Sony Alpha A7C II & 28-60mm F4-5.6 Lens

For stills, movies, and the creator in you

Compact and lightweight, the α7C II is the full-frame camera that serious creators have been waiting for. Packed with cutting-edge capture technology for both stills and movies, it's the essential tool for capturing the world the way you want to.

Intuitive touch control menus

Simply swipe in from the left or right edge of the shooting display to reveal touch icons that allow quick changes to the shooting mode and more. The function (Fn) menu can be displayed by swiping up on the monitor. Assign frequently used still and movie parameters to the function menu to access them with a simple swipe. Long-press an icon on the display to jump to the related custom setup settings.

Selectable RAW image sizes and quality

Lossless RAW image compression provides efficient compression for smaller file sizes with no loss in image quality, enabling the camera to shoot up to 27 frames in continuous bursts. There are three lossless-compression image sizes to suit any application, and a Light image quality selection that generates less data is provided for JPEG and HEIF images.

Metadata facilitates editing workflow

Metadata embedded in recorded footage can be used by Sony’s Catalyst Browse/Prepare/Prepare Plugin software, significantly speeding up post production, allowing for more accurate correction during editing, and providing a more efficient workflow. Shot marks can be easily added to clips during or after recording to mark favourite takes or scenes, allowing you to quickly locate them during playback in the camera or editing with compatible software.

Log recording with LUT previews

The α7C II boasts an S-Log3 gamma curve that emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-grey (18% grey), achieving 14+ stops of latitude17. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine colour gamut settings are also provided. You can also apply a custom LUT (Look Up Table) to the camera’s monitor image while recording with a Log gamma curve, providing a preview of how the footage will look after processing.

Advanced 10-bit 4:2:2 video encoding

In-camera 10-bit 4:2:2 recording is available when using Long GOP or All-Intra16 compression, making it easier to achieve smooth, natural gradations during editing and colour grading.

Reliable recognition of a wider range of subjects

The α7C II features a powerful AI processing unit, capable of human, animal, bird, insect, car/train and airplane20 recognition. Animal recognition now recognises the eyes of some grazing and small animals, in addition to the eyes and heads of dogs, cats and similarly featured animals. It can even recognise these animals when their eyes are obscured from view. The camera also comes with bird recognition, enabling it to pinpoint the eyes of a variety of bird types, as well as recognising birds’ heads and bodies.
