Sony a7R III Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)

High resolution and sensitivity enhance image sharpness, realism and detail. AF and tracking performance and up to 10fps continuous shooting are dramatically improved to capture decisive moments. Pro-style operability optimises efficiency. A light, compact body maximises mobility.

Back-illuminated 42.4MP full-frame sensor

The 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS image sensor features 42.4-megapixel[FN|Approximate number of effective pixels.] resolution, back illumination and gapless on-chip lens design for extraordinary sensitivity and dynamic range, anti-reflection (AR) coating on sensor seal glass, and other innovations that unleash the sensor’s power to make images look realistic.

Further enhanced image processing engine

The latest front-end LSI makes data readout from the image sensor approximately two times faster[FN|Compared to the a7R II. Sony test conditions.] and the BIONZ X image processor is now about 1.8 times faster[FN|Compared to the BIONZ X employed by a7R II.]. Enhanced image processing realizes lower noise and further extended dynamic range across a wide sensitivity range of up to ISO 32000 (standard ISO, expandable to ISO 50-102400 for stills). Moreover, upgraded Detail Reproduction and Area-specific Noise Reduction achieves noise reduction — equivalent of approx. one stop — in mid-range ISO settings. Also, reproduction of skin colour has been dramatically improved, which is advantageous for portrait shooting. The a7R III also supports 14-bit RAW output[FN|Limited to 12 bits during compressed RAW continuous shooting, BULB exposure, or when Long Exposure NR is ON.] even during silent shooting/continuous shooting.

A quantum leap in AF performance

An evolved image processing system and a9 camera AF algorithms optimised for the a7R III improve AF speed, precision, and tracking performance. 399 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points provide high-density wide-area coverage. Up to approximately two times faster[FN|In low light conditions. Compared to the a7R II. Sony test conditions.] AF speed and two times more precise[FN|Compared to the a7R II. Sony test conditions.] AF tracking performance let you capture and maintain focus on nimble wildlife in unpredictable motion. The a7R III also autofocuses reliably down to EV-3 brightness[FN|ISO 100 equivalent, with F2.0 lens in the AF-S mode.].
