Product Information

Sony A7R IV 35mm Full-Frame Camera

The world’s first 35mm Full Frame 61.0 Megapixel Image Sensor, giving creators new opportunities.

The Sony Alpha 7R IV camera is an absolute beast, offering a full-frame 61MP BSI-CMOS sensor with 15 stops of dynamic range. It has a hybrid AF system with 567 PDAF and 425 contrast-detect point, and 74% frame coverage. There's also real-time eye, human and animal AF. The A7R IV camera can shoot at 10 fps with continuous AF for up to 68 photos.


Ever more inspiring

Enter a whole new world of photographic expression with incomparable image quality and processing speed. A powerful new choice joins the α7R series with ever more advanced connectivity and enhanced reliability demanded by pros.

Unimagined subtlety

61.0-megapixel1 full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor combined with BIONZ X™ imaging engine delivers unprecedented resolution, fine gradation, and low noise to open entirely new dimensions of detail just as pro photographers expect. The Sony A7R IV captures the mood of each scene and the texture of aimed subjects.

61.0MP1 full-frame back-illuminated CMOS sensor

The newly developed Exmor R CMOS image sensor boasts incomparable high resolution. Back-illuminated design exhibits high sensitivity and low noise, despite extremely high pixel count of 61.0MP1.

The latest image processing engine

The latest BIONZ X image processing engine works in tandem with front-end LSI to maximise high-resolution sensor performance while achieving up to 15-stop2 dynamic range at low ISO sensitivity.

Wide standard ISO 100-32000 range

Regardless of increased pixels, the Sony A7R IV camera delivers the highest standard ISO 320003, and reduces noise in the low- and mid-sensitivity ranges, achieving high-quality imagery.

The highest-level burst speed in its class

Regardless of remarkable image resolution, the A7R IV from Sony maintains its shooting speed of up to 10fps with a mechanical shutter (up to 8fps in live-view continuous shooting mode).7 This allows you to capture decisive moments — such as motion of wild animals — with subtle details made possible only by the 61.0MP high-resolution imaging capability.
