The Sony a7CR is a new compact high resolution full-frame mirrorless camera. Similar to Sony's excellent a7RV camera in a smaller form factor, this new camera has excellent specs for still and video photography.
Key features:
- 61MP BSI CMOS sensor
- Bionz XR processor and dedicated 'AI' processing unit
- Lossless Raw options in multiple sizes
- 8fps continuous shooting (7fps in e-shutter mode)
- Choice of JPEG or HEIF output (inc HLG HEIFs)
- 4K video up to 60p or oversampled 4K from APS-C crop
- 'Auto framing' video cropping modes
- Pixel-shift high-resolution modes with motion correction
- Single UHS-II SD card slot
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 a7R V – it delivers extraordinary resolution into new spaces.
Full-frame 61.0-megapixel 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.
Advanced 5-axis optical image stabilization with up to 7-steps of compensation
A high-precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimized image stabilization algorithms effectively detect and correct camera shake. 7.0-step in-body optical image stabilization is a huge advantage for handheld shooting. The new stabilization algorithm provides precise detection and control right down to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor’s 61.0-megapixel resolution to bring out the finest subject details.
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting responds to changing conditions
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting 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.
