Description
a7R VI: Resolution meets speed
The Sony a7R VI combines the highest-resolution sensor ever in an a7 camera with 30 fps burst shooting, 8K video capabilities, and improved handling.
Exmor RS BSI Sensor and BIONZ XR2 Processor
- 66.8MP full-frame Exmor RS BSI sensor with 5.6x faster readout speeds.
- High image quality with low noise and a wider dynamic range of 16 stops.
- Native sensitivity range from ISO 100-32000, expandable to ISO 50-102400.
Upgraded Processing and Continuous Shooting
- BIONZ XR2 processor for faster shooting and improved image quality.
- Reduced shutter distortion for clean performance with moving subjects.
Pre-Capture & Speed Boost
- Pre-capture at 30 fps with selectable interval from 0.03-1.0 seconds.
- Speed Boost to change frame rate while shooting.
Enhanced 8.5-Stop IBIS
- 8.5-stop image stabilization at the center of the frame.
- Dedicated Active IS mode for enhanced stabilization when recording video.
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting
Composite mode allowing 265.8MP resolution via 4 or 16 consecutive exposures.
Precise Exposure and Color
- Improved autoexposure algorithm for more accurate exposure metering in portraits.
- More accurate color reproduction through deep learning technology.
Advanced Real-Time Focus and Recognition AF+
- Excellent autofocus performance with improved subject recognition.
- Ability to track subjects such as people, animals, and other moving objects.
Advanced Fast Hybrid Autofocus (Fast Hybrid AF)
- Fast Hybrid Autofocus system covers 94% of the image area.
- DMF (Direct Manual Focus) for quick and direct manual focus control.
AF during video recording
- Real-time eye autofocus during video recording.
- Focus Map for visualizing depth of field.
Full-frame 66.8 MP fully stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor
The α7R VI, the first in the α7R series to feature a fully stacked Exmor RS image sensor, delivers improved image quality with readout speeds up to 5.6 times faster. Take your shots to the next level with 30 fps full-resolution bursts, uncropped 4K 60p, an expanded dynamic range and reliable autofocus in low light.

BIONZ XR2™ with built-in AI processing unit
The BIONZ XR2 system with an integrated AI processing unit delivers significant improvements in image and audio quality, connectivity, power management and response sensitivity. High-speed processing enables up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second, blackout-free shooting and 8K video, while the integrated AI processing unit enhances subject recognition and light estimation to provide unprecedented support when shooting.
Dynamic range up to 16 stops
Up to 16 stops of dynamic range at low sensitivities support HDR processing. The impressive resolution and high sensitivity capture stunning images across the entire ISO 100–32000 range. Noise is also reduced in night scenes.
Stable, accurate automatic white balance
The visible-light + IR sensor works with lighting estimation based on deep learning technology to achieve stable and accurate automatic white balance in any lighting conditions. Together, they enable natural color reproduction across a wide variety of scenes.

Realistic rendering of high dynamic range scenes
The updated D-Range Optimizer (DRO) balances highlights and dark shadows, and offers a wider range of power settings, up to Lv8. At higher levels, DRO brightens backlit shadows, producing more natural-looking portrait shots.

Center stabilization of up to 8.5 stops and peripheral stabilization of 7.0 stops
Exceptional stabilization performance maximizes resolution by preventing blur degradation. Stabilization is even more effective with compatible lenses20, while telephoto instability is also effectively suppressed.

Enhanced format options with lightweight RAW format
The [Compressed (HQ)] RAW format has been added to the existing format, providing lightweight RAW files that enable continuous shooting while maintaining high image quality.
Three Advanced RAW Functions
The [Pixel Shift Multi Shooting] function creates composite images with extremely high resolution, the [Noise Reduction Shooting] function produces images with low noise, and the [HDR Shooting] function captures images with a wide dynamic range.

Real-time Recognition Autofocus+ for More Persistent Tracking
The α7R VI uses the latest human pose detection technology for improved recognition and tracking. It keeps the focus accurately on the desired subject in a group or when a distant subject is small in the frame, even when the subject is moving.
Flexible focus area settings
Choose from XL, L, M, S and XS focus area sizes, or create a custom vertical focus area. The XS setting helps focus on the subject when there are objects in the foreground.
