Sony a7C II Mirrorless Camera 33MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI Sensor, E - Silver

Sony a7C II Mirrorless Camera 33MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI Sensor, Sony E - Silver(ILCE-7CM2S.CEC, ILCE7CM2S.CEC, ILCE/7CM2S.CEC)

Building off the sleek profile and full-frame sensor combination of its first-generation predecessor, the black Sony a7C II offers improved resolution, autofocus, in-body image stabilization, and video capabilities in the same compact, all-day, everyday form factor.

° 33.0MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor and BIONZ XR Processor

The Sony a7C II's advanced imaging system is powered by a 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processor, a combination capable of 10-bit 4K imagery at up to 30 fps or a top continuous shooting rate of 10 fps with AF and AE using either the mechanical or electronic shutter.

The introduction of the back-illuminated structure to the camera's sensor gives it a higher resolution without sacrificing sensitivity.

With an ISO range of 100-51200 that's expandable to ISO 50-204800, the camera boasts low-light performance with minimal noise and wide dynamic range.

° AI-Powered Autofocus and Image Stabilization

The Sony a7C II's AI processing unit brings a host of enhanced capabilities to the camera's autofocus and image stabilization systems, ensuring smooth handling and clarity no matter the shooting conditions.

The camera's 759 phase detection points in stills mode and 495 points in video mode, covering 94% of the image area, are enhanced with AI-powered subject recognition performance and real-time tracking.

The AI processor also uses a new autoexposure algorithm, Human Pose Estimation, to prioritize exposure areas for a 20% improvement in overall exposure accuracy.

The auto white balance also benefits from the improved AI processor, aiding in difficult lighting conditions.

Other autofocus features include focus bracketing in up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, focus accuracy in low light down to EV -4.0, focus breathing compensation, autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peaking during autofocus.

° Image Stabilization

Now offering seven stops of shake compensation, the camera's pixel-level 5-axis optical image stabilization system, which counters five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills and video, is algorithmically optimized for precision detection and control down to a single pixel.

The AI Processing Unit also improves communication between the body and the lens, providing more stable framing before shooting.

This allows users to confidently use any lens, even adapted lenses, for critical imaging without encountering blur from camera shake.

° Advanced Rendering

For stills-shooters, the a7C II offers a wide range of color renderings and compressions for optimal image quality and storage management, led by the introduction of the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format.

Users also have the choice between Compressed and Lossless Compressed options when shooting raw.

The AI Processing Unit also helps to achieve better exposure results in Auto mode with applicable algorithmic adjustments made for skin tone, backlit situations, and white balance.

The same Creative Looks presets available in video are also available when shooting stills, allowing additionally for user-defined configurations with eight adjustable parameters.

For optimal viewing of stills when tethered to select monitors and televisions, the a7C II now offers a stills-designed Hybrid Log-Gamma mode that delivers accurate dynamic range in 10-bit HEIF format.
