      Using AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops for optimum framing when shooting movies. Even when the camera is mounted on a tripod, the framing is continually adjusted so that the recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by a camera operator. Accurate tracking is possible even when the camera is being operated remotely via the Creators’ App on a smartphone.

      Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view when focusing

      Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view when focusing

      With the breathing compensation function turned on, the α7C II employs Sony’s original Clear Image Zoom technology to suppress focus breathing, enabling professional-quality rack and refocussing. Breathing metadata can also be used with the advanced breathing compensation capabilities of the latest Catalyst Browse/Prepare Plugin software during post-production.

      Advanced 5-axis and 7.0-step image stabilisation 

      Advanced 5-axis and 7.0-step image stabilisation 

      Handheld shooting for stills got even better, thanks to the α7C II’s high-precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimised image stabilisation algorithms that effectively correct camera shake, achieving 7.0-step stabilisation. Compatible lenses with built-in image stabilisation combine with improved synchronisation between the body and lens to provide even more stable framing.  [1] Yaw  [2] Roll  [3] Pitch

      Wide-area, high-density AF offers speed and precision

      Wide-area, high-density AF offers speed and precision

      The α7C II achieves notably improved AF performance through the immense processing speed and power of the BIONZ XR engine and updated algorithms. It uses up to 759 phase detection points in a high-density array that cover approximately 94% of the image area when shooting stills, enabling it to recognise your subject even when they only occupy a small area of the frame. 

      Continuous still shooting at up to 10 fps with AF/AE tracking

      Continuous still shooting at up to 10 fps with AF/AE tracking

      The α7C II’s mechanical and electronic shutters allow continuous shooting at up to 10 fps, or up to 8 fps in live view mode, making it easier to capture the most photogenic moments and expressions, even with moving subjects.

      Accurate AF in low EV -4.0 light 

      Accurate AF in low EV -4.0 light 

      Equipped with the latest AF algorithms, the α7C II achieves high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV -4.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens). It also includes a Focus Priority mode that provides more reliable AF in low light or when using smaller apertures. 

      Metadata facilitates editing workflow

      Metadata facilitates editing workflow

      Metadata embedded in recorded footage can be used by Sony’s Catalyst Browse/Prepare/Prepare Plugin software, significantly speeding up post production, allowing for more accurate correction during editing, and providing a more efficient workflow. Shot marks can be easily added to clips during or after recording to mark favourite takes or scenes, allowing you to quickly locate them during playback in the camera or editing with compatible software.

      Dust and moisture resistant design 

      The α7C II is well sealed at critical buttons and dials, and interlocking body seams add double protection, providing excellent resistance to dust and moisture in challenging outdoor conditions. 

      Image sensor anti-dust system 

      Image sensor anti-dust system 

      The camera is equipped with an anti-dust system through a charge protection coating on its optical filter and an image sensor shift mechanism. There’s also a Shutter When Power Off function that closes the shutter when the camera’s power is turned off, protecting the image sensor from dust and particles while changing lenses.

      Stable smartphone connectivity 

      Stable smartphone connectivity 

      Connection stability when transferring images from the camera to the Creators’ App mobile application on a smartphone has been greatly improved. Transfers continue in the background even if the smartphone display sleeps or a different app is launched. Workflow from shooting to sharing has been notably improved overall.

      Stream top-quality live content 

      Stream top-quality live content 

      Connected to a personal computer or smartphone via USB, the α7C II can function as a 4K (2160p) webcam. Large-aperture lenses, narrow depth of field, and bokeh can be used to create striking images, and advanced AF functions such as Eye AF support online meetings and live streaming events.
