Incredibly Sharp Images, Every Time
Say goodbye to fuzzy photos with the α7 II - the world's first* full-frame camera with 5-axis stabilisation. The movement of the full-frame image sensor allows the α7 II to detect and compensate for five types of camera shake, including roll, pitch and yaw, as well as horizontal and vertical shake, eliminating any blurry photos that may occur when shooting in sub-optimal conditions. Plus, the live view functionality allows you to see the corrected images on the screen, so you can fine tune each shot even when using a telephoto or macro lens with this interchangeable lens camera. Now, you can be sure of pin-sharp photos, even sans tripod.

Speedy Subject Tracking For Precision Photo-taking
The α7 II's newly-enhanced Fast Hybrid AF System is both 30% faster and 1.5 times more accurate than its predecessor, delivering speedy, reliable tracking that you can always depend on. It makes use of the wide-area 117-point focal plane phase detection AF sensor, 25 high-precision contrast-detection AF, and advanced algorithms to accurately detect and focus on subject positions - even while they are in motion. No more unintentionally out-of-focus captures.

Capture Stunning High-Resolution Images With Superb Sensitivity
The 24.3-megapixel* 35mm full-frame Exmor™ CMOS sensor delivers extraordinary image quality. Be prepared for superb sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, and minimal noise throughout the ISO spectrum, made possible thanks to the high resolution and larger pixel sizes. The full-frame sensor also allows for impressively-rendered photos and beautiful bokeh effects.

Beautiful Detail Reproduction In Every Shot
The BIONZ X™ image processor's ability to handle huge amounts of high-resolution data facilitates the faithful reproduction of natural-looking textures and details for remarkably realistic images. Diffraction reduction technology makes it possible to capture fine details even with small aperture settings, while area specific noise reduction renders noise almost imperceptible, even in low light conditions.

Advanced Features For Professional-grade Movie Production
Take incredible Full HD videos at a high bit rate of 50Mbps with the XAVC-S* video recording capabilities. Adjust the tone of your videos using the convenient Picture Profiles function, and use the wide dynamic range created by the advanced S-Log2 gamma to make the most of the rich detail in your videos. Plus, Sony's unrivalled sound expertise manifests itself in 32 precise levels of recording, including real-time and lip-sync settings, so you can make movies just like the pros.

Advanced Connectivity On The Go
Link up your mobile phone to your α7 II via Wi-Fi or NFC and expand your photo-taking capabilities. Install Sony's PlayMemories Camera Applications* and the possibilities become endless. Manually set correction values for lens peripheral shading, chromatic aberration, and more!
