Sony A7S III Overview

12.1MP Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor with BIONZ XR Processor

The Sony A7S III is built around a newly redesigned 12.1MP full-frame back-illuminated Exmor RS CMOS sensor that delivers stunning image clarity and reduced noise, even in low light. Its expanded ISO range of 40–409,600 makes it a powerhouse for night shoots and challenging lighting conditions.

Working alongside the advanced BIONZ XR image processor, the sensor achieves up to 8x faster performance and significantly cuts rolling shutter distortion by 3x. With 2x faster readout speeds, it captures both stills and video with remarkable accuracy. This combination offers up to 14 stops of dynamic range for photos and 15 stops for video, plus continuous shooting at 10 fps for 1000+ uncompressed RAW images.

UHD 4K 120p Video with 10-Bit 4:2:2 Internal Recording

Designed for filmmakers, the A7S III records 4K video up to 120 fps with full-pixel readout and no binning. It supports internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording in all modes and even outputs 16-bit RAW via HDMI Type-A for maximum post-production flexibility.

Choose between advanced codecs like XAVC HS (HEVC/H.265) for efficient compression or XAVC S-I intraframe for consistent high-quality performance at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.

Creative Recording Flexibility

Shoot smooth 4x or 5x slow-motion footage directly in-camera at 4K, or push it further with Full HD 240 fps recording. Unlike many cameras, the A7S III has no recording time limits, and its new heat-dissipating design supports extended recording sessions—up to 60 minutes at 4K60p without overheating.

Advanced Color Science

With S-Cinetone, the A7S III delivers cinematic color straight out of the camera, matching Sony’s FX6, FX9, and VENICE cinema cameras. Expect natural skin tones, soft highlights, and rich mid-tones that are ideal for film and commercial work.

For maximum post-production control, it also supports S-Log2 and S-Log3 profiles, squeezing up to 1300% more dynamic range than standard Rec.709.

Fast Hybrid Autofocus with Real-Time Tracking

The 759 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection points cover 92% of the frame, ensuring reliable autofocus across any scene. Its Real-time Eye AF works for both humans and animals, locking focus precisely where it matters.

For video shooters, the AF system includes customizable transition speeds and subject shift sensitivity, allowing smooth and cinematic focus pulls.

5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization

The enhanced 5.5-stop 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE system stabilizes handheld footage, whether you’re shooting wide-angle landscapes, telephoto close-ups, or macro shots. For video, the Active IS mode adds an extra layer of stabilization for ultra-smooth footage, even without a gimbal.

Professional Viewfinder & Vari-Angle LCD

Framing your shot is effortless with the 9.44m-dot OLED Tru-Finder EVF, offering 0.9x magnification, a wide 41° field of view, and smooth 120 fps refresh rates.

The first A7-series camera with a side-opening 3.0″ vari-angle touchscreen LCD, it makes vlogging, low/high angle shooting, and self-recording intuitive and flexible. The redesigned menu system is now more streamlined and touch-friendly, catering to both stills and video workflows.

Rugged Body & Dual Card Slots

Built with a magnesium alloy chassis, the A7S III is lightweight yet durable, with enhanced weather-sealing against dust and moisture. Its dual card slots support CFexpress Type A and UHS-II SD cards, ensuring fast data handling and flexible storage options.

The camera runs on Sony’s NP-FZ100 battery, delivering up to 600 shots (LCD) or 95 minutes of video recording per charge, making it perfect for long shoots.
