A: I use Canon lenses with a7rII. I use a Metabones IV adapter and the autofocus transfers well.
Q: What is the difference between a mirrorless and a mirror camera?
A: Compact system cameras or mirrorless camera don’t have a mirror to bounce light from the lens up into a pentaprism or pentamirror unlike DSLR. Mirrorless camera also do not require mechanical movements, an electronic shutter usually enables faster shutter speeds than a normal shutter curtain found in DSLR. Regards, Zander
A: Yes, this is the A7rII with the backlit sensor.
Q: Does the Alpha A7R II use FAT32? If so, are videos limited to the 4GB file size?
A: Hi Fred, I'm not 100% sure about Fat32 The file formats (per owners manual) are XAVC S 4K XAVC S HD AXCHD MP 4 File size: AVCHD Format= 2GB MP4= 4GB I use my a7Rii for photo only. Last year I needed to record lots of video for a week long event with music and I needed to be able to record more than 29 minutes at a time. The sales person at Best Buy recommended I go with the Sony FDR-AX53 Handy Cam 4K. It worked out really well. I also bought (not at Best Buy) a Rode Stereo Video Mic Pro to go on the hot shoe of the handy cam and I couldn't have been more happy with the results. Your wants and needs may be different than mine. Hope any or all of this helps.
Q: Can I use my different Sony APS-C lenses (E-mount) that I bought for my Nex-6 ?
A: Yes you can. You'll still get the aps-c crop picture and not a full frame shot like the camera offers though.
Q: What is the file format of this camera for the still images?
A: Hi Oh, the only two format available are RAW and JPEG. The RAW files will show .ARW at the end of the filename and the JPEG one will show .JPG . These settings can be change here : https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1520/v1/en/contents/TP0001087232.html?search=jpeg
A: Yes, it has wifi. The sensor is "full frame" in the sense that it's the same size as 35mm film, and has absolutely no relationship to a dslr except that many dslrs also contain "full frame" sensors. The notable difference between this camera and a dslr is that this camera contains no mirror. The viewfinder is electronic. It is an excellent camera, but it is mirrorless, so you might want to research a bit to make sure it's right for you and your needs.
A: Hi Chelly, the files will still be 42 megapixels since the adapter allows the a-mount lenses to be used on the camera body and does not affect the image megapixels captured through the camera sensor.
