Camera Overview
The Sony a7 IV is a versatile powerhouse that excels in both photography and videography. This advanced hybrid mirrorless camera delivers high-resolution stills and cutting-edge autofocus for photographers while offering impressive 4K 60p video recording, making it an ideal choice for filmmakers and content creators alike. Perfect for those who need exceptional performance across the board.
Sensor & Processor
The Sony a7 IV is equipped with a newly developed 33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS full-frame sensor, designed for high clarity, reduced noise, and vibrant color reproduction. The back-illuminated architecture enhances performance in low-light conditions and offers a wide ISO range of 100-51200. With an impressive dynamic range of approximately 15 stops, the a7 IV ensures exceptional detail and tonal gradation. Capture in raw, JPEG, or 10-bit HEIF format for flexible post-production.
4K 60p Video Recording in 10-Bit
Harnessing the power of its 33MP sensor and advanced processing, the Sony a7 IV delivers UHD 4K 30p XAVC HS 10-bit video using the sensor’s full width, with 7K oversampling for exceptional sharpness and detail. You can also capture oversampled 4K video via a Super 35 crop from a 4.6K area, offering UHD 4K at up to 60p in 10-bit. With no recording time limits, you can shoot extended clips, and the camera's improved heat management system enables continuous 4K 60p 10-bit 4:2:2 recording for over an hour.
Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF
Drawing from Sony's flagship autofocus system, the a7 IV features advanced subject tracking and eye detection for fast, precise focusing:
Real-time Tracking uses AI to recognize color, patterns, and subject distance, ensuring highly accurate and rapid focus on your subject.
Real-time Eye AF goes further by locking onto the eyes of humans, animals, and birds for pinpoint sharpness. It maintains focus even when subjects briefly leave the frame and return, making it perfect for dynamic and unpredictable shooting scenarios.
