Camera Overview — Sony 7R II

The Sony Alpha 7R II is a full-frame mirrorless camera built around a 42.4MP sensor and powered by the BIONZ X image processor. With a native ISO range of 100–25600, it handles a wide variety of shooting conditions while preserving detail across the tonal range. The camera's 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization works independently of the attached lens, making it a practical choice for shooters using adapted glass alongside native Sony E-mount optics.

Autofocus is handled by a hybrid system combining Phase Detection and Contrast Detection with 399 focus points, and includes both Eye Detection AF and Face Detection AF for reliable subject tracking in fast-moving or portrait scenarios. For video, the camera records up to 4K at 30fps in 8-bit, with S-Log2 and S-Log3 color profiles available for greater flexibility in post-production color grading. The 3.0-inch Tilting LCD displays at 1,228,800 dots, while the electronic viewfinder runs at 120Hz with a resolution of 2,359,296 dots for smooth, detailed framing.

Built from magnesium alloy with dust-resistant sealing, the body measures 126.9 x 95.7 x 60.3 mm and weighs 625g. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Micro HDMI output, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks, and USB. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, SDXC, or Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.

Key Features — Sony 7R II

42.4MP Full-Frame BSI-CMOS Sensor: The back-illuminated full-frame sensor captures images at up to 7952x5304 pixels, delivering exceptional detail and improved light-gathering efficiency over front-illuminated designs.

5-Axis In-Body Stabilization: Sensor-shift stabilization operates independently of the lens, making it effective with adapted manual glass and any native Sony E-mount optic that lacks built-in optical stabilization.

399-Point Hybrid Autofocus: A combined Phase Detection and Contrast Detection system with 399 focus points covers a wide area of the frame for fast, accurate focusing across stills and video.

Eye Detection & Face AF: Eye Detection AF and Face Detection AF allow the camera to lock onto and track subjects automatically, reducing the need for manual focus point adjustment during portrait or candid shooting.

4K Video with S-Log Profiles: Internal 4K recording at up to 30fps is paired with S-Log2 and S-Log3 color profiles, giving videographers a flat image with greater dynamic range to work with in color grading.

120Hz Electronic Viewfinder: The 2,359,296-dot EVF refreshes at 120Hz, providing a smooth, lag-reduced live view that makes it easier to track moving subjects and assess exposure in real time.
