Pre-Capture for key moments prior to shutter release

Capture the decisive moment — even after it happens. Half-press the shutter button to set focus, then fully press to record a burst of images from 0.03 to 1 second after the initial half-press. This function captures full-frame, full-resolution RAW images even when shooting 30 fps bursts.

Improved subject recognition performance

Recognition of distant animals and birds has been significantly improved. Choose from Human, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, or Airplane mode, or let Auto detect the subject type. Even when Subject Recognition is turned off, Sony’s original algorithm processes multiple data points for reliable tracking.

Enhanced Real-time Recognition AF+ for more tenacious human tracking

The α7R VI utilises the latest human pose estimation technology for improved recognition and tracking. It accurately maintains focus on the desired subject in a group or when a distant subject is small in the frame, even when the subject is moving.

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.

Full-frame 4K 60p video without cropping

Equipped with an upgraded image sensor and processing engine, the α7R VI is capable of 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) 60p and high frame rate 4K 120p recording without cropping. 4:2:2 colour sampling and 10-bit depth further support high video quality.

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.

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 colours. 8K also supports 4:2:2 10-bit recording.

Dual Gain Shooting offers editing flexibility

Leveraging the sensor’s tonal range, Dual Gain Shooting delivers wider latitude with detailed shadows, low noise, and smooth video gradations for enhanced editing flexibility.

In-camera audio processing

Whether recording via the internal or an external microphone, Audio Noise Reduction — with Noise Cut and Wind Noise Reduction modes— uses digital processing to reduce background, wind, and lens noise.
