Small size, full-frame power

Together with the FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 lens, this is the smallest and lightest1xa0α7C2xa0camera and lens system to deliver superb full-frame quality. Despite its compact size, it meets high demands for image quality, AF and speed, so you can unleash your creativity wherever you are.

Express yourself fully

Powerful performance and exceptional image quality

Despite its compact body size, which is the world’s smallest and lightest4, the α7C delivers the unparalleled quality of both stills and movies you’d expect from a full-frame camera. Fast, wide and stable AF, high-speed continuous shooting and a convenient vari-angle LCD help you capture the action.

Capturing full-frame images in a compact body

Perfect light capture means high-quality, low-noise images

Larger sensors produce better images, and the α7C's full-frame sensor is much larger than those found in smartphone cameras, compact digital cameras, and similarly sized PAS-C interchangeable lens cameras. The improved light capture delivers professional-quality images with less noise and better detail in both low-light and bright light.

Feel the difference with a larger sensor

Shoot with a full-frame sensor and get stunning images unique to this format. The α7C's sensor is over 2x larger than sensors used in APS-C cameras with similarly sized bodies and up to 30x larger than smartphone sensors, delivering images with depth and detail.

Compact size, easy to operate

The α7C was fashioned to be compact, lightweight and portable without compromising genuine full-frame camera performance. This goal was accomplished by developing new mechanical components, such as a space-saving shutter and optical stabilization unit, along with layout and structural enhancements.

Easier to film

The MOVIE button mounted on the top panel is convenient for waist-level filming and selfies.

The α7C's full-frame sensor doesn't just capture more light. The large sensor and pixel size increase image depth, dynamic range, and detail.

Capture all the beauty of the world

The 24.2MP11xa0Exmor R™ CMOS sensor works together with Sony's BIONZ X™ engine to reproduce colors across a wide 15-stop12xa0dynamic range, resulting in better detail capture and smooth performance in changing ambient lighting.

Great images at high shutter speeds and in twilight

Larger pixels on the sensor allow for a higher signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for more detail in textures and shadow areas. Noise is particularly effectively reduced at medium and high ISO speeds, which are needed for close-up moving or poorly lit subjects. The standard ISO range of ISO100-51200 is expandable to ISO50-20480013.

Lenses to match your style

Wide range of E-mount lenses – from wide to telephoto, video and special.

Whether you're an amateur or professional, a photographer or a filmmaker, a wide selection of over 50 E-mount lenses will give you more room for creativity. Compact full-frame lenses deliver exceptional low-distortion images even at long focal lengths, resulting in unparalleled depth and sharpness.

4K recording1415xa0for beautiful movie images

Shallow depth of field enables blur effects, which are a big advantage of full-frame cameras. Pixel scanning without pixel binning allows for additional sampling equivalent to 6K recording for cleaner, moiré-free images.

More possibilities with S-Log, HLG16xa0and Picture Profile options

S-Log3 captures a wide dynamic range of 14 stops, revealing fine details in both shadows and highlights. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma)16xa0 facilitates direct HDR playback and workflow, while Picture Profile offers more image capture options.

Captures beautiful, detailed images of the action

The latest AF and high-speed continuous shooting help ensure you don’t miss a moment and capture it. The α7C’s Optical Image Stabilizer ensures stability and image clarity for both stills and video.

Highly accurate AF quickly detects the subject and maintains stable focus

The α7C uses the same AF improvements as our acclaimed α9, and features 4D FOCUS, which ensures fast subject detection and stable tracking over a wide area. A total of 693 phase-detection AF points cover nearly 93% of the image area.

Never miss a moment, even when moving

Moving subjects are captured better as the α7C shoots continuous bursts of up to 10 fps17xa0with AF/AE tracking, and up to 8 fps17xa0in burst mode. It also supports silent shooting18xa0with up to 10 fps17xa0with AF/AE tracking.

Depends on constant object tracking

Sony's intelligent AI-based Real-time Tracking19xa0and Real-time Eye AF

Reliable subject tracking ensures successful portraits. As with previous models, point the camera at your subject, half-press the configured shutter button, and engage Real-time Eye AF. The α7C also features a new feature that lets you press the AF-ON button to engage Real-time Eye AF even when not in AF-C mode. Focus is maintained even when the face is partially obscured or when the subject is wearing glasses.

Perfectly focused animal portraits

Real-time Eye AF for Animals20xa0tracks and focuses on animals' eyes

Sony’s most advanced algorithm-based AF makes it much easier to capture still shots of pets and other animals. Fast and accurate automatic detection and tracking of the animal’s eyes, not the tip of its nose or whiskers, ensures sharp focus – just leave it to the camera. These functions work reliably even when obstacles appear or the camera’s horizontal/vertical position changes21.

Reliably captures photos and videos while holding them in your hand

Zoom in, take close-ups, and capture clear images at night

The α7C's 5-axis optical image stabilizer compensates for 5 types of camera shake while maintaining image quality even when shooting without a gimbal or at night. These types include [1, 2] angular shake (pitch and roll) that occurs when using a telephoto lens, [3, 4] roll (X and Y axes) that occurs when zooming in, and [5] yaw shake (Z-axis rotation) that affects night shots and videos.

Full-frame image quality for filmmakers

The α7C's side-opening vari-angle monitor is easy to monitor, for example, even when a microphone is attached, a gimbal is used, or when shooting from various positions. In addition, headphone and microphone jacks allow you to use your favorite equipment, and a large-capacity battery allows for longer shooting sessions. This makes the α7C ideal for vloggers and other creators.

Easy filmmaking

Compact, lightweight and portable even with additional handle attachments

A side-opening LCD monitor makes it easy for video bloggers, an optional handle and microphone kit22xa0 is perfect for wireless video streaming, and a digital microphone stand23xa0 ensures crystal-clear audio. The popular vertical format video is also supported, and the use of metadata allows you to replay and edit vertically shot footage in a vertical orientation without having to rotate it first.

Precise zoom 2x24xa0control movie par.

Sony's Clear Image Zoom maintains subject resolution with almost no impact on image quality. Even prime lenses can be used as zoom lenses with up to 2x zoom24.

Set AF Subject Shift Sensitivity and maintain stable focus or move

AF sensitivity is adjustable for situations where multiple subjects are moving. Levels range from "1. Persistent" to maintain stable focus on the original subject, to "5. Sensitive" to easily shift focus to other subjects.

AF Transition Speed ​​helps control the focus transition speed

When autofocus moves from one subject to another, you can specify the speed at which it moves. There are seven levels available, from smooth and slow to fast.

Slow and fast motion recording
