Meet the world's smallest and lightest 35mm full-frame interchangeable-lens camera.2 With 36.4 megapixels, the α7R is not just a landmark for compact cameras—it is a landmark for all cameras. And with Sony’s latest BIONZ X processor and no optical low-pass filter, the α7R offers unmatched lifelike detail. Get ready to capture reality as never before.
This remarkable new sensor has all the elements for world-class images: high-resolution, top sensitivity, extreme dynamic range, unsurpassed detail, and low noise.
Expect superlative results with Sony's latest processing engine, BIONZ X: truer color rendering, better noise reduction, and faster burst mode shooting.
Our latest Exmor sensor features higher speed from parallel signal processing and faster signal conversion. It’s effortless to achieve the detail needed for demanding professional applications.
Enhanced detail reproduction plus diffraction-reducing technology create more natural outlines and reduce blur from light points. Enjoy noise reduction plus 16-bit processing and 14-bit RAW output.
In designing the α7R, Sony strove to balance the precise control working photographers need, with the ergonomics they want. The result is carefully-crafted knobs and dials, robust functions, extensive customization potential, and recording and connectivity options, all in a durable, lightweight body 25% smaller than leading DSLRs.
At just 465 g with a battery, the α7R is about half the weight of leading DSLRs. And being less bulky as well, there's no more giving up quality for portability.
Crafting the α7R from magnesium, the world's lightest structural metal, means that the camera you carry with you today will also be with you tomorrow.
The faster BIONZ X processor plus new spatial object detection algorithm work together to optimize control of the lens drive. Enhancements include more accurate eye detection and lock-on autofocus.
For perfect portraiture, this function creates sharp focus on faces even when partially turned away from the camera with a shallow depth of field, thanks to enhanced eye detection that can prioritize a single pupil.
Easily keep moving subjects in focus with this updated technology, which adjusts target frame size based on subject characteristics and makes use of a wide AF area to ensure usage of the optimal focus point.
With the Flexible Spot AF area setting, you can select different-size autofocus area to match your subject, and help ensure the camera focuses on the intended area. Wide and Zone focus area settings are also available.
With 100% frame coverage, 1024x768 resolution, high contrast, real-time settings updates, and accurate bokeh, the OLED (XGA) Tru-Finder is not merely a composition accessory, but an enhancement. Completing the professional-grade features are five display modes and color temperature and brightness adjustment.
Unlike a traditional optical viewfinder (OVF), which distorts bokeh through the focusing screen, Sony’s electronic viewfinder (EVF) presents the image directly from the sensor, so you see exactly what the finished image will be. Change your f-stop? You’ll see the depth of field shift in the viewfinder.
The α7R’s combination of 35mm full-frame sensor, range of lenses, headphone jack, and XLR audio adaptor set a new lightweight filmmaking benchmark. And with the BIONZ X processor applying new area-specific noise reduction to video, even low-light documentary footage can look detailed and crisp.
Find the perfect expression for your vision with AVCHD5 at 60fps for an ultra-smooth look, or shoot 24p for classic cinema feel.
Attach external microphones via the XLR adaptor, meter recording levels, and monitor sound with the headphone jack.
To enable photographers to explore the limits of the α7R’s unrivaled potential, Sony designed a new set of E-mount lenses precisely for the internal geometries of the new full-frame range. In addition, previous-generation α owners can use the full range of E-mount lenses, or A-mounts with an adaptor for a professional range of 50+ lenses.
The α7R has two forms of wireless sharing capability built in; NFC One-touch allows image transfer with a single tap to any NFC-compatible smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Wi-Fi allows quick uploading from many locations.
