Sony a7 II Mirrorless Camera

Sony Alpha a7 II Mirrorless Digital Camera Body
Full-Frame E-Mount Pioneer – 5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE, 24.3MP Exmor Sensor & Enhanced Fast Hybrid AF
The Sony Alpha a7 II is a highly capable full-frame mirrorless digital camera body that brings advanced physical stabilization and refined ergonomics to the versatile E-mount system. Revolving around a high-resolution 24.3MP Exmor CMOS sensor and the powerful BIONZ X image processor, this camera delivers exceptional image quality, expansive dynamic range, and rich color gradations with minimal noise from ISO 100 to 25,600 (expandable down to ISO 50). Housed in a robust, weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis with a reinforced lens mount, the a7 II is engineered to offer hybrid photographers and videographers reliable, steady performance in a highly tactile form factor.

The defining breakthrough of the a7 II is its built-in 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system. Providing up to 4.5 stops of physical shutter speed compensation, this in-body mechanism mitigates five distinct types of camera shake during handheld shooting—allowing you to confidently shoot with native E-mount lenses or adapted vintage glass without fear of blur. Driven by an enhanced Fast Hybrid AF system utilizing 117 phase-detection and 25 contrast-detection points, the camera acquires and tracks moving targets 30% faster and with 1.5x greater predictive accuracy than its predecessor. Complete with Full HD video capture in the high-bit-rate XAVC S format, S-Log2 gamma support, and a redesigned deep grip structure, the a7 II is a reliable creative workhorse.

Key Features & Imaging Architecture
24.3MP Full-Frame Exmor Sensor & BIONZ X: Delivers highly detailed imagery with subtle tonal transitions and reduced noise. Supports continuous shooting at up to 5 fps with continuous tracking and Full HD video recording at up to 60p.

5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization: Compensates for pitch, yaw, horizontal shift, vertical shift, and roll. This physical sensor-shift system provides approximately 4.5 stops of stabilization, ensuring sharp handheld results with virtually any mounted lens.

Fast Hybrid AF with Lock-on Tracking: Features a wide-coverage array of 117 phase-detection and 25 contrast-detection autofocus points. Uses an advanced algorithm to accurately predict subject motion, complemented by precise Eye AF for portraits.

Full HD Video in XAVC S Format: Records high-quality 1080p video at 60p, 30p, and 24p in the high-bit-rate 50 Mbps XAVC S format, balancing crisp image detail and manageable file sizes.

S-Log2 Gamma & Custom Color Profiles: Features extensive picture profile controls, including S-Log2 gamma curves to squeeze up to 1300% more dynamic range into the video signal, offering maximum flexibility during color grading.

Clean uncompressed HDMI Output: Transmits clean, uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 video over HDMI to external recorders for high-end production workflows.

Body Ergonomics & Studio Integration
Redesigned Grip & Shutter Interface: Features a larger, more ergonomic grip shape for a secure hold with heavy lenses. The shutter release button has been reshaped and moved forward for a more natural, hand-friendly shooting position.

Rugged Magnesium Alloy Build: Built with a magnesium alloy top cover, front cover, and internal framework, complemented by a strengthened lens mount and improved dust- and moisture-resistant seals.

Bright EVF & Tilting 1.2m-Dot LCD: Outfitted with a high-resolution 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder alongside a tilting 3.0″ 1.2m-dot rear LCD screen that adjusts 107° upward and 41° downward for creative angle control.

Comprehensive Audio Suite: Includes standard 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks for physical monitoring, alongside real-time audio levels and compatibility with the optional XLR-K2M XLR adapter for balanced inputs.

Customizable Control Layout: Provides ten customizable buttons that can be assigned any of 56 different functions to perfectly suit your specific shooting style.

Built-In Wi-Fi & NFC Connectivity: Facilitates instant photo sharing and remote camera control via compatible mobile devices with simple one-touch NFC pairing.
