About Sony ALPHA A7 IV

Enhance your photography and videography experience with the Sony Alpha a7 IV Mirrorless Camera, a high-quality and innovative device designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike. This sophisticated camera boasts a 33MP high-resolution full-frame Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor, ensuring outstanding speed and superior image quality. The sensor's copper wiring enhances transmission speeds and facilitates faster analogue to digital conversion, enabling 10-bit 4:2:2 4K recording up to 60p.

Experience improved color reproducibility, low-noise performance at all sensitivities, and a 15+stop dynamic range. The sensor also enhances autofocus speed and precision performance, delivering soft, natural-looking human skin textures and detailed color gradation.

The Sony Alpha a7 IV Mirrorless Camera is powered by the BIONZ XR image processor, also used in the Sony Alpha 1 and Alpha 7S III models, providing up to an 8x increase in processing speed. This engine concentrates real-time processing of autofocus, image recognition, and image quality adjustment to minimize processing latency, delivering increased movie and still processing power.

The camera's impressive low levels of noise are achieved throughout the standard range of ISO 100-51200, expandable to ISO 50-204800 for stills and ISO 100-102400 for movies. The camera's full dynamic range of 15 stops uses image data from the sensor's 33-megapixels to render remarkably delicate detail in landscapes and scenery.

The Alpha 7 IV offers an impressive range of video recording options, including 4K 60p recording, 4:2:2 10-bit recording, and 7K oversampling for beautifully expressive, richly detailed images. The camera also supports S-Cinetone, delivering natural mid-tones for healthy-looking skin color, soft colors, and gorgeous highlights.

The Sony Alpha a7 IV Mirrorless Camera introduces compensation for focus breathing, a first in the Sony Alpha series. This feature can be used in conjunction with Active Mode image stabilization to shoot stable, consistent imagery. The camera also features a new Focus Map feature, allowing you to easily visualize depth of field (DOF) and which areas are in and out of focus.

The Fast Hybrid AF system combines 759 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points with a wide coverage of roughly 94% of the image area for both stills and movies. The camera's smart AI-based Real-time Tracking and improved Real-time Eye AF ensure accurate tracking and focusing.

The Sony Alpha a7 IV Mirrorless Camera also offers 10-frame-per-second continuous shooting with a massive buffer, allowing you to capture more than 1000 compressed RAW+JPEG frames. With its increased processing power, you can change menu settings even while data is being written to the memory card. This advanced, professional camera is designed to elevate your photography and videography to new heights.
