Sony Alpha 7 IV (ILCE-7M4) + SEL 16mm f/1.8 G

New standards for full-frame cameras

With impressive image quality in 33 megapixel resolution, video recording in 4K 60p, precise handling and fast sharing functions, the Sony Alpha 7 IV sets new standards for full-frame cameras as the perfect hybrid camera. Creative and professional photographers will always have Sony's best technology at hand to bring their ideas to life with the α 7M IV and its premium real-time autofocus for still and video shooting.

Unparalleledimage quality
The rear-exposed 33-megapixel Exmor R full-frame sensor with high-speed readout, high sensitivity, and highly accurate color reproduction, combined with the high processing power of the new Bionz XR image processor, ensures outstanding image quality. Thanks to high ISO sensitivity (expandable to ISO 50-204800 for photos and 100-102400 for videos) even in low light.

In addition to the two classic RAW and JPEG formats, the HEIF format (High Efficiency Image File) is also available for photos. Thanks to this format's inherent 4:2:2 color sampling and 10-bit color depth, even the finest gradations are reproduced naturally and realistically.

The 7 IV has two media slots that support UHS-I and UHS-II SDXC and SDHC cards. In addition, one of the slots is compatible with CFexpress Type A memory cards. This means that high read and write speeds are also possible without any problems.

Improved selection and editing

The Sony 7 IV offers ten unique in-camera presets for photos, videos, and livestreams. So you can create your own individual picture looks already in the camera and share your images with the world quickly and easily without any complex post-processing.

The optionally adjustable Soft Skin effect provides a radiant complexion, reduces wrinkles, skin irritations and dull areas and emphasizes eyes and mouth.

Autofocus rethought
Faster, more accurate and more precise: the advanced hybrid autofocus recognizes subjects (human, animal and bird) thanks to the latest real-time tracking technology and reliably keeps them in focus. Even with fast and unpredictable movements. Via touch, real-time tracking can be easily applied to any subject in the frame and activated in addition to eye autofocus when detecting eyes.

Focus functions already familiar from the Sony Alpha 1 and α 7S III, such as focus switching or a user-defined subject tracking sensitivity, offer new, creative possibilities in video composition.

The powerful memory buffer allows up to 800 frames at up to 10 frames per second with AF/AE tracking. So you'll never miss a subject again! The AF Assist function supports focus transitions, ensuring a clean switch between auto and manual focus.

Intuitive Operation
With a fast and sharp 3.69 million-dot Quad VGA OLED electronic viewfinder, a new 3-inch tiltable touch screen, and a built-in 5-axis image stabilization system, the α 7 IV ensures a pleasant shooting experience and blur-free images.

The intuitive menu system with touch function allows settings to be changed quickly and easily. The function of the rear dial can be individually assigned to suit your needs. A special mode dial for allows you to quickly and easily switch between photo/video/slow-motion and time-lapse shooting.

High-quality video recording
Record video in stunning 4K quality at up to 60p, with full pixel readout and no pixel binning. Discerning filmmakers can use the α 7 IV to record content in 10-bit depth and 4:2:2 color sampling, and produce cinema-quality images via S-CINETONE/S-LOG 3 image profiles without much post-production effort.

The α 7 IV also offers unique video tools such as a Digital Focus Map and innovative Breathing Compensation, available only on Sony E-mount lenses. Thanks to the heat dissipation structure, video recording over a long period of time is no problem.

Shake-free images

The built-in 5-axis optical image stabilization (IBIS) ensures shake-free images. When shooting handheld video, the Active mode provides reliable support and compensates for camera shake. But shake can also be eliminated afterwards thanks to the recording of gyro and lens data.

Live streaming made easy
With the Alpha 7 IV, stream live content at up to 15p in 4K or 60p in Full HD. Even without a memory card. Thanks to the latest Generation 3.2 USB-C connectivity, no additional software is required. With the ultra-fast Wi-Fi chip and automatic Bluetooth image backup mode, you can stream your images instantly to share with the world.

More power for high-quality shooting

In addition to the efficient NP-FZ100 battery, the α 7 IV offers the option of an external power supply with USB port and AC adapter. For even longer shooting time, the camera can be connected to a charger or portable battery via the USB-C port.

Ultra wide-angle prime lens FE 16mm F1.8 G
The outstanding E-mount 16mm full-frame lens offers high resolution, beautiful bokeh and impressive close-ups - ideal for both photographers and videographers

Sony today announces the FE 16mm F1.8 G (SEL16F18G), a high-quality G Lens that combines the expressive power of a high-resolution ultra wide-angle with a compact, lightweight design for effortless carrying. It allows users to express their creativity when shooting photos and videos in a wide variety of situations. Combined with the latest Sony Alpha series cameras, this Lens is ideal for capturing landscapes, buildings, starry skies and much more. The new model is also excellent for close-up shots and also scores with its precise and quiet autofocus (AF).

Excellent resolution with an extremely wide 16 mm angle of view
The FE 16mm F1.8 G is a perfect Lens for spectacular, dynamic wide-angle shots. Its optical design includes two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements that contribute to impressive resolution at all apertures. A Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED elements correct colour aberrations throughout the image, while the optimized coating minimizes flare and ghosting effects.

Impressive G Lens bokeh and outstanding close-up performance
With its 11-blade circular aperture and a maximum aperture of F1.8, the new G Lens enables breathtaking bokeh effects. The minimum autofocus distance of 0.15 meters with a maximum magnification of 0.25x (MF: 0.13 meters, 0.30x) enables excellent close-ups. All this helps to realize unique ultra-wide perspectives with deep, exquisite bokeh.

Ultra-wide angle with large aperture in a compact lens
Thanks to the use of aspherical elements, including high-precision AA elements from Sony, it has been possible to develop an ultra-wide-angle lens for full-frame format that measures a compact 73.8 x 75 mm and weighs only 304 grams. The FE 16mm F1.8 G is small, lightweight and portable, yet offers spectacular image quality for a wide range of subjects including landscapes, buildings, starry skies and much more.

Fast, precise autofocus for outstanding shots
Two XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear motors provide fast, precise autofocus with tracking. A control algorithm developed specifically for the XD linear motors improves responsiveness to minimize delays and vibrations that can easily occur when controlling large focus groups, ensuring an exceptionally quiet and low-vibration operation. All this means that the FE 16mm F1.8 G allows users to reliably capture important moments even when the subject is moving fast.

Excellent, stable performance when shooting video
The FE 16mm F1.8 G's advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing to ensure smooth video recording. The Focus Breathing Compensation1 of compatible Alpha cameras is also supported, as is the in-camera image stabilization with Active Mode2. The latter makes it easier to record smooth, stable wide-angle videos even when walking. In addition, the new lens is compatible with a standard 67 mm front filter and can be easily balanced on a gimbal.

Comprehensive control options and maximum reliability
The lens has a focus ring, focus hold button, focus adjustment switch, aperture ring and aperture lock switch. Other functions can also be assigned to the focus hold button. The aperture ring allows convenient control of the aperture opening, while an on/off click switch for the aperture steps increases versatility. The focus adjustment switch allows instant switching between autofocus and manual mode. The dust- and moisture-resistant design3 and fluorine coating on the front of the lens ensure maximum reliability and durability.
