ILCE7M4/B with SEL2860

Newly developed 33‑MP1 full-frame back-illuminated CMOS image sensor

Delivering outstanding performance and excellent image quality in both stills and movies, the α7 IV’s new 33.0 megapixel1 Exmor R CMOS image sensor provides high-speed readout, high sensitivity, low noise and highly accurate colour reproduction.

Flagship-level image processing with BIONZ XR

The α7 IV uses the latest image processor to offer greatly enhanced performance, with improved image quality and colour reproduction. Fast processing speeds facilitate comfortable continuous shooting as well as responsive operation while performing data transfers.

Higher resolution, better colour reproduction

The new 33‑MP1 image sensor and processing engine raise the bar for image quality

In addition to boasting a larger pixel count and higher resolution than the α7 III, the α7 IV and its powerful Exmor R sensor represent a significant evolution of Sony’s original image technology, for improvements that go beyond mere numbers. Experience new levels of colour gradation and detail rendering as well as soft, natural-looking human skin textures.

Beautiful images with reduced noise

Building on the capabilities of the back-illuminated image sensor the BIONZ XR engine reveals even higher subjective resolution combined with exquisite detail and texture even in medium- and high-sensitivity ranges. Impressively low levels of noise are achieved throughout the standard range of ISO 100-51200 (expandable to ISO 50-204800 for stills and ISO 100-102400 for movies).

Wide, 15-stop2 dynamic range

Taking advantage of the camera’s full dynamic range of 15 stops2, the α7 IV uses image data from the sensor’s 33.0 megapixels1 to render remarkably delicate detail in landscapes and scenery. This stunning image quality is based on Sony’s unrivalled experience at the front lines of both still-image and movie creation.

Quickly set the visual mood with ten Creative Look presets

A selection of ten Creative Look presets and eight parameters can quickly craft a mood for your still images, movies and live streams. And since no post-editing is needed, you can share your vision immediately after shooting.

10-bit HEIF3 still-image format for smooth gradations

Along with conventional RAW and JPEG, you can choose the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format for still-image capture. Smooth 10-bit colour depth provides realistic reproduction of skies and portrait subjects where subtle, natural gradation is essential.

5-axis optical image stabilization

Up to 5.5-step4 shutter-speed compensation from the in-body stabilization unit

The α7 IV’s high-precision stabilization unit and gyro sensors work together with image-stabilization algorithms to achieve up to 5.5 steps3 of shutter-speed compensation, to maximize the high-resolution performance of the camera’s 33.0‑MP1 image sensor.
