Focal plane phase-detection AF with A-mount lenses
10
The 
α7R II offers focal plane phase-detection AF with A-mount lenses
10
 So you can take 
advantage of the wide AF coverage of 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points, high-speed 
response, high tracking capability and high optical performance of A-mount lenses. This is only 
possible with A-mount lenses mounted using a LA-E3 or LA-EA1 (APS C format with LA-EA1) lens 
mount adaptor and that have a SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) or SAM (Smooth Autofocus 
Motor).
Durable reduced-vibration shutter
The new shutter’s braking mechanism cuts mechanical front/rear curtain vibration by about 50%

Also, use the electronic front curtain for even less vibration. This not only minimizes camera shake 
that can blur details in 42.4-megapixel images — it makes the shutter durable enough to have 
been tested to 500,000 cycles

Tough magnesium alloy body and robust lens mount
Designed for solid reliability and steady handling, the 
α7R  II’s compact body is built to withstand 
the rigors of shooting in the field, thanks to an internal structure and top, front, and rear covers all 
made of strong, rigid magnesium alloy. Furthermore, the 
α7R II features a robust lens mount with 
the strength and rigidity to match the body – this is especially good for mounting large, heavy 
lenses such as super telephoto lenses and those preferred for movie shooting.
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 
objects close to the ground or maybe you just want to get a different perspective. The screen 
can swivel up approx. 107° and down approx. 41°. The large display delivers brilliant-quality still 
images and movies thanks to WhiteMagic™ technology that nearly doubles the brightness of 
the display through a unique RGBW pixel structure for easier checking of the focus and image 
details.
High-bit-rate XAVC S™  format for 4K recording

XAVC S™ format
6
 now supports 4K recording at maximum 100Mbps bit rate as well as Full HD 
recording at 50Mbps, so the 
α7R II can capture movies
filled with finely detailed movement. For 
efficient handling, XAVC S™ files are minimized in size using Long GOP data compression, and 
contained in the widely compatible MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format.
Designed for a pro-workflow with Picture Profiles, S-Log2 and time code.
The 
α7R II 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 
α7R II 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 
α7R II has a MI (Multi interface) shoe that is compatible with Sony’s optional XLR Adaptor 
Microphone Kits (XLR-K1M and XLR-K2M), allowing you to use professional XLR microphone 
systems for balanced audio during recording.
