  • Approx. 94% AF coverage for extra framing freedom
    Fast readout and processing deliver notably improved AF. 759 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.
     
  • Precise AF in low light
    Enjoy reliable AF at light levels as low as EV-6*20, or EV-21 with Bright Monitoring enabled. The AF can also be limited to long-distance ranges for shooting low-light distant scenes
     
  • Flexible focus area settings
    Choose from XL, L, M, S, and XS spot focus area sizes, or create a custom vertical focus area. The XS setting assists focusing on the subject when objects are in the foreground.
     
  • Temporarily switch from AF to MF with Full Time DMF
    When shooting stills with AF, rotating the lens’s focus ring temporarily switches to manual focus for fine-tuning or shifting the focus to the desired subject.
     
  • Optimum focus on difficult subjects with Focus Bracketing
    Up to 299 images are automatically shot at specified focus increments. The best focus can then be selected, or the images can be composited in post-production for extreme depth of field.
     
  • Flicker-free images in artificial light
    Anti-flicker Shooting prevents exposure and color variations caused by artificial lighting, and High-frequency Flicker-free Shooting adjusts the shutter speed for best results in LED-lit settings.
     
  • Full-frame 4K 60p video without cropping
    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. 4:2:2 color sampling and 10-bit depth further support high video quality.
     
  • 8K movies for spectacular resolution
    8K 30p 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.
