Sony Alpha ILCE-7M4 Full-Frame Hybrid Camera

Standards redefined.

For a new generation of creators.

With groundbreaking performance in both still and movie recording, the α7 IV is the ideal hybrid, providing breathtaking imagery along with on-the-spot delivery and distribution. The α7 IV is a camera designed to bring to life the artistic visions of today's creators.

Basic has never been this good

Prepare to be inspired. The α7 IV's true-to-life resolution and remarkable AI-powered autofocus complement a range of world-class features at the cutting edge of imaging technology. 

A brand-new imaging experience

Newly developed 33‑MP2 full-frame back-illuminated CMOS image sensor 

Delivering outstanding performance and excellent image quality in both stills and movies, the α7 IV's new 33.0 megapixel2 Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor provides high-speed readout, high sensitivity, low noise, and highly accurate colour reproduction. 

Flagship-level image processing with BIONZ XR™

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.

Still photography without compromise

Quickly set the visual mood with ten Creative Look presets 

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.

10-bit HEIF still-image format for smooth gradations4 

Along with conventional RAW and JPEG, you can choose the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format for still-image capture. Smooth 10-bit colour depth provides realistic reproduction of skies and portrait subjects where subtle, natural gradation is essential. 

5-axis optical image stabilisation

Up to 5.5-step5  shutter-speed compensation from the in-body stabilisation unit

The α7 IV's high-precision stabilization unit and gyro sensors work together with image-stabilization algorithms to achieve up to 5.5 steps4 of shutter-speed compensation, to maximize the high-resolution performance of the camera's 33.0‑MP2 image sensor.

Sony's flash units coordinate with the camera's face-detection system

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 tones6. Precise white balance synchronisation 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.

External control of flash units 

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.
