  • General
    • Product Name: Alpha a7R II Full-Frame Mirrorless 4k Video Camera (Body Only)
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: ILCE7RM2/B
    • Color: Black
    • Camera Model Family: Sony a7R II
    • Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
    • Total Pixels: 44 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Zoom Capability: false (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: Still images: 1/8000 - 30 sec.; Bulb; Movies: 1/8000 - 1/4 sec. (in 1/3 steps) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Burst Rate: 5 frames per second
    • Self Timer: true
    • Shooting Modes: AUTO (Auto), Programmed AE (P), Aperture priority (A), Shutter-speed priority (S), Manual (M), Movie (Programmed AE (P) / Aperture priority (A) / Shutter-speed priority (S) / Manual (M)) (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • Scene Modes: Portrait, landscape, macro sports action and more (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent, color temperature and filter, custom, underwater (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 42.4 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: false (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
  • Flash
    • Integrated Flash: false
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 1,228,800 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
    • Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
  • Video
    • Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
    • HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)

Whats Included
  • Alpha a7R II Full-Frame Mirrorless 4k Video Camera (Body Only)
  • Owner's manual
  • Rechargeable battery (NP-FW50)

Q: Lense compatility

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

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

Q: Is this camera compatible with WI-FI? Dont see thewifi print on the camera side Also whats the difference from full framecamera and DSLR camera

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.

Q: If I use the adapter with my a mount lenses, will the files still be 42 megapixels or will they be smaller?

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.
