Inkludert Alpha 7CR med 61MP¹ høyoppløselig sensor og Alpha 7C II med den nyeste stillbilde- og videoytelsen.

Sony lanserer to nye tillegg til α7C-serien med kompakte fullformatkameraer med utskiftbare objektiv, Alpha 7C II og Alpha 7CR.

Alpha 7C II er utstyrt med en fullformat bildesensor med omtrent 33,0 effektive megapiksler. Det har de nyeste stillbilde- og videofunksjonene, samt den nyeste ytelsen i et kompakt, lett design (ca. 12 cm bred, 7 cm høy og 6 cm dyp, med en vekt på ca. 513 gram). Det er andregenerasjonsversjonen av α7C-serien, som berømmes for sin kombinasjon av ytelse og funksjoner i en kompakt størrelse – perfekt for et bredt spekter av fotograferingsscenarier, som f.eks. reise- og gatefotografering.

Alpha 7CR er et nytt kompakt fullformatkamera med utskiftbart objektiv. Kameraet kan skilte med den høye oppløsningen og rike graderingsytelsen til en bildesensor i full størrelse med omtrent 61,0 effektive megapiksler – den samme sensoren som finnes i Alpha 7R V – integrert i en kompakt og lett kropp (liknende størrelse og vekt som Alpha 7C II², ca. 513 gram). I tillegg til daglige øyeblikksbilder, realiserer det enkelt bildeopptak av høy kvalitet i en lang rekke ulike innstillinger, som portrett-, dyrelivs- og landskapsfotografering, i tillegg til kombinasjonen av ekstremt høyoppløselige bilder og mobilitet og lett vekt.

Both models are equipped with the same AI-processing unit and BIONZ XR® processors found in Sony’s newest interchangeable lens cameras such as the Alpha 7R V and Alpha 6700. Real-time Recognition AF recognises a wide variety of subjects with high accuracy, and 5-axis in-body image stabilisation provides a seven-step shooting advantage when capturing stills. In terms of video performance, both models support high-quality 4:2:2 10-bit video recording up to 4K60p³, and both models support Sony’s acclaimed S-Cinetone color science for rich cinematic video. In addition, they have Active Mode in-body image stabilisation, AI-based auto-framing, digital-audio interface support, and other features that support high-quality video shooting.

“At Sony, we are consistently upping the ante for content creators. With the launch of the Alpha 7C II and Alpha 7CR, we are allowing creators of both stills and videos to have a new tool in their kit that allows for high-quality image performance in mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras,” says Yann Salmon-Legagneur, Head of Imaging Products & Solutions Marketing, Sony Europe. ​

As the demand for sending and sharing captured content on social media networks has increased, more creators are looking for a combination of compact size and high imaging performance in mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. With the introduction of the Alpha 7C II and Alpha 7CR, which both achieve high mobility and high-quality image expression in a compact size, Sony responds to the wide range of content expressions sought by creators.

Common Features of the Alpha 7C II and Alpha 7CR

​1. Compact size and high mobility

Both models are easy to handle and easy to carry. Compact size (both models are approximately 12.4 cm wide x 7 cm high x 6.4 cm deep) and weigh¹ approximately 513 grams for the Alpha 7C II and approximately 515 grams for the Alpha 7CR. When combined with the wide-angle zoom lens FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II announced today, it achieves the excellent image expression and high-speed AF that are unique to the G Master™ with the brightness of F2.8 at full zoom range. The user can choose their favorite lens from Sony's extensive E-mount series of more than 70 and enjoy a variety of image expressions unique to full size in both still images and movies.

2. AF performance with improved subject recognition performance thanks to the built-in AI processing unit

Equipped with the same AI-processing unit as the α7R V, it recognises subjects with high accuracy with Real-time Recognition AF. For example, when taking a picture of a person, even if the person takes a complicated pose or their face is hidden, the pose estimation technology can be used to capture and track the subject with high accuracy. In addition to the existing people and animals of the α7C series, it is now possible to recognise birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes as subjects that can be recognized with the same high accuracy.

3) Advanced video performance

The Alpha 7C II and Alpha 7CR condense high-resolution and detailed video data equivalent to 7K and 6K, respectively, and can output high-quality 4K video. Equipped with S-Log3, which supports a wide latitude of 14+ stops⁶, it renders rich gradation with little overexposure and underexposure even in scenes with contrast. Also, in Log shooting mode, the LUT imported by the user can be displayed on the camera monitor image, allowing the user to shoot while checking the finished image in post-production. In addition, it is equipped with the S-Cinetone™, a unique Sony feature which can create a cinematic look straight out of the camera without post-processing. Based on Sony's Cinema Line technology, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin color to deliver cinematic quality. It also features Creative Look, which allows you to easily change the look and feel of video and still images.

4) Operability and connectivity

Equipped with a touch-operable vari-angle LCD monitor, intuitive operation with the latest touch menu supports comfortable shooting. In addition to the front dial that allows the user to assign their favorite functions, the still image/movie/S&Q switch dial, and an XGA high-resolution viewfinder, etc., it is easy to use. It is equipped with a 7.0-step⁴ optical 5-axis in-body image stabilisation to support stable camera work.

In terms of connectivity, the camera is newly compatible with the smartphone application Creators' App⁷ that easily uploads videos and still images taken with the camera to a cloud service, allowing remote camera operation and image transfer from the camera to mobile devices.

​5) Designed with environmentally friendly principles in mind

Over the past 11 years, Sony has replaced approximately 395 tonnes⁸ of virgin plastic with recycled plastic in digital cameras and digital video cameras. Recycled materials, including SORPLAS™⁹, are used for the camera body, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing functionality. In addition to being equipped with Sony’s Screen Reader function¹⁰ that reads menus and video playback screens aloud to assist operations, a new menu Magnify Display function has been added to support the creative activities of a variety of creators.
