Information on security updates
Where a Sony product contains software that is subject to updates, Sony may issue security updates and updates necessary for the proper functioning of the device.
Full-frame 4K 60p video without cropping
Equipped with an upgraded image sensor and processing engine, the a7R VI is capable of 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) 60p and high frame rate 4K 120p recording without cropping. 4:2:2 colour sampling and 10-bit depth further support high video quality.
8K movies for spectacular resolution
8K 30p movies can be recorded in XAVC HS format with 8.2K oversampling offering spectacular resolution. This is further enhanced by precision AF performance, along with natural gradations and colours. 8K also supports 4:2:2 10-bit recording.
Dual Gain Shooting offers editing flexibility
Leveraging the sensor's tonal range, Dual Gain Shooting delivers wider latitude with detailed shadows, low noise, and smooth video gradations for enhanced editing flexibility.
In-camera audio processing
Whether recording via the internal or an external microphone, Audio Noise Reduction - with Noise Cut and Wind Noise Reduction modes - uses digital processing to reduce background, wind, and lens noise.
32bit float audio recording for editing flexibility
The optional XLR-A4 XLR Adaptor enables 96 kHz / 32bit float audio recording. This delivers a wide dynamic range via the Multi Interface (MI) Shoe which supports a digital audio interface. This high-quality audio offers greater flexibility during editing.
Bright high-resolution wide-gamut electronic viewfinder
Retaining the class-leading 9.44-million-dot resolution of its predecessor, the a7R VI upgrades to an OLED electronic viewfinder with a DCI-P3-equivalent colour gamut, 10-bit depth, and up to 3x the luminance. Enjoy clear, smooth viewing even in bright outdoor conditions or when shooting HLG stills.
4-axis multi-angle monitor enhances shooting flexibility
Sony's 4-axis multi-angle monitor swings up, down, and sideways, and is easily adjustable for the optimum viewing angle. The 3.2-type 2.1 million dot LCD panel is touch sensitive and has a DCI-P3-equivalent colour gamut, displaying clear, natural images.
High-capacity battery with quick charging
A high-capacity 2670 mAh battery supplies power for up to 600/710 stills (viewfinder/monitor). Advanced power management greatly improves battery life, and battery health information is provided. Fast charging is possible with the USB Power Delivery (PD) compatible BC-SAD1: it charges two NP-SA100 batteries to full in about 115 minutes, and a single battery to 80% in just 55 minutes. Vertical battery loading saves space, and status LEDs are provided.
Shooting info display supports vertical orientation
Information display on the rear monitor automatically switches to match camera orientation when shooting stills and movies.
Ergonomic grip for greater stability
The a7R VI's grip offers outstanding stability and control for effective high-resolution shooting.
Illuminated rear-panel buttons are visible in low light
Illuminated rear-panel buttons allow easy status checks and smooth operation even in very dark conditions. Button illumination can be turned on via the top-panel Backlight button.
Dual CFexpress Type A memory card slots
Slots 1 and 2 support CFexpress Type A and SDXC/SDHC UHS-II/UHS-I media for fast high-capacity shooting. Storage modes include simultaneous recording, saving JPEG/HEIF and RAW to separate cards, and more.
Faster, more stable Wi-Fi
Built-in wireless LAN supports Wi-Fi 802.11ax with 2x2 MIMO providing faster, more stable high-speed wireless communication on the 6, 5, and 2.4 GHz bands. Wireless tethering on location and delivery via FTP are fast, reliable, and stress-free.
Two USB Type-C terminals support power and data transfer
USB Power Delivery (PD) offers charging and power supply flexibility, along with high-speed data transfer for smooth PC Remote tethering and data backup. PORT 1 supports SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps data transfer when connected to a computer and features a screw hole for secure cable connection.
Greater accessibility for all users
Designed for easier use by everyone, the a7R VI comes with a menu magnifier and Screen Reader that reads most menu screen text aloud. It also offers several improvements over its predecessor, such as the Mode Dial Control Set function, which enables easy selection of shooting modes via the menu, and a lens mount index that is easy to locate by touch.
Lifelike rendering of wide dynamic range scenes
The updated D-Range Optimizer (DRO) balances bright highlights and dark shadows and offers a wider range of strength settings, up to Lv8. At higher levels, DRO lifts shadow areas in strong backlight, delivering more natural-looking portrait shots. [1] DRO Off [2] DRO Lv.8
Up to 8.5-step central and 7.0-step peripheral stabilisation
Superb stabilisation performance maximises resolution, preventing degradation due to blur. Stabilisation is even more effective with compatible lenses, and telephoto lens shake is also effectively suppressed. [1] Yaw [2] Roll [3] Pitch
Upgraded format options with lightweight RAW
A [Compressed (HQ)] RAW format has been added to the existing format, providing lightweight RAW files that enable continuous shooting while maintaining high image quality.
Three composite RAW modes
[Pixel Shift Multi] mode creates composites with extremely high resolution, [NR Shooting] produces low-noise images, and [Shooting for HDR] captures images with a wide dynamic range. [1] Original RAW [2] Composite image
Extended RAW processing uses deep learning for enhanced quality
Extended RAW offers two image-enhancing functions: [Extended Hi-Res] mode, which boosts the pixel count of captured images by a factor of four to approximately 270 MP and [Extended NR] for high noise reduction with full resolution. [1] Original RAW [2] Extended Hi-Res
Creative Look creates visual moods in-camera
Creative Look presets include [FL2] and [FL3] selections that can be used as-is or edited to create custom looks to match your vision. These can be saved for later use, giving greater creative flexibility.
Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with full AF/AE
Shoot bursts at up to 30 fps at full 66.8 MP resolution, with AF/AE tracking and no viewfinder blackout. Up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second effortlessly track even complex subject movement. Plus, with the upgraded BIONZ XR2 processing engine and CFexpress Type A card support, capture up to 215 JPG and 65 Compressed (HQ) RAW images continuously.
Pre-Capture for key moments prior to shutter release
Capture the decisive moment - even after it happens. Half-press the shutter button to set focus, then fully press to record a burst of images from 0.03 to 1 second after the initial half-press. This function captures full-frame, full-resolution RAW images even when shooting 30 fps bursts.
Enhanced Real-time Recognition AF+ for more tenacious human tracking
The a7R VI utilises the latest human pose estimation technology for improved recognition and tracking. It accurately maintains focus on the desired subject in a group or when a distant subject is small in the frame, even when the subject is moving.
Improved subject recognition performance
Recognition of distant animals and birds has been significantly improved. Choose from Human, Animal, Bird, Insect, Car/Train, or Airplane mode, or let Auto detect the subject type. Even when Subject Recognition is turned off, Sony's original algorithm processes multiple data points for reliable tracking.
Approx. 94% AF coverage for extra framing freedom
Fast readout and processing deliver notably improved AF. 759 phase detection points cover about 94% of the image area for precise focusing for shooting stills, even when the subject is small in the frame.
