S-Cinetone™ to easily create a cinematic look
Utilising the same colour science from Sony’s highly regarded Cinema Line, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin tones, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights.

Advanced movie recording for simpler post-production
In-camera 10-bit 4:2:2 recording is available when using Long GOP or All-Intra compression, making it possible to colour grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom.

Log recording for powerful creative possibilities
The α7C II boasts an S-Log3 gamma curve that emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-grey (18% grey), achieving 14+ stops of latitude. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3. Cine colour 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 pre-applied.

Active Mode image stabilisation supports handheld movie shooting
Active Mode provides enhanced image stabilisation for handheld shooting. A precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors and an optimised image stabilisation algorithm work together for exceedingly smooth, stable movie footage. In addition to this in-body stabilisation, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilisation coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, enabling handheld telephoto shots with greater clarity.

Stay focused with Real-time Tracking
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.

Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view
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 favourite 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 recognise human movement, achieving significant improvement in human eye recognition. Its human pose estimation technology uses a skeleton-based model, enabling it to recognise 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 aeroplane recognition. Animal recognition now recognises 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 recognise these animals when the 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 recognising birds’ heads and bodies.

Tenacious Real-time Tracking
