The Sony a7CR packs the astonishing performance of the a7R V into a compact, lightweight a7C-series body so you won't miss a single detail no matter where you go.
Unparalleled resolution in a compact and lightweight camera
The A7CR full-frame image sensor delivers fine subject detail in a compact, lightweight body. With a 61.0 effective megapixel, back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor – adapted from our acclaimed α7R V – it delivers extraordinary resolution into new spaces.
Full-frame 61.0-megapixel2 Exmor RTM image sensor
The back-illuminated sensor's noise reduction, gapless on-chip lenses, anti-reflection optical coating, elimination of the optical low-pass filter that is usually positioned in front of the sensor and other original technologies deliver high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range.
BIONZ XR™ processing power for exceptional image quality
The latest BIONZ XR image processing engine minimizes processing latency while boosting movie and still image processing power, delivering natural gradations, realistic color, low noise, superior image quality and fast menu response.
Dedicated AI Processor and Real-time Recognition for accurate subject tracking
The AI processing unit supports recognition of human subjects using learned human form and pose data, and also recognition of non-human subjects such as animals, insects, and vehicles. This improves the performance of Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking and makes Fast Hybrid AF subject acquisition and tracking more precise and reliable over a wider area.
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting responds to changing conditions
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting6 uses the precision in-body image stabilization system to capture multiple pixel-shifted images that are later composited on a PC to achieve overwhelming resolution in a single image. 16-image composites with approximately 240.8 million pixels (19008 x 12672 pixels) can be produced from data that is equivalent to approximately 963.2 million pixels.
Consistently accurate exposure and color reproduction
The advanced AI processing unit achieves accurate white balance even where the subject is in shade. Skin tones, foliage and other materials are reproduced with natural colors under almost any lighting, with lifelike gradations such as highlight roll-off in portraits.
Mobility for advanced, high-performance movie recording
The α7CR offers highly detailed 4K movie capture with 6.2K oversampling, plus the mobility required for gimbal or drone mounted shooting. It also features S-Cinetone™ for a cinematic look, Log shooting, Real-time Tracking with advanced subject recognition, Active Mode image stabilization, breathing compensation, and many more refinements.
Active Mode image stabilization supports handheld movie shooting
Active Mode provides precision stabilization for movie shooting with advanced gyro sensors and an optimized algorithm. Camera shake is precisely detected and compensated for, with additional stabilization provided via compatible lenses in sync with the camera body.
Advanced movie recording formats for simpler post-production
In-camera 10-bit 4:2:2 recording is available when using Long GOP or All-Intra compression, making it possible to color grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom.
Log recording and LUT handling for powerful creative possibilities
The α7CR features an S-Log3 gamma curve to maximize its 14+ stops of latitude. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine color gamut settings are also provided for further post processing control, and user-selected LUTs (Look Up Table) can be applied to preview how processed footage will look or to even record footage conveniently with a PP LUT already applied
S-Cinetone™ for a cinematic look without the need for post processing
Utilizing the color science from Sony’s highly regarded Cinema Line, Sony’s S-Cinetone picture profile delivers more faithful color reproduction and skin tones, with natural mid-tones essential to healthy-looking skin, plus soft colors and gorgeous highlights, giving creators a cinematic look without the need for color grading.
Wide-area, high-density autofocus with 693 phase detection
AF points The BIONZ XR engine and updated algorithms achieve notably improved Fast Hybrid AF performance. Up to 693 phase detection points cover approx. 79% of the image area, accurately acquiring focus even when the subject is small. The α7CR includes both phase-detection and contrast-detection AF to ensure fast, stable focus acquisition even in single AF (AF-S) mode.
Tenacious Real-time Tracking lets you concentrate on composition
AI-based Real-time Tracking can be activated by specifying the subject and half-pressing the shutter button. The camera automatically tracks the subject, letting the user concentrate on framing and composition. Subject recognition performance and tracking reliability have been greatly improved across a wider range of shooting situations.
Focus M33 and Peaking display assist for shooting video
Movie making is made simpler with the Focus Map function that allows you to visualize depth of field when recording video. Focus information is overlaid on the live view display in real time so that you can easily identify the in-focus and out-of-focus areas — particularly useful when shooting with a large-aperture to create a narrow depth of field. The camera also offers peaking display, making it possible to check auto and manual focus while recording.
