Sony Alpha 7C Full-Frame Compact Mirrorless Camera - Silver - Body Only

The Sony Alpha 7C Full-frame Compact Mirrorless Camera is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera without compromise. Featuring 24.2MP backside illuminated sensor, Full HD 4K movie/video with full-pixel readout, a flip-out LCD and a 5-axis in-body image stabilization. The Sony Alpha 7C Full-frame Compact Mirrorless Camera has something for everyone, making it an ideal choice for every photographer on the go and for content creators vlogging, or creating short films.

World’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera

The Sony Alpha 7C Full-frame Compact Mirrorless Camera is for creators who demand full-frame quality and performance, but also want a compact lightweight camera they can take anywhere and use for all types of still and video creation. Introducing the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera with all the power and performance of a full-frame in a design more akin to APS-C bodies.

Thanks to newly developed devices and construction, including a compact electromagnetic-drive shutter mechanism, a compact 5-axis in-body image stabilization unit and a monocoque magnesium alloy construction, the Alpha 7C redefines the norms of what a full-frame camera can be. Furthermore, the Alpha 7C with a FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 kit lens becomes the world's smallest and lightest full-frame camera and lens system.

Advanced 24.2MP Back-Illuminated 35mm Full-frame Image Sensor

The Alpha 7C features a 35mm full-frame 24.2MP back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor with front-end LSI and an updated BIONZ X™ processing-engine in the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera. It achieveshigh sensitivity and low-noise with an impressive ISO range of ISO 50 –204800 and massive 15-stop dynamic range. Images are processed in 16-bit form by the front-end LSI and BIONZ X processor before being output as 14-bit RAW data for improved expression of gradations from shadows to highlights. Full-pixel readout movie is oversampled from 6k and reordered as incredible 4K with no line-skipping, pixel-binning or cropping.

4K Movie w/ full pixel readout, no pixel binning and HDR4

The Alpha 7C is exceptionally capable as a video camera, offering 4K (3840x2160 pixels) video recording across the full width of the full-frame image sensor. In video mode, it uses full pixel readout without pixel binning to collect approx. 2.4x the amount of data required for 4K movies, and then oversamples it to produce high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth. Both S-Log2 and S-Log3 are available for increased color grading flexibility, while HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) is included to support an Instant HDR (High Dynamic Range) workflow. The Alpha 7C can also record Full HD at 120 fps at up to 100 Mbps, allowing footage to be reviewed and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow motion video files in Full HD resolution.

Incredible 4D FOCUS ™

Incredible autofocus is achieved with 693 focal-plane phase-detection AF points that cover approximately 93% of the image area and 425 contrast AF points. When combined, both contrast and phase detection AF points form the 4D FOCUS ™ hybrid AF system for wide, fast, reliable AF that locks on and stays locked on. This fast hybrid AF system can handle a huge volume of data at high speed, snapping rapidly into focus and takes full advantage of Sony’s acclaimed AI technology with Realtime AF Tracking and Realtime Eye AF for both stills and movie. It even includes Realtime Eye AF for animals.

Real-time Autofocus Tracking

Real-time AF Tracking is a state-of-the-art feature that employs artificial intelligence (A)Ito tenaciously track moving subjects when shooting stills or movies. Real-time Trackingis initiatedautomatically whenthe shutter button is half-pressedor with AF On button. The subject to be tracked can also be specified by touching it on the monitor when the Touch Tracking function is engaged. An advanced subject recognition algorithm uses color, pattern (brightness), and subject distance (depth) data to process spatial information in real time. If the subject is a person, AI is used to detect and keep track of the subject’s eye and face in real time for extremely high tracking precision. The focus area will seamlessly change between face and eye according to the condition of the subject.

Real-time Eye AF (Human)

Real-time Eye AF employs artificial intelligence to detect and process eye data in real time and track the subject’s eye with unprecedented precision. This function can be activated via an assigned custom key, or by simply pressing the AF-ON button or half-pressing the shutter button. Whenused with the Real-time Tracking function, tracking will continue even if the camera is temporarily unable to locate the subject’s eye, so it is easier than ever to shoot dynamic portraits of moving subjects. In addition to automatic eye selection when using Eye AF, it is also possible to manually preselect the subject’s right or left eye.This function works for both stills and movies.

Real-time Eye AF (Animals)

Advanced AI-based subject recognition technology now allows fast, precise, automatic detection and tracking of animal eyes. This new capability can vastly increase success rates when photographing animals in a variety of settings or pets at home. Real-time Eye AF animal mode can be initiated either by pressing an assigned custom button or by half-pressing the shutter button.

Side-opening vari-angle monitor

Ideal for Vlogging and easy composition, the Alpha 7C features a 3” (3.0 type) 921K(approx.) touch-sensitive LCD panel with side-opening vari-angle mechanism that affords plenty of monitor positioning freedom for high and low viewpoints as well as waist-level, vertical, and selfie positions. Rotating sideways by as much as 176°, up by as much as 180°, and down by as much as 90°, and with ample brightness that provide optimum visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. In addition,it supports Touch Tracking and Touch Focus functions.

Compact 5-axis in-body image stabilization

A newly developed 5-axis in-body image stabilization unit has achieved a substantial size reduction yet maintains an effective 5-step stabilization. Camera shake is detected and effectively compensated for in 5 axes: angular shake (pitch/yaw) that has the biggest impact on image quality and tends to increase at longer focal lengths, X/Y shift that is most apparent in high magnification macro shots, and rotational shake (roll) that can ruin night shots and movies. The 5-axis in-body image stabilization allows you to shoot images and capture video free from worry about camera shake, regardless of lens attached and without a tripod or gimbal.
