Sony ALPHA 7R III Body

The Sony A7R III (A7RIII) showcases increased responsiveness and exceptional image quality in a compact format. Performance and multimedia versatility are at the forefront.

Building on the best of the Sony A9, it gains in handling, battery life, and modernity: addressing all the shortcomings of the A7R II. Plus, it offers a special high-resolution function. The Nikon D850 now has a serious competitor.

The Sony A7R III (A7RIII) ensures professional-grade operation in a compact and sturdy body, offering greater flexibility for perfect photos in any situation. With such a level of power, precision, and possibilities at your fingertips, you can capture unique moments.

An efficient 42.4-megapixel (approx.) image sensor and an enhanced image processor can take your images as far as your imagination leads you.

The doubled efficiency of the autofocus tracking, even during continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second, enhances the camera’s stability and high-speed performance.

The optimized Eye AF autofocus locks onto and tracks subjects with great precision and speed, even when the subject moves, looks down or away, or is backlit.

The USB SuperSpeed 3.1 Gen 1 enabled by a USB Type-C™ connector allows fast remote data transfer to a PC for easy handling of large RAW data files.

The Pixel Shift Multi Shooting feature delivers impressive resolution, color fidelity, and texture reproduction, capturing the atmosphere of the subject and the environment.

4K HDR images brought to life by innovation deliver videos with extraordinary presence, thanks to their high resolution, wide dynamic range, and broad color gamut.

The image processing system has evolved to offer high resolution and low noise with a wider ISO sensitivity range. The camera faithfully reproduces the atmosphere and details of every scene.

The Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder™ high-resolution viewfinder provides a natural and highly precise viewfinder image. The functional benefits of an EVF, such as excellent visibility in darkness and autofocus capability during magnified display, are further enhanced for significant shooting assistance. For greater versatility, the compact and lightweight body of the Sony A7R III (A7RIII) is sturdy and rigid enough for solid protection.

Sony A7R III (A7RIII) Highlights:

• Image Quality.
• Usable JPEGs up to 12,800 ISO.
• 10 fps burst shooting with 70 RAW files.
• "High Resolution" mode.
• Battery life of 500 to 600 shots (depending on viewfinder or screen use).
• 4K/UHD 30p and Full HD 120p video without cropping.
• Dual SD slots.
• USB Type-C port.
• 3.36 M-dot OLED viewfinder.

42.2 MP Full-Frame Exmor R CMOS Sensor on the Sony A7R III (A7RIII)

The Exmor R CMOS full-frame 35mm image sensor offers 42.40 MP resolution, back-illumination, and on-chip lenses for exceptional sensitivity and dynamic range.

An anti-reflective coating sealed into the sensor glass and other innovations unleash the sensor's power for more realistic image rendering.

The Sony A7R III has Truly Enhanced Image Processing

Front-end large-scale integration and BIONZ X boost processing speed. Paired with the Exmor R sensor, they deliver up to 15 stops of dynamic range at low ISO settings for richer tonal reproduction.

The latest front-end large-scale integration system of the Sony A7R III (A7RIII) makes data readout from the image sensor about 2x faster, and the BIONZ X image processor is now 1.8x faster.

Enhanced image processing offers reduced noise and a wider dynamic range across a wide ISO sensitivity range up to 32,000 ISO (standard ISO, expandable to 50 – 102400 ISO for stills).

Additionally, optimized detail reproduction and area-specific noise reduction achieve noise reduction equivalent to one stop in mid-range ISO settings.

Skin color reproduction has also been improved, a significant benefit for portrait photography. The Sony A7R III (A7RIII) also supports 14-bit RAW output even for silent/continuous shooting.

Wide ISO Sensitivity Range 100–32,000 Standard on the A7R3

The standard ISO sensitivity range has been extended to 100 – 32,000 (expandable to 50 – 102,400 ISO), with noise reduced by one stop in the mid-range sensitivity.

14-Bit RAW Output for Rich Gradations

14-bit RAW output with rich tonal information, from highlights to shadows, is available for silent or continuous shooting.

Sony Alpha 7R III Features a 3.69 Million Dot Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder

On the Sony A7R III (A7RIII), the electronic viewfinder, twice as precise, reproduces every small detail. The "Hi" quality mode provides highly accurate, natural-looking views on an incredible display.

This Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder with approximately 3.69 million dots provides precise details, contrast, and black reproduction, while maintaining the natural brightness of the image.

The High Quality mode allows precise focus adjustment, maximizing the rich image data from the sensor to display accurate, natural images with reduced moiré and artifacts, focusing solely on shooting.

You can choose 120/100 fps from the refresh rate selection to make motion smooth in the viewfinder. Only an electronic viewfinder like this can offer features such as powerful magnification for autofocus when a focus area is magnified in the viewfinder.

A7RIII in Portrait Mode: New Potential and Continuous Shooting up to 10 fps

The optimized Eye AF autofocus of the Sony A7R III (A7RIII) locks onto and tracks subjects with great precision and speed, even when the subject moves, looks down or away, or is backlit.

Moments are captured thanks to continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second with focus tracking/auto exposure.

Fast Mirrorless Autofocus on A7RIII

399 phase-detection autofocus points cover approximately 68% of the image area’s height and width. 425 contrast-detection points positioned over a wide area further enhance focus.

An advanced image processing system and α9 autofocus algorithms optimized for the α7R III increase AF speed, accuracy, and tracking performance.

The 399 phase-detection autofocus points and 425 contrast-detection autofocus points offer wide coverage with high density.

Autofocus is approximately twice as fast, and focus performance is twice as precise, allowing you to achieve and maintain focus on unpredictably moving animals.

The Sony Alpha 7R III also enables reliable focusing, even in EV-3 luminance conditions.

Improved Image Stabilization on the A7R III: Freer Shooting

Thanks to the improved 5-axis image stabilizer built into the Sony A7R III, you can rely on high-resolution performance mobility every time you want to move and shoot freely.

This allows you to focus on the subject without worrying about various types of blur caused by camera movement.

Fluid Studio Workflow

USB SuperSpeed 3.1 Gen enabled by a USB Type-C connector allows fast remote data transfer to a PC for easy handling of large RAW data files.

A Different Dimension of Resolution

The Pixel Shift Multi Shooting on the Sony A7R III (A7RIII) delivers impressive resolution, color fidelity, and texture reproduction, capturing the atmosphere of the subject and environment.

More Realistic Videos with This Sony Alpha 7R III

4K HDR images brought to life by innovation deliver videos with extraordinary presence thanks to their high resolution, wide dynamic range, and extended color gamut.

For high-resolution 4K videos with reduced moiré and artifacts, the Sony Alpha 7R III’s full-frame 35mm mode with full pixel readout (without binning) condenses approximately 1.8 times the data required for 4K videos (QFHD: 3840 x 2160).

Advanced image processing allows full-frame 4K video recording with significantly improved image quality in the mid-to-high ISO range, making the most of 4K’s potential in every shot.
