Sony officially released the full-frame interchangeable lens digital camera Sony Alpha 7R VI (model: ILCE-7RM6) in Taiwan today (5/21). It is equipped with a sensor with approximately 66.8 million effective pixels and a new BIONZ XR2 image processor with an integrated AI processing unit, which combines high pixels and high-speed shooting. The FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS super telephoto zoom lens, which debuted at the same time, brings an autofocus speed that is approximately 3 times faster than the previous generation, fully strengthening the professional creative landscape of the Sony Alpha series.
A new standard for high-resolution and high-speed photography
The Alpha 7R VI is equipped with a full-frame stacked Exmor RS sensor of approximately 66.8 million effective pixels, with a maximum dynamic range of 16 levels. Combined with the upgraded Dynamic Range Optimization (DRO) technology, it can present rich image levels and details. In terms of shooting performance, the Alpha 7R VI’s sensor reading speed is approximately 5.6 times higher than that of the previous generation, enabling high-speed continuous shooting of up to approximately 30 frames per second without black screen, and supports 60 autofocus and automatic exposure calculations per second, ensuring accurate and stable focus tracking performance during high-speed continuous shooting. The newly supported “pre-shooting function” can automatically record images for a short period of time before fully pressing the shutter. Whether it is a moment of a sports event or an ecological moment of a wild animal, you can easily capture key moments.
Alpha 7R VI is finally equipped with a fully stacked sensor, bringing unprecedented speed performance to the previous generations of the Alpha 7R series, and has additional pixels and the same processor used in Alpha 9 III released last year.
AI-driven focusing and recording capabilities
Alpha 7R VI is equipped with the new “real-time recognition autofocus AF+” technology. Through AI human posture prediction and advanced subject recognition capabilities, coupled with more flexible focus area settings, it can continuously and accurately track and focus on distant or moving subjects.
In terms of video recording, the camera supports 8K 30p and full-frame 4K 60p and 120p without cropping video, and for the first time introduces “Dual Gain (Dual Gain) shooting” technology, which can effectively reduce noise and preserve dark details. Equipped with a fully upgraded body anti-shake system, which increases the roll direction compensation range by 2 times and the dynamic active mode, even when shooting dynamic images handheld, it can still present smooth and layered high-definition videos.
FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS super telephoto zoom lens launched simultaneously
The new FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS super telephoto zoom lens, specially designed for full-frame Alpha E mount cameras, covers the 100-400mm focal length and has a constant F4.5 aperture. It adopts a variety of advanced optical designs such as new ED XA (extra-low dispersion extreme aspherical), Even at full aperture, it can still display exquisite image quality and rich image details.
The lens has four built-in XD linear motors and the latest AF algorithm, fully supporting Alpha 9 III’s high-speed continuous shooting tracking and continuous AF/AE tracking of up to 120 frames per second, enabling stable focus tracking even when facing high-speed moving subjects. According to Sony US official website information, the new lens has about 3 times faster autofocus than the previous generation, and the subject tracking performance has also improved by about 50%. The lens can be used with a teleconverter to reach a maximum distance of 800mm, and can be extended to 1,200mm in APS-C mode to meet the needs of a variety of super telephoto shooting applications. Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS super telephoto zoom lens has a recommended price of NT$129,980.
Professional accessories and power supply system are upgraded simultaneously
Sony has simultaneously launched an XLR-A4 microphone adapter compatible with the Alpha 7R VI, which supports up to 96kHz / 32-bit floating point recording and 4-channel digital audio recording. It is equipped with dual ADC analog-to-digital converters and a low-center-of-gravity body design, which can effectively improve the sound quality and shooting stability. The suggested selling price is NT$19,980.
Alpha 7R VI uses the new NP-SA100 high-capacity rechargeable battery for the first time, which provides higher output power and capacity than the previous NP-FZ100, and supports battery health detection functions. The VG-C6 vertical handle, which was simultaneously launched, is ergonomically designed and has an optimized dual-battery configuration. Optional accessories such as the BC-SAD1 battery charger and DC-C2 DC coupler are also available simultaneously, comprehensively improving battery life and operational convenience for long-term shooting.
