Sony a7 IV: The Ultimate Hybrid Mirrorless Camera for Photo and Video

The Sony a7 IV is a game-changing all-around mirrorless camera designed for creators who want more than just the basics. Whether you’re shooting high-resolution stills or cinematic 4K video, the a7 IV delivers professional performance in a compact, full-frame body. With cutting-edge autofocus, excellent image quality, and pro-level video features, it’s built to serve photographers, filmmakers, and content creators alike.

33MP Full-Frame Sensor for Exceptional Image Quality

At the heart of the Sony a7 IV is a new 33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor, delivering stunning detail, vibrant color, and reduced noise—even in low light. Thanks to its back-illuminated design and a wide ISO range of 100-51,200, this camera handles challenging lighting with ease. It captures images with up to 15 stops of dynamic range, giving you incredible flexibility in both RAW and 10-bit HEIF formats.

BIONZ XR Processor for Speed and Precision

The powerful BIONZ XR image processor, inherited from Sony’s flagship models, ensures high-speed performance across the board. It enables 10 fps continuous shooting (with mechanical or electronic shutter), lightning-fast autofocus, and advanced subject tracking. Paired with a CFexpress Type A card, you can capture up to 828 consecutive RAW+JPEG images without missing a beat.

Pro-Grade 4K Video Recording

Create cinematic content with oversampled 7K to UHD 4K 30p video, or switch to 4K 60p in Super 35 mode, all in crisp 10-bit 4:2:2. The a7 IV supports XAVC HS (H.265) for efficient compression and XAVC S-I for maximum quality, with bitrates up to 600 Mbps.

There’s no recording time limit, and improved internal heat management means you can record over an hour of continuous 4K 60p video without worry. This makes it perfect for interviews, long-form content, and professional shoots.

Advanced Color Profiles for Cinematic Looks

Get pro-level color straight out of the camera with:

• S-Cinetone – borrowed from Sony’s Cinema Line for natural skin tones and cinematic colors.

• S-Log3 – ideal for color grading with over 15 stops of dynamic range.

• HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) – for instant HDR delivery with wide color range.

AI-Driven Autofocus with Real-Time Eye Tracking

The a7 IV uses 759 phase-detection points and covers 94% of the image area for incredibly fast, accurate autofocus. Real-time Tracking uses AI to follow subjects based on pattern, color, and distance.

• Real-Time Eye AF locks onto human, animal, or bird eyes—even during video.

• AF Assist lets you switch to manual focus mid-shot for precise control.

• Customize how your focus shifts with 7-step transition speed and 5-step sensitivity settings.

With Focus Breathing Compensation, your video stays smooth and natural, even when racking focus—compatible with select Sony E-mount lenses.

High-Resolution EVF and Touchscreen LCD

Frame your shots perfectly with the upgraded 3.68M-dot OLED EVF, offering sharp, lifelike previews at 60 or 120 fps. The 3.0″ vari-angle touchscreen makes vlogging and low/high-angle shooting a breeze. It’s fully articulating, ideal for self-recording and dynamic angles.

Pro Connectivity and Streaming Made Easy

The a7 IV is ready for the studio or the web with a range of connectivity features:

• Full-size HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and micro-USB

Shoot handheld with confidence using Sony’s enhanced 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE, offering up to 5.5 stops of shake compensation. Whether you’re shooting photos or video, even with third-party or adapted lenses, your footage stays smooth and steady.

In Active IS mode, video stabilization is further enhanced for smoother handheld footage straight out of the camera—no gimbal required.

The updated flash system supports P-TTL metering during continuous shooting, helping you maintain consistent lighting in dynamic conditions. You can even adjust compatible flash units directly from the camera menu.
