible focus area settings
Choose from XL, L, M, S, and XS spot focus area sizes, or create a custom vertical focus area. The XS setting assists focusing on the subject when objects are in the foreground. - Temporarily switch from AF to MF with Full Time DMF23
When shooting stills with AF, rotating the lens's focus ring temporarily switches to manual focus for fine-tuning or shifting the focus to the desired subject. - Optimum focus on difficult subjects with Focus Bracketing24
Up to 299 images are automatically shot at specified focus increments. The best focus can then be selected, or the images can be composited in post-production for extreme depth of field. - Flicker-free images in artificial light
Anti-flicker Shooting25 prevents exposure and color variations caused by artificial lighting, and High-frequency Flicker-free Shooting adjusts the shutter speed for best results in LED-lit settings. - Full-frame 4K 60p video without cropping
Equipped with an upgraded image sensor and processing engine, the α7R VI is capable of 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) 60p and high frame rate 4K 120p26 recording without cropping. 4:2:2 color sampling and 10-bit depth further support high video quality.27 - 8K movies for spectacular resolution28,29
8K 30p28,29 movies can be recorded in XAVC HS format with 8.2K oversampling offering spectacular resolution. This is further enhanced by precision AF performance, along with natural gradations and colors. 8K also supports 4:2:2 10-bit recording. - Dual Gain Shooting for enhanced editing flexibility
Leveraging the sensor's tonal range, Dual Gain Shooting delivers wider latitude with detailed shadows, low noise, and smooth video gradations for enhanced editing flexibility.30 - S-Log3 supports post-production workflows
The S-Log3 gamma curve maintains smooth gradations for more effective post processing. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3. Cine color spaces are supported, and S-Cinetone™ and imported user LUTs offer a finished look without grading. - In-camera audio processing
Whether recording via the internal or an external31 Noise Reduction modes32 microphone, Audio Noise Reduction — with Noise Cut and Wind — uses digital processing to reduce background, wind, and lens noise.33 - 32bit float audio recording for editing flexibility
The optional XLR-A4 XLR Adaptor enables 9 6 kHz / 32bit float audio recording. This delivers a wide dynamic range via the Multi Interface (MI) Shoe™ which supports a digital audio interface. This high-quality audio offers greater flexibility during editing. - Real-time Recognition AF+ lets you focus on composition
Pose estimation technology for human subjects offers reliable recognition for movies as well as stills. Choose from Human, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, or Airplane mode, or let Auto detect the subject type.17 - Enhanced stabilization
An enhanced developed stabilization unit expands the roll direction compensation range by up to 2x, effectively reducing handheld roll shake. Select Dynamic active Mode34 for 30% stronger compensation35 and steadier handheld video. - Breathing compensation36 for smooth movie imagery
Sony’s original Clear Image Zoom technology stabilizes the angle of view when focusing, minimizing breathing. Compensation can also be applied via the Catalyst BrowseTM and Catalyst PrepareTM applications or the Catalyst Prepare PluginTM during post-production. - Bright high-resolution wide-gamut electronic viewfinder
Retaining the class-leading37 9.44-million-dot resolution38 of its predecessor, the α7R VI upgrades to an OLED electronic viewfinder with a DCI-P3-equivalent color gamut, 10-bit depth, and up to 3x39 the luminance. Enjoy clear, smooth viewing even in bright outdoor conditions or when shooting HLG stills. - 4-axis multi-angle monitor
