The Sony a7R II packs heavy imaging power in a lightweight body. With enhanced light sensitivity and lightning-quick data output, its 42-megapixel full-frame back-illuminated CMOS sensor takes efficiency to a new level. The absence of an optical low-pass filter on this powerful sensor means you'll be able to take advantage of every one of those 42-plus megapixels of resolution for high-level detail and edge-to-edge clarity. Add to that a blazing-fast processing engine and you've got one rock-solid camera for producing remarkably clear photos and videos with near-instant autofocus and incredible low-light performance.
The a7R II's highly responsive Fast Hybrid autofocus system gives you clear action shots with keen subject tracking that keeps moving subjects in sharp focus throughout the frame. 399 AF points provide pinpoint autofocus accuracy in still images and movies.
Videographers, take note
The a7R II produces stunning Full HD video and is optimized for 4K movie recording. In Super 35mm format, data is processed from every pixel for sharp, finely detailed footage. A multi interface shoe lets you connect professional microphone kits for balanced audio to match the video quality. Advanced features like Picture Profile and the S-Log2 Gamma setting let you adjust color, gradation, and dynamic range for richly detailed movies, even when shooting in low light. A clean HDMI output sends uncompressed movie data to an external recorder or monitor. You can keep recording with the camera even when using this function.
Steady as she goes
At such high levels of definition and detail, even small amounts of camera shake can be visible in your videos or cause noticeable blurring in still images, so Sony has taken plenty of steps to ensure crystal-clear photos and shake-free videos. Five-axis image stabilization optimized for high-resolution sensors compensates for camera shake from five different directions, giving you freedom to shoot handheld, zoom in on distant subjects, and capture sharp night scenes. You can monitor the effects of camera shake compensation in the viewfinder or LCD screen while shooting and adjust framing and focusing if needed for steady results. The a7R II's reduced-vibration shutter has a braking mechanism that cuts down on vibration, and Silent Shooting Mode uses an electronic shutter that cuts out shake caused by mechanical shutter movement.
Your phone adds functionality
Built-in Wi-Fi means you can instantly transfer photos and videos from the a7R II directly to your phone or tablet for easy uploading and sharing. NFC touch pairing is also available for compatible Android™ devices. Sony's PlayMemories Camera Apps include free and paid apps that complement your photographic style and interests. There's the indispensable free Smart Remote Control app that lets you use your mobile device to control shooting on the a7R II, along with specialized apps for things like light painting, time-lapse, stop motion, and multiple exposure, plus plenty of editing effects to fine-tune your photos and add your own personal touches.
