Sony alpha 7R III Full-Frame Camera

Sony alpha 7R III Full-Frame Camera

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.].
