Description
The Sony Alpha 7C Compact Mirrorless Full-frame Camera is the smallest and lightest3 full-frame digital interchangeable-lens camera with optical in-body image stabilization. Breakthroughs in mechanical packaging and structural design have brought no-compromise full-frame camera performance to a new size and weight class that’s made for powerfully simple still and movie content creation.
The Sony Alpha 7C has A 35-mm full-frame image sensor that is about 30x larger than a 1/2.3-type smartphone sensor and even 2.3x larger than an APS-C sensor. Capturing significantly more light, it opens up new creative possibilities through a wider dynamic range, less noise, and higher perceived resolution. Deep bokeh, using shallow depth of field, is also possible in combination with a bright (wide-aperture) full-frame lens.
The Sony Alpha 7C has a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processing engine that work together beautifully. The extra-large pixels of a 24.2-megapixel10 full-frame sensor collects more light, for a 15-stop11 wide dynamic range and smoother gradations from shadows to highlights. Excellent subjective resolution and reduced noise pair with precise color reproduction for beautifully accurate skin tones and natural textures.
Bokeh is the selective focus with a blurred background that makes the subject stand out. Portraits or close-ups are enhanced with new meaning and depth. The α7C, with its full-frame sensor, can achieve bokeh when a smaller sensor-size camera with the same f-stop lens might not. When paired with over 50 lenses available from Sony, the α7C becomes an excellent choice for creative photographic composition and movie creation.
The Sony Alpha 7C Compact camera With its large pixel size, in dimly lit situations or at high shutter speeds, the camera takes beautiful pictures with low noise, even when in the high sensitivity range. Standard ISO is from 100 up to ISO 51200 (expandable from ISO 50 to ISO 20480012). Noise reduction is designed to be particularly effective in the common mid-sensitivity range to faithfully reveal textures and detail in shadows.
Over 50 Sony E-mount lenses enable broad creative expression, and a full-frame sensor allows you to leverage the full capabilities of Sony lenses. From wide angles to enhanced creative compression effects on telephoto lenses, with the full-frame α7C, the possibilities are endless.
When you're tracking a fast-moving subject, the camera can utilize built-in AI-based Real-time Tracking16. This subject recognition algorithm draws on color, pattern (brightness), subject distance (depth), and face/eye information to recognize and hold onto your subject.
The Sony Alpha 7C Compact camera has Advanced algorithms that contribute to high autofocus and distance measurement precision even at light levels as low as EV-422 in the AF-S mode, allowing for shots with precise AF even when scenes are dark.
It's easy to create movies in-camera at frame rates from 1 to 120/100 fps for up to 60x quick motion and 5x slow motion in Full HD resolution26. Turn everyday motion into extraordinary artistic moments with ease, to add drama and excitement to your movies.
The Sony Alpha 7C Compact camera supports a digital audio interface through the camera’s Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe. A digital microphone like the ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor Kit provides clear digital audio for all kinds of movie recording, enhancing the sound to match the image. Like other MI shoe accessories, no cables or batteries are required, providing unrestrained freedom for movie-making.
The Sony Alpha 7C Compact Mirrorless Camera is ideal for high-quality imaging during travel and vlogging. For easy one-handed shooting the GP-VPT2BT grip, via wireless Bluetooth connection, puts key camera functions including zoom, record, and shutter controls in easy reach and even converts to a mini-tripod. Match it with the ECM-B1M microphone for a compact, cable-free vlogging system.
The side-opening, vari-angle LCD monitor is intuitive to use, rotating 176° horizontally and 270° vertically. The large touch-sensitive screen, with approximately 921 thousand dots29, provides optimum visibility even in bright outdoor light. You can frame your shot or selfie from virtually any position and angle for both stills and movies. Touch Tracking, Touch Focus, and Touch Shutter are all supported.
A clear view of images in any environment is possible because the viewfinder is properly equipped despite the body’s compact size. The 2.35 million-dot29 XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ electronic viewfinder achieves high contrast and faithful tonal reproduction for fine subject detail display. A smoother image with 120/100fps30 frame rate makes it easy to track moving subjects. To enhance the user experience, the grip hold and shape have been carefully designed, so that compactness and usability are both.
Magnesium alloy used for the top, front, and rear covers enhances body durability. For the α7C, camera parts and internal structures were carefully optimized to reduce size and weight. On the one hand, a monocoque structure31 patterned after an airplane design helps to reduce weight while increasing strength, realizing a lightweight camera body with rigid flexibility. And on the other, the shape is supremely ergonomic and also weather-sealed against dust and moisture32 for comfortable and confident shooting in a wide range of conditions.
Despite the compact body, the high-capacity NP-FZ100 battery provides power to capture up to an industry-leading33 740 images34 on a full charge when using the LCD monitor, or 68034 when using the viewfinder. This also allows up to 215 minutes35 of movie recording without a break, when using the LCD monitor. In addition, the USB Type-C connector allows recharging from an AC adaptor or power bank while continuing to shoot, for limitless shooting potential.
