Full-frame CMOS image sensor with 33.0 effective megapixels
Delivering outstanding performance and excellent image quality for both stills and movies, the α7C II's new 33.0 megapixel1 Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor provides high-speed readout, high sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 512002, low noise, and highly accurate colour reproduction.

Advanced BIONZ XR™ engine
The advanced BIONZ XR processing engine delivers up to eight times more processing power than its predecessor. It minimises processing latency while boosting movie and still image processing power, achieving natural gradations, realistic colour, low noise, superior image quality and fast menu response.

Consistently accurate exposure and colour
Employing the latest processing engine combined with an advanced AE algorithm, the α7C II can detect the skin area of faces and adjust exposure accordingly for both stills and movies. It achieves consistent exposure control even in challenging shooting conditions when the subject is backlit, in shadows or direct sunlight, or not directly facing the camera.

Advanced optical 5-axis image stabilisation
Enjoy even more stable handheld shooting for stills, thanks to the α7C II's high-precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimised image stabilisation algorithms that effectively correct 7.0 steps of camera shake. Compatible lenses with built-in image stabilisation6 combine with improved synchronisation between the body and lens to make framing easier even at telephoto focal lengths that can otherwise cause a large amount of blur. 

The technology to bring your creative vision to life
Enjoy high-quality movie recording capabilities no matter when or where you're shooting. The α7C II offers 4K 60p/50p movie capture78, S-Cinetone™ for a cinematic look straight out of the camera, and Log shooting for flexible post-processing, all within a remarkably compact, lightweight body that's compatible with gimbal or drone-mounted shooting.

The AI processing unit for advanced subject recognition
The α7C II is equipped with an AI processing unit dedicated explicitly to processing significant amounts of data, enabling more accurate recognition of subjects and recognition of a broader range of subject types.

Human pose estimation for accurate subject recognition
With its innovative AI processing unit, the α7C II can accurately recognise human movement, significantly improving eye recognition. Its human pose estimation technology uses a skeleton-based model, enabling it to identify not just eyes but also body and head positions with high precision, so it can even lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or with their face partially obscured.

Reliable recognition of a broader range of subjects
The α7C II features a powerful AI processing unit capable of human, animal, bird, insect, car/train and aeroplane recognition. Animal recognition now recognises the eyes of some grazing and small animals and the eyes and heads of dogs, cats and similarly featured animals. It can even identify these animals when their eyes are obscured from view. The camera also comes with bird recognition, enabling it to pinpoint the eyes of various bird types and recognise birds' heads and bodies.

Smooth and simple operation
The α7C II features a new Still/Movie/S&Q dial that allows fast, independent selection. It's conveniently located next to the mode dial, which can then be used to easily select the exposure mode and other key settings for each shooting mode.

Vari-angle monitor for framing flexibility
A side-opening vari-angle monitor provides easier positioning and framing freedom for handheld, gimbal-mounted, or shallow ground-level shots, giving you many creative options.

Image sensor anti-dust system
The camera has an anti-dust system through a charge protection coating on its optical filter and an image sensor shift mechanism. A [Shutter When Power Off] function also closes the shutter when the camera's power is turned off, protecting the image sensor from dust and particles while changing lenses.

Durable magnesium alloy chassis
Built for reliability in professional working environments, the α7C II is protected by a lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy used for the top, front, and rear cover.

Dust and moisture-resistant design
The α7C II is well sealed at critical buttons and dials, and interlocking body seams add double protection. This provides excellent resistance to dust and moisture in challenging outdoor conditions.
