Sony 24.3 MP Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera Body

Sony 24.3 MP Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera Body – ILCE-7M2/B

Enjoy photographing the world outside with this Sony Alpha a7 II digital mirrorless camera. It has a 24.3-megapixel full-frame Exmor sensor that links with the BIONZ X digital image processing to provide vivid imagery every time with low noise and rapid frame rates. It can also handle 4K video recording and output to a third-party recorder for uncompressed 4K video. The five-axis in-body SteadyShot image stabilization allows you to take powerful photos even when the light is low.

This Sony digital camera includes Wi-Fi and NFC so that you can quickly transfer photos, or you can use a high-capacity SD card and transfer images that way. Because it’s a mirrorless camera, it feels extremely light in your hand with very little bulk, yet it has all the customizability of a standard DSLR. In addition, it’s compatible with Sony E-mount lenses so that you can choose the right lens for the right job, ranging from extreme telephoto lengths to ultra-wide-angle lenses or fisheyes. High-performance autofocus ensures brilliant images every time from this Sony Alpha a7 II digital mirrorless camera.

Features:

• World’s first 5-axis in-body image stabilization in a full-frame camera
  Reduce blur caused by camera shake from five different directions—vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw and roll—as opposed to only two in previous systems. The 5-axis image stabilizing system excels during video recording and even compensates for blur caused by the photographer walking or running. It’s a true marvel of engineering
• Use your favorite lenses with minimized blur from camera shake
  With image stabilization built it into the body of the camera itself, mounted lenses—even A-mount or non-Sony lenses using an adaptor 2—can utilize the 5-axis image stabilization for both still images and video. It even enhances lenses that already have optical image stabilization systems
• Full-frame, 24.3MP resolution
  Capture stunning images with 24.3MP resolution, a 35mm full-frame sensor, a normal sensor range of ISO 100–25600, and a sophisticated balance of high-resolving power, gradation and low noise. The BIONZ® X image processor enables up to 5 fps high-speed continuous shooting and high-50Mb/s XAVC S video recording
• Fast hybrid AF with phase-detection – 30% faster than á7
  This fast hybrid autofocus system utilizes 117 phase-detection points and 25 contrast-detection points. Updated from the á7, this new autofocus algorithm improves subject-tracking performance and focusing speed by approximately 30%
• Utilizes Sony’s E-mount lens system
  Take advantage of the growing family of E-mount lenses, including G Series and ZEISS®. The E-mount lens system is particularly well-suited for video shooting, with a variety of models containing “movie-friendly” features like smooth focusing, powered zoom control and silent iris/aperture control
• High contrast, 2.4-million dot OLED EVF for eye-level framing
  View every scene in rich detail with the XGA OLED Tru-Finder, which features OLED improvements and 3-lens optical system. The viewfinder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording, including the effects of your camera settings, so you can accurately monitor the results. You’ll enjoy rich tonal gradations and high-end features like 100% frame coverage, a wide viewing angle, and more
• Record Full HD in XAVC S format up to 50Mb/s
  The á7II adopts the high bitrate, workflow-friendly XAVC S recording format in addition to AVCHD and MP4 codecs. XAVC S format allows for Full HD recording at a data rate of 50 mbps with lower compression for improved video quality. The á7II can record Full HD (1920×1080) at frame rates of 60p, 60i, 30p and 24p directly to a compatible memory card. Video modes can be changed from full-frame to APS-C (super 35mm equivalent) if desired
• 3″ LCD screen tilts up and down for easy high and low-angle framing
  The tiltable 3″ (1,229k dots) Xtra Fine™ LCD Display makes it easy to photograph over crowds, or low to capture pets eye-to-eye by swinging up approx. 90° and down approx. 45°. Easily scroll through menus and preview life thanks to WhiteMagic™ technology that dramatically increases visibility in bright daylight. The large display delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation
• Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi®/NFC
  Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi®/NFC control. In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, á7II also supports NFC (near field communication) providing “one-touch connection” convenience when transferring images to Android™ smartphones and tablets with NFC. Simply touch devices to connect
• Tether your camera to a PC for Remote Camera Control
  Remote Camera Control allows you to control your á7II from your PC and transfer files using a USB cable. Feature control has also been updated to include video capture control
• Personalize your camera with PlayMemories™ Camera Apps
  Add new features to your á7II with PlayMemories™ Camera Apps. Find apps to fit your shooting style – with everything from portraits, detailed close-ups, sports, time lapse, motion shot and more. Use apps that shoot, share and save photos to your smartphone using Wi-Fi®, making it easy to post photos directly to Facebook or backup images to the cloud without connecting to a computer
• Designed for a pro-workflow with Picture Profile, S-Log2 and time code
  The á7II is equipped with S-Log2 gamma. Common to Sony’s range of professional video cameras, S-Log2 expands the dynamic range by up to 1300% to minimize clipped highlights and loss of detail in shadows. The á7II include a picture profile that can adjust settings like gamma, black, level and color adjustment, and can be saved for use in a multi-camera shoot. It also has Full HD base band HDMI® output, time code/user bit for easier editing, synchronous recording feature with compatible devices, various marker and zebra displays on both the LCD screen and viewfinder
• Compatible with professional microphone systems
  The á7II has a Multi-terminal interface shoe that is compatible with Sony’s XLR Adaptor Microphone Kits (XLR-K1M and XLR-K2M), allowing you to use professional microphone systems during recording
