Product details
The A7 II is the first full-frame camera with internal five-axis image stabilization. In addition, the focus is significantly faster and more accurate compared to the α7.The camera has also made significant
improvements in the video area. Some exciting features have been added to the latest generation of the A7 series. First and foremost, the image stabilization will make the hearts of photo fans beat faster. In the A7 II, the 24.3-megapixel Exmor CMOS full-frame sensor is embedded in a five-axis image stabilizer. This technology, which absorbs vibrations in all directions, enables significantly slower shutter speeds. The image stabilizer can compensate for up to 4.5 f-stops. Of course, it also shows its capabilities with lenses that are connected to the camera via an adapter. No matter how gently you press the shutter button, every camera inevitably moves at the decisive moment. This is all the more critical in difficult ambient light, when the sun sets and exposure times become longer. That's where the new image stabilizer inside the A7 II can compensate for slight movements to the front, back, right and left, and can also compensate for circular movements. The practical thing about the new image stabilizer is that it compensates for all movements, even if the lens has its own stabilizer. This is especially the case with E-mount lenses with Optical SteadyShot (OSS). Here, both image stabilizations are combined. With third-party lenses or lenses from Sony's A-mount family, the new stabilizer is 100% effective anyway.
Faster & more precise: the new Fast Hybrid autofocus No detail escapes the 117 phase and 25 contrast autofocus points directly on the sensor. They wait on the entire sensor surface from the center to the edge for suitable subjects to focus on. And they do this particularly quickly and accurately. The focus calculation algorithm has now been improved once again, making focusing around 30 percent faster than on the a7. At the same time, the camera's ability to predict the movement of objects in front of the lens has also improved significantly. Autofocus and exposure compensation are tracked more quickly, so that soccer balls, children and the like are always in focus and optimally exposed. Once captured, subjects always remain in focus thanks to Lock-on AF. Speed also plays a decisive role in another aspect: the camera's switch-on time is 40 percent shorter than on the a7. This means that the camera is always ready for use immediately. In addition to recording in AVCHD Ver. 2.0 Full HD (1920×1080) 60p/50p, 60i /50i and 24p, the A7 II also handles the XAVC-S format. (Photo camera variant of Sony's professional XAVC format.) This enables Full HD video at bit rates up to 50 megabits per second. In addition, the A7 II masters video codec MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. For audio, the camera relies on linear PCM, among other things. Various picture profiles give videos the desired look already in the camera. In addition, the A7 II supports, for example, S-Log2, which is appreciated by professionals, and produces a 1,300 percent higher contrast range with more room for soft gradation and better reproduction of highlights and shadows, as well as optimal post-processing.
