SONY A7C II - Silver Body
Sony A7C II Overview:
Building on the sleek profile and full-frame sensor combination of its first-generation predecessor, the silver Sony a7C II offers enhanced resolution, autofocus, in-body image stabilization, and video capabilities in the same compact form factor, for everyday and everyday use.
33.0MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor
The Sony a7C II's advanced imaging system is powered by a 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor, a combination capable of 10-bit 4K images at up to 30fps or a maximum continuous shooting rate of 10fps with AF and AE using mechanical or electronic shutter. The introduction of the back-illuminated structure into the camera sensor provides higher resolution without sacrificing With an ISO range of 100-51200 that can be expanded up to ISO 50-204800, the camera delivers low-light performance with minimal noise and wide dynamic range.
Video recording
Along with its powerful sensor and processor, the Sony a7C brings a strong set of video features to everyday content creators and videographers.
- Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using the advanced XAVC SI format for consistent performance and quality at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.
- Full-frame 4K recording is possible with frame rates up to 30p, up to 60p in 4K with Super35 cropping, and full HD recording up to 120p, using full pixel readout 1:1 without binning.
- High-speed 120fps recording also allows for 4x and 5x slow-motion movie recording with the frame rate set to 30p or 24p.
- Slow and Fast (S&Q) mode allows photographers to capture 4K video in specific steps between 1-60 fps and Full HD between 1-120 fps, depending on the format. These settings will allow you to slow down the action and also speed up a slow-moving scene.
- S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine gamma curves allow for more than 15 stops of dynamic range and greater post-production flexibility, including video matching from other Sony Cinema Line cameras.
- S-Cinetone can be used to deliver distinct colors and healthy-looking skin tone reproduction, based on the technology of professional Cinema Line cameras such as VENICE. This color profile offers natural mid-tones, soft colors, and especially well-controlled highlights.
- Creative looks can be incorporated into the recorded footage to create a specific mood while recording and minimize the need for editing.
- User-created LUTs and presets can be set to accurately monitor images or preview a specific appearance while shooting, and can be applied to the camera monitor, EVF, or HDMI output.
AI-powered autofocus and image stabilization
The Sony a7C II's AI processing unit brings a host of enhanced features to the camera's autofocus and image stabilization systems, ensuring smooth handling and clarity regardless of shooting conditions. The camera's 759 phase-detection points in static mode and 495 points in video mode, covering 94% of the image area, are enhanced with AI-powered subject recognition performance and real-time tracking. The AI processor also uses a new auto exposure algorithm, Human Pose Estimation, to prioritize exposure areas for a 20% improvement in overall exposure accuracy. Auto white balance also benefits from the improved AI processor, assisting in difficult lighting conditions. Other autofocus features include focus bracketing on up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, low-light focusing accuracy up to EV -4.0.
Vlog-Compatible AI-Enhanced Framing
In addition, the AI processing unit recognizes and tracks subjects during video recording, automatically cropping to keep the subject in a prominent position in the frame and facilitating camera work that would otherwise be difficult. This tracking can be custom-located within the frame and adjusted for speed and sensitivity, all with the touch of a finger.
Image stabilization
Now offering seven points of vibration compensation, the camera's pixel-level 5-axis optical image stabilization system, which counteracts five different types of camera shake encountered during manual photo and video capture, is optimized by algorithms for precise detection and control down to a single pixel. The AI Processing Unit also improves communication between the body and the lens, providing a more stable framing before shooting. This allows users to use any lens with confidence, even adapted lenses, to achieve critical images, without blurring due to camera shake.
Advanced Rendering
For photographers, the a7C II offers a wide range of color renderings and compressions for optimal image quality and storage management, led by the introduction of the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format. Users can also choose between compressed and lossless compressed options when shooting raw. The AI processing unit also helps to achieve better exposure results in Auto mode with applicable algorithmic adjustments made for skin tone, backlit situations, and white balance. The same Creative Looks presets available in video are also available when taking photos, allowing for additional user-defined settings with eight adjustable parameters. For optimal photo viewing when connected to select monitors and televisions.
Body Design and Connectivity
- The introduction of a front command dial puts an additional level of control and speed at the tip of your index finger and ensures that you won't be left with your thumbs alone at the peak of the action.
- Use the camera's USB output function with UVC/UAC control via a computer for streaming applications and broadcasts with full-frame 4K video at 30 fps.
- Built-in 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi enables communication in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to instantly share images with mobile devices for direct online sharing on social networks, via email, and on cloud storage sites.
- Built-in 3.5mm headphone and microphone ports give you greater control over audio while recording video.
- The 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder offers bright, high-resolution 0.70x magnification means for eye-level monitoring and sports, and a dedicated 120fps mode for smoother viewing when tracking moving subjects.
- The 3.0" 1.03m side-opening vari-angle LCD touchscreen works at high, low and front angles.
- It accepts the high-capacity Z-ion rechargeable battery and can also be powered via a USB connection to a computer or mobile battery. This connection can also be used to charge the battery.
- The rugged magnesium alloy body offers a durable profile and incorporates dust and moisture seals for protection against harsh environments.
