a7R III (A) Body only

Reliable AF down to EV-3 brightness

Advanced AF algorithms contribute to high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-3¹⁵, for more reliable autofocus in dark scenes.

Shoot up to 76 images continuously

Capture up to 76 compressed RAW¹⁷ or JPEG images in a continuous burst. ¹⁸ This allows you to confidently concentrate on burst shooting without distraction.

Dual media slots, UHS-II support

With two media slots, including one that’s UHS-II-compatible for fast data writing, the α7R III can simultaneously or relay record, separate RAW/JPEG data and stills/movies, and copy data between cards.

Extend shooting to professional length

The α7R III can use a NP-FZ100 battery with approx. 2.2 times as much capacity as a NP-FW50 battery. USB Type-C™ and Multi/Micro USB ports allow connection of external batteries for extended shooting.

Rating function

With rating function, you can rate recorded still images from 1 to 5 stars anywhere right on the spot, using the playback screen to perform the function if it is assigned to a custom button.

Grouping display for continuous shots

A series of photos shot in continuous mode can be reviewed as groups, play index display is improved, and continuous groups can be deleted or protected at once.

My Menu: faster to your favorites

Register up to 30 frequently used items on the new My Menu for instant recall. You can create and customize an optimal menu for your own convenience

Eye AF with doubled performance

With the α7R III, Eye AF evolves with two times⁶ more immediate, effective eye detection and tracking, even when shooting a moving portrait subject.

Even if face is partially hidden¹⁹

Even when looking down¹⁹

Even in dim light¹⁹

Enhanced image stabilization: freer shooting

Thanks to enhanced 5-axis in-camera image stabilizer, whenever you want to move and shoot freely, you can rely on the α7R III’s high-resolution performance and mobility, in order to concentrate on the subject without worrying about various types of camera-shake blur.

 

 

Pitch and yaw compensation

Horizontal/vertical shift compensation

Roll compensation

5-axis optical in-body image stabilization

New stabilization unit/gyro sensors/algorithms effectively raise 5.5 stops²⁰. Five types of camera shake — angular shake (pitch/yaw), X/Y shift, and rotational shake (roll) — are compensated.

High connectivity for professional workflow

The α7R III includes USB 3.1 Gen 1 compatible USB Type-C™ port and sync terminals that enable the camera to be connected directly to external devices without delay. These connections make workflow more seamless and stress-free, even for studio shooting that makes use of PC tethered shooting or flash.

 

USB 3.1 Gen 1 for fast data transfer

This makes PC tethered shooting available for smooth handling of big RAW image files, so you can quickly review images on a PC and continue shooting without much delay for file transfers.

 

Sync terminal available

A standard sync terminal is provided for convenient synchronization with studio flash units and other external lighting equipment.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting

This new Pixel Shift Multi Shooting²⁴ reproduces still images that contain true-to-life detail, texture, color, and overall atmosphere.

High-resolution 4K² HDR³

In addition to capability to record stunning high-resolution 4K movies² through 5K (15MP) oversampling, the camera features a new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma)³ picture profile, supporting instant HDR workflow, that offers wide dynamic range for highly precise and lifelike movie images without color grading.

 

 

Shoot and record 4K movies² with oversampling

You can shoot and internally record 4K movies²oversampled from 5K (15MP) equivalent data in Super 35mm format. The results are startlingly beautiful in every detail.
