Sony’s a7CR Mirrorless Camera packs exceptional power into a compact frame. It combines a 61MP full-frame sensor with a BIONZ XR processor, delivering professional image quality in a portable design.
**61MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor and BIONZ XR Processor**
The a7CR features a 61MP Full-Frame Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, offering outstanding resolution, clarity, low noise, and a wide 15-stop dynamic range. It captures up to 8 fps with the mechanical shutter and 7 fps with the electronic shutter at full resolution. In JPEG mode, it can shoot over 1000 frames in a burst. The sensor’s structure improves data transmission speed for 14-bit, 61MP stills with a native ISO range of 100-32000, expandable to 50-102400.
**Enhanced Processing**
The BIONZ XR processor delivers up to 8x more processing power than previous generations, enhancing overall performance, image quality, and enabling AI tasks and intelligent AF. It minimizes rolling shutter distortion for smoother motion capture.
**Pixel Shift Multi Shooting**
This mode combines sensor-shift stabilization with 16 exposures, creating a 240.8MP composite image with improved color accuracy and detail. Post-production merging is possible using Sony Imaging software.
**Precise Exposure and Color**
AI algorithms like Human Pose Estimation optimize exposure for portraits, even in challenging lighting. Deep learning technology and IR sensors enhance color accuracy and white balance.
**Image Stabilization**
The 5-axis optical image stabilization system offers seven stops of shake compensation, aided by an AI Processing Unit for stable framing. This allows using any lens, including adapted ones, without blur.
**Next-Gen AI-Based Autofocus**
The AI Processing Unit enhances subject tracking and recognition. Real-time Recognition AF supports seven target types, including human, animal, bird, insect, car/train, airplane, and real-time tracking. Fast Hybrid AF covers 79% of the frame and works in all modes, with full-time DMF and continuous AF tracking at 10 fps. In-camera focus bracketing records up to 299 frames.
**AF During Video**
Real-time Eye AF tracks human, animal, and bird eyes during video. Focus Map visualizes depth of field, AF Assist enables quick manual focus adjustments, and Focus Breathing compensation ensures smooth focus transitions.
**Video Recording**
The camera records 4K video at 60 fps in 10-bit 4:2:2 using XAVC S-I, with 16-bit raw output via HDMI. Super 35 mode offers full pixel readout at up to UHD 4K at 30p. High-speed 120 fps recording is available in Full HD. S-Log3, S-Gamut3.Cine, S-Cinetone, and Creative Looks provide versatile color grading options. User-created LUTs and presets support accurate monitoring.
**Body Design and Connectivity**
The camera includes a front command dial for enhanced control. It supports USB output for streaming, has built-in Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headphone and microphone ports, a 2.36m-dot OLED EVF, a vari-angle 3.0″ touchscreen, and accepts Z batteries. Its magnesium alloy body is dust and moisture-sealed for durability.
