In-camera 10-bit 4:2:2 recording is available when using Long GOP or All-Intra compression9, making it possible to color grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom.
The α7C II boasts an S-Log3 gamma curve that emphasizes gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-grey (18% grey), achieving 14+ stops of latitude10. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine color gamut settings are also provided. You can apply a custom LUT (Look Up Table) with a Log gamma curve to preview how the footage will look in post-production, or to even record footage conveniently with a PP LUT already applied.
Active Mode11 image stabilization supports handheld movie shooting
Active Mode provides enhanced image stabilization for handheld shooting. A precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and an optimized image stabilization algorithm work together for exceedingly smooth, stable movie footage. In addition to this in-body stabilization, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilization12 coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, enabling handheld telephoto shots with greater clarity.
Stay focused with Real-time Tracking
Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view13
Select a subject and let Real-time Tracking do the work for you — the camera automatically detects and tracks the subject, keeping the focus with a high level of accuracy.
With the breathing compensation function turned on, the α7C II employs Sony's original Clear Image Zoom technology to suppress focus breathing, allowing you to shoot movies with more stable images. Breathing metadata can also be used with the advanced breathing compensation capabilities of the latest Catalyst Browse/Prepare Plugin software during post-production.
Metadata facilitates editing workflow
Metadata embedded in recorded footage can be used by Sony's Catalyst Browse/Prepare/Prepare Plugin software, significantly speeding up post-production. Shot marks can be easily added to clips during or after recording to mark favorite scenes, allowing you to quickly locate them during playback in the camera or editing with compatible software.
Smarter, faster AF
AI processing unit for advanced subject recognition
The α7C II is equipped with an AI processing unit specifically dedicated to processing significant amounts of data, enabling more accurate recognition of subjects and recognition of a wider range of subject types.
Human pose estimation for accurate subject recognition
With its innovative AI processing unit, the α7C II can accurately recognize human movement, achieving significant improvement in human eye recognition. Its human pose estimation technology uses a skeleton-based model, enabling it to recognize not just eyes, but also body and head positions with high precision, so it can even lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or with their face partially obscured.
Reliable recognition of a wider range of subjects
The α7C II features a powerful AI processing unit, capable of human, animal, bird, insect, car/train and airplane14 recognition. Animal recognition now recognizes the eyes of some grazing and small animals, in addition to the eyes and heads of dogs, cats and similarly featured animals. It can even recognize these animals when their eyes are obscured from view. The camera also comes with bird recognition, enabling it to pinpoint the eyes of a variety of bird types as well as recognizing birds' heads and bodies.
