Sony a7R IVA 61MP Mirrorless Digital Camera

Sony a7R IVA 61MP Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

The Sony a7R IVA 61MP Mirrorless Camera continues the notable line of extremely capable full-frame cameras, distinguished by exceptional stills and video performance and adaptability, and moves to a higher resolution area. The a7R 4th generation has an upgraded 61MP sensor, quicker processing, enhanced AF performance, and a more well-rounded feature set for both high-end picture and video applications. The newly built full-frame 61MP Exmor R CMOS sensor with a back-illuminated architecture gives amazing resolution with great clarity, low noise, and a broad 15-stop dynamic range. The shape of the sensor supports exceptional picture quality, and a copper wire layer substantially boosts data transfer speed for capturing 14-bit, high-resolution 61MP stills with a base sensitivity range of ISO 100-32000, which can be increased to ISO 50-102400.

BIONZ X Image Processor

The Sony a7R IVA Mirrorless Camera’s BIONZ X engine’s high-speed image processing enables the quick continuous shooting, 4K video recording, and improved AF tracking. The rapid processing also aids in the reduction of rolling shutter and other motion aberrations for the clear portrayal of moving subjects. In terms of shooting rates, the sensor and CPU enable up to 10 fps shooting at full resolution for up to 68 consecutive frames, with full-time AF/AE.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting

This unique compositing mode allows you to achieve even greater resolution than the 61MP sensor affords. Working in conjunction with the sensor-shift image stabilization, this mode shifts the sensor while making 16 consecutive exposures to acquire approximately 240.8MP of information for greater color accuracy and detail than possible with a single exposure, along with an impressive image size of 19,008 x 12,672 pixels. These files can then be merged during post-production by using the Sony Imaging software suite.

Fast Hybrid AF System

An updated Fast Hybrid AF system now employs a combination of 567 phase-detection points, which cover approximately 99.7% of the height and 74% of the width of the frame, along with 425 contrast-detection areas for reliable and quick autofocus and subject tracking performance. This focusing system also achieves especially quick speed and reliable tracking, as well as enhanced low-light focusing response down to -3 EV. The apt focus system also lends itself to a variety of focusing functions for refined accuracy, including Lock-on AF, which maintains focus on moving subjects throughout the use of a configurable frame that is set over the desired moving subject and Expand Flexible Spot, which employs neighboring focus points to retain focus on moving subjects even if the originally selected point loses focus. Additionally, Eye AF can be used to base focus on recognized human subjects’ eyes for portraits and is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes, for both stills and video. Eye AF can be used when photographing animal subjects, too, with any focusing mode when shooting stills. Autofocus can also be used in conjunction with the Focus Magnifier function for critical focus when homing in on minute subject details. The rear touchscreen can also be used for Touch Focus control, and a Touchpad Focus Control mode lets you use the rear screen intuitively while keeping your eye on the viewfinder.

5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE Image Stabilization

The Sony a7R IVA includes a 5.5-stop effective 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization technology that adjusts for five different forms of camera shaking experienced during handheld stills and video shooting. This enables users to comfortably utilize any lens, even adapted lenses, for important images without experiencing blur caused by camera motion. The device will compensate for pitch and yaw modifications for extended focal lengths. The incorporation of horizontal and vertical shift correction, on the other hand, will assist macro and high-magnification pictures. The roll adjustment will be useful for all shooting techniques. Even when using third-party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilization, all 5 axes of stabilization will operate at all times.

UHD 4K Video Recording in XAVC S Format

The Sony a7R IVA Mirrorless Camera has Internal recording of UHD 4K movies is supported at several frame rates up to 30 fps and, based on the Super35mm recording area and effective 6K resolution, oversampling produces additional detail and complete pixel readout is feasible, allowing for a higher quality picture with decreased moiré and aliasing. Full-frame 4K recording has also been significantly enhanced for increased quality while working at mid to high sensitivities, allowing full utilization of the sensor width. Full HD 1080p recording at frame rates up to 120 fps is also possible, and both resolutions use the 100 Mbps XAVC S codec housed behind an MP4 wrapper with 4:2:0 sampling. The 120 fps recording speed also allows for 4x and 5x slow-motion video recording at 30p or 24p frame rates. Uncompressed HDMI output permits the use of an optional external recorder for clean 4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling in addition to high-resolution internal recording. 4K video recording also allows for the creation of 8MP stills during playback by capturing a frame from a movie and saving it as a separate file.

Body Design and Connectivity

An upgraded UXGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF with a 5.76m-dot resolution is included, and a dedicated High-quality preset offers a 120 fps refresh rate for extremely smooth playback of moving subjects. In addition to the EVF, a 3.0″ 2.36m-dot rear LCD with a touch panel design is provided for simple operation and focusing adjustment. In addition, the screen tilts upward 107° and downward 41° to facilitate working from high and low angles. While staying lightweight, the magnesium alloy chassis ensures stiffness, longevity, and stability. The lens attachment has also been modified to help accommodate heavier lenses, as has the grip stiffness for more comfortable hand-holding. Extensive weather-sealing has been used to withstand dust and moisture for dependable operation in extreme weather situations, including increased sealing around the battery cover, terminal cover, and chassis joints. The a7R IVA’s battery life is rated at roughly 530 shots per charge with the EVF or 660 shots with the rear LCD, using the same NP-FZ100 battery as its predecessor. Dual SD memory card slots provide versatile file storage and processing, and may be set to divide raw and JPEG files or to record overflow data. Both of the card slots are rated to support UHS-II memory cards for faster transfer speeds. Integrated PC sync terminal for wired flash sync with strobe packs or wireless radio remotes. A USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port has been added, in addition to a micro-USB port, for faster, more reliable tethering support. The USB Type-C connection allows the camera to be charged from the host power source while connected. Updated Multi Interface Shoe supports working with the optional ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adapter Kit, which provide improved, clear audio recording sound by sending a digital audio signal to the camera, opposed to an analog signal. In addition, the a7R IVA has a 3.5mm microphone input connector for use with external microphones. The a7R IVA’s built-in Wi-Fi allows it to rapidly transmit imagery to mobile devices for direct sharing online to social networking sites, via email, and cloud storage services. Wireless tethered shooting is also possible with support for both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands. NFC (Near Field Communication) is also available, allowing for a one-touch connection between the camera and compatible mobile devices with no complicated setup. When connected, the linked mobile device may also display a live view image on its screen and activate the shutter of the camera remotely. Orient Electronics
