OverviewIn combination with an FE 28–60mm F4–5.6 lens, the α7C achieves uncompromising full-frame quality with the world's smallest and lightest camera and lens system. Compact in size but meeting high expectations for image quality, AF and speed, it's truly an all-round performer. Despite the compact size of the camera body, which is the world's smallest and lightest, the α7C delivers the spectacular image quality for both stills and movies that you'd expect from a full-frame camera. Fast, wide and steadfast AF, rapid-fire continuous shooting and a handy vari-angle LCD monitor help capture the action whenever it happens. The 24.2-MP Exmor R CMOS sensor works with Sony's BIONZ X engine to deliver superb colour reproduction along with a wide 15-stop dynamic range, and it helps capture details and smooth transitions across all lighting conditions in both stills and movies. 4K recording for beautiful movie imagery Shallow depth of field enables bokeh effects, one of the strengths of full-frame cameras. Full-pixel readout without pixel binning allows oversampling equivalent to 6K recording, for clean images with less moiré and jaggies. S-Log3 support captures a wide dynamic range of 14 stops, revealing fine detail in both shadows and highlights in post-production. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) facilitates direct HDR playback and workflow, and Picture Profile provides various settings options for capturing images.
Real-time Eye AF for Animals tracks and focuses on animals' eyes Taking successful still shots of pets and other animals is much easier with Sony's cutting-edge algorithm-based AF. Fast, precise automatic detection and tracking of an animal's eyes, rather than the tip of the nose or the whiskers, keeps everything in clear focus—simply leave it up to the camera. It works dependably even when an obstacle comes into view or when the camera's horizontal/vertical orientation changes. Sony's Clear Image Zoom maintains subject resolution with almost no deterioration of image quality. Even single-focus lenses can be used as zoom lenses, with up to 2x zoom magnification. In-camera recording up to 5x slower or 60x faster than real time Varying the pace of footage is an extra creative element you can add to movies, and the α7C's S&Q mode makes it easy. It supports high speed full HD recording at 120fps15, and both slow-motion and fast-motion effects are possible in camera, with frame rates ranging from 1–120fps15. The resulting footage is up to 5x slower or 60x faster than real-time action.
