Sony A7R IV with 61-megapixel full-frame sensor arrives

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sony outdoes itself again and introduces its new camera Sony A7R IV. The new mirrorless camera with the highest quality sensor that the company had launched to date. It is a 61-megapixel back-illuminated Full Frame CMOS Exmor R sensor with BIONZTM X image processor. With the APS-C crop, the resolution remains at 26.2 Megapixels.

Not only does it offer higher image quality, but it also features greater dynamic range and “maintains excellent focusing performance, high-speed continuous shooting and more,” according to the company. With a dynamic range of up to 15 stops and remarkable noise reduction, it outperforms its predecessor model, the Sony A7R III, and results in higher quality images.

Intended as a still camera, the Sony Alpha 7R IV incorporates 4K video recording at 3840X2160 pixels. The readout is complete without pixel binning in Super 35mm mode to guarantee 4K images with high detail. As with previous models, S-Log 2 and S-Log 3 log curves are also available on this new model and adds HLG(Hybrid Log-Gamma) for HDR workflows.

It features new autofocus modes in both video and still photography. It has a total of 567 autofocus points covering 74% of the frame. Focus tracking is now more reliable even in the most complicated situations with contrast and phase detection focal plane focus points. In Full Frame it is capable of automatic focus tracking for 7 seconds and 3 seconds in APS-C, including in multi-shot mode, which shoots up to 10 frames per second in high resolution in JPEG or RAW format.

Related to this, Sony introduces the Eye AF function, capable of detecting the eyes in video and photo mode.

The 5-axis stabilization system, already a trademark of the company, has been incorporated with even greater precision to obtain higher resolution and reduce image imperfections.

As for the viewfinder, the company has opted for the 5.76 million dot UXGA OLED Tru-finder, which offers more detail, brightness and realism to the images.

There are many new features in the new model of the Sony Alpha series, in connectivity, audio recording, design and configuration of the camera body… but for the moment we will have to wait until August to see the first models. The price of the camera body will be 4.000€ to which a large number of accessories can be added.
