Enter the World of Enhanced Photographic Expression Introducing the Sony a7R IVA, the latest addition to the remarkable series of full-frame cameras renowned for their exceptional stills and video capabilities. This fourth-generation model takes image quality, processing speed, autofocus performance, and overall versatility to new heights, catering to the needs of professional photographers and videographers. Sensor and Processor: Uncompromising Resolution With its newly designed 61MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor, the a7R IVA ventures into the realm of unparalleled resolution. This full-frame sensor, featuring a back-illuminated structure, delivers astonishing clarity, low noise levels, and an expansive 15-stop dynamic range. A copper wiring layer has been integrated to significantly enhance data transmission speed, allowing the creation of 14-bit, high-resolution 61MP stills. The native sensitivity range spans from ISO 100-32000, expandable to ISO 50-102400, for excellent low-light performance. The camera incorporates the powerful BIONZ X image processor, which enables rapid continuous shooting, seamless 4K video recording, and advanced autofocus tracking. The high-speed processing capabilities minimize rolling shutter effects and other motion distortions, resulting in clean and smooth rendering of moving subjects. Pixel Shift Multi Shooting: Unprecedented Detail Pushing the boundaries of resolution even further, the a7R IVA introduces the innovative Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode. Leveraging the sensor-shift image stabilization system, this mode precisely shifts the sensor while capturing 16 consecutive exposures. By combining this information, the camera acquires approximately 240.8MP of data, resulting in unparalleled color accuracy and intricate detail. The resulting composite image reaches an impressive size of 19,008 x 12,672 pixels. These files can be seamlessly merged during post-production using the Sony Imaging software suite. Fast Hybrid AF System: Precision in Every Frame The updated Fast Hybrid AF system employs an array of 567 phase-detection points, covering an astounding 99.7% of the frame’s height and 74% of its width. Complemented by 425 contrast-detection areas, this autofocus system ensures fast, accurate, and reliable subject tracking. The enhanced low-light performance extends the AF’s responsiveness down to -3 EV. The versatile focusing system offers a range of features for refined precision: – Lock-on AF maintains focus on moving subjects, utilizing a customizable frame placed over the desired subject. – Expand Flexible Spot employs neighboring focus points to sustain focus on moving subjects even if the initial point loses focus. – Eye AF, available in both AF-S and AF-C modes for both stills and video, intelligently detects and focuses on human subjects’ eyes, delivering stunning portraits. Eye AF also works with animal subjects across all focusing modes. – Focus Magnifier allows for critical focus on minute subject details. – The rear touchscreen supports Touch Focus control, and the Touchpad Focus Control mode enables intuitive operation while using the viewfinder. Video Recording: Cinematic Excellence The a7R IVA offers UHD 4K video recording capabilities in the XAVC S format. Capture high-quality footage at various frame rates up to 30 fps, utilizing the full width of the sensor with 8-bit 4:2:0 color sampling and the 100Mbps XAVC S codec. For enhanced detail and reduced moiré and aliasing, oversampled 4K recording utilizes a 6K capture area with a Super 35 crop. Immerse yourself in the world of slow-motion with Full HD 1080p recording at frame rates up to 120 fps. This high-speed recording enables creative Slow & Quick Motion (S&Q) modes at 4x and 5x speeds, with frame rates set to 30p or 24p. The camera’s uncompressed HDMI output supports the connection of optional external recorders for clean 4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling. Additionally, you can extract 8MP stills from recorded movies, creating separate image files. Take control of your color grading with S-Log3 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support. HLG enables recording within a wide color gamut, facilitating direct production of HDR-ready content. S-Log3 expands the dynamic range by 14 stops, offering increased grading control in shadow to mid-tone regions. Body Design and Connectivity: Professional-grade Performance The a7R IVA combines a rugged yet lightweight magnesium alloy chassis for durability, stability, and comfortable handling. The lens mount has been reinforced to accommodate heavy lenses, ensuring stability and reliability. Extensive weather-sealing safeguards the camera against dust and moisture, allowing for confident shooting in harsh conditions. Powered by the NP-FZ100 battery, which is shared with its predecessor, the a7R IVA provides an impressive battery life. Capture approximately 530 shots per charge with the electronic viewfinder or 660 shots using the rear LCD. Dual SD memory card slots offer versatile file saving and handling options, supporting UHS-II memory cards for high-speed transfers. The camera features a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, complementing the existing micro-USB port, to facilitate faster and more reliable tethered shooting. The USB Type-C connection allows simultaneous charging while connected to a power source. The updated Multi Interface Shoe supports accessories such as the ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone and XLR-K3M XLR Adapter Kit, which leverage the digital audio interface for improved sound recording quality. Additional ports include a 3.5mm headphone jack and an external microphone port for comprehensive audio control. The HDMI micro (Type D) connector provides a clean signal output for use with optional external recorders. The camera also features a PC sync terminal for wired flash synchronization and integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for seamless image transfer, remote control, and location data acquisition.
