Product Description
Capture powerful contrasts and vivid colors with this Sony Alpha a7 II
mirrorless digital camera. It incorporates a full-frame 24.3-megapixel sensor
for impressive dynamic range and subtle gradations so that you take exceptional
images when using this full-frame camera in a wide range of lighting conditions.
It reduces artifacting across high ISO ranges, thanks to the BIONZ X image
processor, which also ensures accurate color rendering and produces a wide range
of effects. You can also set various parameters as profiles and enjoy the
benefits of wider dynamic range for lifelike images where the subject just pops.
This Sony Alpha a7 II mirrorless digital camera also lets you take vibrant
movies in full HD for a flexible recording device that meets your needs. Thanks
to the five-axis stabilization, this mirrorless digital camera reduces shake and
judder caused by small hand movements and the movements within the camera to
produce blur-free photos even when it's dark. You can even add a variety of
accessories to it to produce custom lighting scenarios and record sound more
effectively for ultimate creativity. Ultra-fast autofocus, diffraction-reducing
technologies and area-specific noise reduction help you create perfect photos
every time with this Sony Alpha a7 II mirrorless digital camera. Sony's new
compact a7II is the world's first interchangeable-lens camera to feature both
5-axis optical image stabilization (effective for all types of camera shake) and
a 35mm full-frame image sensor. The 7II can compensate for camera shake when
using not only E-mount lenses, but also A-mount and other lenses, allowing users
to fully take advantage of the maximum capabilities of their lenses. It also
expands the range of expression for handheld shooting. The
24.3-effective-megapixel 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor works together with a
BIONZ X image processing engine to deliver extremely high image quality when
shooting still images and movies. The 7II also offers a Fast Hybrid AF system
that is remarkably fast for a full-frame camera AF system. Its advanced tracking
performance captures your subject and doesn't let go. Other features include
versatile movie functions, Wi-Fi/NFC, PlayMemories Camera Apps and sophisticated
operability.
Full-frame, palm-sized. Perfection for all. Stability for all.
Breathtaking image quality meets unrivaled shooting freedom in the 7 II, the
world's first full-frame camera with 5-axis image stabilization. Now you can
fully express your vision with full-frame quality and cutting-edge camera shake
compensation compatible with wide-ranging lenses. But Sony didn't stop there.
Operation is incredibly intuitive and enhanced; Fast Hybrid AF delivers
lightning-fast focusing, super-wide coverage and tracking performance that
captures fast-moving subjects and doesn't let go. The liberating 7 II is packed
with innovation yet compact beyond compare, it frees you to shoot however you
like with confidence.
5-axis image stabilization
The remarkable new 5-axis image stabilization system dramatically expands
your range of expression by compensating for five types of camera shake during
handheld shooting of still images and movies. So you can confidently zoom in
faraway subjects, snap detailed close-ups and capture night scenes with minimal
camera shake blur. Since camera shake compensation is equivalent to using a
4.5-step faster shutter speed, you can also take advantage of a wider range of
shutter speeds. All this, within super compact dimensions!
High-performance Fast Hybrid AF
Sony's newly enhanced Fast Hybrid AF system delivers extremely high speed
response, highly accurate prediction and wide area coverage for autofocusing and
tracking you can always depend on. Remarkably fast for a full-frame camera AF
system, it ensures maximum speed by optimally employing phase detection or
contrast detection AF depending on the scene. Whenever fleeting photo
opportunities arise, you can always depend on state of the art Fast Hybrid AF.
WIDE Extensive coverage keeps AF right on track
Fast Hybrid AF smoothly tracks fast moving subjects nearly anywhere on the
screen thanks to a wide-area 117-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor.
When contrast-detection AF is employed, 25 high-speed, high precision
contrast-detection AF points ensure exceptional AF performance.
FAST AF captures your subject without fail
Autofocusing is amazingly fast. Just point, shoot and let Sony's
sophisticated Fast Hybrid AF system instantly capture your fast-moving subject
with razor-sharp clarity. Speedy phase-detection AF, highly accurate contrast
detection AF and high-speed BIONZ X image processing contribute to outstanding
AF performance, while a more advanced algorithm enhances the accuracy of subject
detection, leading to optimization of lens drive movement that results in a 30%
faster AF speed.
STEADFAST 5fps AF/AE shooting with accurate tracking
When your subject is moving fast, you can beautifully capture the decisive
moment with sharp, well-exposed results via 5fps continuous AF/AE shooting. A
dramatically improved algorithm accurately predicts subject movement so you can
steadfastly track the subject with 1.5x more accurate performance when shooting
continuously. 117 focal plane phase-detection AF points ensure accurate tracking
over a wide area for up to 77 frames (JPEG Fine L) at 5fps. Moreover, a
continuous AF Display lets you confirm which AF point is active.
35mm full-frame 24.3-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor
The 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS image sensor delivers beautiful images from
corner to corner and stunning 24.3-megapixel resolution that's ideal for
large-format prints. You'll enjoy low noise, an extremely wide dynamic range,
and amazingly rich and subtle gradations. Moreover, innovations that could only
be achieved by Sony (one of the world's leading image sensor developers)
reproduce details more faithfully so that every scene looks incredibly real.
BIONZ X image processing engine
The high-speed BIONZ X image processing engine faithfully reproduces
textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, via extra
high-speed processing capabilities. Together with front-end Large Scale
Integration that accelerates processing in the earliest stages, it enables more
natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations and lower noise
whether you shoot still images or movies.
Detail reproduction technology and diffraction-reducing technology
Detail reproduction technology depicts details more faithfully with a more
natural sense of dimension, while diffraction-reducing technology suppresses the
effects of diffraction to faithfully reproduce fine details even when shooting
at small aperture settings.
Area-specific noise reduction
Area-specific noise reduction selectively divides the image into areas based
on patterns (such as edges, textures and flat areas like blue skies), then
applies the most appropriate noise reduction for each area to markedly reduce
noise and achieve a new level of clarity.
Easy button customization
Button customization empowers you to shoot just the way you like, with
frequently used functions assigned to the customizable buttons of your choice.
You can easily assign any of 56 functions to any of 10 buttons to enjoy
speedier, more intuitive operation and maximum convenience.
High-contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder
The XGA OLED Tru-Finder offers faithful reproduction and impressive
visibility that contribute to stress-free, intuitive operation whether shooting
still images or movies. You can accurately monitor what will appear in your
final images because it faithfully displays the effects of your various camera
settings. Moreover, an advanced 3-lens optical system ensures rich tonal
gradation and extremely high contra
16-bit image processing and 14-bit RAW output
16-bit image processing and 14-bit RAW output help preserve maximum detail and
produce images of the highest quality with rich tonal gradations. The 14-bit RAW
(Sony ARW) format ensures optimal quality for later image adjustment (via Image
Data Converter or other software).
Enhanced grip and shutter button
The grip is refined in shape and height to support a more secure grasp of the
camera even when a large lens is mounted. This also contributes to more
confident operation of the shutter button and dials. Moreover, the shutter
button has been reshaped and shifted forward to enable more natural shooting
with less camera shake.
Meticulously crafted controls
Controls are refined for intuitive operation and immediate adjustment of
parameters while viewing scenes through the viewfinder. In particular, the front
and rear dials have been thoroughly refined and positioned with overall handling
in mind to enable easier, more efficient turning. It's a level of refinement
that surpasses even the renowned operability of other a7 series models.
