Sony a7R VI Mirrorless Camera with Basic Bundle

Comprising the core accessories needed to begin shooting with a compatible lens, the Sony a7R VI Mirrorless Camera with Basic Bundle from B&H combines the full-frame mirrorless body with a memory card and carrying bag.

Upgraded Processing and Continuous Shooting

A new BIONZ XR2 processing engine, with an integrated AI processing unit, offers more efficient performance compared to previous generations, which leads to faster shooting speeds, impressive image quality with wide sensitivity and dynamic ranges, and more fluent processing that's capable of handling a bevy of AI tasks, intelligent AF, and quick subject detection and recognition. This processing system also reduces rolling shutter and other motion distortions for clean rendering of moving subjects.

Pre-Capture & Speed Boost

Featured for the first time in an a7R-series body, these action-specific shooting modes greatly benefit wildlife and sports shooting situations:

Pre-Capture: The a7R VI can be configured to begin recording images at 30 fps with AF/AE to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed. Users can set this between 0.03-1.0 second. Upon pressing the shutter these images will be saved to the memory card.

Speed Boost: With Speed Boost and an assigned custom button, users can instantly switch their camera from their usual continuous shooting frame rate to a faster one to make sure their next shot is just right. Photographers will be able to select various frame rates up to 30 fps.

Improved 8.5-Stop IBIS

The in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system has been revised to support up to 8.5 stops of camera shake compensation in the center of the frame and up to 7 stops at the periphery. This 5-axis stabilization system combines a high-performance gyro sensor with an optimized algorithm for more precise shake control and improved communication between the camera body and lens.

Additionally, specifically for video, there is also an Active IS mode that adds even more precise stabilization methods for even smoother footage straight out of camera. Also, this digital stabilization system has been updated with a new algorithm that offers the best stabilization performance when paired with select OSS-enabled lenses.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting

This unique compositing mode allows you to achieve even greater resolution than the 66.8MP sensor affords. Working in conjunction with the sensor-shift image stabilization, this mode shifts the sensor while making 4 or 16 consecutive exposures in order to acquire approximately 265.8MP of information for greater color accuracy and detail than possible with a single exposure. These files can then be merged together during post-production by using the Sony Imaging software suite. Additionally, multi-image HDR and Noise Reduction modes can also composite between 4-32 raw images into a single frame that exhibits a wider dynamic range or reduced apparent noise, respectively.

Accurate Exposure and Color

Improved auto-exposure algorithm can detect skin area in faces in order to more accurately balance exposures for portraits. This AE method is approximately 20% more reliable, even in backlit or direct sunlight situations, or even when the subject is not directly facing the camera.

Deep learning technology, along with external visible light and IR sensors, also contributes to more accurate color reproduction and auto white balance processing.

Advanced Fast Hybrid AF

Covering 94% of the full-frame image area, or 100% of the APS-C cropped area, a Fast Hybrid AF system incorporates a dense 759 phase-detection point grid for quick and precise focusing in a variety of lighting conditions with sensitivity down to -6 EV. This focusing system is available for use in all recording modes, to benefit both video and stills applications.

Full-time DMF (Direct Manual Focus) enables using the lens's focus ring for manual focus control at any time, making it easier to switch focus to a different subject even when working with AF.

For photographic moving subjects, this AF system keeps up with the top 30 fps continuous shooting speeds, offering full-time AF tracking between each consecutive frame at a maximum rate of 60 AF/AE calculations per second.

XS - XL focus areas can be used, along with custom focus area shapes, to match the subject matter and framing concerns of different scenarios.

In-camera Focus Bracketing is possible, with the ability to record up to 299 frames with sequentially shifted focus points for creating composite images during post-production with greater-than-possible depth of field.

AF During Video Recording

Real-time Eye AF is fully supported during video recording, for subject detection and tracking of human, animal, and bird eyes while shooting.

Focus Map is a unique way of visualizing depth of field and functions in a similar way to peaking with a colorful overlay of the scene that indicates which parts of the scene are in front of and behind the focus point depending on the chosen aperture.

A feature carried over from the FX6 digital cine camera, AF Assist lets you intuitively switch over to manual focus control for adjusting focus position when working with AF. This is a quick way to shift selective focus between various subjects in a scene while recording.

A unique solution to compensate for how certain lenses perform when racking focus, Focus Breathing compensation will automatically smooth focus transitions and maintain a consistent field of view when changing the focus position during a shot. This mode crops into the image slightly and corrects for any detected shifts in composition when focusing is happening. This function is compatible with select E-mount lenses, check Breathing Compensation lens compatibility here.

Dual Gain Function

A new Dual Gain function has been added that specifically works to minimize noise without affecting shadow detail, resulting in videos with the smoothest tonal gradation and a wider perceived dynamic range. This mode limits the frame rate to 30p, the resolution to 4K, and the ISO to 400, unless using S-Log3 where an ISO range of 200-3200 is available. Also, since the readout speed is reduced in this mode, it's best suited for landscapes, interiors, or other more static subject types.

Audio

When using the optional XLR-A4 XLR adapter, 4-channel audio with 32-bit float and a 96 kHz sampling rate can be recorded alongside video. A separate WAV file can also be saved in-camera.

An integrated noise reference mic has been added to aid background noise reduction when using either the on-board mic or an external microphone.

The Multi Interface Shoe features a digital audio interface that supports recording 4-channel 24-bit audio with attached mics.

9.44m-Dot EVF and 4-Axis Multi-Angle LCD

A revised QXGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF features a high 9.44m-dot resolution and 0.9x magnification for exceptionally clear and detailed eye-level viewing.

EVF is approximately 3x brighter than the a7R V and also has an improved 10-bit display with DCI-P3-equivalent coverage for improved color accuracy and visibility.

Viewfinder offers 120 fps playback for smooth motion rendering and the finder's physical design has a long 25mm eye point, 41° field of view, and features a fluorine coating on the outermost viewfinder element to benefit cleaning.

Sports a highly functional 4-axis multi-angle LCD design that combines the best assets of both tilting and side-open/flip-out vari-angle designs.

This 3.2" 2.1m-dot LCD also has a touchscreen design and a DCI-P3 wide gamut for accurate color monitoring.
