Enter a whole new world of photographic expression with incomparable image quality and processing speed. A powerful new choice joins the α7R series with ever more advanced connectivity and enhanced reliability demanded by pros.

Unimagined Subtlety
61.0-megapixel full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor combined with BIONZ X™ imaging engine delivers unprecedented resolution, fine gradation, and low noise to open entirely new dimensions of detail just as pro photographers expect. The α7R IV captures the mood of each scene and the texture of aimed subjects.
61.0MP Full-Frame Back-Illuminated CMOS Sensor
The newly developed Exmor R CMOS image sensor boasts incomparable high resolution. Back-illuminated design exhibits high sensitivity and low noise, despite extremely high pixel count of 61.0MP
The Latest Image Processing Engine
The latest BIONZ X image processing engine works in tandem with front-end LSI to maximise high-resolution sensor performance while achieving up to 15-stop2 dynamic range at low ISO sensitivity.
Wide Standard ISO 100-32000 Range
Regardless of increased pixels, the α7R IV delivers highest standard ISO 320003, and reduces noise in the low- and mid-sensitivity ranges, achieving high-quality imagery.
In-Body 5-Axis Image Stabilisation
The in-body 5-axis image stabiliser algorithm is optimised to maximise high-resolution 61.0-megapixel1 image sensor performance. This fully supports your handheld shooting for reliability as effective as 5.5-stop4 higher shutter speed.
Shoot in Absolute Silence
Silent shooting not only provides a useful advantage in venues where quiet is required but avoids vibration that can cause camera-shake blur. Vibration-free shutter maximises extremely high α7R IV resolution for crisp clear images.
Blur Reducing Structure
A re-examined and redesigned mechanism infixes the shutter unit to suppress subtle camera shake, and enhanced image stabiliser algorithm effectively reduces image blur. Overall, the camera's high resolution is successfully maintained.
Shake-Free Remote Shutter Release
Remote camera operation using optional wireless remote controller (RMT-P1BT) allows you to shoot effective stills while avoiding camera shake caused by pressing the shutter release. This maximises the image sensor’s high resolution.
5.76-Million-Dot UXGA OLED Tru-Finder
This 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder reproduces fine detail with approximately 1.6 times higher resolution than α7R III. You can select “High” quality mode for high-precision yet natural realism while suppressing moiré and jaggies for better concentration. Smoother image with 120/100fps5 frame rate makes it easy to track moving subjects.
The Highest-Level Burst Speed in its Class
Regardless of remarkable image resolution, the α7R IV maintains its shooting speed of up to 10fps with a mechanical shutter (up to 8fps in live-view continuous shooting mode).7 This allows you to capture decisive moments — such as motion of wild animals — with subtle details made possible only by the 61.0MP high-resolution imaging capability.
