World’s smallest and lightest 1full-frame camera
The Alpha 7C is for creators who demand full-frame quality and performance, but also want a compact lightweight camera they can take anywhere and use for all types of still and video creation. Introducing the world’s smallest and lightest 1 full-frame camera 1 with all the power and performance of a full-frame in a design more akin to APS-C bodies.
Full-frame performance, made compact
Advanced 24.2MP 2 Back-Illuminated 35mm Full-frame Image Sensor
The Alpha 7C is for creators who demand full-frame quality and performance, but also want a compact lightweight camera they can take anywhere and use for all types of still and video creation.
4K Movie 3 w/ full pixel readout, no pixel binning and HDR4
The Alpha 7C is exceptionally capable as a video camera, offering 4K3 (3840x2160 pixels) video recording across the full width of the full-frame image sensor. In video mode, it uses full pixel readout without pixel binning to collect approx. 2.4x the amount of data required for 4K movies, and then oversamples it to produce high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth.
Incredible 4D FOCUS ™
Incredible autofocus is achieved with 693 focal-plane phase-detection AF points that cover approximately 93% of the image area and 425 contrast AF points. When combined, both contrast and phase detection AF points form the 4D FOCUS ™ hybrid AF system for wide, fast, reliable AF that locks on and stays locked on.
Uncompromising quality for stills and movies
Enjoy sample movie shot on Alpha 7C (Shot in S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine and HLG2/BT.2020 and graded). With Alpha 7C’s compactness and full-frame image sensor, full-frame quality movie is now portable anywhere, at your service.
Real-time Autofocus Tracking
Real-time AF Tracking is a state-of-the-art feature that employs artificial intelligence (A)I to tenaciously track moving subjects when shooting stills or movies. Real-time Tracking is initiated automatically when the shutter button is half-pressed or with AF On button.
Real-time Eye AF (Human)
Real-time Eye AF employs artificial intelligence to detect and process eye data in real time and track the subject’s eye with unprecedented precision. This function can be activated via an assigned custom key, or by simply pressing the AF-ON button or half-pressing the shutter button.
Real-time Eye AF (Animals) 8
Advanced AI-based subject recognition technology now allows fast, precise, automatic detection and tracking of animal eyes8. This new capability can vastly increase success rates when photographing animals in a variety of settings or pets at home.
Movie-making with room for creativity
Side-opening vari-angle monitor
Ideal for Vlogging and easy composition, the Alpha 7C features a 3” (3.0 type) 921K (approx.) touch-sensitive LCD panel with side-opening vari-angle mechanism that affords plenty of monitor positioning freedom for high and low viewpoints as well as waist-level, vertical, and selfie positions.
Compact 5-axis in-body image stabilization
A newly developed 5-axis in-body image stabilization unit has achieved a substantial size reduction yet maintains an effective 5-step9 stabilization. Camera shake is detected and effectively compensated for in 5 axes: angular shake (pitch/yaw) that has the biggest impact on image quality and tends to increase at longer focal lengths, X/Y shift that is most apparent in high magnification macro shots, and rotational shake (roll) that can ruin night shots and movies.
Up to 10fps 10 with Silent 11 or Mechanical Shutter
To capture those fleeting and definitive moments, the Alpha 7C is equipped with a fast shutter mechanism and refined image processing system that allows it to capture full 24.2MP2 images at up to 10 fps10 with continuous and accurate AF/AE (autofocus and auto exposure) tracking.
Long Z-battery life extendable via USB power supply
Power can be supplied through a USB Type-C® connector, allowing external power sources like mobile batteries to extend recording time. A battery must be installed in the camera when supplying USB power and may still drain even if USB power is supplied, depending on the adapter used and camera operating conditions.
Touch Tracking for movies
Touch Tracking is beneficial for movie recording. Simply touch the subject to be tracked on the monitor, and the Real-time Tracking function will use color, pattern (brightness), distance (depth), and face information to precisely and smoothly track the selected subject at the specified sensitivity and speed.
The detail of 4K 2, the beauty of HDR 3
Advanced AI-based subject recognition technology now allows fast, precise, automatic detection and tracking of animal eyes8. This new capability can vastly increase success rates when photographing animals in a variety of settings or pets at
Compact shutter mechanism
The compactness of the body is aided by the inclusion of the newly developed shutter unit which adopts aa electromagnetic-drive and carbon fiber shutter curtain that provides lightness and increased rigidity.
Imaging Edge Mobile app compatible 15
Easily connect the camera to a compatible smartphone or tablet15 in order to control the camera remotely or transfer movies and still images directly to the connected device. Even when the camera power is OFF, images stored in the camera can be viewed on and transferred to the smartphone
Advanced AF transition and sensitivity settings
Inherited from Sony’s professional large-format FX9 camcorder and Alpha 7S III, [AF Transition Speed] and [AF Subject Shift Sensitivity] parameters allow more detailed AF control. [AF Transition Speed] provides 7speed settings and is ideal for creating rack focus effects to effectively guide the viewers’ eye.
Wireless tethering (PC Remote for Professional Workflow)
Wireless connectivity and PC Remote shooting let the photographer move around with fewer restrictions for a smoother, more efficient setup and workflow. The ability to connect the camera and computer via 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi 16 provides the versatility, reliability, and speed needed to transfer image data to the computer while shooting images in continuous mode.
