Sony a7R VI: Ultimate Resolution Meets Speed

New 66.8MP Exmor RS Full-Frame Stacked Sensor

The Sony a7R VI features the highest-resolution sensor ever integrated into a Sony Alpha a7 body.

Its newly developed 66.8MP full-frame stacked Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor delivers:

• exceptional detail,
• faster readout speeds,
• reduced rolling shutter,
• outstanding low-light performance.

The backside-illuminated stacked architecture enables up to 5.6x faster sensor readout compared to previous generations.

With up to 16 stops of dynamic range, the a7R VI is ideal for:

• landscape photography,
• studio portraiture,
• commercial production,
• architecture,
• editorial work.

The native ISO range of 100-32000 expands to ISO 50-102400.

30 fps Burst Shooting with Pre-Capture

Powered by the new BIONZ XR2 processor and dedicated AI processing unit, the Sony a7R VI combines ultra-high resolution with professional speed.

Key performance features include:

• up to 30 fps continuous shooting,
• full AF/AE tracking,
• up to 150 RAW or 215 JPEG images.

The new Pre-Capture mode records images up to 1 second before fully pressing the shutter button, ensuring critical moments are never missed.

AI-Based Real-time Recognition AF+

The Sony a7R VI introduces next-generation AI autofocus with advanced subject recognition capabilities.

The camera can accurately detect and track:

• humans,
• animals,
• birds,
• insects,
• vehicles,
• trains,
• airplanes.

The Fast Hybrid AF system includes:

• 759 phase-detection AF points,
• 94% frame coverage,
• sensitivity down to -6 EV.

Real-time Eye AF+ delivers improved tracking precision even with distant or partially obstructed subjects.

Professional 8K Video Recording

The Sony a7R VI is a true professional hybrid camera offering advanced cinema-level recording features.

Video capabilities include:

• 8K recording up to 30p,
• 4K recording up to 120p,

An advanced heat dissipation system allows recording times up to 120 minutes in 8K 30p or 4K 120p.

8.5-Stop IBIS and 265.8MP Pixel Shift

The improved 5-axis in-body image stabilization system delivers up to 8.5 stops of compensation.

This greatly improves:

• handheld shooting,
• low-light performance,
• telephoto stability,
• video smoothness.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting can generate composite images up to approximately 265.8MP for maximum detail and color accuracy.

High-End OLED EVF and Multi-Angle LCD

The Sony a7R VI features a premium 9.44-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with:

• 0.9x magnification,
• 120 fps refresh rate,
