The Sony Alpha A7 IV Mirrorless Digital Camera

Newly developed 33MP1 full-frame back-illuminated CMOS image sensor
Flagship-level image processing with BIONZ XR™
Delivering outstanding performance and excellent image quality in both stills and movies, the α7 IV's new 33.0 megapixel1 Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor provides high-speed readout, high sensitivity, low noise, and highly accurate color reproduction.
The α7 IV uses the latest image processor to offer greatly enhanced performance, with improved image quality and colour reproduction. Fast processing speeds facilitate comfortable continuous shooting as well as responsive operation while performing data transfers.

Beautiful images with reduced noise
Building on the capabilities of the back-illuminated image sensor, the BIONZ XR engine reveals even higher subjective resolution combined with exquisite detail and texture even in medium and high sensitivity ranges. Impressively low levels of noise are achieved throughout the standard range of ISO 100-51200 (expandable to ISO 50-204800 for stills and ISO 100-102400 for movies).

Wide, 15-stop2 dynamic range
Taking advantage of the camera's full dynamic range of 15 stops2, the α7 IV uses image data from the sensor's 33.0 megapixels1 to render remarkably delicate detail in landscapes and scenery. This stunning image quality is based on Sony's unrivalled experience at the front lines of both still-image and movie creation.

Quickly set the visual mood with ten Creative Look presets
10-bit HEIF3 still-image format for smooth gradations
A selection of ten Creative Look presets and eight parameters can quickly craft a mood for your still images, movies and live streams. And since no post-editing is needed, you can share your vision immediately after shooting.
Along with conventional RAW and JPEG, you can choose the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format for still-image capture. Smooth 10-bit color depth provides realistic reproduction of skies and portrait subjects where subtle, natural gradation is essential.
5-axis optical image stabilization
Up to 5.5-step4 shutter-speed compensation from the in-body stabilization unit

The α7 IV's high-precision stabilization unit and gyro sensors work together with image-stabilization algorithms to achieve up to 5.5 steps3 of shutter-speed compensation, to maximize the high-resolution performance of the camera's 33.0MP1 image sensor.

Sony's flash units coordinate with the camera's face-detection system
External control of flash units
Sony's latest flash units communicate fully with the α7 IV, leveraging its powerful face detection capabilities to adjust exposure to produce natural-looking skin tones5. Precise white balance synchronization and P-TTL metering, at up to the ‘Hi’ level of continuous-burst speeds, reliably expose even fast-moving subjects with quick lighting changes, for unmatched dependability and creative possibilities.
For greater convenience during shoots, compatible flash and radio wireless commander units connected to the α7 IV can now be controlled directly from the camera interface.
4K 60p11 movies with smooth, natural-looking capture
7K12 oversampling for beautifully expressive, richly detailed images
It is now possible to record movies at up to 4K 60p11 with full pixel readout and without binning, taking advantage of the α7 IV's brand-new image sensor and wide dynamic range for smooth images of fast-moving subjects.
When recording 4K13 movies at up to 30p, full-frame 7K oversampling is possible, resulting in high-resolution, highly detailed 4K13. Select the mode that best suits your purpose, and let the camera deliver.

Choose your look, for more expressive movies
Support for S-Cinetone™, Creative Look and S-Log3

The S-Cinetone color matrix, based on technology acquired through development of CineAlta cameras such as the VENICE, produces an impressive look with beautiful skin tones without post-editing. The Creative Look presets create other interesting visual moods in-camera, or you can use S-Log3 gamma to access the camera's full dynamic range (15+ stops17) for smoother post-production workflows.

New Breathing Compensation18
The a7 IV leverages our parallel lens and camera development to provide innovative Focus Breathing Compensation, exclusively for Sony’s E-mount lenses. By minimizing the field-of-view shift that can occur, during movie shooting, when you rack focus with some lenses, you can achieve impressive results – for new creative possibilities from a diverse range of Sony’s E-mount lenses.


Focus Map to visualize depth of field
Answering a request from professional creators, the brand-new Focus Map feature lets you easily visualize depth of field when you're shooting19. In use, focus (depth map) information is overlaid on a display of the live view in real time, so you can easily see which areas are in or out of focus.

High-performance ‘Active Mode’ image stabilization
Reliable support for handheld movie shooting

Active Mode21 stabilization for movie shooting is built on the camera's highly accurate stabilization unit, gyro sensors and sophisticated algorithms. It precisely detects the required amount of compensation and applies stabilization, providing stable 4K movie shooting22 without compromising the α7 IV's compact size and mobility.

Instantly turn your α7 IV into a web camera
All it takes is a USB connection to turn the full-frame α7 IV into a high-performance webcam. There's no need for complicated advance setup, just connect the camera to a computer or smartphone via USB26, select "Live Stream (USB Streaming)", and you're set.

4K13 / Full HD Live
Quick and easy setup for live streaming
The α7 IV supports UVC (USB Video Class) / UAC (USB Audio Class) standards that are usually included in USB cameras, so there's no need to prepare dedicated software in advance. Just connect via USB and get ready to go live at up to 4K resolution27.
Photo of a person attaching a USB cable to the camera Quick and easy setup for live streaming
The α7 IV makes live streaming easy. When you connect to a computer via USB, the USB function selection menu will pop up on the camera display. Simply select "Live Stream (USB Streaming)" and you'll switch to that mode immediately, without needing any advance setup.

Changeable lenses expand your expressive options during live streaming
Soft Skin Effect
With more than 60 Sony original E-mount lenses, from wide to telephoto focal lengths, plus premium and specialist creative lenses, there are near-limitless expressive choices for your streaming or sharing.
The α7 IV's built-in Soft Skin Effect makes skin look bright and beautiful, softening wrinkles, blemishes and dull-looking areas while adding emphasis to the eyes and mouth. This feature is available for still shots, movies and live streaming.
Applying our plan to the α7 IV
The α7 IV is no exception as we work to help preserve the environment

As with other new Sony products, the entire environmental lifecycle of the α7 IV has been considered, through development, production, packaging and logistics.
