Description
Express Yourself to the Fullest
Powerful performance and stunning image quality
Despite the small dimensions of the camera body, which is the smallest and lightest in the world, the a7C delivers stunning image quality, both in still images and movies, expected from a full-frame camera. Fast, wide, and stable autofocus, ultra-fast continuous shooting, and a user-friendly multi-angle LCD screen, to capture the action wherever it happens.
Make a difference with a larger sensor
The full-frame sensor makes it possible to capture stunning images, unique to this format. The a7C's sensor is twice the size of sensors in APS-C bodies of similar dimensions and up to 30 times larger than a smartphone sensor, for impressive images with greater depth and detail.
Compact size, easy handling
The α7C was designed to be small, lightweight, and easy to carry, without compromising on the authentic performance of full-frame cameras. This goal was achieved through the development of new mechanical components, such as a space-saving shutter and an optical stabilization unit, as well as through improvements in layout and structure.
Enjoy Full-Frame Supremacy
The full-frame sensor of the α7C not only captures more light. It enhances image depth, dynamic range, and detail, thanks to the large sensor and pixel size.
Capture all the beauty of the world
The 24.2 MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor works with Sony's BIONZ X™ system for exceptional colors and 15-stop dynamic range, capturing detail and smooth transitions in all lighting conditions, both in photos and movies.
Stunning images even at high shutter speed or low light
The pixel sizes of the sensor offer an increased signal-to-noise ratio, for beautiful images with more detail in shadows and textures. Noise reduction is particularly effective at high and medium ISO sensitivities for subjects in fast motion or low light. The ISO100-51200 extends to ISO50-204800.

Turn truly artistic films, with the exceptional control, image quality, and realism of full-frame
4K Recording for Beautiful Movies
The shallow depth of field provides beautiful background defocusing effects (bokeh). The full pixel readout, without pixel binning, offers supersampling equivalent to 6K recording, for a clear image with less moiré and reduced jagged edges.
Greater expressive capability with S-Log, HLG, and picture profiles
The S-Log3 captures a wide dynamic range of 14 stops, providing rich details in shadows and highlights during post-production. The HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) facilitates immediate playback and work with HDR, and the picture profile offers a variety of image capture settings.
Capture the action as it happens, with beautiful detail
The latest technology in autofocus and continuous shooting capability ensure that you won't miss the critical shot in a fraction of a second. The a7C optical image stabilization unit remains steady and blur-free, both in photos and movies.
The precise AF quickly finds the subject and keeps it steadily in focus
The α7C leverages the same advancements in AF as the α9, with the unique 4D FOCUS for fast subject detection and stable tracking over a wide area. The 693 phase-detection autofocus points cover approximately 93% of the image.
You won't miss a moment with fast-moving subjects
For better capture of moving subjects, the a7C shoots in continuous bursts up to 10 fps with AF/AE tracking and up to 8 fps in live view mode. With silent shooting at up to 10 fps with AF/AE tracking.
Reliable Subject Tracking
Intelligent Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF by Sony
Reliable subject tracking means better portraits. As with previous models, you aim at the subject and press the custom shutter button halfway to start Real-time Eye AF. The a7C also features a new function where Real-time Tracking is activated by pressing the AF-ON button, even when not in AF-C mode. Focus is maintained even with the face partially in shadow or when the subject is wearing glasses.
Animal portraits in perfect focus
Real-time Eye AF for animals tracks and focuses on animal eyes
Successful shots of pets and other animals are much easier with advanced algorithm-based AF. Fast and accurate automatic detection and tracking of animals' eyes, instead of their nose or whiskers, keeps everything in sharp focus. Just leave it to the camera. It is reliable, even if an obstacle appears or if the camera's horizontal/vertical orientation changes.
Reliable still shots and handheld movies
Zoom, get close-ups, and capture night scenes more clearly
The 5-axis in-body image stabilization of the α7C compensates for five types of camera shake without loss of quality, even without a gimbal or in the dark. These are: [1, 2] angular shake (pitch/yaw) typically experienced with a telephoto lens, [3, 4] shift shake (along the X and Y axes), noticeable when magnification is increased, and [5] rotational shake (rotation around the Z axis), which affects night shots and videos.
Full-frame image quality for filmmakers
The side-opening multi-angle screen of the α7C offers easy viewing when, for example, a microphone is attached, a gimbal is used, or when shooting from various positions. Additionally, the headphone and microphone jacks allow you to use your favorite equipment, and thanks to the high-capacity battery, you can shoot for extended periods. Overall, the α7C is ideally equipped for vloggers and other types of creators.
Easy Movie Production
Small, lightweight, and portable, even with optional grip accessories
The LCD screen opens from the side for super easy self-vlog shooting, the optional grip and microphone combination is perfect for wireless vlogging, and digital microphone support offers crystal clear sound. Additionally, the popular vertical video format is supported, using metadata that allows playback and editing in the vertical position of shots recorded vertically, without the need to rotate them first.
