The α7R VI offers extraordinary 66.8 MP1 resolution, 16-stops dynamic range, incredible image quality, and 30fps blackout-free burst speed, thanks to advanced imaging technology refined by feedback from discerning creators. A full system upgrade pushes performance to unprecedented heights.
The first in the α7R series to feature a fully-stacked Exmor RS image sensor, the A7R VI delivers enhanced image quality with readout speeds up to 5.6x faster*2. Take your shooting to the next level with 30 fps bursts at full resolution*3, 4K 60p without cropping, expanded dynamic range, and reliable low-light AF.
The BIONZ XR2 engine with an integrated AI processing unit delivers dramatic improvements in image and sound quality, power management, and responsiveness. High-speed processing enables up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second,*4 blackout-free shooting, and 8K video, while the integrated AI processing unit enhances subject recognition and illumination estimation for unprecedented shooting support.
Up to 16 stops of dynamic range*6 at low sensitivities supports HDR processing. Outstanding resolution and high sensitivity capture stunning imagery throughout the ISO 100-32000 range. *7 Noise in night scenes is also reduced.
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 color reproduction in a wide variety of scenes.
Superb stabilization performance maximizes resolution, preventing degradation due to blur. Stabilization is even more effective with compatible lenses*10, and telephoto lens shake is also effectively suppressed.
[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.
Extended RAW*12 offers two image-enhancing functions: [Extended Hi-Res], which boosts the pixel count of captured images by a factor of four to approximately 270 MP, and [Extended NR] for high noise reduction with full resolution.
Shoot bursts at up to 30 fps*3 at full 66.8 MP*1 resolution, with AF/AE tracking and no viewfinder blackout. Up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second*4 effortlessly track even complex subject movement. Plus, with the upgraded BIONZ XR2 processing engine and CFexpress Type A card support, capture up to 215 JPG and 65 Compressed (HQ) RAW images continuously*13.
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*15 after the initial half-press.
During continuous burst shooting, press an assigned custom button to change the shooting speed — for example, from 10 fps to 30 fps*16 — when the key moment approaches. This feature can be used even while shooting single frames.
The A7R VI utilizes 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.
Recognition of distant animals and birds has been significantly improved. Choose from Human, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, or Airplane*17 mode, or let Auto detect the subject type*18. Even when Subject Recognition is turned off, Sony’s original algorithm processes multiple data points for reliable tracking.
Fast readout and processing deliver notably improved AF. 759*19 phase detection points cover about 94% of the image area for precise focusing for shooting stills, even when the subject is small in the frame.
Enjoy reliable AF at light levels as low as EV-6*20, or EV-11*21 with Bright Monitoring enabled. The AF can also be limited to long-distance ranges for shooting low-light distant scenes*22.
Equipped with an upgraded image sensor and processing engine, the A7R VI is capable of 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) 60p and high frame rate 4K 120p recording without cropping*26. 4:2:2 color sampling and 10-bit depth further support high video quality*27.
8K 30p*28*29 movies can be recorded in XAVC HS format with 8.2K oversampling offering spectacular resolution. This is further enhanced by precision AF performance, along with natural gradations and colors. 8K also supports 4:2:2 10-bit recording.
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. *30
The optional XLR-A4 Adaptor enables 96 kHz / 32bit float audio recording. This delivers a wide dynamic range via the Multi Interface (MI) ShoeTM, which supports a digital audio interface. This high-quality audio offers greater flexibility during editing.
Retaining the class-leading*37 9.44-million-dot resolution*38 of its predecessor, the A7R VI upgrades to an OLED electronic viewfinder with a DCI-P3-equivalent color gamut, 10-bit depth, and up to 3x*39 the luminance. Enjoy clear, smooth viewing even in bright outdoor conditions or when shooting HLG stills.
Sony’s 4-axis multi-angle monitor swings up, down, and sideways, and is easily adjustable for the optimum viewing angle. The 3.2-type 2.1 million dot LCD panel is touch sensitive and has a DCI-P3-equivalent color gamut, displaying clear, natural images.
Illuminated rear-panel buttons allow easy status checks and smooth operation even in very dark conditions. Button illumination can be turned on via the top-panel Backlight button.
An upgraded high-capacity 2670 mAh battery supplies power for up to 600/710 stills (viewfinder/monitor)*40. Advanced power management greatly improves battery life, and battery health information is provided.
