Alpha a7C Camera

Express Yourself Fully with Powerful Performance and Extraordinary Image Quality
Despite its compact size, the α7C, the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera, delivers spectacular image quality for both stills and movies.

With fast, wide, and steadfast AF, rapid-fire continuous shooting, and a handy vari-angle LCD monitor, you can capture the action as it unfolds.

Full-Frame Performance, Made Compact:

• Uncompromising Quality for Stills and Movies
  Enjoy stunning image quality, possible only from a full-frame sensor. The α7C’s superior light collection ensures high-quality, low-noise images.
• Make a Difference with a Larger Sensor
  Larger sensors create better images. The α7C’s full-frame sensor, more than twice the size of APS-C sensors, allows for greater light collection, delivering professional-quality images with reduced noise and more retained detail in both shadows and highlights.
• Compact Size, Easy Operation
  Sony achieved this compact design without compromising full-frame camera performance by developing new mechanical components, such as a space-saving shutter and optical stabilization unit, along with layout and structural enhancements.

Unique Full-Frame Imagery:

• Enjoy the Full-Frame Advantage
  The α7C’s large sensor enhances image depth, dynamic range, and detail. Capture all the beauty of the world with superior quality.
• Stunning Images, Even at Fast Shutter Speeds and in Dim Light
  The larger pixel sizes on the sensor increase the signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring beautiful images with more detail in textures and shadows. Noise reduction works especially well at medium- and high-ISO sensitivities, perfect for fast-moving or low-light subjects. The standard ISO range of 100-51200 is extendable to ISO 50-204800.

Enjoy shallow depth of field and bokeh effects, one of the strengths of full-frame cameras. Full-pixel readout without pixel binning allows for oversampling equivalent to 6K recording, giving you clean images with minimal moiré and jaggies.
• Widen Your Expression with S-Log, HLG, and Picture Profile Options
  S-Log3 supports a wide dynamic range of 14 stops, revealing fine details in shadows and highlights for post-production flexibility. HLG facilitates direct HDR playback and workflow, and Picture Profile offers various settings for capturing stunning images.
