Stable, accurate auto white balance

The Visible Light + IR Sensor works with deep learning-based illumination estimation to achieve stable, accurate auto white balance under any lighting. Together, they enable natural colour reproduction in a wide variety of scenes.  [1] Shot on α7R V [2] Shot on α7R VI

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.

1. When shooting with D-Range Optimizer, the image may be noisy. Noise may be particularly noticeable especially when Lv6 to Lv8 is selected.

Up to 8.5-step central and 7.0-step peripheral stabilisation

1. CIPA 2024 standards. Pitch/Yaw/Roll compensation. FE 50mm F1.2 GM lens. Long exposure NR off.

Superb stabilisation performance maximises resolution, preventing degradation due to blur. Stabilisation is even more effective with compatible lenses

1. See Sony's support web page for information on compatible lenses: https://www.sony.net/dics/fnc1002/. A software update may be required for some lenses. Stabilisation may vary according to the lens used.

Upgraded format options with lightweight RAW

A [Compressed (HQ)] RAW format has been added to the existing format, providing lightweight RAW files that enable continuous shooting while maintaining high image quality.

Three composite RAW modes

1. The latest version of the Imaging Edge Desktop application is required for compositing.

[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.  [1] Original RAW [2] Composite image

Extended RAW processing uses deep learning for enhanced quality

Creative Look creates visual moods in-camera

Creative Look presets include [FL2] and [FL3] selections that can be used as-is or edited to create custom looks to match your vision. These can be saved for later use, giving greater creative flexibility.

Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps

1. [Hi+] continuous shooting mode, electronic shutter. Continuous shooting speed may be lower in some conditions. See Sony’s support web page for lens compatibility information: https://www.sony.net/tutorial_ilc_2620/continuousshooting/

Shoot bursts at up to 30 fps

1. [Hi+] continuous shooting mode, electronic shutter. Continuous shooting speed may be lower in some conditions. See Sony’s support web page for lens compatibility information: https://www.sony.net/tutorial_ilc_2620/continuousshooting/

Pre-Capture for key moments prior to shutter release

1. Maximum Pre-Capture time may be reduced in some situations.

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 second

1. The temperature of the camera can rise at high continuous shooting speeds. Pre-Capture may be stopped to protect the camera when the ambient temperature is high.

Enhanced Real-time Recognition AF+ for more tenacious human tracking

The α7R VI utilises 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 performance

1. Available subject settings are: Auto, Human, Animal/Bird, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, and Airplane. Subject types other than the type specified may be erroneously recognised in some cases.

Recognition of distant animals and birds has been significantly improved. Choose from Human, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, or Airplane

1. Available subject settings are: Auto, Human, Animal/Bird, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, and Airplane. Subject types other than the type specified may be erroneously recognised in some cases.

Approx. 94% AF coverage for extra framing freedom

Fast readout and processing deliver notably improved AF. 759

1. Max. AF detection points for still images. Number of points varies according to shooting mode. 759 phase-detection AF points with a full-frame lens in APS-C mode. 759 phase-detection and 25 contrast-detection AF points with an APS-C lens.

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.

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 120p

1. When [4K angle of view Priority] is set to [On] to prioritise the recorded angle of view and the ISO sensitivity is increased, noise may become noticeable, especially when the subject is dark.

8K movies for spectacular resolution

1. Angle of view is reduced for 8K recording.
2. [APS-C S35 shooting] is fixed [OFF] during 8K recording. A full-frame 35 mm lens is recommended.

8K 30p

1. Angle of view is reduced for 8K recording.
2. [APS-C S35 shooting] is fixed [OFF] during 8K recording. A full-frame 35 mm lens is recommended.

Dual Gain Shooting offers 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.

1. The ISO sensitivity and shutter speed range will change. [Dual Gain Shooting] is disabled when recording in formats other than 4K 30p (25p) or 24p. Please see the α7R VI Help Guide.
